"From the damage seen thus far, it is expected that what lies ahead will be even worse. Having beaten back several patrolling armies, the Heroes have finally reached the first of several fortresses under Hexis's control. They will need to conquer them all if they hope to weaken Hexis enough to take him in the final battle."
Up against a Wall is the second scenario in the The Gathering Storm campaign in The Gathering Storm expansion.
Information[]
"Continue your quest deeper into the lands ravaged by Hexis, and conquer any fortress under his control."
As they travelled deeper into Hexis's territory, the five heroes came across a handful of fortresses loyal to him. Sieging the town, they managed to weaken Hexis's hold on the surrounding area.
Strategy[]
The five heroes start out with a Haven. There are three enemy towns, each belonging to a seperate player, and none providing much of a challenge against the heroes. The two northern-most towns are Preserves, the southern one is a Necropolis.
The towns aren't hard to reach, so heading straight for the towns is an option, though looking for a few Coliseums, Coliseums of Magic, and Trees of Knowledge, will make them better prepared for the final fight in the next scenario.
Note that the three enemy towns have fully upgraded mage guilds.
