I'm also sacrificing precious sleep time to join in. Coffee is keeping me going.
Go for it, buddy, beat everyone here... :D

This is a bit much, I barely managed to get one point :) I leveled up an unnecessary hero. I messed up with the digging. For some reason, I completed one quest.
:D Days! Count the days! A week is seven days. A month is 28! How many in total?

Yes, there's no point in dragging things out.
14 long days and nights...
Did you find the DD? Where? And I bet the Hat was an admiral's hat, just in case... How else could it be? ;)

Hero Malcolm (diplomacy expert, level 6 + pathfinding).
Supporting hero Lord Haart (the one who is alive), he has diplomacy expert level 5. Haart has a good set of skills including diplomacy, pathfinding, and navigation, but with this setup, it will take a long time to reach expert diplomacy.

I'm feeling uninspired, I don't feel like writing... - 32 days, so the main hero is Uland :D (don't even ask why...)
When I wanted to replay, I chose this hero. I got tired of it and realized I didn't have enough time to start over. I went back to the option with Kire. He's bad because, unlike Uland, this jerk starts by leveling up Navigation - when it's not needed at the beginning, and then Diplomacy. Later, I still recruited a second seafarer when I figured out the problem why he wasn't progressing - it was Voy. He has both a Navigation specialty and a Navigation skill that levels up in 3-4 attempts. Then I also recruited Gem to move the boat back: Kire sailed to the other side in one turn, Gem returned the boat, and Voy boarded it. On the next turn, he sent all the troops and climbed out there himself to help clear some pockets for Kire in the battle so as not to waste extra troops in the fight. In short, I messed things up :)

:D Days! Count days instead! A week is seven days. A month is 28! How much is that in total?
That's exactly three weeks - 21 days.

Yes, I didn't find any diplomats earlier... :( Mine were at level six and seven - I had to simply wander around the respawn for leveling up, a lot of time was wasted... Alright, decision made, I need to improve scouting... :)

There was a cool feature here: gargoyles can be recruited for money, and not a small amount, but if they are already in a unit, they can be recruited for free – how interesting...

Yes, I didn't find diplomats early enough... :( Mine were at level 6 and 7 - I just had to explore the map to level them up, and a lot of time was wasted... Okay, I've decided that I need to develop scouting... :)

Here, scouting is the key to all scouting: I had to "sort through" all the heroes. Without scouting, I would have been completely lost.
There were many diplomats, but I needed to find one who could reach expert diplomacy early on, plus have either logistics or pathfinding right away. I couldn't find any with logistics.

Well, basically - one of the features of diplomacy... Gargoyles in a unit give +10% loyalty, that's why it's free...

My Uland received an expert diploma at level 6, I think, but the result is still bad...

That's understandable... I only went through the Haven heroes... At most, they can increase their diplomacy, I didn't touch the others... But you're amazing! It's a pity that Van Caneghem didn't create many heroes in "Heroes," right? ;)

Haart has a good set of skills including Diplomacy, Pathfinding, and Navigation, but with this setup, it takes a long time to reach expert-level Diplomacy.
For the report, please upload the save file before joining Gargon here. I'd like to see what they might surrender on the second week. My army composition was as follows on the third week during scouting:
Snakes Up = 18
Basilisks Up = 17
Hydras = 4
Pegasi Up = 36
Wyverns Up = 8
Gargoyles Up = 12
Sorcerer = 1

I tried removing one slot (except for the Sorcerer) - no luck - the bastards didn't surrender.

A diplomat doesn't give anything here. The land around is "penalized." Ideally, pathfinding + logistics (related to diplomacy) should have been found.

Before Gargonn, you still needed to recruit Wyvern Monarchs - they are more "amenable."
