Testers needed.

Started on Hero, then on Veteran.
The first thing I noticed is that changing the difficulty doesn't affect the number of troops or the ease of completion, which is a shame.
Secondly, there are almost no troops. Seriously. After the battle on Hero, I had 2 Inquisitors left. In 3 weeks, I captured a wood mine, destroyed the demons near the flag (gold +5 ore), built a town hall, a workshop, peasant huts, and a level 1 mage guild. I had 186 Lendlords and 2 Inquisitors. I only upgraded Ballista to Expert.
On Veteran, it's the same, except I managed to build an archer tower on the 3rd week, capture the flag, and upgrade to rapid-fire ballista. There's still almost no money or troops.
What am I supposed to fight with? My authority?

On Veteran, it's much easier. On Hero, yes, I have no idea how to kill the scripted Necromancer and still be able to defeat the yellow hero. On Veteran:
We clear the city – 7 Inquisitors remain.
Week 1 – we clear everything around the city (up to the bridge).
Week 2 – we clear everything up to the workshop, including the workshop and the archers with the ring (except for the archer tower and the mines guarding the boots).
Week 3 – we take the boots, clear the portal, and defeat the Dryads there for wood – we deliver the wood to the workshop at the end of the week. We run to the city. Along the way, we defeat the guards of the armored and ranged units.
Week 4 – we encounter the Necromancer.
We get on the ship and sail to the yellow hero.

In terms of buildings, prioritize the mage guild first, then the infantry archers (prioritize infantry. Archers are useless – they are bought before the Necromancer arrives and are not upgraded), and finally (before the battle with the Necromancer) upgrade the infantry to Zealots – there will be 70+ of them – with the Inquisitor's haste, this unit will easily defeat the Companions.

In terms of perks, max out the Ballista + 3rd shot. I took Luck and Attack for the rest. I wanted Battle Fury, but it didn't appear(((

Will anyone answer... Will Varus be in all missions? His special ability is much better – I would like to make him my main hero.

P.S.: Personally, I can't imagine how Heroist managed to complete the task in 5 weeks. And even more so, how he defeated 19 Undead... without cheats, of course.

I defeated 12 Undead with 7 Inquisitors + 40 peasants at the end of week 2 on Veteran. Losses: 6 peasants.

On Hero, I defeated 16 Undead on week 3 – losses: about 30 Headhunters.

After the Necromancer, I was given the tenth, if I'm not mistaken, level. Or maybe the eleventh. On the map, I couldn't only defeat the guard of the crypt.

But that's not important. In the 2nd mission, experience points accumulate well.

Now, by the way, I'm playing the second mission. So far, I've managed to take the first Elven city with huge losses, and now I'm thinking about how to defeat the guard of the scholars in the south. It's going to be tough. I made the Priest my main hero because his specialization is excellent.

I also want to make him my main hero... It will just be annoying if he disappears in missions 3-4 and remains underdeveloped((

What stats does the Priest have?
