       TIPS FOR THE GAME "Black Crow"

         (C) Disk Killer / NRG 2001


              Start Phase


  In the early stages need to figure out whom to buy more - 
soldiers or workers. Therefore, start with the exploration of 
mine, your task - find the nearest city to the mine. If

found safely Strengthen Army. If not found, it will have more 
money to give labor to increase the arrival rate of gold, but 
do not forget that even needed and the forest. Your victory 
depends on the distribution of money to the military and labor. 
Try to learn at the beginning only closest and most friendly

mine.

  Sometimes it is necessary to protect its mine
small detachment to avoid loss
significant number of peasants at the hands of
enemy, who itch to attack it
from this side.


                Intelligence


  Intelligence - it is very important and useful
case because the well-explored
map shows the location of the enemy camp, and all enemy 
movement. In the beginning I advise to scout the neighborhood 
of the (Not far from the city), because if

immediately start to climb deep into the card, you can run into 
a patrol or ambush, and lose their Warriors, who at the 
beginning and so barely missing. In addition, the wounded 
enemies will go your revenge, and so weak city. So

that is not expecting trouble ahead of time: to war still would 
have done. With a reasonably good development of the 
exploration potential is already possible to send suicide 
bombers (the soldiers with life force, barely visible in the 
frame of life). Simply just to explore magical creatures 
(skeleton, spiders, scorpions) - standing on the ground they 
still kill, to Moreover, they are not sorry to lose, as men to 
be purchased "for their money." 

  In the course of exploration you can even destroy
multiple enemies. For instance, if found
city, then you can drive under its walls
fast scouts (spiders, scorpions, riders with increased speed). 
This will bring a double benefit: first, you learn location of 
enemy catapults (hopefully that is not awarded posthumously), 
and secondly, the same catapult, instead of hitting you, begin 
watering run out to meet you protection. If you try hard, we can

ruined a considerable number of soldiers and sow
more panic in the ranks of the enemy. In some cases, in the 
course of exploration can be detected by enemy city with a very 
weak protection, and use this to their (Vile) purposes, to 
break this protection without extra effort and burn the city 
behind basic protection.



    How to destroy enemy catapults


  In order not to incur huge losses in the assault must be 
reduced, and then eliminate enemy artillery (catapults). This 
can crank out in several ways:  1. Entice evil catapult into 
the open field. This can be done teased enemy catapult to get 
to shoot at you. AND If you are still alive, then run away to a 
safe distance. Excited (the call of instinct predator) catapult 
would leave the city in hopes of getting another chance. You in 
turn, Othmani it away from its release reserves - to hide 
behind bushes, one or two riders with a good

speed. Attack need not all at once, and
one by one, to avoid injuries.
 2. Destroy the enemy catapult can
driving in the fortress of the enemy his catapult.
But that did not happen redemption before their catapult need 
to let the cannon fodder (The same as spiders, scorpions, 
skeletons, or someone from the infantry) to it

found the maximum safe distance
(To catapult unable dostrelnut), we find a point to let the 
infantry forward to catapult the enemy made

his shot and lost the ability to move. Fails his catapult and 
make it fatal shot. 

  Note: this method works for
provided that the part of your attack is not
protection.
 3. If you have a considerable army, with the decisive attack 
ahead is to put riders at high speed to block the enemy 
catapults. They may die, destroying them, but they will not let 
destroy your main army artillery fire.


  Tip: Do not try to attack the catapult archers, but if you 
have already decided this desperate step, try to stay as close 
as possible to the catapult is not driven away to a distance 
shot.  4. Destroy the enemy's guns can be quite effective at 
using magic, wizard people, which I called "meteorite rain" 
(who saw this magic in action, understand what I mean). 

  Note: if you use magic to
bombing catapults should be ready
immediately give a tear, as a wounded catapult can travel with 
you.  (My note [BC]: I know that similar results can be 
achieved by magic kung "black crosses). 


         How easy to pass mission


  Simply mission could take place
at the level of magic to the ability of
do stenogryzov or demons. If you
reached such a level, then simply create a
yourself a good defense of the city and buy a six
wizards or warlocks to create a super-unit of the same 
stenogryzov or demons and leading the defense, send magic 
detachments of the enemy. Several such attacks - and the enemy 
is defeated! 


              Development of Mines


  Sometimes it is useful to destroy the mine (if the
It can be chosen). If you notice
that your opponent's money in the mine
more than in yours, or you will end
gold first, then it would be reasonable to destroy the enemy's 
mine - unless, of course, it is impossible to bring under 
control. If you destroyed mine enemy, pre-

leaving her enough money to
hang up in frustration of the enemy, the victory is in your 
pocket. You can also at the beginning of the mission to start 
developing the mine opponent, if it is safe, and thus

way to save his gold.


                 Ambush


  If you run out of funds to increase the number of Army and 
its support, then only chance to win an ambush. But this method 
will work, provided that your opponent is not too large force 
(permissible superiority approximately 2-fold). You can collect 
his remaining strength, and even to leave their city. 

  Need to find a place suitable for
ambush - for example, the area of ​​the forest (very
preferably close to an enemy city), in
which have little to prolazy odnogodvuh attackers. After 
finding a suitable location and building where its forces have 
to worry about and attackers (lure the trap). To lure perfectly 
fit the remaining idle peasants or peons. There are also 
options for clearing the ambush from the forest with the 
workers. 


    My advice on this end.

        I wish to play and win!
