The beginning of the end of the human race.

Conditions of victory:

1. Vanquish the Commonwealth

a) Slay Leonus

b) Slay Grimdotter

c) Slay Baradir

d) Slay Yzzo

2. Lead the Elven Court to victory

a) Protect Saridas

b) Protect Julia

The final mission in this campaign. The offshoot of your choice in mission four (Destroy the Humans) and completing the Wild Magic mission. Your main objective is to defeat Commonwealth and prevent your allies - Saridas and Julia from losing. Gather the necessary forces and split them into two armies - one of them order to the North and the other to the South.

Slay Yzzo

Time to avenge brothers death. - Fury of the Ancients - walkthrough - The Elven Court Campaign - Age of Wonders III - Game Guide and Walkthrough
Time to avenge brother's death.

From the very beginning, one of your armies should go South-East. Along your way, you will find several cities that belong to Yzzo, and which you can capture. However, this will, most probably, weaken your units and postpone the final attack on the Throne City, which is located in the center of the map. Defeat Yzzo and capture his Throne City, to eliminate him from fight. In the meantime, you should also be moving your armies to the North of the map and in the center, to capture Leonus's cities.

Slay Baradir

Baradir is a tough nut. - Fury of the Ancients - walkthrough - The Elven Court Campaign - Age of Wonders III - Game Guide and Walkthrough
Baradir is a tough nut.

Baradir's cities are to the North and his Throne City is in the center of the map. The opponents has lots of very good units so, if possible, do not waste your own ones over attacking them, in the case of a balanced battle, because losing numerous units may put off the final victory. The best thing to do is go to the opponent's Throne City straight away and capture it. If, by a coincidence, Baradir will be there, the thing will be over. Otherwise, it is enough to defeat him in the ensuing battle and his whole army will cease to exist.

Slay Leonus

The die will be cast... in a moment. - Fury of the Ancients - walkthrough - The Elven Court Campaign - Age of Wonders III - Game Guide and Walkthrough
The die will be cast... in a moment.

At first, capturing Leonus's cities will not be too much of a problem, which is why it is best to capture them. After Rubicon is crossed (the water fields, more or less, in the center of the map) you will receive a message that Leonus will present his machines in the incoming battles. And indeed - because of these machines, capturing cities will be much more difficult and more time-consuming. If there is opportunity to strike at his Throne City straight away, ignore the rest of the cities. Otherwise, prepare for the tough siege. Leonus's Throne City is in the North-Eastern corner of the map. Before you attack, it is a good idea to destroy the nearby Spelljammers, which make it impossible to cast spells in battle.

Slay Grimdotter

It is going to be tough. You need to wait for reinforcements. - Fury of the Ancients - walkthrough - The Elven Court Campaign - Age of Wonders III - Game Guide and Walkthrough
It is going to be tough. You need to wait for reinforcements.

The Throne City of the last opponent is near Leonus's Throne City. It is going to be heavily guarded so do not forget about a sufficiently strong army. A good idea is to attack the edges of the city, instead of its center "in installments". This way, more of your units, and less of the opponent's will participate the battle. After several takes, or one big battle, you will defeat him also, which will end the campaign. If Grimdotter is not in the Throne City look for her in the cities on the Southern edge of the map.

Hints

Activating teleporters will allow you to summon units into the battlefield quickly. - Fury of the Ancients - walkthrough - The Elven Court Campaign - Age of Wonders III - Game Guide and Walkthrough
Activating teleporters will allow you to summon units into the battlefield quickly.

1. At the beginning, you should be careful with developing your cities, because you are not going to have too much gold, and it is a stupid idea to lower morale of the army, or even lose some of it.

2. Remember that your allies, Saridas and Julia, cannot die. Most probably, if you are constantly progressing into the center of the map, they will not be threatened by that but, be careful if any units approach their cities.

3. Gather all of your armies, at first, and go East. Your cities will not be threatened from any side, apart from the East, where you will be going anyways.

4. Leonus's cities will be weakly guarded, at first, which is why you should be capturing one after another without major problems. It is not worth to leave them here in the opponent's hands, because this may cause trouble at your back, later on.

5. In the game, close to your initial cities, there are several teleporters. You can activate them by finding the other end and clearing the field, or by capturing the nearby city (this will be the solution suggested by Sundren in her speeches). This will allow you to summon reinforcements, later on in the game, from your initial cities.

6. Before you attack Leonus's Throne City destroy the nearby Spelljamers. you will then be able to cast spells in the battle.

7. The leaders that accompany you can die in this scenario, but it is better to "let" them live. They have lots of experience, which makes them very useful in battle. That is why it is better for you if they accompany you until the end.
