A Dissolute Audacity M9 | Haven Heroes VII Guide

The map above shows the first mission of Haven campaign, during which you will learn the story of prince Tomas. It's one of the most interesting and most interactive maps available in Might & Magic Heroes VII. This mission is perfect for beginning players who want to learn about the game mechanics. Remember about adding all creatures you encounter to your army. You don't need to hurry too much, you will have plenty of time for completing most of the quests. During the game you will face only one opponent who, except for increasing the amount of units in his city, will not develop.

Falcon Road - main quest

The quest will be active since the start of the mission. Your objective is simple - you must clear the road ahead of you. To do it, recruit new units, defeat the enemies and gather resources. Keep going ahead of you.

The first problem you will face will be a broken bridge (M9,2) which will make it impossible to go any further. In order to fix it you will need 500 pieces of gold, 4 ore and 8 wood. All resources should be available in the village. You can also take some time now to complete the Justice for All side quest.

Adding new units to your army is the key to victory in the beginning phase of the mission.

Quickly after you will pass the bridge, you will be attacked by enemy Haven hero. He has an army of 5 Griffins, 15 Legionnaires and 10 Marksmen. If you will play the battle wisely, keeping your ranged units at the back and decline on charging on enemy, you shouldn't have any trouble winning. After the battle, Tomas will walk to the observation tower and uncover the whole valley.

Your next objective is to conquer the enemy city - Warhagen (M9,3). You should hurry because the defense of the city improves with each turn. If you will waste too much time, you won't be able to win the battle nor replenish your troops. Once you win, a hero will arrive at midnight and he will declare war with you in the name of his kingdom. Important! Sometimes the game doesn't want to move to the next part of the quest after conquering the city. The solution is saving and reloading the game.

After the conversation, you will have 18 days to prepare proper defense. First focus on claiming mines and building constructions that will allow you to recruit units. You can also complete the Starsilver Lining and The Wolf King side quests. Remember about being in the city once 18 days pass, this will give you bigger chances for victory. Keep recruiting new units and buildings until the battle starts.

When the enemy hero attacks your city, remember to not leave the walls and to eliminate enemy shooters in first order.

From the appearing of the enemy hero to the attack on your city around 4 turns will pass. You can use that time to further strengthen your defenses. Enemy army consists of 20 Imperial Griffins, 20 Cuirassiers, 80 Legionnaires and 70 Marksmen. Remember to avoid walking behind your walls and first focus on killing the Marksmen. If you use that strategy, the duel should be easy to win. As reward for completing the quest you will receive +1 to Luck/Destiny and Guardian's Spaulders.

Justice for All - side quest

The quest will start when you will enter the small village near the broken bridge (M9,2). Your objective is to find and defeat a group of bandits. The group is located on a small hill southeast from the village. You will have 30 Gnolls and 10 Brutes to defeat. If you have recruited all the units on your way, the opponents shouldn't be troublesome in defeating. You will receive +2 to Morale as reward for completing the quest.

Starsilver Lining - side quest

The quest will start after you conquer the Warhagen city (M9,3). Your objective is to claim the starsilver mine on the south (M9,4). In order to get there you must walk through the underground. Go to the passage number 1 located south from the city. Through the bottom walk to the passage number 2 and, after reaching the surface, claim the mine which is not protected by anyone. For completing the quest you will receive 5 pieces of starsilver.

The Wolf King - side quest

The quest will activate more or less during the 7-10 day of waiting for enemy attack in the Falcon Road quest. Your objective is to find and defeat the Wolf King. You will find him south from the city (M9,5). It is also possible that he will appear in a different place on the map. When traveling through the world map, look for a black wolf and avoid fighting the brown ones. The army of the King consists of 10 Silverbacks and 30 Dire Wolves. For winning the duel you will receive 10 Silverbacks whom will join your army.
