The most challenging campaign.

Oh yes, I agree! I got frustrated on the 2nd mission for the Orcs! I kept thinking about how to get up that mountain! I stopped playing for a month. Then I got bored and decided to play Heroes again. And again, I got FRUSTRATED, and Dark Elves attacked me, and I couldn't climb the mountain, and there was an Orc portal there. After 3 or even 4 months, I FINALLY COMPLETED IT!!! :smile03: :smile03: :smile44: :smile44: :smile49: :smile49: :smile54: :smile54: Well, and I started playing further. By the way, I was also struggling with the last mission of the Academy in Lords of the Arena. I just couldn't get past the demon guard.

I struggled with this mission for about 7 hours on the highest difficulty. The Turquoise army is much stronger. In the end, I split the Daughters of the Sky into 2 stacks and, together with the Centaurs, used Chain Lightning to first destroy the catapult and cart, and then the Cyclops, as they were breaking down the walls, and also the Wyverns that had flown over there. In the end, realizing that he couldn't get past the wall, the enemy immediately retreated. However, I replayed this battle about 10 times, as it's difficult to quickly eliminate 15 Cyclops, and they managed to break down the wall, and Kujin's special ability didn't always work on them; in the end, I barely managed to hold them back with fire and goblin traps.
As for the pirates, they appear as soon as one of the heroes gets on a ship, but you don't need to fight those two, although I did defeat them; they seem to disembark, but they don't capture the Castle. The main thing is to deal with Letos. Well, after repelling the Turquoise attack, things went well for me.

What about the demon in the last mission? The one that just wanders around the map? They don't seem to have a very large army. But it was difficult with Biara; I only managed to win on Armageddon, as I did with Laslo.
