the first map for Anton. He defeated everyone, but Baron George is nowhere to be found, and at the end of the day, this

is still walking around. How do I get rid of this

Could you please provide the same information in Russian, but without using any profanity? If you decide to do so, please write the same thing, but using appropriate language, and attach a screenshot of the territory you have already unlocked, if possible.

I also spent a long time searching for Baron George. After capturing two towns, you need to find a small path to the east, near two obelisks. George will be in the castle of that area.

hello,

I'm having some trouble with this mission; they keep defeating me. Can anyone share some tactics, please? Who should I start with, and what should I do...?

ps
I didn't have any problems with Necropolis on normal difficulty!

There, in one of the dungeons, about 300 leveled-up crossbowmen join.

More crossbowmen joined, but that was closer to the end of the mission... the most difficult part is at the beginning, when neighbors from the south and east attack simultaneously... First, we deal with the eastern neighbor, gather troops, and block the southern one near the river, next to his castle... and so on.

I've read in many posts that enemies attack from there and there. Why doesn't anyone attack me? I'm playing on Hard difficulty and have completed the first 4 missions, in addition to the prologue. I go around, kill everyone in order, and no one attacks me from the south, north, east, or even the west. True, I always fight without losses (soon I'll get an achievement for 1000 battles without losses and will be "untouchable":D). Maybe because of this, the game considers my armies strong and "thinks": "forget it, it's not worth fighting him," what do you think?

I'm playing on normal difficulty, clearing my territory, and developing my castle while no one is attacking. Now I'm heading to the bridge to see what's next.

It's unclear what it depends on: I'm playing for the second time; the first time, literally in the first week, an orc arrived from the south with an overwhelming army, defeated both Anton and captured the castle. The second time, the start was calm; I developed for a month, built up, hired troops, even managed to save the griffins from thieves and conquer the southern orc village. The difficulty is the same. The AI behaves differently. Does it depend on the AI's mood?

If you don't receive the quest for the Orcs (and aren't standing near the passages), they will arrive later.

But what's the point of waiting? They are also gathering armies... I've already replayed it three times. (((

I went to the griffins, but nothing happened. Maybe I need to do something else to free them.

In the Dungeon, there are goblins with a question mark above them, and behind them is a quest artifact – griffin eggs. Take the box with the eggs and drag it to the griffins, and then they will join you :).

By the way, this quest is optional – it’s just a waste of time. You can recruit Griffins in the lower Barbarian Castle, and a sizable detachment will join you on the territory of one of George’s allies.

My own walkthrough. I played on the normal difficulty level. First, I built a Hall of Heroes, hired Rosalia, and gave her army to Anton. Then, as usual, neutral units joined Anton, Rosalia gathered resources, I captured a mine and a sawmill, went down, captured a fort there, then cleared the area and developed the Castle. I returned to the Castle, went down, cleared the area there as well, and then crossed the bridge, captured a fort and the enemy Castle, then went to the Dungeon, where I found the stolen eggs. I came to the Griffin fort, and they joined me, after which I could build Griffin dwellings in the Castles. Next, I completely cleared the captured territories, including the Dungeon, and then went south, where I captured another Barbarian Castle. Only after that did an enemy hero appear on my territory, and I easily defeated him. The Barbarian remained in his Castle. I cleared the entire territory again, including the area near the Barbarian Castle, and captured that Castle as well. I repelled an attack from the Outcasts, and after buying units from all the Castles, I easily won. Try it, it might help.

I'm playing on a difficult setting, and the losses are acceptable. I first captured the dwelling and the sawmill with the mine, without clearing them out completely; I mainly focused on capturing important objects. I completed the quest with the griffins and captured the eastern one; now I'm standing at the gates of the southern one. The racial ability of humans is just okay. I'm trying to level up my heroes. I lost all the griffins. I occasionally buy artifacts, but the ALCHEMIST'S MANTLE doesn't give me a random resource; I've checked. My entire army consists of two hundred guards, one and a half hundred archers (their shot is quite awkward; they often end up hitting their own!), and one hundred vestals. I have four heroes, but only Anton fights. The second month is ending.
This isn't a very difficult level; it's more of an introductory one.

I destroyed everyone except Dorje. I'm going around to collect experience and then I'll go to him. Instead of education, I chose logistics for the main hero (there's plenty of experience anyway, but increased movement range would be helpful). I especially enjoyed defending a single fortress against a powerful enemy; the archers placed in the tower shoot very well! I hope the next mission will be more challenging.
