Manual description[edit | edit source]

Evil never rests, and Sandro is no exception. He has formed another plan to dominate Antagarich, starting with Erathia. With a little help from the corrupted Lord Haart, the brutish Kreegans and the greedy Dungeon Overlords, he will soon rule all of Antagarich.

Backstory[edit | edit source]

Sandro's first attempt at conquering Antagarich has failed. However, he is not defeated. Sandro will pull together several groups of people and start the first rumblings of war that will engulf all of Antagarich.

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

The second scenario is easily won early as it is not that hard to turtle and amass 100,000 gold. However I would recommend deliberately delaying your victory by spending your money if it gets too close to the threshold, and seek to eradicate your foes entirely. Take the time to build all mage guilds to max. If you can get it, the Fly spell is extremely powerful in the third and fourth scenario. The maps are very small mazes, and you can fly over barriers and take enemy positions easily. Try and get the spell for Sandro in particular, as only he will be carried over to the fourth and final scenario.
