The “Maahir’s Gambit” scenario.

Decided to revisit my youth and play Heroes again. Thanks for the tip that all the necessary artifacts are marked (Sar-Issa). It really helped; I wandered around the map aimlessly for 3 in-game months. I thought I was playing a cut-down version. But it turned out that you specifically need Maahir to collect all 4 artifacts. And I grabbed 2 artifacts with another character. And before, when I started the mission for the first time and met Zoltan, he had 3,000 archers. With my meager "army," I immediately started a new game. On the second attempt, I didn't rush; instead, I spent a week building up my Castle, without touching Maahir. On the second week, a Necromancer appeared in the tavern, and that's when things started to happen. I immediately set up the resurrection of archers at the Sphinx. The percentage of archers resurrected after defeating an enemy, defense: resilience (+2 health for all warriors in the army), machine management: tent (more healing). And inhabited mines = 0) – when capturing mines, I took the ghosts that were stationed there. When I met Zoltan:smile13:, he started running away from me for some reason (why is that:confused:?). To get his soul, I gathered 2 squads of 2.5k archer skeletons; ghosts (more than 500) to distract. And then titans, gremlins, wizards (gargoyles and golems as bait). In general, with minimal losses for me, Zoltan was defeated. It took only one attempt without restarting (at the beginning, I defeated the archers, then the liches, and after that, everything was clear). P.S. Good luck to everyone in the game.
