4. Introduction

Heroes of Might and Magic II is one of my favorite computer games. It is
a turn based strategy game, which means you do all the things you want to
or can do in one turn, then the other players (usually the computer, unless
you're playing a multiplayer game) do their stuff. Each area of the map in every
scenario is encased in darkness, with the exception of your immediate area.
As you explore, the map is revealed. Only when the map is revealed, or when
your opponents enter the viewable area, will you have any idea of what they are
doing.

You begin each scenario with at least one castle, and at least one Hero.
Each castle has different types of structures, and you need to build each
structure to increase your army size.

There are seven different resources that you'll need to build these
structures: wood, ore, gems, sulfur, mercury, crystal, and gold.
There are mines for each of these structures, and
loose resources are scattered throughout the maps.

There are also artifacts, buildings, and random monsters located on the maps as
well.
When you encounter monsters, one of 3 things will happen: A) you'll fight them,
B) they'll be afraid of your army size and begin to run, and you'll have the
option
of chasing and fighting them, or C) they'll offer to join your army,
either out of a desire for greater glory, or for a price.

Each Hero has 4 primary skills: Attack, Defense, Spell Power, and Knowledge.
Attack, Defense and Spell Power are pretty self explanatory. Some spells vary in
damage depending what your Power rating is. For example, Magic Arrow does 10
times
your Power rating (if your rating is 5, the spell will do 50 damage).

Your Knowledge level determines how many maximum magic points
you have: 10 times your Knowledge level = your maximum magic
points (i.e. a knowledge level of 7 means you'll have 70 magic points).

A Hero can also learn up to 8 secondary skills. These skills can be at 3
different
levels: Basic, Advanced, and Expert.

Each time your Hero gains a level, one of his primary skills will go up 1,
and he or she can learn one of two secondary skills. They can either learn
a new skill, or increase their proficiency in a skill they already have.

5. Ways to Win:

A. Standard. This is the most common. Just defeat all your
opponent's Heroes and capture all their towns.

B. Capture Castle: Capture a specific castle.

C. Defeat Hero: Defeat a particular enemy Hero.

D. Find Artifact: Find a particular artifact.

E. Wealth: Accumulate a specific amount of gold in your treasury.

F. Team: Your team must defeat the opposing team.

6. Loss Conditions:

A. Standard: Lose all your Heroes and castles.

B. Lose Castle: Lose a particular castle.

C. Lose Hero: Lose a particular Hero.

D. Time Limit: Fail to complete objectives before time runs out.

7. Wizard Overview:

A. High Points: Three range creatures, including the two best in the game.
Three very
fast creatures (when all are upgraded). Two of the range creatures have
no
adjacent
creature penalty. Good attack skills, decent defense skills. Most troops
are not very
expensive. Excellent long term army, good in mid-game, but rough at
beginning until
all structures are upgraded.

B. Low Points: Only one flying creature. Titans and the upgraded Cloud Castle
are
EXPENSIVE. Most troops are very slow in beginning of game.

C. Overall: A very good army. First or second best (the Warlock army battles
it for the
top spot) in strength. Get Gems in plentiful reserves, you'll need them
for the Cloud
Castles. Titans are great. Able to beat Dragons in one-on-one combat.

against Black Dragons
and defeat them. In fact, they do extra damage against Black
Dragons.

10. Required/Helpful Skills

Here are some secondary skills which will prove useful:

A. Leadership: This gives a morale increase. High morale equals more turns.
Always helpful to get more attacks out of your creatures,
particulary your range troops.
Basic gives +1 bonus; Advanced +2; Expert +3.

B. Archery: This increases damage done by your range creatures. You have
three, and the more
damage they can do, the better.
Basic = an increase in damage by 10%; Advanced = 25%; Expert=
50%.

C. Wisdom: You need this to be able to learn more spells at the Mage Guild.
Basic lets you learn 3rd level; Advanced: 4th level; Expert: 5th
level. Wizards usually
start with Advanced Wisdom.

D. Ballistics: This increases catapult shots, accuracy, and damage done to
walls.
Basic: 1 shot, and extra damage. Advanced: 2 shots, extra
damage.
Expert: 2 shots, maximum damage.

E. Luck: This increases your luck, which, when in battle, allows a creature
to
cause maximum possible damage. Basic: +1, Advanced: +2, Expert: +3.

F. Estates: Titans are expensive, as are their dwellings. Try and get this
one
early. This skill nets
you more gold per day.
Basic: 100 gold per day; Advanced: 250 gold; Expert: 500 gold.

11. Helpful Spells:

A. Bless: Causes creatures to inflict maximum damage. Lasts one round per
Power.
1st level, 3 magic points.

B. Bloodlust: Adds +3 to a creature's Attack skill. Lasts one round per Power
(Power of 3, lasts 3 rounds). 1st level, 3 magic points.

C. Chain Lightning: 40 X Power, then half damage to nearest creature until
bolt hits 4 creatures.
Be warned though: this can affect your creatures as
well, and it won't affect enemy
dragons. 15 magic points, level 4.

D. Haste: You'll have some slightly slow creatures (Golems, Rocs, Halflings),
and Haste adds +2 to a
creature's speed. Lasts one round per Power. Costs 3 magic
points,
is a level 1 spell.

E. Blind: Blinds a creature for one round per Spell Power. Enemy can't move
until attacked, and
retaliates with half strength. Level 2, 6 magic points.

There are lots of other spells, these are just a few.

12. Worst Enemy

The worst enemy for the Wizard is the Warlock. The Dragons, namely the Black
Dragons, are really
the only creatures who can go up against the Titans and win. All the other 6th
level creatures can't
compare to the Titans in strength and defense. The Black Dragons also give the
enemy hero a chance
to use a spell which will negatively affect your creatures. But Titans do extra
damage against Black
Dragons, and that's a plus for them.
