I can't enter the one-way portal, which is located slightly above the middle of the map. It might be related to the fact that after bypassing the garrison, my castles and mines remained under my control instead of being transferred to the red player.

Added after 52 minutes
Please upload the save file before the final cutscene.

In the game, you can't enter there! Not far from the first garrison, there's a keymaster's tent! Go there, and travel south from the first garrison, heading east!!! Keep going; you should find fire drakes! Defeat them and continue; the entrance to the dungeon is there! Enter, travel a bit, and the mission is complete!

I can't enter the one-way portal, which is located slightly above the middle of the map. Perhaps this is related to the fact that after defeating the garrison, my castles and mines remained mine and did not go to the red player.

I don't quite understand, after defeating which garrison? I did it like this: first, I defeated the purple player on the right, cleared the entire territory up to the garrison, then approached the dwarf garrison, received their demands, and fulfilled them. After that, they let me pass through their garrisons. I ran to the castle, and after the cutscene, it turns out that while Frida wanted to resolve everything peacefully, Laslo attacks the dwarves. After this, two of my castles and all the mines go to Laslo, and Frida receives the task of escaping the dwarf territory. Then, you can say, we run straight ahead, killing monsters and joining friendly units. Along the way, you can manage to collect the set of artifacts of the dwarven royal armor and complete a couple of minor quests. One of the quests is very useful: kill the hydras guarding the mine. After completing the quest, the mine will serve as a kind of teleport. In general, in the end, we reach another garrison, which turns out to be empty. Behind it, we dive into the Dungeon, take a couple of steps - and the mission is completed.

Friends, can you help me? I'm experiencing a bug in the game. When I approach a Castle, watch the cutscene, and see Laslo at the garrison, other players take their turns, the cursor switches to Frida, and the game freezes. The loading icon appears on the screen, but I can't move the cursor anywhere. I've reinstalled the game and installed patch 2.1, but it doesn't help. What should I do?

Friends, can you help me? The game has a glitch: I approach a castle, watch the cutscene, see Laslo at the garrison, then other players make their moves, the cursor switches to Frida, and the game freezes.

Update the driver for your video card, and everything will be fine. Also, based on what you're saying, your computer might be infected with a virus. Install Eset Nod 32 antivirus – it's the best antivirus in the world in terms of all characteristics. www.esetnod32.ru. And in general, you should ask this question in a different forum.

Question!!! How did you manage to kill anyone if they let me through the garrison first with a maximum of 5 "Paladins"? If I take a larger squad, they say: "You have too large an army, come back when you have fulfilled all the requirements..."

Maybe I'm not dividing things correctly? But after the "one-way" teleport, I can't break through anywhere further. It's impossible to kill the "Phoenixes".

Through the garrison, you can pass with the following army: 100 militia, 80 crossbowmen, 50 knights, 30 griffins, 15 inquisitors, and 5 paladins. With such an army, you can fight. Also, you meet a dwarf there, who gives you a quest to destroy hydras. After completing the quest, he leads you through a mine directly to the exit, which is guarded by lava dragons. You defeat them, and that's it. And, in my opinion, you don't necessarily have to defeat the phoenixes there.

Well, Frida is no longer a low-level unit! I had her with attack and defense over 15; with such parameters, even 5 paladins are quite a force.
I personally defeated the phoenixes by casting mass Haste, Stone Skin, Bless, and Swiftness, and the phoenixes received mass Weakness and Slow. By the way, Blindness works on phoenixes, and before the 2nd mission (if I'm not mistaken), Frida is offered this spell as a starting bonus, and it carries over to all subsequent missions. I recommend it.

Also, all the units of the Haven faction will join you, and there are many of them. If you collect the dwarven artifacts, you'll find paladins in the dungeon, and they will join you in exchange for these artifacts, totaling 45 units. With such an army, you can defeat anyone; just don't give them to the mage in exchange for showing you interesting places. In this mission, I maxed out my dark and light magic skills, so I could resurrect and control units, allowing me to complete it without any problems and with minimal losses.

Damn, and I gave them away "for the tour." I didn't even think they could be useful – they should have warned me!:smile29: I won't replay the game... I'm too lazy.

The most important thing here is to destroy the enemy Castle first, as you can then get a free resurrection and teleport. You can only pass through the garrison with upgraded units. It's funny, but it's true. For some reason, peasants are considered stronger than militia, so you won't be allowed through with them. There is only one truly difficult battle on this map (with the 51st dragon somewhere). But it can be won without 45 Paladins. So, if you gave it away for viewing, it's not a big deal. It doesn't give the hero any bonuses anyway. After talking to Wulfsten, you need to turn left from the Dwarven Castle and enter a one-way portal. Then, just follow the path of least resistance (i.e., don't kill anyone). Note that all the Order creatures standing in your way will gladly and freely join you. You don't need to look for them specifically; they will join you along the way. It's better not to touch the Wolves at first because there is a quest related to them, and it's not a minor one. Also, the script for the appearance of two more Wolf units there doesn't always work reliably. So, it's better to reach the Priests first, who will give you the quest. You will get the key in the tent in exchange for 5000 coins, 10 crystals, and 5 gems. That's about it.

I'm currently playing through this mission in version 3.0. Frida has a specialization from the Tribes of the East faction – when any light magic spell is cast, Divine Retribution randomly hits an enemy. I captured the castle on the 2nd day of the 2nd week. I built mage guilds in the castles. I had very bad luck. In both castles, Divine Retribution was detrimental (I figured this out after the garrison was deployed) and almost useless due to its weak magic, Holy Word. Before this, Divine Retribution hit without fail (a feature?). After it appeared in the spellbook, the specialization started working as described (randomly). I don't remember how Frida's specialization worked in the original game. I think that before she got Divine Retribution, it didn't work at all.

What difficulty level were you playing on? If it was on Hero, you shouldn't drag it out, as the number of neutral creatures increases very quickly. In your case, it's best to replay the mission. ;)

Hmm. No one told me anything about the hydras. And 45 paladins are probably for such clumsy players as myself. I suffered unreasonably large losses on Veteran difficulty when trying to capture the dwarven armor. And without these attempts, even after the fire dragons, my army was much larger than after passing the outpost. By the way, the riders (or horsemen) on bears join in one place. And they are quite strong – as many as 68 of them.
And in the second castle, they didn't give me resurrection. Instead, they gave me a phantom, which can be cast on paladins and royal griffins.
