The problem is that it's desirable to capture the Castle before the hero reaches level 10, so that you can then visit all the places that increase skills. Otherwise, after capturing the Castle, the mission ends.
I also don't understand the appeal of rushing through a map in a straight line to the Castle, without seeing anything, or properly leveling up the hero... After all, in Heroes of Might and Magic V, they don't even give a rating for speedrunning, so why deprive yourself of the pleasure of a thorough and inquisitive playthrough?:smile01:
