Rescue the Prince

This mission is designed to teach you the mechanics of Wizards and their Sovereign Spells, though it is beatable without them.

Wizards sell Weapon and Armor Enchantments.

Wizards can learn new spells from the Library; build them close together.

Wizards have low HP and can be power-leveled through a Fairgrounds (requires Lv. 3 Palace).

Wizards Guilds and Towers have a limited range for their spells.

Wizards Towers can be connected to cast spells across the map, but must be within spell-casting range of each other.

Wizards Guilds and Wizards Towers build themselves, but require repair by Henchmen, Gnomes, or Dwarves.

To see spell-casting range, attempt to build a Wizard Tower or select a Sovereign Spell; the range appears on your minimap (a map showing your immediate surroundings).

Super Charge (requires Lv. 3 Wizards Guild) doubles the range of Wizard Spells.

The mission restricts building Rangers Camp, Elven Bungalow, Gnome Hovel, Dwarven Settlement, and various Temples.

Use the Farseeing spell (taught by the Library) to reveal the map, or recruit Rogues to scout using Explore Flags.

Hiring Wizards is not necessary for a quick clear.

Upgrading your Palace is optional for a quick clear.

Enemies include Giant Rat, Giant Spider, Hellbear, Medusa, Minotaur, Ratman, and Varg.

Recommended Heroes are Rogues, Warriors, and Wizards.
