THE GALLEANS RETURN, LEGIONS OF THE DAMNED "SERVANTS OF THE DARK" SAGA
WALKTHROUGH
==============================================================================
¦   This walkthrough is copyrighted to Mister Sinister (2004)                ¦

==============================================================================
THE THREE MISSIONS OF THE LEGIONS OF THE DAMNED SAGA IN THIS EXPANSION PACK :-
1)    Beggar's Banquet
2)    Deals and Devils
3)    Breaking of the Three
==============================================================================
BRIEF NOTES BEFORE WE GET STARTED
This is a very quick key to some of the terms I'll use in this FAQ :-
In areas where I am talking about troops in cities, any troops mentioned in
[squared brackets] are within the city proper (an obvious example would be
Ashkael, who would be shown as [Ashkael] as he is IN the city and, in his case,
cannot leave) - all troops NOT in squared brackets are just waiting in the
city (as in, healing there, etc.)
Map directions are as follows.  North on the map is up and right.  South is
down and left.  West is up and left, and East is down and right.
One other thing ... if when mentioning any troops I refer to them like this :-
Phantom Warrior (10) or 2 Dwarves (10/12), then the numbers in brackets refer
to their level/s of experience ... so BE WARNED !! ;)
Obviously the very nature of this game makes doing an FAQ quite a tricky task,
as you can go anywhere, do anything (within reason) and your opponents will
pretty much respond to the way you play ... so this is an account of what I
would suggest and expect, pointers I have learned, things I would pick up -
basically anything and everything which I could think of which might help you
play as the Undead Hordes in their Saga ... I have tried to keep this FAQ
both light-hearted, and informative.
Similarly, with troops garrisoned in cities, whilst my FAQ is accurate as at
MY playing the game, these may change - ESPECIALLY in cities owned by other
players (as you are doubtless aware if you've ever played this game, your
computer opponents are FOREVER changing the troops that they garrison in their
cities).
Comments are always welcome - you can reach me at shadowpath@hotmail.com.
Thanks for reading this !!
==============================================================================
1)    Beggar's Banquet
BRIEFING AND COMMENTS
Even though they got well and truly HAMMERED during the Disciples 2 Campaign,
and Bethrezen had been imprisoned YET AGAIN, the Legions' PATIENCE would, it
was anticipated, pay off ... for what goes around comes around, and they had
confidence that in the fullness of time, Bethrezen would be reborn.
Bethrezen SCREAMED abuse at the Highfather and the other Factions of
Nevendaar at his renewed imprisonment until he was blue in the face, but
was ultimately forced to realise that there was nothing he could do to escape.
Therefore, he hatched a NEW plan ... if he couldn't bring Nevendaar into Hell,
why not send Hell into Nevendaar ?  Thus inspired, the Legions set about
putting Bethrezen's plan into motion.
Gallean had been reborn, and was infusing the forests with his life force, but
the confusion surrounding his rebirth had left the elves vulnerable to assault.
Seeing the Elven Lands as being plentiful sources of energy, the Legions
turned their attentions to reclaiming the Elven Cities of Amnaria, Elberonia
and Jindona to serve as energy stations for their future war efforts.
HOKAY - we're LIVE !!
Conversation begins by an Advisor (an Arch-Devil) popping up to say that
Bethrezen has ordered you to spread his will across the lands, and that it is
estimated that your power base may be DOUBLED by taking control of the lands
of the Elves, who must surely have been weakened after their recent struggles,
not in the LEAST with the Undead Hordes ...
A Baroness adds that the Elves (whom she calls "Forest Vermin", bless her),
also often retain riches and relics in their towns that could be used to
buy the allegiance of yet MORE mortals for your schemes.
The Advisor reiterates that you must move quickly, as the Elves are convinced
that Gallean has returned to them, and if they are allowed to gain strength,
the issue of dealing with them will become steadily more difficult to realise.
==============================================================================
NOTE : Your Capital City is just inside the north-western corner of the map.
==============================================================================
You start off this first level with a reasonable amount of GP and Infernal
Mana (the initial starting level decreasing depending on the difficulty you
have selected), and all your level one spells already learned.
You will have unfettered access to your ENTIRE spellbook during the three
missions that make up the Legions' Expansion Pack, and can build ALL your
buildings on EACH level.
==============================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE
UNIT LEVELS AND LEVELLING-UP
==============================================================================
You will see that there is a picture of a sword with a coloured blade above
your leader's portrait on the party screen.  This is a new addition to the
Disciples 2 Expansion Packs, and serves to give you a rough guideline as
to the approximate level of the units in an enemy's pack ... and your own ;)
A unit WITHOUT a sword               is   Level  1 -  4
A unit with a BLUE-bladed sword      is   Level  5 -  9
A unit with an ORANGE-bladed sword   is   Level 10 - 14
A unit witha RED-bladed sword        is   Level 15 or higher
I would HOPE for your sakes that you have imported a leader with a RED-bladed
sword, as your leader WILL NOT GAIN ANY EXPERIENCE during the ENTIRE campaign.
That's right !!  Your leader will NEVER level up again, so BE WARNED.
==============================================================================
Once you are ready, and note that I would strongly suggest constructing a
building so as to level up some of your units ASAP before going out of the
capital ?  Leave your capital city.
The three Elven Cities you are looking for, are located just to the south-
east of your Capital City ... but it will take you a little while before
you are strong enough to capture them, and I would also suggest you might
like to venture around the map a bit ... but obviously it's entirely up to
you !!
On the same little island as your Capital City are the Desecrated Ruins,
which will fall easily to your initial armies, and Lergem's Shop (a Merchants).
As you approach the unit of Empire Spearmen on the eastern shores of your
Island, he says "I have been sent by ..." to which your Advisor retorts
"Is that FILTH addressing US ??" (nice one !!), causing the Spearman to spill
his guts and tell you that he's been sent by Count Flamel Crowley, to tell
you that your presence here is UNACCEPTABLE, and that the power of HIS
Empire CANNOT be overthrown.
Erm ... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight ... CHEERS for that mate ... now ... DIE !!
Although the Advisor QUITE RIGHTLY tells the Spearman he's got a DAMNED cheek
to come all this way and deliver such a RUDE message, the Baroness says that
she would like to meet with Crowley, as the Spearman delivering the message
sounds as if he is possessed ... Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Before you can strike at him, the Spearman retreats back to the nearby city
of Arphos.  FYI that unit comprised a Level 10 Spearman and a Level 2
Marksman.
In the very north-western corner of the map lies Crowleyborough - a Level 5
City surrounded by mountains, the only way in being guarded by a unit
comprising :-  Defender of the Faith (1), Acolyte (1), Archer (1).
Once Crowleyborough has been converted to your cause, your Advisor confirms
that there are scolls therein that suggest that the humans have plans to
overthrow the Empire, and that their leaders are nothing more than religious
fanatics, inquisitors and the like ...
He smirks "Who starts an Inquisition without inviting the demons ?"
I LIKE this guy !! ;)
Inside Crowleyborough is a Weakness Scroll, and a Damage Ward Scroll.
If you approach the Imperial Assassin to the east of Crowleyborough (and
whilst I'm at it ... HOW ARROGANT ??  "Yes !  WELCOME to DAVESVILLE"), he
will speak to you, saying "Whilst I hate your guys ?  And I'm sure you hate
mine ?  I believe we BOTH hate the Elves yeeeeeeeees ??  Nooooooooo ??
Your Advisor turns around and gives him a RIGHT verbal, basically saying "LOOK
you PERVERT ... I'm SICK and tired of you people scrutinising our every move.
If you don't BUGGER off I'm calling the cops."
His unit, should you choose to rid yourself of it (which I believe you most
likely will) comprises :- Imperial Assassin (1), Imperial Knight (3), Spearman
(1).
If you move south of Crowleyborough (i.e. down the map along the western
edge) then you will find the City of Konemus.  This is a neutral city,
inhabited by the Dwarves.  If you sack it, then a Dwarf King will pop up and
say that they weren't interested in fighting you until you just provoked them,
but that the Clans will NOT let your assault go unpunished.
Oooooooh !  I'm shaaaaking !!  BRING IT ON BIATCH !!!!!!!
Moving across to the east now, if you move on the Defender of Faith sitting
outside the City of Arphos, he says "Stop !  Who the HELL are you ??  Men,
to your posts !!", and he is then supported by a Hierophant who warns you
that the Highfather himself protects the City of Arphos, and you WILL be
punished ... you are then subjected to a Holy Wrath Spell.
Once Arphos has fallen, your Advisor pops up again to tell you that more
scrolls have been found that document the commencement of a Holy Inquisition
by Count Crawley's Faction of the Empire, with his primary targets being
those seeking the Throne for themselves ... in short, there would APPEAR to be
a Civil War taking place within the Empire !!
WOOHOO !!  R-E-S-U-L-T !!!!! :) :) :)
ALSO, your Advisor points out that the City's Vaults are REPLETE with gear
that the humans were using in their war-preparations.  There's a Tome of War
for dad, a Potion of Strength for little Johnny, a Potion of Striking for
Caitlin, a Royal Scepter and a Diamond for meeeeee !! Yey !!
The Empire Capital City is in the northwesternmost corner of the map, and just
above the physical Capital itself is a building called the Blacksmith's Forge.
If you take the Forge, your Advisor says there is nothing really of interest
there, and that it ASTOUNDS him how much time mortals squander on worthless
tasks such as smithing ...
Just to the south-west of the Empire Capital City is the Empire-owned City of
Calloway.  If you take it, your Advisor pops up to say that the Empire was
fortunate that this City is both close to their Capital, and easy to control,
and that it did not succumb to Crowley's Troops ... then he adds "All the
better for us, tonight we dine on mortal flesh."
Starting to like him ???  Me too !!!!! :)
South of the Empire's Capital City (on the next land mass down the eastern
edge of the map to be more precise), there is a walled-in City, and the
Gilden Monastery.  This Gilden Monastery IS worth taking, as you'll get a
GRAND in GP, PLUS a Talisman of Life for your troubles ... and if you DO take
it, the Advisor pops up to tell you that the Monks therein appeared to be
researching the Elven Lord of the Land, and the Elven Gods ... this worries
him, as he cannot decipher whether they were doing so for Count Crowley or
the Empire ... =./
The City of Crowleysburg is ENTIRELY unoccupied - a fact which is commented
on by your Advisor ... however, he ASTUTELY notes that an ambush may have
been laid for you, as even the Empire aren't THIS stupid usually ... he also
finds texts that show how Count Crowley rose against humans he had branded
as heretics as they were willing to aid the Elves - however it is not quite
clear whether the Elves have allied with the Empire or some faction thereof,
and our poor Advisor is a bit perplexed by it all ...
... there there ... have a sit down for a moment ...
... and a scone with a cup of tea ... there you go ... :)
The City of Crowleysburg contains an Imperial Crown ;)
As for your Advisor's assumption about the forthcoming ambush ??  He's quite
correct - the next turn two units from the Crowleysburg Garrison appear to
try and take back the City - they comprise :-
1)  Inquisitor (3), Squire (10), Imperial Assassin (3); and
2)  Paladin (4), Spearman (5), 2 Marksmen (2/2)
Since it cost you nothing to get the city, you might consider it worth
defending ... there are two resources nearby, plus a trainer, so it could be
a VERY good ground to hold I reckon ...
There is an Unholy Dagger inside the Watchtower just to the west of the city,
so if your leader is short on stabby weapons, this might be a good find for
you ;)
Ignoring the Elven Cities in the CENTRE of the map for a moment and moving
down to the south-easternmost corner, I can tell you that the Greenskin
Watchtower (to the south-east of the Undead Hordes Capital City) houses a
pair of Elven Boots and, if they are taken, your Advisor remarks that it is
VERY strange that the Elves would just let such an artifact simply slip out
of their grasp ... he also remarks that the Orcs in the area would seem ill-
equipped to battle the Elves ... =./
The nearby City of Delos houses an Orc King, so be careful ;)  Once Delos has
been taken, an Orc tells you that the Elves MADE them fight the Undead Hordes
and threatened to hurt them if they didn't ... He cannot understand why you
are attacking them, as you are not of the Undead, and he says he is in fear
of the reprisals of the Elves, who will surely be angry that they (the
Greenskins) have been unable to fend off your attacks.  Understandably, your
Advisor is LESS than impressed ... the Elves haven't even the decency to fight
their own battles - they have forced the Greenskins to do it for them !!
He is quite satisfied however, as you have driven the Greenskins away, meaning
that the Undead Hordes will be able to stage counterstrikes against the Elves
with greater ease.
Bwahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.
The Greenskins' City of Tero is located to the West of the Undead Hordes
Capital City, and serves kinda like a last bastion for the Greenskin Armies.
It is defended by two units - one an ogre, the other 2 orcs and 2 goblin
archers ... none are very tough ... and the City itself contains (per your
Advisor) the bones of the dead ... faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasands of 'em !!  It
seems quite clear a war took place here, but the reasons for it are not at all
clear.
The Dwarven Monastery is located to the west of the City of Tero (well ...
technically it's east, north-west, west *blush*), and if it is taken, your
Advisor confirms that it tells of Elven lands to the east of the Dwarven
Monastery, and has details of various Elven Religious Practices, but he cannot
work out why.
Once it has fallen, your Advisor comments that the Orc Camp to the west of
the Dwarven Monastery (south of Johan's Tower) was used to train Orcs - no
doubt in their campaign against the Elves.  His sentiments are echoed by a
Duke, who confirms that you have now cut off the reinforcements that the
Greenskins were sending, so they should pose NO further problem at all.
Once the City of Lunos in the south-westernmost corner of the map has fallen
to your might, your Advisor says that now that this, the ABSOLUTE last
stronghold of the Greenskins has fallen ?  They should be NO further trouble
to you AT all.
Can I get a whoop-whoop ?  *blush*
Right !!  :)
NOW that we've explored all around the edge of the map, let's polish off
those rather irksome Elves ...
Moving into the centre (which I chose to do from the WESTERN side) I visited
Yggar's Shop and then moved SOUTH to the City of Elberonia, which fell
suitably quickly to the might of my armies *giggle*.
Once it falls, an Elf Lord pops up to tell you that you will now face their
"Alliance", and that you will regret meddling in the affairs of Gallean's
Warrior-born.
... erm ...
................... taps him on the shoulder ...
.................................... doinks him in the eyes ...
Your Advisor, who DOES seem to be on top form today I must admit, tells him
that he'sa gonna diiiiiiiie ... and he says it fuuuuuuuuuuuuunny ... we
liiiiiiiiike him ... :)
Elberonia contains a Death Ward Scroll.
Moving along in a counter-clockwise motion I assaulted Amnaria next, and a
after it falls your Advisor reports that Bethrezen will be pleased with the
riches you have looted from it ... and he will !!  Amnaria contains an
Ancient Relic and an Imperial Crown ... GREAT for melting down and using to
partially fund your war effort .......... or just redecorate Bethrezen's
Prison ... =./ :)
Now that two of the three Elven Cities have fallen to our Legions, only one
remains ... but BEFORE you take it, you might like to attack the centrepiece
in this little island - the Elven Temple.  What better a way to show your
disdain for them than by pillaging their temple ???
Once THAT has been ransacked, I moved straight onto Jindona, where the Elf
Lord Jarous patiently awaits your arrival.  As a Level 15 Elf Lord, he does
quite a bit of damage (as you can see from his stats - below) :-
==============================================================================
HP  AR    IMM  WARD  ATT          % HIT  DAM  SRC  INIT REA TAR
Elf Lord
Jarous   425 0+30   -    Air  Lightning      89   110  Air   50  Any  6
==============================================================================
Once Lord Jarous and his PITIFUL band of Elves have fallen, your Advisor
pops up to confirm that the day is won !!  However, before you can start to
celebrate in TRUE Ewok style, your Baroness pops up to tell you that the
scrolls you have recovered from the City show that the Elves had already
secured a negotiator to finalise their alliance !!
This can only lead to one response from the Legions ... to find and slay
this Elven Negotiator.
CONGRATULATIONS !!  You have completed the First Level
