I make this look fast, but only due to meticulous planning. You start completely surrounded and the enemy buildings produce nonstop once they come online. I choose the Dwarven leadership boni because it is only available here and I already used the Paladin boni on a previous mission. If you struggle with this mission, take the Paladin boni and make mostly Paladins. Without hesitation, I move to the upper left to begin clearing bases before they activate. Substantial reinforcements also spawn pretty frequently that I know I can rely on for help, so I move counterclockwise and take out four bases at lightning speed. Any slower would lead to a protracted, gritty defense of all entrances on one gold mine. Not only is nearly all attack wave pressure removed at this point, but it opens up multiple safe gold mines. The top Orange base is kept busy by Lord of the Sky, a nigh invulnerable airship that comes in because we gave Marin a bunch of lumber on the Lords of the Golden Guard map in the previous act. Truthfully, Lord of the Sky isn't that all helpful (it IS really cool though) and only needing to defend against Orange is a cakewalk if the other bases are destroyed promptly. A final base also attacks via a one-way Waygate from the right. As soon as Orange is destroyed, I set up new lumber harvesting because I plan to attack the final base through this blocked top entrance. During this downtime, I send my heroes around to collect stuff and prepare for a very challenging final assault. The bottom entrance is a long chasm that is basically impossible to run through without getting stuck in by the endless reinforcements of the bases defenders. Instead, I send a smaller force through the bottom path to pull the defenders, then send most units through the newly opened top path to snipe production. This plan only half works and the defensive force stays distracted for a fraction of the time I had hoped, but it is enough to get siege weaponry in to destroy structures. Progderas does respawn, so don't think eliminating him once will make future attacks any easier. I honestly don't have a great answer to this final base. It's quite difficult and the enemy rebuilds faster than you can kill them in the narrow passageways, hence my distraction/sniping strategy.

Not only is Lord of the Sky not that helpful in this mission It's gonna be a Super Strong foe you have to fight against later lol. But hey content.

[@normtrooper4392]

Great to see the paladins in action, even if it is sad what is to come

[@notshockwavedemon7543]

I do feel bad for Praxeus knowing what I know now Dood saw Gardon as someone very close to him before.

[@qcrsdf813]

Cannot imagine this mission without paladins

[@lisboah]

The Golden Guard knows honor? If only you knew what the Golden Guard have done while you were busy in your caves, High King.

[@Larow17]

Did they really do something THAT bad?

[@lisboah]

@@Larow17 Started a civil war that engulfed three kingdoms. Were planning to abandon the Kingdoms. Planned to kill Gardon.
