The World Tree

The World Tree is the fifth episode in the Heroes Chronicles. It was a free download offered to those who had bought at least two of the Chronicles titles.

Backstory

Tarnum is drawn to a distant region to save the World Tree, that which gives life to all living things, from the Necromancers. But a far more dangerous enemy waits for the Immortal Hero — an enemy he has no chance of defeating.

Strategy

In Senseless Destruction, there is a bug that allows enemy heroes to retrieve troops from some or all of the garrisons, particularly in the Underworld. As a result you will be attacked by extremely strong armies very early in the game. Attempting to break through part of the Underworld early may be the only viable strategy.
