Hi guys,
how do you pass the mission Myth 3: "Siege of Llancarfan" with the best survivor rate?
As soon as an Iron trow strolls into my courtyard, all hell breaks loose..

To deal with Iron Trow you can either

1. Lead them around with a lone heron, while archers/dorfs/locks kill it.

2. Fight the Trow 1v1 with a heron near the top of the steps, directly above the trow, the trow will miss you every time.

I think this is part of the reason m3 sucks. All levels with Trow require you to lead the AI around stupidly or take advantage of bugs etc, in order to win on Legendary

Yeah... thats a real weakness with the M3 solo. It's not so much a problem with how the engine was built as it was how the solo levels were scripted and executed.

The Trow will target your arches/duffs if the heron gets too far away tho, so keep him relatively close. The TIW is scripted to attack the closest "strongest" unit.

At some point, the solo would need to be re-done almost entirely to ensure a proper balance.

So.. the heron moves faster than the swordsmen?
