30 Lizards or 75 Gnolls...iīd prolly take the gnolls, as they are much better hitters vs. the important locations like Crypts week 1.
+ Gnoll Huts on the map are more common, and they are for free while paying for lizards is not that cool if the map isnīt rich.



Can't see a problem with the crypts with 30 lizards, the gnolls don't shine there much. Try with hives - there you're 100% better with the gnolls. Also - how do you find them Treasuries with gnolls - any less important than crypts?

edit:

After being schooled by Fank0_ i must point some facts:

1. Wystan may come with only 4 lizards
2. not only Korbac, but Dragon too, will bring no lizards.

So on SoD you could have 20 lizards, which would not be better than the 75+ gnolls

after all - Dragon is better than Wystan

About the crypts, on swamp gnolls have speed 6 with Drakon.
So you can move first with them vs. 10 Vampires, while Lizards may get into more trouble because they can either shoot or move.

What would YOU do next?


IF I would be in that situation (I wouldn't ), I'd probably take chances, and build a level 3 Mage Guild. Fortress seems to have a good chance to get the Anti Magic spell (just an impression, didn't do any research on this). Anti Magic + Armageddon + a couple of flies will do the job. Remember, Andra needs to learn earth magic.

If Andra got Fire, use berserk.

If Andra didn't get Earth or Fire, hire a new one

Similar maps

A little off-topic, but does anyone have any good map recommendations that are similar to Caught in the Middle (H3)? I've always thought there's something really great about the balance, strategic difficulty, and concept of this map and wonder if I'm the only one or if anyone's felt that repeated elsewhere.

I too am a fan of such maps (not too easy like a random template, but not as tough as the pro maps like 'unleashing the bloodthirsty'

A map I can recommend is Pestilence lake (decent difficulty for a 3do map) Or perhaps  Marshland Menace?

Or else you might try this map (horn of the abyss which is an easy to add fanmade expansion which i really can recommend)

Hope you like one of those, I found them fairly a challenge
