The Necropolis campaign is the most enjoyable due to the ability to join forces and raise the dead. In general, it's pointless to fight against your own neutral troops; it would be better if they joined you. Regarding the difficulty, the key is to quickly eliminate the enemy. Almost all missions should be completed in this way (you just need to know in advance what needs to be eliminated).

How does the enemy elimination speed work?

this means that you need to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible, preferably in the first week or after the first reinforcement, otherwise, later on, they will gather an army, and it will become impossible to defeat them. This is a major drawback of all campaigns (and most are played this way), and it will become tedious because you won't be able to enjoy the game much.

Ah, yes. That's one way to win. Sometimes speed is better than leveling up your hero.

this isn't just one way; it's the only way. sometimes, being a week late can mean having to replay the entire mission. In Heroes 3, you could take your time at the beginning and level up, and then, of course, you had to work hard, but the difference in troops never became as critical as it does in Heroes 5.

sometimes, a time limit is specified. In that case, you naturally need to hurry. But when no time limit is specified, and there are many Castles to conquer (either given or needing to be captured), you can take the time to level up your hero. And you can win not because of speed, but thanks to your army and, perhaps, your hero's skills.

But wasn't her task to do just that? Although, I didn't check what would happen if someone else attacked the elves. I maxed out this usurper.:rolleyes:

I don't remember if the task required Isabel to kill the elves specifically. In my game, it was Markel who did it. And I, although I didn't want to, was forced to level up Isabel to level 24 in the first Campaign because I wanted to level up Godric. There are two fairly strong enemies that appear weekly on that hero.

this is a big drawback of all Campaigns (and most are played this way) and it gets annoying because you can't really enjoy the game

I tried to get the maximum out of almost every mission. And this is incompatible with a quick Walkthrough. Of course, there were exceptions. For example, in the 5th mission for the Necropolis, it's easiest to eliminate Godric on the first week.

The task stated the following: the elf army needs to be destroyed. Markel needs to focus on mages, so let Isabel take care of the elves. Well, I didn't check how mandatory this condition was, and I started crushing the pointy-eared creatures with Isabel.:smile10: After the first campaign, both Isabel and Godrick were leveled up to the maximum – thanks to the demons that attacked the castle in the final mission.:smile03:

Slohnish, in that mission, it's hard not to level up Isabel on the hero if you want to level up Godric. By the time Godric is capable of handling enemies, the defending castle's Isabel will already have had time to level up. Even at the beginning of the mission, Isabel has a hard time defending.

In the Necropolis campaign, Isabel has a weak castle. That's why I immediately decided that she might not be able to handle the elf. So, she accompanied Markel as a support hero. A Necromancer is never a hindrance in versions 1.5 and 2.1. Besides, she carried all the joined dragons. By the end of the mission, there were more than 100 of them.

No, she did great with Resurrection.;) A flawed castle isn't a problem if the army doesn't decrease from battle to battle.:smile20: And then... when Markel reached his "ceiling," it became boring for them to fight. And Isabella was still "growing"...

Slohnish, I was just afraid to let Isabel fight a strong enemy. That's why she was always under Markel's protection. My Isabel also had resurrection. And there's no point in leveling up Isabel. Because you still have to fight with her. Although, the same applies to Markel. But it's hard to defeat a Godric like mine with an un-leveled Markel. Because he's practically a level 34 hero.

I previously wrote that I completed almost all missions slowly to get the most out of them. Here, I was a little dishonest. I always try to destroy the main enemy forces as quickly as possible, and then slowly and tediously level up the hero and collect all the bonuses. In this mission, the main thing is to curse at least one city as quickly as possible. It immediately becomes easier.

I encountered some kind of weird bug in the first mission of the Necromancer campaign. You have to sneak past patrols, and those damned Indians on elephants just stood in the middle of the passage and wouldn't move! You can't even attack them – there won't be a battle, you'll lose immediately, so I restarted the mission three or four times.
I also didn't like the fourth mission for Agrael, where you have to capture a port city, and at the beginning of the mission, the army starts to desert. There's nothing particularly difficult about it, but the fact that they deserted just annoyed me!

That's nothing. Only Agrael's heroes desert; other heroes don't. In the second mission of the expansion, heroes desert (there are only two of them). True, not every turn. And elves shoot you in the back when you leave the road. However, I passed that mission easily, so there's nothing to discuss about it, especially in the original topic. I only brought up an example from the expansion to say that things can be even worse.
