The '''medusa stores''' is an [[Adventure Map|adventure map]] location, and commonly known as one of the [[Creature Bank|creature banks]]. It is guarded by 20–50 [[Medusa and Medusa Queen|medusas]]. The more guards there are, the better the reward. The treasure contains 2000–5000 {{G}} and 5–10 {{S}}. | The '''medusa stores''' is an [[Adventure Map|adventure map]] location, and commonly known as one of the [[Creature Bank|creature banks]].

[[File: Grid-cb 3.gif|x200px|left]] The guards are divided into five stacks of 4/6/8/10 [[Medusas]] (red hexes). 50% probability of getting a stack of [[Medusa Queen]]s in the lower left corner (C hexes). | [[File: Grid-cb 3.gif|x200px|left]] The guards are divided into five stacks of 4/6/8/10 [[Medusas]] (red hexes). 50% probability of getting a stack of [[Medusa Queen]]s in the lower left corner (C hexes).

The hero's troops are located in blue hexes 1-7 (a tail hex for two-hexed creatures) according to stack positioning in the army slots 1-7. But if the hero has less than 7 stacks, e.g. 3, they will be placed in hexes 1-3 no matter how they were placed in the army slots. | |||
Though [[war machine]]s are not present on the battlefield, the infinite shots effect from [[Ammo Cart]] is active. | |||
Slain enemies do not respawn (should the hero retreat or be defeated). | |||

Your main disadvantage here is that [[Pikemen]] have only 4 speed, so you can’t use them as blockers. You can use any other unit that has 6 speed or more, like [[Gargoyles]], [[Harpies]], [[Griffins]] etc. Never try to block the Medusas and use your [[Marksmen]], since they will move towards them and attack in melee. This means there are mostly two feasible options with [[Castle]] to take the bank, and that is if you built [[Cavaliers]] or [[Angels]] week 1. | |||

[[Unicorns]] and [[Centaur|Centaurs]] are perfect, just be careful with the [[Elves]] in case the Medusas get morale. You will need to go for the stack that is closest to your Elves with your tank stacks, and than hope that none of the blocked Medusas will shoot at the Elves. | [[Unicorns]] and [[Centaur|Centaurs]] are perfect, just be careful with the [[Elves]] in case the Medusas get morale.

Stay away from the Medusa Stores, [[Wyverns]] are weak, [[Gnolls]] are slow, and often you will not have many other options. If the Stores are on swamp terrain and you have [[Gorgons]] then you can go for them. Upgrading your Gnolls might also be good - 6 speed and they also hit hard, you can hope to take 1 stack of Medusas out fast. | Stay away from the Medusa Stores, [[Wyverns]] are weak, [[Gnolls]] are slow, and often you will not have many other options.
