The Protectors of Etheria - The Fifth Horseman - Scenario 30 - Guardia - The Crown of Thyatis
We have the first item stolen from Dark Elves of Yrm. Knights of Guardia are giving us location of their hidden shrine near the mountains where they hold Crown of Thyatis. Our plan is to steal second item from Knights and escape north to Solhaven. Betrayed Knights will charge on us with great force. This scenario is really tough because of our enemy advantages. We fight on small map and our enemy base is guarded by another passive Knight player. Cavaliers and Paladins guarding the base are very hard to kill and we are unable to attack the Knights from the beginning of scenario. Start from converting mines east of your base beyond the bridge. Enemy hero will be really annoying so if you have enough stone you can build towers and walls and block your enemies from attacking on this side. You must build up your base fast. Knights will attack you with large army already in first attack and you can't counterattack for now. Just defend yourself until you resarch some upgrades for your units and elite units will be available to produce. Create large army and attack the Knights. You must deal with elite Knights of second passive player. Kill all Cavaliers and Paladins fast as you can and retreat to your base. Reinforce your army and attack again killing most of the guardians. Now start regular war with Knights and siege their base. Send reinforcements immediately after units creation. Knights are really tough so you must engage endless skirmish with them and don't let them catch their breath. Push on Knights and slay enemy heroes. Catapults are required you should produce few of them. Destroy the Knights base and steal the Crown of Thyatis. After the battle Dark Arrow escapes north to Solhaven, but Knights are sending army to capture her and recover both items. Also the Dark Elves are sending their assassin to eliminate us now when we are not under protection of Knights of Guardia. We must escape the Isle of Dawn fast but we need transport ships. Wood Elves from Solhaven are in possession of many ships. We must convince them to help us with our mission.
