In the Halls of the Dead (Conqueror Exp Adventure Scenario)

Recommended Posts

Hi there, A rule Question to one of the new Conqueror Expansion scenarios. "In the Hall of the Dead" it is stated that the Sorcerer (Hero) Thotmekri  (Xaltotun) : "at the beginning of the game the Heart of Ahriman is placed on his Chest and he has partially returned to life. Thus, he is unaible to leave the area in which he begins... until Conan has perfomed a simple manipulation to remove the Heart. From thereon he can leave the area...

Now the Question is, is the Hero able to use Spells to attack units or is he inactive until Conan reaches him?

          From the Scenario I think it makes more sense that he is inactive until Conan reaches him (usually ~turn  2), also the Scenario felt very easy (it is 1 Crow...) and I think that if the sorcerer is able to kill units from the start, it is even easier for the heroes...

also using the demon of the earth instead of the snake makes it easier for the heroes because the demon only has movement 2 instead of 3 and I had trouble to keep up with the heroes... just my opinion, obviously!

Roolz is correct, Thotmekri /Xaltotun can activate, he just can't move. Demetrio, can describe the Hero and Overlord actions for turns 1 and 2 that enabled Conan to reach Thotmekri /Xaltotun so quickly?

Sure, I was very unlucky with my guard actions as OVerlord 🙂 Conan was lucky and hacked with circular strike through the ghouls and 2 Kitai Acolythes and used extra gems to reach the key.. 2nd round he picked it up, opened the door and went through. If we interpreted the map correctly there is a way to enter Xaltotuns area from the top of the stairs... I wanted to save gems and didn't activate the Demon of the earth in round 2 and then it was too late because the heroes were faster... I also forgot to use the falling rocks /webs the first time I reinfireced and therefore the heroes could mover through the map pretty quickly...as OVerlord you definitely have to focus on slowing and blocking them... I couldn't run it with the snake yet but I imagine it is better for the overlord since the snake is faster than the Demon of the Earth (3 vs 2 movement points).

Yeah, I was going to say that moving the demon/snake into Conan's path would slow him down. The debris would also help, but Conan has a lot of movement points to spare, so I would probably start with the snake. The cool thing about this scenario is playing it again and trying a different strategy. Or swapping sides.

I have the opposite issue with this scenario, heroes can't do anything against waves of reinforcements and rocks, Overlord targets Conan all the time and he crumbles under the pressure. We've attempted this scenario 4 times, all end in a devastating loss for the heroes.

Yes, I think my mistake was to play with the Demon of the Earth instead of the Snake...it is slower than the snake and I had trouble catching up with the heroes

Lst time we played it Overlord won easily, so I think it is actully a much more difficult scenario then I first thought.
