Ranger - "Higher Vampire" [5th Campaign, 5th Mission]

Here's what happened to me. I gathered an army and headed towards the oil fields. I went through the teleport, and capturing Orange Castle was easy. After that, I gathered some more troops and went to the Dungeon. There, I met a hero with a formidable army; it was the first serious resistance, but I managed to overcome it and capture both castles. I captured all the artifacts and got Phoenixes. I rebuilt my army and rushed towards the enemy. I captured a castle and continued on, and then I encountered Kolya. I had to retreat; I had the greatest army, but now he was flaunting 8,000 skeleton archers, even though he only had 3,000 of them during the retreat. I decided to gather more troops, so I went back. Kolya didn't pay attention to the captured castle; as soon as he hired a hero and the two-week troop growth period passed, his interest in secondary heroes also faded. I gathered a large army of elves and hired all the undead troops in 5-6 castles over 5-6 weeks, and then I attacked Kolya. Before attacking his territory, the tavern showed that I was the strongest, but as soon as I encountered Kolya, I saw that he had 1,000 ghost dragons. And that's not even the funniest part; he was given 700 dragons every day. He first chased my hero, and then holed up in his last city. Note: By the way, there are two ways to "turn on the light." You can do it with an army of Phoenixes or by defeating the ghost dragons on the map, which the "eye" will show you.
