Posts from Demon invasion.

The campaign is great; there's no denying that. I don't see the point in rushing through the maps and completing them quickly just to get badges. It's much more interesting to explore everything, level up to the max, equip your hero, and defeat everyone without exception. I played through the campaign once, and it's interesting that in one of the maps with orcs, I found the ability of archdemons useful – they pulled in an enemy centaur, and the elder demons finished them off without exposing themselves. It's usually a rarely used ability, but it came in handy for me. I'll find the save file and add it.

well, in Heroes 5, that turned out to be an unplanned rush – usually, I try to combine speed and map exploration, but that only works with a good knowledge of the map. by the way, your tactic of completing Heroes 5 through the Black Dragon Pit, Machines, and escaping seems to be the only possible one for that hero. I tried to play through Darkness, like the first time, but without the Sandro's Cloak, it turned out to be not very useful, so I also started playing for escaping, but without the Black Dragon Pit and ballistae, I cleared out 3-4 times less than I could have – I was still able to kill mages, but there was no chance against necromancers, so I had to improvise.

Guys, help me out, I'm stuck on the 2nd mission of "The Restoration of Erathia". I already have 300 Archdevils and 5,000 Imps, but the Green Player isn't moving, he's just standing behind his garrison. What should I do?:smile32:

I can't unpack this campaign. Could the author upload it to Yandex Disk?

I was able to download it from the second link. Thank you very much! I'll go try it out.

Problem with the first mission. After defeating all the demons (but leaving the green demon's town under his control), I was transported to Grimheim with my entire army, experience, artifacts, and towns, but I lost the mines I had captured there. Because of this, I didn't get the update for the main quests to kill the dwarves and capture their towns, but the cutscenes still played. Now, all the side quests are completed, and there is no one else on the map besides me.

Hello everyone. The game is hardcore, quite challenging, but interesting. I've completed the first mission and am now trying to complete the second mission.

Yeah... I can't seem to beat the second mission. I failed during the second invasion; Bertrand arrived with an even larger army, and after the first battle, I was left with 101 succubi and 1 cave lurker. I just don't have enough time to rebuild my forces (((.

P.S. By the way, why do creatures only have one upgrade? In my opinion, cave lords are better than cave lurkers, or is that intentional?!

With 5 Inferno castles and a decent hero, the first enemy is easily defeated, and after that, everything becomes quite simple. Of course, it all depends on how well you managed to level up your hero before facing him.
The upgrade limit is story-related.

I'm also leveling up Nimue. The funny thing is that by the time the first player arrives, I don't have enough troops. This time, I only caught him after he destroyed the castle with the capitol, and only on the way back was I able to destroy him. And he first went to destroy the lower right castle, even though before that he was constantly running to the castle in the middle and then to the left middle castle and then to the last castle. Thor-Hral, and Sigrif played well, he killed the Necromancer quickly; he didn't even bother raising the dead. He hit him with a chain of attacks!

you need to break through to the castle in the bottom right corner as quickly as possible. even if there are difficult neutral creatures there, you can ignore the losses. build 1-4 creatures and a castle in that location and in the starting castle; it doesn't matter if you focus on Knights and Lords. by the time the first wave arrived, I had around 400 Imps, 400+ Demons, about 200 Hellhounds, 80+ Succubi, and a few Knights. level 20, with Dispersion and Berserk, but no Slow. I won, with losses of 250 Imps, a couple of dozen Hellhounds, and I had to sacrifice some Knights. I even found a screenshot - https://i.imgur.com/tXdZS4Y.jpg

Okay. I understand. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

What should I do if the script fails at the end of the first mission?

I also decided to start a new game, this time as a hero.
In the first four months of the first campaign, I was constantly running away from the Demons, because any of them could cause [censored]. Later, I managed to level up and fight in the castle. I ended up with Blue and Green factions. Blue didn't want to attack – whenever there was a medium-level threat, it would engage me in direct combat, and I almost lost my entire army, with only 29 units remaining. The hero's speed, which allowed him to move quickly, helped a lot. In the 6th month, I'll finish off the remaining Demon. As for defeating the Gnomes in 6 months – I have no idea how to do that. I hope the mentor will help (I won thanks to her; without her, I don't know how I would have managed).

----------------------------------
The second mission doesn't seem suitable for a hero. I can't defeat the Necromancer (his army consists of 6/12/26/60/130/260/381 pink undead units, with hero stats of 2-7-18-8) compared to my 0/0/4/10/3/38/38 (stats of 16-2-7-9 with a trident), and it's also difficult to defeat the neutral creatures at the bottom within a month. I only reached level 10 in a month(!). The portal guards are invincible. I'll replay it, focusing on Machines and Ballistics for each city. The mentor is very well protected, and without the mentor skill, it's impossible to progress at the bottom – I couldn't play properly in 1v1 battles as a Warrior, and 4 cities were destroyed, or I'll play on Veteran difficulty
