It was probably an easy mission, which is why they didn't create a separate thread for it. But I want to thank the developers for the fire elementals – they helped me defeat about 500 enhanced titans, which is what the mage's eye showed. It turned out to be very helpful, and the timing was perfect. Plus, the titans had some good artifacts, although they were all mixed in with the rest of the loot in Gotaya's backpack (including a mask that equalizes the abilities of the hero and the opponent if the latter is stronger).
I developed Gotaya to level 22, and I no longer needed the Silanna tree. I bypassed and defeated almost everyone, except for the titans near the red castle. I really wanted to see what they were guarding, the paladins near the ballista (there were just too many of them, and they were together with Seraphs, quickly destroying my army), and the bear riders on their island (I didn't like the old men with their wall of fire...). I also decided not to bother with the undead guarding the exit from the portal near my castle.

Yeah, fire elementals are quite overpowered...

I have a problem: I destroyed the red castle, and the map is fully explored (I don't know about the dungeons), but I can't capture the blue castle in the center. I click on it, but nothing happens. Is this a bug?

I also conquered all the surrounding areas and killed the heroes.

Can anyone help? I can’t seem to beat this! I need to kill everyone and capture the cities, but they have a huge army, and I barely have anything… what should I do?

I thought that Gotay could defeat them in a couple of moves.
If you need help with the main steps, level up Gotay's ballista. This is your main strength; it hits as hard as centaurs. Your main forces are centaurs, paoka, and cyclops; the rest are for support and in case your main stacks are killed. Run to the upper left corner. There's a blue castle and a portal to the red castle and a catapult. Each destroyed castle provides resources. I didn't see any difficulties in this mission.

If you need help with the main steps, focus on leveling up the ballista for Gotay. It's your main strength, dealing damage comparable to centaurs.

There, you'll find a blue castle and a portal to a red castle and a catapult. Each destroyed castle provides resources. I didn't encounter any difficulties in this mission.

I know there's a castle in the upper left corner; I explored the entire map the first time I played. Thank you so much! I'm going to try it now! I'll let you know if something doesn't work out.

It was supposed to be a fairly easy mission, but because of the Haven heroes, who move around the map a lot in a single turn, I wasted a lot of time eliminating them. The problem was that the guards in the castles were tough, but the heroes themselves were running around with much weaker armies. No matter how many times I defeated them, they would respawn near the castles on the next turn. The catapults also had guards that were almost as strong as those in the castles. I tried leveling up a secondary hero, got him to level 22, but even with two powerful heroes, these guys managed to bypass me through portals and appear right next to my castle. Since I didn't want to lose my castle, I had to make a large detour to catch up with them. The same problem occurred with the gold mines. In the end, I destroyed all the cities with catapults, but I lost a lot of time because of the red dragon and only finished the map in early February.

P.S. I should have stuck to the walkthrough plan for this mission on Google. I just wanted to make it more interesting and have a good fight with the computer, but it ended up taking a lot longer

I enjoyed the mission, although I was initially puzzled. There are too many blue (and later red) units running around the map. The solution came to me naturally. I gathered taverns, leveled up secondary heroes, and gave them a portion of the army (sometimes a ballista + goblins + a couple of dozen centaurs was enough). I gave one a decent army, equivalent to two weeks' worth of reinforcements, and left another in the castle to simply accumulate leadership (with a perk for increased reinforcements).

I restarted once because of a catapult: I needed to destroy 6 phoenixes guarding the shipyard within two weeks, otherwise, they would use artillery to decimate our reinforcements across the river. At the same time, it's desirable to collect some loot a little further south, because on the 2nd or 3rd week, a red player will arrive (with a fairly strong army). He also steals boats by summoning them, which we can try to use to our advantage and trap him somewhere.

Gradually, we capture the castles to the north, on the left and right, and gain resources from them, which makes things more interesting. Now there are enough resources and money to build a castle and buy a full army. We take the main chests for money, and secondary heroes can take them for experience, but there's no point in leveling them above level 10 (it's enough to just give them some logistics, defense, attack, or leadership).

I didn't usually play with the ballista; it's better to use a tent with wyverns. I was pleased with the additional quest with the elementals and the underground dead end with the dwarves, where I jumped through a whirlpool closer to the end. In the end, I locked the blue player in a castle and defeated the red player on the left with catapults. After clearing the entire map and collecting stat bonuses, I went to finish the game, but the castle's defense didn't increase, so it was a bit slow. I thought for a long time between choosing: full artifacts from the lion set or a necklace for a unique skill, mastery of something. A necklace is still better when you have a large army, right?!
