Valley of Serpents

Quest Background: Elves on the border of the newest settlements speak of skirmishes against foes from distant lands.Objective: destroy all snake pits while retaining at least one elven bungalow. After the initial days, the pace of this quest will drastically accelerate. If it's your first time playing, chances are that you might be taken by surprising by the monsters spawning rapidly after the initial quiet days. At the start of the quest, ugrade to level 2 palace and place a temple to Dauros. From then on, there will be quite a few approaches to defending the initial wave of attacks which will target the bungalow on the far corner of the map. One approach is to build defensive structures on the far corner. This is challenging because your peasants will have to walk through a treacherous stretch of land to get there and it take a while to get a warriors guild or a few guardhouses up. The other and easier approach is to build up on your original base and use the gate spell from your sorceror's adobe once the bungalow comes under attack. After the initial wave, there will be more and more creatures coming your way. Build up your economy by building inns, a blacksmith, marketplace, and later on, a magic bazaar and upgraded rogues guild, while training more and more paladins. Position your warriors guild (and later, more Lunord temples) on the outer boundary of the town, since medusa, gorgons and dragons be coming from all directions. You begin with 20,000 gold, which is a hefty amount to get defenses going. 6-8 Paladins and 4 Adepts should be a formidable initial defensive force. You'll constantly be receiving reinforcements, some of which are quite powerful and interesting heroes, including Gnomes and Dwarves with spell casting abilities. Reach level 3 on your Agrela temple to have the resurrection spell to revive fallen heroes. You'll also start receiving extra bungalows while unfortunately, the enemy will start spawning ice dragons which can quickly fly over to attack them. Therefore, it's important to place guardhouses, with the arrows upgrade, around the bungalows to distract the dragons from attacking them. Large battles with take place, but if your economy is strong enough, you should be able hold off all the waves to allow your heroes to destroy the snake pits.
