The Ice Army Caves (IAC) are caves containing a network of depots, several castles and platinum mines. Here you are able, with some ancient magic, to create artificial creatures, which can be used as workers or fighters.
Islena's lieutenants are trying to gain control over these castles and mines. If they succeed they will make an army of these creatures and overrun the defenses around Aston.
Your mission is to find out how to use the castles, the mines and the workers to raise an army at your own, and to defeat Islena's lieutenants.
You are not able to die in IAC. Its your workers/fighters that do all the work you just have to guide them.
Level experience or Military experience
After solving a mission you get to choose between getting level experience or military experience. My suggestion is to only do IAC to get military experience, especially on a main character, because this is one of the best placed to improove on that area.
Making workers
Make workers by shift+left clicking the lever at your castle. Each worker costs 300 platinum.
IAC maps
Each IAC mission explained in details. What I did and what I raised.
/mission to get a list of the caves, and the missions currently available. You should always take the one on top, and always do every mission 3 times.
/enter <number> to start any of the missions listed. The missions can be occupied, which means that you will be queued and have to wait until its your turn.
/info Youll be able to get some information about your understanding og the castles magic
/raise <number> You can choose to research one of the topics listed with /info. Raise each time after you finished a mission to be even better at the next mission.
commands inside a IAC
/surrender to end the mission you are on before you are done.
/list to see a list of your how much platinum you have in each castle or depot.
/eguard <depotnumber> to put a Eguard at the depot you selected. You have to stand close and facing to the depot to make this work. Using these Eguards if mostly for the last IACs, and beware of not using too many since you have maximum total on Eguards. Number of Eguards increase as you solve missions.
/jp <depot or castle number> jump to a location. Use list or shift+right-click on depot/castle to get the numbers.
/take takes control of a depot.
transfer to get a worker to transfer platinum from either a castle or a depot. You have to stand close to the depot/castle you want to transfer from and you must face in the direction you want the worker to transfer.
mine to get a worker to mine platinum from a mine. You have to face the mine and stand close to it to make this work.
guard to get a worker to guard a depot/castle
fight to order the workers to fight enemy creatures. This works on the workers close enough to hear you. Once you engage in a fight near their castle all of their workers will come and fight you.
follow to get the workers to follow you. This works on the workers close enough to hear you.
train to get the workers to train. Makes them increase in levels, thus getting stronger. You have to stand inside the castle area and it only works on the workers close enough to hear you.
Bonus info. You are able to use the commands for the workers on a specific worker. example: 386 transfer (386 being the number of the worker) which makes only worker 386 to respond.
Make aliases of the different commands you use in the IAC, which will make everyting much more efficient.
When enemy worker comes to scout where you are, kill it before it runs away again. Makes you fight one less in the big battle at the end.
