Pyro Mission 4 Mission Title: Orgren, a series of small villages, famous for the quality of their granite Objective 1:Capture 20 slaves Objective 2: Faestus must survive Objective 3 (optional): Deliver message to Sorcha Mission Attributes: +2 to Pyro, -2 to James, -1 to Persephone, -1 to Charnel, -1 to Stratos New Units: Pyromaniac New Spells: Dragonfire Since the negotiations with James were a bust, Pyro decides to go on the offensive and steal "souls" from James to use on Pyro's superweapon, the pyrodraulic dynamo. Charlotte, an enemy wizard, is in the area, however; it's advisable that you deal with her before attempting to capture the farmer slaves. The location of slaves can be seen on the minimap - just follow the flashing arrows. But don't move away from your altar and go after those slaves just yet. Explore the area around your altar to locate several mana fountains; construct manaliths at each as well as any desired manahoars. To threaten the farmers into moving to your altar, simply approach them. Both the new unit and new spell in this mission are quite powerful. The pyromaniac is an extremely effective ranged unit that complements Pyro's melee units (or any other god's ground force) perfectly. Dragonfire invokes the power of a dragon-shaped flame, which soars and attacks the selected unit - an important tool against Charlotte's long-range, boulder-hurling units. Stick close to your altar and even consider a few guardians. When you spot enemy units on the minimap, approach and goad them into attacking. Retreat to your altar or guardianed manalith and repel Charlotte's attack. Collect the dead souls and cast the convert spell. Reinforce your army with additional ground, air, and pyromaniac units. Repeat the process - let Charlotte attack, convert her dead souls, and produce units - until you have a full preset of units. Explore and locate Charlotte's manaliths. Defeat any guardians and then the structure itself - replace the manaliths with your own (or shrines). Should you encounter farmers, ignore them for now and keep searching for Charlotte's manaliths and, eventually, her altar. When you locate her altar, take out the manaliths (replace them) and then move against her altar. Select a pyromanic or high-level melee unit and cast the desecrate spell. Concentrate all firepower on Charlotte to banish her from the realm. Now search for the farmers to capture as slaves. Use the minimap and follow the flashing arrows. When you locate the farmers, approach them, and your wizard will threaten them. The scared farmers will move to your altar and become slaves to Pyro. Should a group of farmers oppose you, simply kill one to get their attention. Search the area beyond the farmers located east of your altar to spot Sorcha at a dead end on a high cliff. Approach Sorcha to deliver Pyro's message. Pyro talks Sorcha into continuing their alliance. The mission ends once 20 farmers have been captured as slaves. Locate and approach Sorcha and receive a bonus reward from Pyro.   « Previous Page Pyro Missions (cont.) »
