Hmm, why couldn't it? She did influence Erathia, winning two of its most important wars in history and ruling well for 4 years.

1. King Nicholas Gryphonheart wouldn't have died.
2. There wouldn't have been the War of Restoration in Erathia.
3. Jelu wouldn't have become the commander of the Forest Guard.
4. Phineas Vilmar Death Bell wouldn't have become the king of the land of necromancers, Deia.
5. Archibald wouldn't have become the ruler of Deia.
6. The Reckoning wouldn't have happened.

For a number of reasons.
In the game mechanics, resurrection is possible; in the plot, it's a unique case. I mean a full resurrection, not necromancy.
In the game mechanics, you have to pay money for any creature. I think that's clear. An angel, a devil, a dragon, a skeleton – they are all hired for money. From a plot perspective, this is absurd.
In the game mechanics, creating Armageddon in Steadwick or Free Haven does not affect the plot in any way, and Armageddon itself is an extremely powerful and rare spell in the plot.
In the game mechanics, blasters are far from the strongest weapon in the game. In the plot, however, it kills much faster than almost all types of magic and weapons.
In the game mechanics, you can easily mow down Devil-Krigans with Dark Magic. In the plot, they are resistant to many means of destruction on the planet, and the main characters destroy them with blasters.
In the game mechanics, there is a spell called "Dimensional Door," which allows teleportation.
In the plot, such cases of mass teleportation over huge distances are rarely recorded.
In the game mechanics, a barbarian can reach the fifth level of Wisdom and Intelligence. This will not affect the plot at all.
The list could go on.

1. Typo: I meant to say "it could have happened."
2. Paying money for a creature is quite natural – think about it, you pay for equipment, weapons, food (feed), training – for any creature or lord (hero). If you abstract a little from the direct process of hiring – you pay, you buy, then hiring an angel, a skeleton, etc. is a kind of ritual in which money and, for example, precious stones, crystals, and other resources (for the seventh level) are used – it would simply be difficult for the game developers to describe this ritual with all sorts of sacrificial stones, circles for summoning demons, etc.
3. The fifth level of wisdom really doesn't affect the plot (and how could it, if the plot in HoMM is linear?).
4. The rest is either not entirely obvious or applies not only to HoMM, but also to MM. And we are considering HoMM.
