Armies of Exigo - YesYes? - Page 16

We've got a simple task ahead of us. Kill. Destroy. Sound familiar yet? We have
some nice new units to play with though, so killing becomes more fun.
Nightmares are really cool, indeed. They have a Frost Shield spell which can be
set to autocast and raises the armor of whatever it was cast on. Domina,
herself, is a Matriarch, and they have the ability to raise skeletons from dead
things (like a Necromancer). You should've realized by now that the Fallen
depend greatly upon ranged units. In fact, their only non-ranged unit is the
Hive Stinger! This can be a pain in the ass in large battles, however, as units
tend to get stuck behind each other, away from the action. So watch out for
that.

The Dwarves start attacking almost immediately. Your Harvesters are pretty
tough, so you can use them to attack until you get a Hive. Set Domina's
Necromancy spell to autocast (just right-click the spell button) so that she
raises skeletons for now. They last a fairly long time and are pretty powerful
for dusty old bones.

There are two entrances to your base, northeast and southeast. Northeast gets
the most of the attacks, but they will come from the southeast at times, too.
Build a few Lightning Spires for defense, and have some extra Spitters or
Nightmares for backup.

Following the southeast exit, head east and you'll come upon a Crypt. Garrison
a Summoner inside of it and you can purchase Ghosts for 125 Gold and 75 Gems.
Further east, all the way in the southeast corner is a pile of gems (like
chests) so pick them up for 4,000 Gems. Yes, 4,000! Just north of the free gems
is a gold field. East of that is a hallway with the first of the Dwarf
Treasures (500 Gold), so grab it. Then head west past the gold field and take
the first path north to find the second Dwarf Treasure (500 Gold again). Head
east back to the gold field and this time go north until you get to a
crossroads. Take the east path to get to the Dwarven Treasury. Make sure you
grab all the hunks of gold to complete the objective, then go back to the
crossroads. Go all the way north (ignoring the path west for now) and you'll
find some more gems (3000 total), grab them, then go back to the main
crossroads and take the west path. Destroy the Sanctuary and you'll have access
to the gate area now.

Once the Sanctuary is destroyed you'll see two magic barries drop. One is north
of the crossroads while the other is north of your base. You can sneak Hive
Stingers in the entrance by your base, but first you have to have them fly over
the water, then land. That's entirely optional though.

Before you continue on, I'd recommend you build up a rather large strike force.
You could get away with just a few troops before, but the final assault is
going to be much harder. Lots of little Dwarfies protect their sacred gate, and
they most definitely aren't giving up without a fight. I'd recommend at least
two full groups of mixed Nightmares and Hive Spitters. You might want to bring
an extra full group just in case. Better safe than sorry. Plus, again, make
sure Domina's Necromancy spell is set to autocast. Lots of little bone warriors
add up after a while!

When you're ready, head north from the crossroads and this time take the first
path west you find (just south of where the gems were). Kill everything in here
and bring Domina to the gate and it's...

MISSION COMPLETE!
