A THREAD FOR NEWCOMERS!

I have a couple more questions:)

1. Judging by the image, Suffocation looks like an explosion. Isn't this Explosion in the terminology of Might and Magic?

Yes, they are synonyms.

2. On the map, there's a Witch's Hut that always gives the Pathfinder skill. Visiting this Hut takes about half a day. Is it worth visiting? Or will the Pathfinder skill pay off? If, for example, it takes 1 day to acquire the Pathfinder skill, after how many days will this skill become worthwhile? It seems to me that if you play for 20 days, it should pay off?:)

For example, on a swamp, if your army has units that are not native to this terrain, the hero will lose approximately half of their movement points per day. So, Pathfinder will pay off in one day - provided you level it up to expert, of course... On rocks and snow, the movement point loss will be about one-fifth of the total movement, meaning it will pay off in five days... And if there are no large impassable areas on the way, then there's no point in taking this skill - it just takes up a skill slot. By the way, the skill is also not needed when traveling on roads - there is no terrain penalty on roads.

Check out the article 5.2 "Logistics. Features of movement on the map" in the reference guide. In my opinion, it's one of the most useful for the game. Everything is described in detail there.
