"Escape to Salvation" - "Magnificent Retreat" [Campaign 4, Mission 4]

Kudzhin is a problem (version 3.1, difficulty: warrior).
I replayed the "Wisdom of the Earth" mission, improved her stats, and replaced her skills with more useful ones, but when I load the saved game before the battle in this current mission, I see her with the same parameters as before the replay :eek:. Please tell me, :smile45: how to correctly continue this mission, in what sequence, so that Kudzhin's improved skills from the replayed mission are loaded. Do I really have to start this mission from the beginning :smile35:

I have to quote myself...
Kudzhin is no longer a problem! :smile03: :smile44: :smile03:
I re-profiled her skills to be more suitable for the battle with the demons, and I really had to replay the entire final mission from the beginning so that the script would work and Kudzhin would finally win and take the demon castle, and Zehir would continue his mission. Screenshots are attached:



The equipment that the authors dressed Kudzhin in – I couldn't get rid of the unnecessary trinkets, although there was a choice... at the end of the "Wisdom of the Earth" mission, I dressed her like a doll.

And the improved save with Kudzhin (end of the "Wisdom of the Earth" mission) http://letitbit.net/download/77083.75493bfa628dda9a2d44aedaac9d/save_2.sav.html
With this save, you can safely go to the final mission – after the battle, Kudzhin and taking the castle, she still has a decent army. About 45 cyclops... :smile13:

I decided to upload saves for Kudzhin's battle as well (right before the battle, i.e., after Zehir defeats another demon and destroys the magical barrier) http://letitbit.net/download/98902.9f74eb261204fdf900d9869a2e04/save_4.sav.html

And this save is for Zehir's long-awaited victory over Biara (before taking the Claw castle, where Biara herself settled) :smile08: http://letitbit.net/download/93941.922e2cfe13f6f3f20422edd09719/save_12.sav.html :smile49:

Here are screenshots for a clear picture of the winner:

- before replacing them with those who appeared at the Claw after Ilia's victory.

- after the corresponding replacement, the level of danger of the battle has already decreased from medium to low. And during the battle, I didn't even have to create phantoms, for which I thoughtfully upgraded Zehir's summoning skill – he created a 100% clone of the original. And what luck he has!... I never regretted leaving him with this skill :smile20:

See for yourself:



And here are the results of the battle:



I would also like to add:
- I couldn't get "Mentorship" :smile32:, but I didn't need it anyway (Zehir doesn't really need an assistant – I had one assistant, he just led the extra troops and collected resources for Zehir);
- I didn't use "Banishment" at all;
- the tome of dark magic is in the last part of the map, i.e., in the upper left corner, guarded by lava dragons;
- why does Zehir need the "Astral Gate" spell, he is a great warrior even without them... only to jump over broken bridges or jump over Biara's "no" garrison near the castle?
