I agree with below comments and in other community posts Id pay $10-15 for this Eastern Realms Pack all day. I havent played your other quests but Im just playing them only. A youtuber lpkiss showcased them. Credit to him.

Been playing since i was 16 on and off (im now 35) must have beat the game a dozen times, got bored and replayed quests using less preferred approachs setups to make them harder until my last playthrough I discovered your quests. Absoute top notch.

Creative, developer level quality, realistic difficulty, but this one so far has me annoyed after 8 goes at it. Ive tried building wizard guilds almost immediately on whichever kingdom I felt was going to be a problem later on then moving my ranger guilds and just harassing them before they can get built up.

Tried the classic strong defensive dauros agrela approach.

Tried the long drawn out style of building each type of guild setup destroying them and using outposts, embassys to house them so I had every hero type then go back to dauros agrela to revive them and let them level up ridiculously high.

Im going to have to think out of the box here more so then usual.

On the first try overall this mission seemed really easy, but the twist at the end got me. Defeating 3 huge enemy kingdoms was too much and I lost.
What did I do on the second time? Full focus on economy, balista towers + outposts. No heroes at all, Snow Giants do all the defending job with balista towers.
Before I defeated the Lightning God I marked all of the future enemy kingdom palaces with something like 20k+ gold bounty. I did a smaller bounty on all of them like 5k in the early game so their heroes are constantly harrasing their own kingdom.
So basically I destroyed all of my future enemies with 0 heroes. After that I started getting heroes, leveling them a little to destroy the God and his temples. Easy.

finished in 56 days with rage of krolm. dont play any other tactics anymore cause they are just not that effective as rok. hat to destroy other castles first and only then kill the god.

First of all "DUDE YOU ARE THE BEST"

No seriously, you may as well get pay to make DLC of this game, you missions are totally new and fresh and I LOVE IT! this one is a perfect prove of it: you have A.I ally that help you FIGHT! and then betray you after killing the Storm god!!!! Dude well done 10/10

Also fun fact, my monk of level 6 critic hit the Storm Lord and kill him in one hit LOL rest in peace my dude, rest in peace....

Ah ok, makes sense. Thank you again! You're awesome!

@SilverDragon - Unfortunately there is no functionality to upgrade buildings for the AI in the game right now, though this has been requested in the past: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/73230/discussions/0/385428458171565052/#c385428458171702565
So until that gets implemented, the only way they can build tier 2/3 buildings is to start it from scratch. They are still paying the entire gold amount as if they built the tier 1 and hit the upgrade button like the player.

As for the attack flag issue, I think I have fixed that in the latest update. What I think was happening is that if you placed a reward flag, then removed it, it was reverting the AI player to a neutral team. It should now keep them as an enemy team.

@VikesRule - Just finished playing it since the changes. MUCH BETTER! Omg...lol. Granted...still took me almost 144 days to win...but I did it! I really enjoyed it.

One thing I noticed:

After we defeated the Lightning God and all the Kingdoms turned against me as intended...part of the way through (mind you it was hard for me to notice all this as I'm just trying to survive and take out one Kingdom at a time) one of the Kingdoms (specifically red) didn't attack me anymore. After I defeated the other 2 Kingdoms and placed an attack flag on the last Kingdom is when they finally started attacking me again. So it was like me doing a 1v2. Still very challenging.

Last thing:
This is NOT a problem to me btw, just wasn't sure if it was something you intended. When AI was building structures, some of them were built immediately as lvl 2 or lvl3 guilds market place/blacksmith. Again, not a problem for me. I was fine with it.

VRMAI 2.0 has been rolled out for this quest in the latest update - I plan on modifying all my quests that utilize AI kingdoms to this new and improved AI. Check the description for a list of the changes for the AI. I have also finally got the quest image working!

On a positive note, I really am enjoying most of the quests you're making. They're all pretty unique and fresh. I hope you continue to make more. You've come up with some brilliant things.

@VikesRule - Thanks for the reply. I just found it impossible to get anywhere with the way it currently functions. Even one (let alone 3) is difficult (maybe impossible) to deal with unless you take cheesy measures. The first time I played this game I think I was on somewhere around 80 days (I forget the exact number) and all three factions took over the entire map with structures to the point where there was no room to build anything. I would destroy some houses and an Elven Guild would pop up instantly full health. The only way I was able to beat this level was build up my economy really fast with market places/elves....scout the map with rangers and quickly build a Wizard's Guild as close as I could to each faction's Palace. Once we beat the Lightning God...I just lightning them all the Palaces down. But I find that type of win less desirable.

@SilverDragon - There are complications to making it so the peasants have to build all their buildings due to how I have their recruiting of heroes for guilds and their researching of things. It is done instantly, so if the buildings were not at full HP when placed, they would still function as if they were full HP. By that I mean, the AI would still be able to recruit a hero from the guilds, and economy buildings would be usable. So it would just look weird. The way I have it is not a perfect system but the AI still has to use it's gold to build things and recruit heroes.

Well I found a way to win...it was super cheeky though, lol

I don't know how I feel about this one. I like the concept of it, but I genuinely do not know how to beat this. I think the main issue I have with it is the "instant buildings". The other kingdoms don't require their peasants to build their structures...they just pop up. Makes it impossible to invade because while my heroes are in...they just get surrounded by more buildings and more heroes. If the buildings didn't just pop up and actually had to be built I think I would stand a chance. I've tried so many different strategies to win this one. I just don't think it's possible.
