Strats for the "Bloody Offenses" mission....

[Analad]

I didn't used much the towers during the campaign. So I saw the case only once with a mage tower but I don't remember what happened only that at beginning I got the feeling the vampire health didn't go down but I had the focus on something else and never saw life draining from the mage tower, just that the vampire health seems not have lower from first to second check.

When the serpent invasion came I laughed at it and let them swarm for a good 10-20 minutes because my heroes were just walking all over them and leveling up.

I start most missions with a Cleric's guild, Rogue's guild and either a Warrior or Ranger depending on whether there's anything big I need to fight at the start. I used Warrior's in this one, building stuff to reveal the trading post to the northeast as fast as possible and built it. I also have a habit of making sure every group of heroes has some kind of healer. Because the Clerics do a lot of damage to undead and the map is swarming with undead, I got a second Cleric's guild quicker than usual. The trading post really helped my early income.
