DRAGON CAMPAIGN:

Easiest campaign yet. I was right when I said that the dragon hero would be the best one. Start the campaign by maxing food and gold and then unlock the Firestarter and start every map by summoning him. He will utterly destroy everything single-handedly. Just make sure to have a second force running around somewhere just in case the enemy runs their guys around your Firestarter. Minus potential enemy Hero involvement which I haven't experienced yet, there's no way the AI will ever take the Firestarter down.

115/119 medals earned this way. Just spam militia until you get set up for a Firestarter, then use him for everything.

Here's hoping that the Majaphrat (or whatever they're called) campaign is harder than the past few have been... in order of hardest to easiest: Human Premium Island > Undead Campaign > Human Campaign > Orc Campaign > Elf Campaign > Dragon Campaign.

i know, right.

Meh, I loved this game. By coincidence I did Elves first, then Dragons and then Orcs all on hard and loved figuring out how to spend and respend my shields to win every map.
So I didn't know that the Human campaign (Forgotten Kingdom)and the Undead campaign (haven't tried this one) have-non premium maps which are impossible to win without a premium account. I have just wasted ages trying to figure out how to beat Forgotten Kindom before getting premium and hitting the premium towns. I think the premium thing is fine, but tell us for god sake..

By the way, on Forgotten Kindom the first enemy castle only has two hit points. You can take it out with a basic spell in the first five seconds (or you can let it send you some weaker units to get some gold first).

To the original poster, Archlordpie: I don't think your criticisms of gameplay are at all fair. We don't have to be proud of having better strategic thinking than a free computer program.
The developer isn't on a multi-million dollar budget. He has compensated for the AI limitations sensibly and perfectly. The way the computer acts and the advantages it is given make the challenge perfect and hard to beat on difficult settings. If it had the same limitations or the limitations you suggest then the fun challenge would be lose.

The way things are, we need to observe, learn that we are going to have big problems if we lose key locations and adapt our human strategy. It's great.

The pathfinding in this game is awful and very problematic. If you want to take points off for this then that's understandable. But for me its a great ultra low budget game. The only thing that loses points for me is the sneaky use of premium maps without notification. Maybe that drops it to a 6/10 but i think 3/10 because of your criticisms is a bit harsh.

Salamander alone can take any enemy hero if no healer or massive amounts of ranged units are involved...
