Ice and Fire

Hmm, when I was playing, the first hero I encountered was in the first Castle, with a small army. As it turned out, the AI had gathered all its forces in its capital to give Wolfenstein a warm welcome. In general, I captured the first Castle without any difficulty. But the real fun began with the second one. The heroes were around level 22-25. I suspect this happened because a lot of time had passed since the beginning of the second game, and the AI had time to strengthen itself.

About a month. The 2nd caravan arrived with 2 Devils.

The Dwarf's army isn't particularly large. 9 Dragons, 30 Yetis, 150 Bears, etc.
This is nothing. What's annoying is that he has 30 magic power with upgraded Chaos and Pyromancy. This fascist casts Fireballs + as a bonus, he also adds 3 turns of burning. As a result, the Churches and Unicorns burn down to 0. The Yetis destroy the Imps (2400 damage is dealt to them with each cast). In the end, less than a hundred Rogues survive out of 322. And a hundred Rogues can't storm a garrison, nor can they take the Castle.
In fact, the Dwarf's army is nothing special; mine is much stronger. Chaos is what ruins everything.

Before the 2nd caravan arrived, the hero was weaker (3 times weaker), but I also had a smaller army with me - about the same number of Rogues and Imps died. In the end, there were 70 Churches and 17 Succubi left (I didn't put them in the battle - the AI targets them with magic first). Again, this isn't the best option - it's unlikely that the garrison could take them.
