I'm playing on Hard difficulty as the hero. Question: Who should act as the lumberjacks? I didn't understand it in the quest. And on what week will the thugs attack?

Well, here. After ten days, the enemy necromancer appeared.

On the tenth day, a level 12 necromancer appeared with decent stats, 124 bone warriors, 102 rotting zombies, 46 spirits, and 90 mana. How? How can you create such a hero with a comparable army in just 10 days?

I lost on the 12th day. Does anyone have any tactics for completing the game?))

Which one should I upgrade first for the rush? I've started a new game, taking a different approach. Instead of leveling up the hero, I'm focusing on gathering gold and building up my town. I managed to defeat the first bandit with some difficulty, but I already knew when and where he would appear. I hired a second hero, let's see what happens next. So, who are the woodcutters?

In my opinion, on this map, Master truly outdid himself:rolleyes:
I managed to complete it in the "easy" (yeah, easy:eek:) version on recruit difficulty only thanks to the lessons learned from Remix's streams:smile22:
In other versions, it was only possible to level up at the cost of dozens of reloads, and even then, only with some luck in the random leveling.
It was frustrating to interrupt the completion of interesting quests from the author to fend off enemies attacking from all portals. I got so tired of it that at some point, I even lost my main castle with a built-up tear, just to avoid traveling by sea to complete the quest for scrolls.
The bandits' offer was "amusing" :)
In short, it's terribly difficult:eek:

Is it really that bad? During testing, I easily completed the game on Warrior difficulty as the Stronghold hero (hero Ossir), and with great difficulty and with the help of the console in the final battle against the Necropolis faction (hero Lucretia) on Veteran difficulty.
I'll think about how to further weaken the enemies.
So, did you give the Castle to the bandits, or did the enemies capture it?

And to make it possible to complete quests, reduce the frequency of enemy spawns.

Is this some kind of trick – a castle supposedly returned after a week, a month of peace – or are these bugs? And also, isn't there too much health on the enemies?

I'm playing the "easy" version with a human hero (I failed towards the end of the second month in the hard version). So, it turns out to be a mess. After repelling several sieges, around the middle of the second month, a bandit appears and offers to block the portals for a month in exchange for ownership of the castle for a week. If you refuse, an enemy with a huge army appears two days away from the castle, which is impossible to resist. As a result, you agree, but the castle is not returned to you after a week, or even two. For two weeks, I completed tasks (portal, clearing the path, caravan) and even captured a castle with a shipyard. But here's the problem, another enemy with a huge army appeared again, even though only two weeks have passed since I met the bandit. Is this some kind of deception – the supposedly returned castle after a week, a month of peace – or is it bugs? And also, is there too much "meat" (units) in the enemies' armies?

And also, is there too much "meat" (units) in the enemies' armies?

I'm playing the easy version on Veteran difficulty. Faction - Necropolis, hero - Kaspar. I think this is the most effective option because the army comes not only from cities but also from necromancy, and by leveling up other units through mentoring. Battles in the city, due to raising and replenishing mana, proceed with almost no losses. The initial period of hero leveling was difficult. It didn't work out on the hero, so I had to switch to Veteran.
But a problem arose. I can't find the shipyard workers. I've searched everywhere. Either I don't understand something, or I killed someone before getting the quest. Please advise.
