Zariana, then I guess I'll have to keep playing like this... Have you still not completed the mission?
I just wanted to experiment with skills and abilities. I experimented...:rolleyes: You can't do without Chaos. In this regard, I was more inspired by Heroes 4, where the entire character development system was more flexible. But in Heroes 5, as in 3, the hero is still somewhat bound by their faction, if you can put it that way...

It's quite easy to complete this mission if, of course, you use the right strategy.
We start the mission with a good number of Minotaurs, which is our undeniable advantage. The enemies undoubtedly outnumber us, but this advantage still needs to be developed, as they have to supply 7 Castles:D. We transfer all troops to Railag and go to storm the first Castle. We'll have to fight manually because all your troops, except for the Minotaurs, as the most resilient and numerous, must remain in reserve. We destroy the enemy with Chaos, minimizing losses in our own camp. In the Castle, we reorganize the troops and, without wasting time on gathering resources and other nonsense (Shadia will take care of this), quickly capture the second Castle and go through the LEFT portal. We capture the leftmost Castle, take all the troops from there, and go to the upper Castle. We continue this until we capture all 6 Castles located in front of the garrison and prepare for a major assault on the seventh. That's it.:cool:
P.S. There is another small trick. Storm enemy Castles on the LAST day of the week. This way, you will receive the entire reinforcement.
