Necromancers – “The Bait” [Campaign 3, Mission 1]

Anastasia, you should always and everywhere gather soldiers whenever possible. I don't remember how many and what kind of soldiers I had. But I definitely had more than just archers. There were no problems with battles. I remember easily capturing the castle from which, in version 1.5, I had to quickly run away to escape the redhead. In version 1.4, you can defeat him without any consequences. The only problem was getting the redhead to move and let me pass. And even then, only on the hero. There was no such problem with a warrior. True, I didn't attack strong neutral creatures near the castle.

What version of the game do you have? If it's not lower than 1.4, then after the redhead captures the castle, you can return to the surface and collect what you didn't manage to collect before. I heard that in the unpatched version, the redhead doesn't go further than the mine in the dungeon.
