Hello, I need help with completing the Alexander campaign - Minor Asia (the 3rd in order), 1st mission - Hellespont. The victory condition is to capture all cities. I captured all of them (8), but the script doesn't trigger the transition to the 2nd mission. Is this a broken mission? I entered the cheat code - Valhalla for an automatic win. Does the game penalize you for using cheats, like in the 3rd part, by giving you a lower final rank?

Added after 3 hours and 53 minutes
Next, the 2nd mission. Quests: only Morgan can complete them, and you need to find the password for the tower at the green portal, behind which is the pink tent of the keymaster. How do I complete them? 80% of the map is explored, there is no dungeon, and where do I get the password?

Does the game penalize you for using cheats, like in the 3rd part, affecting the final rank?

It was often said that pirated versions are broken. Alexander either has a broken first scenario, and there was some campaign, they said that in the second scenario, when playing with only one unit, there is also no tent; I'm not sure if it's Alexander.

Cheat codes are penalized, but nowadays, I wouldn't play for points, especially in old pirated games.

As far as I remember, you enter a cheat code to get 0 points for the map, but you can still earn points in other maps of that campaign. I don't know about Heroes of Might and Magic III. I had a similar situation in a Barbarian campaign, I think it was a vanilla one, where you had to kill all the enemies. I cleared the entire map, turned off the fog of war, and there was no one left, but the game didn't understand that there was no one left. I got frustrated and entered the Valhalla cheat code.
In general, after my experience with the Bughesda games, cheat codes are a real tool for me to complete the game. Sometimes, you can't do without them, because the problem might not be with your skills, but with the developers >_> And Heroes of Might and Magic IV is also a bit buggy, although not to the level of the Elder Scrolls or Fallout. Again, comparing it to Bughesda, there are bugs on top of bugs in unofficial add-ons and mods, and bugs chase bugs, I think the same is true for Heroes of Might and Magic IV (although I don't complain about Equilibris, and besides it, I may have only played a couple of amateur maps a long time ago).

А, вот почему.

The responses seem a bit weak. Are there no fans of the Heroes 4 fan campaign? Listen, and here's another issue – I've included the file. There are 2 outposts with low-level creatures, and a bridge guarded by 47 knights. Do I have to spend another 4 months building up an army to break through? Was this campaign developed by some idiot?! There's no walkthrough by Alex on YouTube, and even when using a VPN to access the English version, there isn't one.
