PS, by the way, there was a lot of debate about the NUMBER of polygons in the model, they said the game is old, it won't handle many... I tried a test: I took a cyclops from the game, added tessellation in 3ds Max, and the number of polygons became about 300,000. So, the export in the editor failed... Then I tried, I think, 20,000 (no less), and the editor was able to process the model and displayed it in the window...
I try to keep the models to 15k-20k polygons, and if there are any more, I try to optimize them.
I'm interested in how many bones the game can handle in a skeleton. Hannik says he had problems with skeletons with more than 250 bones. I haven't encountered this. I only imported one such large skeleton for the phoenix, and it had about 260 bones, and there didn't seem to be any problems. But now I'm working on a skeleton for a hero (and that includes a flag and a horse with a blanket), and it turns out to be more than 250, I wonder if there will be any issues.
Ideally, it would be necessary to do this: import some test model. Let's say there are 10 legionnaires in one model, standing a meter apart, and see at which legionnaire the game starts to have problems with the skeleton.

is it important to scale the root bone, and not, say, the model itself in the 3D editor?
yes, it's important. if the model has a different scale than the bone, there will be a problem in the game, it will be flattened or stretched.

just take a look at the titans as an example of how I did it.

it will flatten it or stretch it
well, more precisely, it's like this. it can flatten it) or it might be okay) or a portal might open and Yakubovich will crawl out of it, modding Heroes 5 is mysterious and enigmatic, anything can happen there.
