New order.

Well, it's quite good; some parts are challenging, others not so much. The storyline is interesting and logical. I played on Veteran difficulty. In the first mission, I quickly developed Allaric... Orlando was also leveled up, though not to level 10. The first attempt failed; I reached the Castle, but couldn't defeat Helmar. Either I didn't level up properly (thinking that using machines would be too easy, so I didn't focus on them), or I spent too many resources on archers. I replayed, focused on getting machines for Allaric, and it became much easier. I cleared the Castle, and it was all good. The second mission is the best, but the beginning is very difficult, with unrealistic neutral creatures to fight on the early stages. You have to follow the remix strategy, but only use the "Summon Fire Warrior" spell... otherwise, I don't know how to do it. It's the easiest way to clear the early stages, but having to reload the game a thousand times is annoying. I wanted to at least summon a Fire Elemental, but I didn't get lucky. Chaos and some other creature appeared instead. So, it's not good for the initial clearings, but I somehow managed to pull it off (not clearing everything, of course; I left the Unicorns, Vampires, and Rakshasa). By week 2, I had cleared the strong heroes, but she didn't attack. I went to the upper Castle, settled in, and waited for Nuru. I cleared the Castle using Ice Golem and Magic Bolt, and there were some losses, but it was a long, interesting, and great battle. Then, I cleared the rest... I remember that Chaos and the machines gave me level 7-8, but at that moment, the machines were terrible without a Ballista and a Tent. By the end of the first month, I cleared the Shrine of the Dragons (thinking that I could do it again at the beginning of the second month, but that's not how it works). I had a good amount of meat: 124 Golems, Gargoyles, etc. Various useless creatures appeared. Fortunately, I bought the Ring of Kinship in the shop, but it was still useless at that time. The Demon was also difficult; I had to wait 2-3 weeks before I could start clearing anything. Two smaller caves helped at the beginning, first with Menelag, then with the Demon, but the meat was too strong, and it was hard without losses. Also, keep in mind that this was my first time playing the campaign, and I didn't know what to do or where to go, so it was a terra incognita, but that made it even more interesting. Try playing without summoning, like a pro. I only got the Summon spell at level 14-15, when I had already cleared the garrison and two Castles. In the third mission, Orlando is running around the human lands, causing trouble? GG, it's great and canonical that he's powerful, with machines and good stats (rather than always having the "when we play as evil, it's weak, but when we play against evil, it's the master" thing). It's an easy walk at the beginning, but the final Castle isn't that easy. It didn't work on the first try; I had to gather more meat, enough for a week, because I felt all-powerful and thought I could just clear it, but no. Overall, it's good, but I would have liked a slightly larger map and more helpful AI. In the fourth mission, Allaric is destroying everything. It's interesting from a storyline perspective, but it's a bit boring how he moves around. Well, that's how it's supposed to be, according to the canon; he doesn't have a horse, damn it. We clear the undead like a knife through butter. Ornella provided decent resistance, but I cleared her on the first try. I didn't underestimate the last bosses from the previous missions. In the fifth mission, I played almost without reloading, and with the losses that the starting Orc gave, it was quite strong, but I don't like sitting around and accumulating troops. I like to clear, run around, and I went straight to the right instead of down. But it's better down there. The Necromancer was interesting and didn't let me get bored. The Orcs had a lot of meat, but the heroes were weak (but if they were 20+ levels, I wouldn't have enough meat to accumulate). The Elf was a useless piece of... he just sits in the Castle, which is redundant, in my opinion. Kurak Khan was tough, and in the first attempt, Hageth brought reinforcements to the portal because I missed her somewhere and she ran out incognito. I was shocked by the troops and stats. Then, I reloaded and defeated her, but Khan was still difficult; there was too much meat, so I had to accumulate more, and then I somehow defeated him. I give the author a 12 out of 10; I liked the campaign
