1600 dragons are blocking the path to the tree and the entrance to the dungeon leading to Turgal. According to the quest, I was supposed to raid the dragons' utopia, but Baal was hot on my heels, so I had to fight my way through. Now they won't let me get the Dragon Greaves:(
By the way, do an experiment with the special hero Carlam: in the map editor, give him level 25-30, abilities - Empathy, Light with Righteous Wrath, give his army miniatures with initiative, put a legion of zombies as cannon fodder, and give a ballista - as a benchmark for initiative of 10 units. How many times will Carlam move using Empathy with his boosted army between two shots from the ballista? I don't know how to fight in the editor, and it's a pain to catch everything needed for this experiment with the mentor. By the way, I put the golems in one of the captured mines - they don't provide Inspiration and they don't get Inspired themselves.
Yes, I completely forgot about those dragons. Here's a small alternative for cases like yours.
Regarding the special hero: I tested him at levels 20-25 + ran the first 2 locations + in the final battle. It seemed adequate (especially in terms of Inspiration). The problem with Empathy is understandable (it was the same in Echoes of the Void, where a similar mechanic was used for the special hero Alaric, and there was also an additional special ability for % speed increase), but I still think it's not critical. I just watched a stream, and noticed that the regeneration also triggers twice. Overall, a reduction seems necessary. For now, I've taken 15% + 1% per level as a basis, I'll test it more thoroughly this weekend and decide.
The situation with the golems is this: they don't get Inspired even with Machine Loyalty, so the ability to buff them has been removed. Carlam's guys reciprocate the reciprocity:)
