That's right! And my diagnosis is called "sclerosis" :) Old age, damn it :)
And your advice helped me :)
I played as the Alliance of Light, completed "Broken Alliance" on normal difficulty in 27 days, and again spent about 5 days chasing enemy heroes. But while playing, it seemed like it would take about 39 days. On the 5th day, I easily defeated 35 imps (it's strange that there were so few of them) that were blocking my path between the pillars. I didn't have to break down the guards into single units, and they didn't become victims; they all survived. On the 7th day, I took the first enemy town. And after that, everything was easy. I used "Stone Skin" only once, "Harass" often, but not always. I leveled up "Guardian of Secrets" 1 and 2, which greatly increased the hero's magic attack. I often used "Regeneration," "Cure," and "Greater Cure," and of course, the racial ability. Of course, it was easy on normal difficulty. It will be more difficult on hard difficulty; I'll have to break down the guards into single units and use "Stone Skin," and there will be more neutrals.
