Well i played some games with Rychen on it, and thats my experiences:
- dont rush the map too early, the chance is tremendous high you will run into a stack you cant beat (did i mention i saw a throng of Ghost Drags on it? ).
If your area has money, banks, dwellings or arts in it that are worth to be taken take your time and do this, much better to go out with a strong force that is prepared to fight a bunch of high L7 tossers.
- Not only slow is important in this, Blind is a spell that helps a ton - imo Inferno rocks on Extreme, coz Devils can take out stuff other L7 cant and their guild 2 has blind in 50% of the cases.
Add your demon resurrecting pits to it, you wont run outa food too fast.
- use a might hero at ALL cost, man a magic hero is so lost in those battles...
Tactics, Armorer and offense (archery optional) can be more important early on this than even logs.
- dont follow the roads in the beginning with your main if you see better stuff outside, big stacks usually block you and there is no fast way of getting to your 2nd town often.
So send a scout down the road first, the most important thing for your main is stat locations (god knows you will need them).
- Dont skip money buildings as i do often on easier maps, upgraded Level 7s are a must specially if you have a high speed town. Also the game takes long, you will need your gold.
- you have dwarf dwellings outside or food like that? get em, you will need a LOTS of food to succeed without major losses.
Ok thats it, still i cant think of a way to beat a throng of ghost drags with thunderbirds being my fastest unit before month 3 - but oh well

Have to agree with just about anything Andi said; sounds like a good general tactic for that tempate.

well i only played the map 3 times. but i think its basicly as all randoms only that maybe on this templete u have some hard fights week 3 too and not only the first week. i played tower the other day and as per usuall i dident build to well no genies nore giants but as per usuall the map offers nice troop banks and after 5 week we gave it up cause it tended to be somewhat booring picking up yr 14th relic and 21st box ...
alltho the other games i played on it when i dident enter the dessert areas was kinda fun hence the tough fights..

Modifying EXTREME template
I've made the changes to Blockbuster that i needed, now to update EXTREME...
Any game killers u can think of that can be modified....?
I know of at least one, if either 3rd or 4th zone is same town type, it will invariably have multiple lvl 6 and 7 dwellings, tag them and the next week u r loaded with an unbeatable army pretty much. I could change it so all zones r necro perhaps?

Yeah sounds good to me!@
ALthough i one game I had on Etreme I had stronghold me thinkx and also necro towns with few bone drag dwellings...hehe an extra 30 or more ghost drags really helped. Especially if u have morale arties/skill.
But overall that would be a good option yeah.

Strategies for EXTREME II
May as well continue with this strategy thread. Most of the same tactics apply to EXTREME II... but are there any differences... The new template will be posted this week.
I'll start with the first strategy unique to EXTREME II...
dont give up if u dont get any good dwellings, look around for those massively guarded pandoras boxes...

dont lose hearts if you dont get a decent might hero in week1 or week2 for main.
in week1/2 make whoever gets earth magic first your main even if it is an eagle eye hero. You surely will have at least a couple of boxes around. Kill their guards with this earth-magic main, and open them boxes with the might hero you desire. 2 days ago I have shifted from a useless main to Sorsha on week5 - or 4? not sure. (Hexa U reading this? ) I am sure you basterds will be lucky get a real good hero such as hack and alikes. Those boxes give about 40-50k xp in total.
Plus, you surely gonna find some useless relics such as captains hat or water boots. In this new version extreme it is very likely that you will come across an altar. They too make good xp in the altar. (really? )
