Ranger – “Defense” [Campaign 5, Mission 3]

I don't know how it is in 1.1, but in 1.5, there should be about 10 dragons in the main castle's garrison. I even reloaded when the mission ended too early because of exceeding the number of dragons. Then I didn't allow this to happen again until I got the maximum out of the mission.

But for this person, the mission doesn't end. And the garrison is fine - she wrote that the checkbox is already checked. :smile21:
Here, it's most likely the old, good bug with hero-criminals. Earlier in the thread, someone already wrote that the checkbox usually doesn't appear for the "Free Talanar and Dirael" quest.
It's a bug.
The following trick helped me personally: hire any new hero in the castle. Apparently, after that, the computer "checks" the heroes and... joy!... discovers the liberated slackers. Voila - the checkbox appears, and the mission ends.
Well, this is just one option. :rolleyes:
