Game go impossible after migrating from first island!

[Ahmadi]

Hi
After playing about 1 hour.
And after that my hero is in level 4, when i go to another island(wild scarlet) all of enemies are very very stronger than me !! for example i have 7 snakes and my enemy have 302 snakes!!!
I think its a bug in KB:AP. Its just about ~1 hour that im playing the game.
After installing patch 1.2, also no change happens.
How can i continue the game!?!? my leadership in end of game allow me that i control 302 snakes! not in first of game.
Notes :
1.Im not newbie in kings bounty, i finished the previus version of the game successfuly and i fully know rules of the game.
2.Caption of enemies in all of islands is "Impossible!!!".
3.For continuing the game i must go to another island and all of quest in first island has been finished!

Thank you for any help.

Well, actually it is not a bug. If you are referring to the groups of enemies that are protecting the maps, they are supposed to be much, much harder to kill and may give you bonkers until you find a way to defeat them - especially if you're trying to do it without losses, like myself (at least till I get 50 no-loss battles).

What I can propose is to clear out everything else on the island but the map defenders, go to the next island (Bolo) and try to kill something there, gain a few levels, probably re-make the army and try again.

If you're playing a mage on impossible, you should also be aware that she has the hardest and the most challenging start of the game.

EDIT: I have discovered that especially on impossible, having extra leadership is extremely important in the beginning. When making the game, try to get a few + leadership items at start. There is also a chance you will get a simple +100 leadership belt in the training battles. I consider it a good start of the game if I find the marshal's batton on of the first island and the +100 leadership belt in the training battles, because I know that I can afford it (8000 gold) with any char after I've cleared out most of the island.

On lower difficulties, you can do with pretty much everything, but impossible provides a bigger challenge and one must adequately prepare for it.

Thank you for your notes.
Im playing game with Mage hero and in hard difficulty.
However enemy strong growing is not linear and jumped from 17 snakes to 302 snakes!

If you are playing mage, then you're going to need to do some "sneaking" around first. At least until your intellect is higher and your spells can make up for your low leadership.

After you get to the Scarlet island do what you can there, dodge the enemy patrols and pick up all the leadership flags. Also visit the small shop on the right of the castle. The quest from there will give you a map to find 2 chests. You can get these without fighting if you're fast.

Then go to Bolo island. If you sail west to the smaller port, quicksave and time your run well, you can run in and grab the map for the Anchor island. Once you have it, travel to the Anchor and you can complete the chest quest to the right of where you first arrive for a good EXP boost. You can also see the pirate on the beach to the left of the start area and do his quest to find the bottles. You will get a big EXP boost and a random artifact. There are also some flags here you can grab if you dodge the patrols.

Then you should have enough leadership and runes to do most of the battles on Scarlet and Bolo and you should be ok after that.

I think Ahmadi is also going for a good result, this is why he's doing island after island. His entire post suggests that. As such, traveling back and forth will seriously harm the score.

To save yourself from the multiple travels, you can try to force the Gromozeka hero on the bolo island away from the chest he's guarding. Since this is a quest monster, it will follow you. Have him go far from the chest then dash to take it. Inside is the Amulet that is required to obtain to get the second Stone of Gods. With each stone, the units in Debir (King Friedrich's island) will grow better and better. At least that can save you some mindless travels from island to island.

I'm saying this for a fact, because Im doing an impossible game with a Paladin, testing how quickly I can get lvl 3 learning (together with the +XP items, thus checking out how quickly I can level up) and lvl 3 Resurrection skill and use scapegoats. In my game so far I have really awful army setup on the Debir (few inquisitors), Scarlet Wind (no knights, no paladins, only 4 archmagi) and Bolo islands (2 measly Royal griffins and Cyclopses), and nothing better on the Rusty Anchor island. This can make your game very, very hard. Probably Ahmadi is having the same problem.

Still, once should never give up, there is always a way out!

Really? Tell me that supossed way out when u are running out of money and all the enemies are very strong+???

U need to travel from island to island for gaining exp and leveling. U can avoid that on the 1 first island, but when u gain access to scarlet, u need to go from island to island.

For the stones quest, u can access the second one easily, but im level 16 and i cant even try to fight for the third stone. I dont have too much gold, and all the enemies around are very strong-lethal-invincible. I cleared debir, scarlet, bola, rucher ankor (or something like that lol). Only have left dusuf island and verona. And cant do anything on em. So i ask u people, how to gain gold without fighting?? (and dont tell me to sell, cuz i sold everything lol and all the quests are fighting ones) . And i have Paladins-Evil Beholders-Inquisitors-Griffins-Guardsman. I think is not a bad army, needed to change royal snakes for griffins and sea dogs for paladins but i think it was a really good army (i did 2 of the loseless victories awards till i get into Verona but) Yup, i think its impossible, so the game ends once i run out of gold. Thats a shame.

sneak& pick the maps, go to other island and pick up more powerful creatures, buy more powerful items.

I am playing as a warrior,difficulty hard.well, i have the same problem but u can complete some quests by dodging the enemy.for e.g in the quest wherein u have to get the amulet for getting the first stone of teana,from the bolo catacombs,i fooled the r-14 droid guarding the chest

Well N3mes1s, sorry for that but that's how this game goes now. KBAP doesn't like squandering cash Looking at you army setup it doesn't have a distinguishable tank, nor a unit to support it. You also don't have scapegoat units save for the sky guards from the Royal Griffins.

The next playthrough, try making a balanced party with a strong tank and good support. Paladins will do, and they're best paired up with Archmagi for magic shield to reduce the damage they take. Even if you don't have target (I found it late in most of my playthroughs), you can always port the paladins right into the centre of the battlefield or into the enemy ranks and do the tanking that way.
