Once you have completed mission 1, you will get a new mission, which is quite simple: attack the Mechanics' Base and capture the plans. The enemies in this mission are more difficult and numerous, so you should try training first. Talk to the shadowling with a bone mask, and he will train you. Also, you can aquire a new member for your team: Niven. He is a knifethrower, and is quite a useful unit. Once you think you've trained enough, you can talk to Tastidian and click on the Lowlands on the map. Below are some ways to beat the battles in the Mechanics' Base.
