The main thing is that they retreat, and not the other way around, otherwise it's a bit unsettling.
To make them retreat, you need to break through their garrisons.
Well, I finished it, thanks, but the developers really should have considered an option with portals.
On the contrary, they did consider it. This is to prevent players from jumping around and encourage them to fight, as befits heroes. :) :) :)
PLEASE HELP! I've been struggling with this for 5 days: ( : ( : ( :smile22: :smile22: :smile22: :smile22:
After capturing the first town, I gathered all the human troops from the other heroes, and Frida headed to the second human Castle. Ilia and Wulfsten recaptured the mines (with almost no losses). Duncan and Isabelle just hung around in the Castle, occasionally supplying troops. I captured the second human Castle. Meanwhile, Wulfsten descended into the Dungeon, dealt with the defenders of the outpost, and captured the first Inferno Castle. The losses were significant, so he didn't go any further, bought some Inferno troops, and stayed in the Castle. Frida, having gathered an army, also went to the Dungeon and captured the remaining Inferno Castles. In short, the orange faction never emerged to the surface and didn't bother the other heroes at all.
Next, after buying out the entire human army, I headed to the main Castle. I defeated the outposts without losses, thanks to resurrection. The conquest of the Castle was somewhat difficult, as I hadn't accumulated enough of an army. But black magic helped a lot - battle frenzy (on the Jarls), and mind control. And again, resurrection. The longest battle was against the additional squad of mountain defenders. In the end, only archers, inquisitors, and a handful of knights remained alive.
Fulphsten wandered around the map, collecting artifacts, while Ilaya crushed the demons. Meanwhile, Frida took a garrison with peasants (losses - 2 swordsmen). Thanks to the workshop of light magic, she inhumanly strengthened the inquisitors and archers, who destroyed more than half of the enemy stack with two shots, after which the paladins and archangels finished them off. There was also a valuable item - a ring that reduced enemy luck.
When I destroyed all the enemies, I began to prepare an army to capture the city of the dwarves. For this, I simply transformed all the peasants into more powerful units (in this way, there were more than two hundred inquisitors). Ilaya went on the assault, as she had the most powerful magic. During the battle, I actively summoned phoenixes and elementals (the phoenixes had simply incredible characteristics!). As a result, I lost all the paladins, archangels, and half of the swordsmen. The inquisitors and archers almost all survived :o

I went straight to Hork, smashed the siege, and took the city. Then I fended off a demon attack; meanwhile, I cleared 1 garrison with dwarves, and using Frida, I gathered armies from everyone, resulting in a human army with 6 dragons and 21 witches, then I cleared the 2nd garrison with dwarves—the same as before, no one was left in the dwarf army. I entered the Castle with Frida, but there I was met by such "cheerful" guys that it made me feel sick; during the siege, I demolished all fortifications and only wiped out all the Jarls and dragons from the defense, others were just heavily scratched. What should I do? I still have about a month in reserve, but the defense will keep growing...

Hello. Has anyone else encountered problems while completing the mission?
I successfully defended the city and captured another one on the surface, in the lower right corner of the map.
I'm repelling demon attacks as they emerge from the dungeon,
but I don't have the strength to retake the dwarf capital. Their king is sitting behind the walls
and is just wiping me out...
How did you fight? :smile45:
We place Wolfsten to guard the Renegade Passage so they don't come through, and we build up the Haven army...
After a month and a half, after giving all the human armies to one of the three Haven heroes – preferably the most developed one – we go to attack the dwarves... You can forget about the Renegades; their army won't have time to gather a decent force... But it's worth using the Training Halls, where you can upgrade up to 20 units for money, transfer them to better warriors, and don't forget to use them every week...
It is desirable to use a Hero with upgraded Light magic during the siege.
I do it this way: I immediately send Elia, if she has suffered minor losses after liberating Horncrest (the Haven castle), to eliminate the demons – they haven't really built anything up, and with proper management, it's not difficult to defeat them...

guard the Renegade Pass, where is this pass?
I was already planning to fight the demon cities, after my dwarf was killed again, even though I sent a purchased hero with all the human troops half a map ahead of him, they killed him too, and he didn't weaken the dwarf king much:
This is how he dealt with me...:( :( :(
Apparently, the constant raids from underground were exhausting my "human" resources; I'll have to start the mission from the beginning and try to deal with the demons once and for all, so they don't cause any more trouble...:smile14:

"Wipe out the demons" – does this mean to capture their garrisons and cities?
"Guard the Path of the Renegades" – where is this path?
I was already planning to wage war against the demon cities, especially after
my dwarf was killed again, even though I sent a purchased hero with all the human troops
halfway across the map to protect him. They killed him too, and he didn't weaken the dwarf king much:

resources. I'll have to start the mission over and try to deal with the demons once and for all, so they don't cause any more trouble...:smile14:
Tell me – why buy someone if you already have 5 good, well-developed heroes? The tactic of slowly exhausting the garrisons doesn't work here! You have 3 Haven heroes – Frida, Isabel, and Duncan – surely you can use them and their bonuses wisely?
Why give the dwarf the Haven army? He can't use runes on them anyway! The armies of Wolfshtein and Elia are more than enough to go and wipe out the demons right after liberating Horncrest! And let the humans stay, build up their armies, and guard the castle...
