Gentlemen, I've been struggling with this mission for a week now, and I can't seem to complete it, not because of a lack of experience, but because of some glitches. I've already written about this, and while playing, I had a few suggestions for those who are just starting.
1. I didn't have Resurrection for Faidaen, and it's difficult to play without it. So, if you have the same problem, I advise you not to make your already difficult life even harder. The solution is to build a level 5 Mage Guild in Raele and get this spell.
2. During battles, especially with neutral creatures, leave one very weak enemy alive and resurrect your losses.
3. Don't accumulate troops for too long, as the enemy has a highly developed Logistics skill and many heroes, so they develop much faster than you. Then don't be surprised when you see more than 10,000 skeletons and Nicholas or Vlad.
4. Periodically save the game to avoid glitches like mine (when Nicholas had only one Castle left, he settled in it, and every day he gained 1000 gold, which is impossible to overcome).
5. Be smarter: let one of your heroes be skilled in Logistics, use him to collect useful items, and sometimes as bait when you see that your opponent is stronger than you.
6. In Raele, it's not worth building advanced structures, only simple ones, and then send troops to Nargorad, because Faidaen from the Dungeon summons them from certain areas, specifically the upper corner of the map, i.e., the northwest, from Nargorad. And then upgrade them there; you'll save money, and it will be very useful.
9. Regarding the Dungeon, it is divided in half by a river. On the left, there are 2 garrisons with artifacts, and on the right, there are also two. It's not difficult to find them. I'll remind you that artifacts are needed to get 5 Phoenixes (without them, you can only kill Nicholas if you eliminate all the dragons you see when entering the Mage Hut near Nargorad).
10. Although, to be honest, I killed Nicholas even with Phoenixes, but he still resurrected (although all the Phoenixes died; maybe that's why, since I didn't have Resurrection at that time).
11. When I played for the first time, Vlad met me in the Dungeon, and I ran away from him with a huge army. Nicholas also had 3,500 Imps at that time; I have no idea how they got to him. As soon as I started fighting, my mana disappeared immediately, and without magic, there's no way to win. I had to start over.
12. These Imps joined him in the Dungeon. If you have the same problem, you can start over.
13. The Tear of Asch appears in a different place each time. The first time, it was behind the southwestern Castle, near the Sawmill. Now it's somewhere else (I haven't opened the map yet), but it's definitely on Nicholas's territory, so life won't be easy for you. :p
14. Always resurrect as many Archers and High Druids as possible; this is what will ensure your success, as well as Ancient Ents; they are the ones who can withstand the enemy's attacks for a long time while you eliminate everyone with the help of the first ones.
Well, that's basically it. I hope my experience will be useful to you. GOOD LUCK. ;)
