Started a new game. This time, the yellow faction appeared very early in the second month, with an even larger army than before. However, when I retreated to the thieves' guild, it didn't attack me but instead ran towards the blue faction. The blue faction defeated it, but was left with almost no army, and I managed to kill it, albeit with significant losses. I took the blue faction's castle, and tried to approach the yellow faction's castle – the orange faction appeared, even stronger than the previous two. So, I'm staying in the blue faction's castle for now, clearing the surrounding area, collecting artifacts. The orange faction doesn't seem to be attacking yet, and if it continues like this, I'll eventually gather enough troops from the two castles to defeat it. But without this random AI behavior, I can't imagine how to complete the game. The enemy armies aren't significantly larger, except for levels 6-7, but they are equipped with artifacts, and the yellow faction has a powerful Chaos skill, while the blue faction actively uses Berserk and enhanced spells, making it difficult to win. I need to find a way to weaken the enemies, at least on lower levels than the hero.

So, here's my story. I epically killed the blue player, collected artifacts, leveled up, and... DIED. Glory to NIMUS, he killed three players, including me. His berserker and huge army defeated the Dark Messiah Sigrif! The world is saved... Or not. I cheated and summoned legions, then killed Nimus. It seems I can't win fairly here. Screenshot of the hero and army at the moment of death:

Added after 1 minute
Nimus had 10 archdemons, 22 imps, 40 something horses, etc.

I finally managed to beat him! Orange kept trying to reach me, but I ran between castles, and as soon as he came through the teleporters, I would quickly turn around and run to another castle, gather reinforcements and caravans, and repeat the process. I managed to acquire almost all the best artifacts, and with 18 points in Sorcery, I could take down 40 of his Temptresses in one chain. After several weeks of these maneuvers, I was in a strong position, and he didn't dare approach anymore. I captured a third castle and defeated him. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/P4wik I focused on increasing attack, logistics (most important), mechanics (to break through defenses without losses using a tent and a ballista), defense, and luck. Now I'm starting a war with the Dwarves, and I'm already a little scared.

I cleared almost all the best artifacts, and with 18 points in Sorcery, I was dealing 40 damage to his Temptresses with a single chain spell. After a few weeks of these maneuvers, I was in a good position, and he didn't risk coming near me anymore. I took the third Castle and defeated him.

Awesome!:smile02: I won't be able to do that – I'm stuck.

I did it!!! Well, I completed the first part of the first mission. Nimue drowned in his own blood! Now he's waiting for the Dwarves too! Or maybe me... I'll post a screenshot of Sigrif after he's done.

In short, it's all about pure luck.

I've made some progress. The hero is... I don't understand the idea of starting with level 7 creatures, especially those that can reach you in one turn. Also, it's no secret that in this case, the start will depend on how quickly you upgrade your magic and witchcraft skills – why, even randomly, put creatures that are poorly or almost not vulnerable to magic? That is, you have to sit and click and wait for a suitable option to appear?
I encountered one of the options. I defeated the improved druids; even the dog did well against them, along with the griffins. But how do you defeat many improved dragons, or hundreds of succubi, or viziers of genies? There's no meat, and there's barely enough magic. Moreover, the viziers were guarding an artifact from the set, which could be very useful.
Also, why can't you ban neutral creatures that are immune to the wave spell, in addition to those that are invulnerable to magic?
There are many questions.
Moreover, you move in a tight formation, and it still depends on the starting conditions.

Also, it's no secret that in this case, everything will depend on how quickly you upgrade your magic and spellcasting (depending on what else you get) – what's the point of having creatures that are poorly or almost not vulnerable to magic, even if it's random? Does that mean you have to sit and click, waiting for a suitable option to appear?

Also, why can't you prevent neutral creatures that are immune to the "Wave" spell, in addition to those that are invulnerable to magic?
There are many questions.
And it all depends on how close you are and the starting conditions.

Almost all creatures, as well as artifacts, are random. You can't ban a specific type

this randomness simply has an unreal impact on the ability to complete the game. maybe something can be done about it?

I continue to fight the dwarves. I killed Brand, went to Thor Hral, and there I was met by Hangvul with an army ranging from 3.5k warriors to 200 dragons. There is absolutely no chance in an open battle against him, so I broke through the guard of the last dwarven artifact and teleported to the djinn for a reward, which was very disappointing - replacing the Sar-Issa staff with a wand that summons creatures is absolutely pointless, because Hangvul seems to have dwarven luck and constantly reflects attacks, and even one reflected berserk attack in a battle with him = a loss. As a result, I met him in Brand's castle and, after the twentieth attempt, I managed to defeat him. Simply, Scatter and Berserk saved this almost hopeless battle. https://imgur.com/a/4ffwm

But I heard somewhere that it's possible...
It's not evening yet, I'm still leveling up my hero, no one has attacked me, I'm dealing with neutrals. Let's see.

I played through the campaign using cheats. Yes, it's like that. No, it takes too long to complete. Sorry. In general, the level of design is -10, the plot is interesting, the terrain is 10.

I appreciate your work, but the campaign is too difficult and, in some places, not well thought out. In short, you need to improve it.

Well, a few more words about why I said that. For example, I moved on to the second part of the first mission. The hero is level 1, and there are neutral creatures all around that have been growing since the beginning of the game. Well, I almost defeated them all with cunning, but damn. Three packs of liches, 50 each, and a huge army on the portal! Golem artifacts guard thousands of them!! On a wooden resource, not only are there 150 wolves, but I also got 70 water elementals! No money, no resources. The Dwarf has four castles (I think), how am I supposed to beat him? Or do I have to spend three years building up an army? In short, you need to adjust the balance and the neutral creatures. You need to, and that's it!

Otherwise, you have to use cheats for money and experience.

I, and 3 other people from our group (EWA), are currently trying to complete this campaign on Hero with the installed mod. So far, we have only managed to complete the first mission, Ice and Flame, and even that was a real challenge. There is no talk of completing the 2nd mission, Rebirth, yet.
In essence, we have to play each battle in manual mode; we had to forget about auto-battle right away. As MasteR said:
almost all creatures, as well as artifacts, are random. It is impossible to ban any specific type.
If you play with the mod, the guards of the mines, artifacts, and other objects are simply immortal. The enemy Heroes are extremely smart and dangerous! The level of enemy AI is simply off the charts. I don't think we will be able to complete the 2nd mission anytime soon. I doubt that the campaign is even passable on Hero with the mod

These guys, in large numbers, guarded ordinary artifacts (mid-level). Look at their stats, and everything will become clear!

Where can I find the dragonbone armor for the merchant's quest? I've found everything else except that. Only Wolfenstein remains of the dwarves, and I want to go there with a complete set of equipment.

This randomness really affects the ability to complete the game. Maybe something can be done about it?

Unless you set creatures of a specific type everywhere, but then mods like EWA won't be useful, as new creatures won't be generated.

Perhaps there is some filter in the map properties tree that I have never used. I'll take a look when I have the editor at hand.

The first two scenarios have existed for over 3 years. Since then, the difficulty has hardly changed. Of course, many people have talked about the difficulty, but also a fairly large number of players have managed to complete it on the hero difficulty.

I don't remember, but it's better not to delay with Wulfsten.
