Introduction
Greetings! My name is Farsight, and welcome to my Guide.

I have played Conquest of Elysium 3 (COE3) for almost a 1000 hours now. While I've had a chance to play all the classes, I definitely have my favorites, and my not so favorites. Still, I hope that I'll be able to give them all an equally good and fair showing, without too much bias.
Chapter 1 - The Witch
:::::Description:::::

Despite being a summoner class, she is very simple to play, though not necessarily easy.
This class will see you spending the entire game harvesting the unique Fungus resource.
The Fungus is required by your Witches in order to summon all of your unique swamp units.

:::::Millitary:::::

You're millitary is very simple, because you can only recruit three units, Spearmen, Archers and Cavalry. Though the only one worth considering is the Archer, it's the best humanoid Archer in the game that you have avaliable to you. It deals additional poison damage on top of it's regular damage, which means it deals a lot of damage per round.

Your summoned units are known to have a lot of heads and tentacles, which translates as lots of attacks each round giving all you swamp monsters really high damage per round (DPR) ratings. Your other swamp monsters will be bringing a lot of special attacks to the table, which will deal a lot of poison damage.

:::::Economy:::::

Very simple economy. You'll flag Ancient Forests, Forests and Swamps to produce your Fungus. You'll also want to keep an eye open for tiles that produce a lot of Gold. You'll never need any tools, so capturing mines is a very low priority.

:::::Strategy:::::

Very simple strategy.

1.) Harvest Fungus.
2.) Find a Swamp.
3.) Summon Old Ones.
4.) Attack opponents with Old Ones.
5.) Rinse and repeat.

The hardest part of this strategy is that it relies heavily on Swamps. No Swamp? No Strategy.
However, should you happen to have a Swamp within view of your tower, then your victory is all but set in stone.

You should be wary of the Enchanter class, as they possess an ability that turn a Swamp into a Golem, destroying the Swamp in the process. On the otherhand, if you're allied with them, then you could get them to turn a Lake into swamp for you during the Winter season.
