Worshipper – “Conquest” [Campaign 2, Mission 3]

A wild mission, I only now decided to complete all the campaigns of Heroes 5 for the first time. I completed all the missions on the first try, but this one only on the sixth(( I noticed one feature during the game: the main thing is aggressive behavior and no hoarding, the enemy will still accumulate more + it seemed that the druid gang casts spells only to distract attention. I gave up on completing this mission, and in 5 weeks, I decided everything with what I had initially, quickly ran across the map, captured the lower and upper cities. At the same time, when breaking through over 300 zombies and a bunch of stone elementals, which stand in the way to the upper city, flies, bought in the lower city and the dwelling next to it, help a lot, there are a little more than 20 of them, but initiative and time do their job, the main thing is that morale does not spoil everything(( As a result, I took both castles, losing a dozen imps, and began to urgently rebuild both elven castles, ignoring the demonic one. I didn't touch the druids, because the road to them passes not far from the third castle, and from there, if anything, Vinrael immediately flies out with 6 dragons and other cool stuff. On the 3rd week, I was given Ilfina, there is a lot of meat in the area, I quickly pumped her up, hoping for leadership and diplomacy to recruit neutrals, but they didn't let me(( While I was going through it for the first five times, I noticed that Gilraen is naive, and if you run Agrael near his castle with small forces, he runs out with not maximum forces, but just to exceed Agrael's current forces. At the same time, in both castles, unbought meat has accumulated, Agrael pulls Gilraen to the upper castle, buys meat and wins, while the second enemy hero (having a berserk scroll, jerk) gathers the main forces and rushes to the lower castle, where Ilfina is stationed. A fierce siege, and Ilfina, with twice as many forces, lost, taking the entire enemy army with her to the grave, a dozen grayed-out druids remained, then Agrael arrived and finished off these remnants. The road to the 3rd castle is clear, the remaining forces were enough, victory))

The trick of this mission is to act very quickly. From the very beginning, build as many castles as possible. You need to have at least demonesses and hellhounds upgraded, preferably. 40 demonesses will be enough.

I tried that, but you need a lot of sulfur for them, in the end I accumulated about 40 demonesses, 200 imps, 150 horned beasts, I went through the map easily until I met Vilraen with 12 dragons, forty ancient ents and a bunch of other meat, as a result, I realized that here I will have to fight only elves against elves
