wick 13, things aren't going so smoothly in the Dungeon for me. I've lost and regained castles several times. I have only 1 auxiliary hero left. It turns out their number is limited. I only recently leveled up Wolfstone's mentorship. I'll train the last hero and replace him with something else. I didn't level up Zehir's mentorship. And the enemies are coming much more frequently than once a week, even though I've captured all their dwellings.
I must have taken out those who were blocking the path to the city location right away. But I didn't get to that location right away because I didn't know where it was. I'll try to manage with only my native troops. There are fewer of them, but they are stronger thanks to the minor artifacts I'll put on them. I decided not to use the Tear, as I have enough money and resources. If I had placed the city right away, I would have used it. Then the enemies wouldn't have had the slightest chance. If I play through it again, I will do so.

I entered the Dungeon. I met a hero there who is supposed to survive. I thought he would greet me with open arms, but he attacked. One of the three stacks of level 6 units took out all my Titans in one hit and then many others in a chain reaction. I pressed ESC and went to sleep.
If Zehir hadn't spent almost all his mana on the monsters guarding the entrance to the Dungeon, we could have fought. But without mana, there's no chance. And even if we won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, because this hero is supposed to survive. I'll go another way - to where the red key is needed.
No matter how much I train Zehir in diplomacy, he's still far from Kujin. She definitely wouldn't have been attacked; she would have been invited to a feast. If someone had told me a few months ago that I would intentionally level up a mage's leadership, I wouldn't have believed it. But in 3.0, thanks to "Empathy," Zehir moves as often as a Phoenix. The next time I summon him, I'll specifically count who makes more moves.
Maybe I shouldn't have broken through the entrance to the Dungeon with a Dwarven castle? Will the Dwarves come to the surface? There are people underground who can meet them, but Zehir really doesn't want to chase after them.
