For example, I used only Dwarves and Orcs to clear out the ghosts,
losing 1-2 units in each slot.

The main thing was not to take the butterflies into battle against the spirits.
:) Yeah. When I saw that after one hit on them, there were twenty or so of these witches, I decided to forget about them – I can run without boots anyway :) That's when I made the wrong decision. Well, it's too late now, I can only draw conclusions :)

Describe the battle with the ghosts, what units you used, and what the losses were. Now I understand that it's real because many have gone through this.
You're welcome. I used 15 Ogres and 69 Dwarves to fight the Gargoyles and Ghosts in succession. After both battles, I had 14 Ogres and 65 Dwarves remaining.
Overall, this stage was the shortest of all (although stage 5 was even shorter, but not by my own choice), as I completed the map twice, and the playthroughs themselves were very fast, perhaps even too fast.

On day 5, I landed, and on day 7, I captured the Knight Castle, bought a hero there, and he started marching back towards the portal. On day 8, he captured a Warlock town but didn't reach the desert castle, and on winter, another boatman landed. On day 9, we finish off the castles. On day 10, we finish off the heroes. How did you manage to lose a day? Did you spend one turn chasing after two enemy heroes that had scattered?
No, I couldn't reach the Knight town on day 7, even by moving one diagonal square.

You're welcome. I defeated Gargoyles and Ghosts with 15 Ogres and 69 Gnomes in a row. After both battles, 14 Ogres and 65 Gnomes remained.
In general, this stage was the shortest of all (although stage 5 was even shorter, but not by my own choice), because I played the map twice, and the playthroughs themselves were very fast, even too fast.
Yes, I already realized that I made a mistake in choosing the direction of movement for the heroes because of this battle. I was playing at a leisurely pace, but only for one full day. Well, it could be worse :(

No, on day 7, I couldn't reach the Knight's city, even by one diagonal square.
But I had enough movement points to attack the fortress. However, I couldn't move any further. So I just stood diagonally to the gate. I only had fast units with me, but before the attack, I captured Ogres that were blocking the path to the castle. It turns out that there is a difference of one movement point for this hero on the 7th turn?

I only had Elves, Wolves, and Swordsmen. But I made a mistake; in my best playthrough, Karlavn didn't make it very far, and the Ogres weren't there because the green one ate them. You probably didn't capture the Knight's Castle with a Sorceress. But how???

everything ingenious is indeed simple!!! landing the Sorceress in the boat on day 4 is the key to success!!! and I messed up and lost a day... by the way, about tricks like moving with the arrow keys: maybe someone else remembers something? I heard that you can also cleverly move through teleporters without losing a turn. but I don't know the specifics.

No... the option using the "space" key (like in Heroes 3) doesn't work here... the only way is to reload to appear immediately where you need to be!!! Unless you can use the arrow keys to spin in one place (for example, after entering a closed portal), then you don't lose a turn, but there's no point in this operation!!!:D

I, for example, got the Sorceress into the boat on the fourth day, but what good did it do! The key to success is the "northern path," that is, the road through the northern portal.

On my fourth day, a Barbarian got into the boat. The two Sorceresses remained on their shore. Now it's clear why you lost a day with this walkthrough. It's also clear about the "northern path" - we missed it :(

And on the 4th day, my Barbarian already had boots, and the Sorceress got into a boat;)
Barbarian - snow; Sorceress - water; me - :D

I never imagined that you could pass through a mountain – all the way to the north.

Against the ghosts, I used wolves and swordsmen. I lost about seven wolves, but I didn't have any major problems.

Is this passage through the mountain clearly visible in the editor, or not? Have you checked?
