Age of Wonders, The Skull map of the Cult of Storms campaigns.
There are two prisons, both guarded by a Syron.
These guys are tough! Only way to defeat them is with a team of Eight Good Men, or come up with a cunning plan. As far as I can see there's only a few units that can easily defeat a Syron, and that must be a flying unit with a ranged attack, either Fire Breath or a missile attack.
Now if there only was a Tier 4 Orc or Human city on the map, but how likely is that?
And then just south of the second prison I see this:
How convenient...
AFAIK a Human Air Galley is considered a Unit as opposed to a Machine, and will thus suffer morale penalty if serving an Undead master, so I will spend three turns extra to build a Red Dragon instead.
Alas, before I could unleash the dragon and free the prisoners (which I strongly suspect will be at least one Hero in each prison, since no heroes offered to join and there is a crap load of items to be found), the game was over.
This is a general problem with most of the campaign. In only one map so far did I build and use level four units.
But then my playing style in turn base games is to finish the missions in as little in game time as possible, to make things more interesting and challenging.
