HOMM 2 - Broken Alliance tips
Marek Pawelec
I've played this scenario several times, and won two or three times. In
my opinion, the best is to start as an orange player, and I personally
prefere Knight or Necromancer, but I do belive, it is not really
important in this scenario.
1. Go and get wood and ore.
2. As soon as possible (second - third day), go with your second hero on
the lower right corner, to the teleport. You will have to fight only one
weak stack of monsters. Through teleport, you will get to the island,
with UNDEFENDED gold mine, and some resources.
3. Later on, you can teleport your hero through teleport on thr right,
to get on the upper side of map, and try to get free resources, but
yellow player can attack you soon, so flee during the battle, and you
can buy your hero back.
4. Gold mine on the island can be yours sometimes even for few weeks,
before AI will grab it. Do not attack the village on the island, you
can't upgrade it to a city, all you can get there is some spells and one
red dragon/week.
The violet (the last one) player starts the scenario with two castles:
on the lower left - like any other player, and in the lower right
cornet, on the separate island. The second one is always complete
wizard's castle, and the hero starts with few titans, so if he will get
the Dimension door in the Mage Guild, you can give up.
If you're lucky, it is also nice to start as a green player, but you
need some luck to quickly get to the teleport (go up). My wife preferres
this location, and she has also won the game.
And finally, when I was playing the scenario for the firs time, I won as
a blue Knight, but I was extremely lucky, the AI players fought each
other and I had time to get strong.
