Learn how to play as Heradan the Hermit or Redfang the Reaper in Captain Blood's Harvest of Horrors campaign. Includes unit strategies and objectives.

Heradan the Hermit

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin in the Vanesci Hamlet map. Your objective is to win when the enemy has no structures or followers. You lose when the hamlet has no peasants or homes.
  2. 2
    Your enemy starts with two Goblins and two Harpies, plus five Basal Golems compared to your three.
  3. 3
    Create another Basal Golem immediately. Position them near your Bloodforge to protect them until you have 10-12, or ideally 16, for mana generation.
  4. 4
    If attacked by a Zombie, lure it onto your Bloodforge and surround it. If attacked by a Goblin or Harpy, use at least four Basal Golems to attack; they will do 1 damage each. Unsummon (press 'R') units about to die to save mana and speed up the process.
  5. 5
    Build a Crypt on the empty foundation north of your starting position. Zombies are the recommended unit due to their resilience against Goblins and even footing with enemy Zombies.
  6. 6
    Once your mana network is established, produce Zombies and position them near the three bridges on the map to block enemy advancements.
  7. 7
    Transfer mana from your Basal Golems to your supply and continually produce more Zombies to replace losses.
Tips
  • Harpies can snatch units with a net and drop them into the Cauldron, providing the enemy with mana. Attack a Harpy with four Basal Golems; this will cause it to drop any unit it is carrying.
  • Never engage a Harpy carrying a unit while it is hovering over water, as it will instantly kill your unit and free up the Harpy's slot.
  • If you don't have enough Zombies to block all three bridges, place one Zombie on each bridge.

Redfang the Reaper

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin in the Kingdom of Nix map. Your objective is to win when the enemy has no structures or followers. You lose when the hamlet has no peasants or homes.
  2. 2
    You primarily use Barracks, Crypt, and Temple sites.
  3. 3
    You own the Cauldron, enabling unique units.

Note: Regardless of who you choose to play as, you never begin with any mystical sites. The primary sites listed for each character indicate what mystical sites the AI will use when you play as the opposite character.
