Have you had many more attempts at this or are you still building up the team? I tried another road once and only two generals were still alive after the second battle I noticed that success is largely depends on what enemies do we have in this or that battle. Some of them are really tough, for example, Petain, who was able to withstand all attacks by Attilla and Hanibal (and they both have insane bonuses against infantry!), while archers and Artillery simply destroyed my team from a distance. I'm going to have a few feeler tries this weekend: now that I have Aegis and Odin Armour I'm almost out of excuses to put it off for much longer

Just 8, and 5 of them are blue However, we must start somewhere and I need to have a few concerted efforts with kit-swapping to get a feel for it and come up with a plan to conquer the beast... Actually it's only 7, Bismarck is at 5*

Greek Trial III is another battle that induced trauma and bad memories. I'm stuck between buying the remaining two Titan items, 3 remaining Odin items, upgrading gens (maybe Alexander, Hotzendorf and Jhansi to 6*) and investing in new gens (maybe Caesar, Nelson, Blücher and Admiral Yi).

Bad news is that none of those options will guarantee success with a hundred percent certainty...

I just got past the first 2 battles almost completely unscathed using only Khalid, Robin & Bismarck. The first one was the same as this and the second had two towers with a wall in front of the top tower, and no generals. The third battle with Joan & Bismarck is proving tougher but I doubt that an easier start than this exists.

The third battle with Joan & Bismarck is proving tougher but I doubt that an easier start than this exists. Tried a few things on the third one and I wasted Conrad, Kemal, Joan & Jhansi (all at their original levels) to kill one infantry and damage the other. In the end it cost me Cathy, Barbarossa & most of Lincoln to progress but Robin is still at full strength and Bismarck at ~80% too. That means of my top 8 I still have 5 at full strength and 2 carrying some damage with only the last 2 battles to go. Assuming the last 2 on the top route are always the same then that seems about as good as can be hoped for at this stage, although it might be possible to sacrifice someone else instead of Barb - I'm thinking a full strength Conrad or Joan. My next question is, what are the chances of that sequence of first three battles? Of course there's still also the small matter of getting past the 4th with my top 2 archers & arty intact (at least!) and figure out how to beat Zeus's level, but how hard can it be?

Atila is better then Tamujin but because Tamujin has bad active skill i gave him bottle of life and he is tanker and healer and with that combo i almost finished the game perfectly. For Zeus i used next strategy: part 1, storm Zeus guards with cavlary and infantry generals first, you Will lose but Zeus Will remain alone. Part 2,swap items to archers and arty generals from dead generals and finish Zeus. I think i used the second route from the top.

I've been having similar thoughts on the battle with Zeus, but first I have to figure out how to get there with enough first-team generals still intact...

Of course there's still also the small matter of getting past the 4th with my top 2 archers & arty intact (at least!) and figure out how to beat Zeus's level, but how hard can it be? So I made it to the final battle with my top 2 archers & arty at full strength or thereabouts and 2 cav at ~25%. I used Pachy, Wolfe & Mocte to soften up the front line of the 4th battle, then my top guys with Alex in the centre as cannon fodder to finish off, but it was costly for the cav team. In the final battle I used a full cav team first but they didn't last too long, then the 4 range gens + Yoshi & Belisarius to fill the last 2 slots and only Zeus & a weak Caesar were left standing in the end. I think it could be doable IF I can fight this same sequence of battles again, but I don't yet know what the chances of that are...
