Worshipper – “Ship” [Campaign 2, Mission 4]

Probably the simplest option: first, take the southernmost Elven city, then quickly move with Agrael to the northwest towards the second city, capture it, and hire 2 heroes. One will follow Agrael and receive troops from him at night to prevent them from deserting, while the second will go to the first Castle. Troops only desert from the main hero's army, not from others, even if it's a demonic hero. This pair then advances east towards the third Green city and captures it around the end of the second week. After that, rebuild all three cities evenly, while the heroes collect mines, and then calmly gather all the troops to the city where your capital is located, give everything to Agrael, and from there, go to the Dungeon to capture the Inferno city. Of course, the Elven troops should not be in Agrael's squad when moving to the Elven city, but with the second hero. In any case, there shouldn't be any problems around the third month. After that, negotiate with the dragons, give them the 100 archers, gather as many troops as you need, and move forward. You can also replace the demons with druids or archers; there will be about 500 of them left after giving them to the dragons. The second option is to take the first two Elven cities and then go south to Inferno, without taking the third. However, in this case, they will periodically harass you with their raids in the Dungeon; however, this order of progression is also fine; I passed it this way the first time. There is also another trick: you can simply defeat the dragons for experience instead of negotiating with them, but the uncompleted quest will result in fewer points for the mission. Also, losses in this battle are inevitable, which will prolong the time it takes to replenish your forces. P.S. Recruit difficulty, version 1.60
