Testers needed.

Started on Hero difficulty, then on Veteran.
The first thing I noticed is that changing the difficulty doesn't affect the number of troops or the ease of completing the scenario, which is disappointing.
Secondly, there are very few troops available. After the battle on Hero difficulty, I was left with 2 Inquisitors. 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 Landlords and 2 Inquisitors. I only leveled up the Ballista skill to Expert.
On Veteran difficulty, it was the same, except I managed to build an Archer Tower on the 3rd week, capture the flag, and level up to a Rapid Fire Ballista. There were almost no money or troops.
What am I supposed to fight with? Authority?
Thirdly, the time limit. Maybe with some mod, it's possible to complete it in 5 weeks, but under these conditions, it's impossible.
Usually, the lower the difficulty, the easier it is. Not here. At least increase it to 2 months...
4. Maybe it would be worth giving a choice of what to choose before the mission (like in the original), or perhaps more ranged troops or useful artifacts...
In conclusion, this is my playthrough without cheats, script replacements, or mods that make the game easier (I only have mods for artifact/creature descriptions, recoloring of elf/titan archers, MegaAI, and the NCF mod).
P.S.: 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.

Please let me know if anyone has managed to capture the Dwarf Fortress in the north of the map. I don't think it's possible yet - the enemies also have constant evasion.
I captured the second human town - it wasn't that difficult now. But now there is a big problem in the form of an elf with the icon of Alaron, pumped up with steroids. He has almost no army, but even that is enough to destroy everything around. I'll think about what to do with him...

Oh yes, there's also a neutral mage on one of the islands, but I haven't fought him yet - it's a bit scary...
