For those who have completed this mission, could you explain which tactic is best? I assembled a decent army and sent the Dwarf against the Red faction. A Red army of roughly equal size came towards me. I defeated him, but he almost wiped out my entire army. And then what? In the end, my army is weak, and now Laszlo is coming, with 50 of Isabel's cavalry. While I'm gathering troops, he'll gather his too. Maybe I should have attacked him right away, before he got his act together? He had a strong army from the previous campaign. In general, tell me how you managed it (but please, no answers like: "I completed this mission easily in five minutes." Please provide more details).

well, you need to hurry and help with the Dwarf Outpost and the Tear of Asch, the Obelisk. Fortunately, there aren't many of them. The goal is not to kill him, but to make him run away, which is basically the same thing. And there are also many other useful artifacts around.

I DID IT DIFFERENTLY: I CAPTURED HORNCREST AND STAYED THERE, AND THEN I BROUGHT IN REINFORCEMENTS AND GAVE LASLO A BEATING!:smile17:

I had a more interesting experience. When I stumbled upon him, I had already explored about half the map. I rushed to the Castle, and he chased after me. We were both running around, and after gathering troops from the Castle, I gave him a good beating.

I had a similar experience! I ran with Wolfenstein to dig up the Tear, and suddenly, Laszlo trapped me! There was nowhere to run, so I released Duncan with his weak army - Laszlo chased him, Duncan ran away, Laszlo chased Wolfenstein, and so on, until I managed to create enough distance and escape...:smile02:
It's also a good tactic to

This is how I did it:
the first time he met me when I went out to the green area, with a substantial army; I tried everything on him—nothing worked.
the second time, as soon as I had accumulated an army sufficient to wipe out the garrison and dug up the tear (I already knew where it was), I went to meet Laszlo, hoping I'd get lucky. - I did! ))) he bolted away from me toward the second castle, but I didn't chase him; instead, I captured same Hornnest. (meanwhile, my helpers were clearing the top area and bringing troops to the lower dwarf garrison). Laszlo couldn't stand this and came to dig me out of Hornnest. Quickly slipping past him (Hornnest was empty—that's where he rushed in), I captured the second city. He got offended and, having captured Hornnest, didn't show his face there again. After that, it was just a matter of technique.

I did it like this: the first time, he met me when I was heading towards the green area, with a considerable army. I tried various tactics, but nothing worked. The second time, after gathering enough troops to take out the garrison and finding the Tear (I already knew where it was), I went to meet Laslo, hoping I could get away with it. - And I did! ))) He rushed towards the second castle, but I didn't chase him; instead, I captured Horknest. (Meanwhile, my allies were clearing out the upper areas and bringing troops to the lower dwarven garrison). Laslo couldn't stand it and came to kick me out of Horknest. I quickly slipped past him (Horknest was empty - he rushed in there), and I captured the second town. He got upset and, after capturing Horknest, didn't venture out of there anymore. And after that, it was just a matter of technique.

And I did the exact opposite!:p

I had something similar happen to me! I rushed Wolfsten to dig up the tear, and suddenly, Laslo trapped me! There was nowhere to run, so I released Duncan with his weak army – Laslo chased him, Duncan ran away, Laslo chased Wolfsten, and so on, until I managed to create enough distance and escape... :smile02:
Also, a good tactic is to eliminate the opponent's secondary heroes, as Laslo often transfers part of his army to them!:smile14:[/QUOTE

Funny, something almost identical happened to me. I managed to dig up the tear, but Laslo cut off our retreat from this "Stalingrad cauldron." A portal to the city saved everyone from being looted. Then, while Wolf was standing at the castle, gathering strength, Duncan slipped through and went to raid the town that the scriptwriter had planned for him. He captured it, burying the besieged hero and taking over the mayor's office. The Red faction didn't like this, and he rushed to the estate for revenge. And all I had to do was strike him almost sneakily from behind. In general, this mission didn't cause any difficulties.
But here's the question: why are the videos in English, while the subtitles only give a vague hint of the game's storyline? Maybe the disc (DVD) wasn't genuine, and I was sold a fake?

After installing patch 2.1, is something wrong with this mission?
Walkthrough: Playing as Wulfsten, I reached Honcrest within a week. I captured it. During the second week, I took a second human castle and started clearing the territory. Duncan was wandering around the dwarven territory at this time. I captured one of the dwarven mines with Wulfsten... Victory... A cutscene about Godric's death... Mission completed! But where is the battle with Laslo and the rest?
Has anyone else experienced this?

Guys, help me! How long have you played? I've been playing for a month now! I've tried everything, but nothing works! His army is always bigger and stronger! Plus, while I'm building up my army, Laslo just walks through my defenses and crushes me like nothing, and if I conquer his city around the second week, his army is still better, and I don't have time to reinforce mine! That's why it's all a mess! Can anyone help? Please, help me out!!!

And I have another problem! I'm digging for a tear (I know exactly where it is), but instead of the usual "it's slightly northwest" or something like that, it just says something like "there's nothing here"! What the heck?! It's definitely

I also made mistakes and got stuck on the cell. It took me three tries to figure it out, and Laszlo somehow managed to defeat it quickly; I don't remember how, but I didn't spend much time fighting him.

I took the "Sense of Ash" artifact from Duncan – he immediately went after me.

You need to dig up the Tear as quickly as possible – the sooner you do it, the more troops you’ll have. I defeated Laslo in a rather original way. I spent some time running around his territory and capturing his mines. I had a large army, and Laslo didn't dare attack me – although I couldn't defeat him in an open field. When I captured the southeastern castle, Laslo holed up in the southwestern one and refused to leave. When I tried to take the castle, I was torn to shreds by gnome runes. Then I went back to my city and stayed there for a couple of weeks. All this time, Laslo didn't leave the castle! When I returned, I outnumbered Laslo's army (I had a hundred Tanners and fifty Lava Dragons).

Damn... Why does it take so long? I beat it pretty quickly, with a tear and by capturing the second town... Even on auto-battle and on the first try... There were only about 20 dragons).

Because he had 1500 lendlords, 70 Knights of Isabel, 600 archers, 400 zealots, 120 adepts, and some griffins and angels. I thought his army would also grow, so I decided not to take any risks :cool:
