Some players don't experience these glitches; my friends didn't have them either, but I did. I completed all missions and tasks in the game, gathered 20 dragons, but the darn portal still wouldn't let me through! I figured it might be a typo by the developers and decided to gather 200 dragons (I tried to pass with ghostly dragons both times), but the evil portal still wouldn't let me through... Since I had completed everything and gathered a huge army, I felt justified in entering the code to win the mission.

I think the latest patches fixed this bug. -patch:smile30:bug-

Well, the computer probably won't notice. Although it does build up its army faster. The main thing, as Sneg said, is to capture 2 initial mines, and also the one that is important specifically for your race (for example: demons - sulfur, elves - gems). And you also need to give your hero a decent starting army, i.e., take troops from the second hero. To be honest, I've never built buildings for troops on the first turn. I should try it, although the mines can be captured with the armies of two heroes.

If this is about the 3.3 campaign, see the corresponding topic. Only recruited dragons count. Purchased ones do not.

I have 2 questions.

1 is probably a common one, but I can't find the answer. Unlike other games I've played, there's no help section in Heroes (or maybe I just don't have it).
The point is: how do you move only part of the troops to garrisons and other mines? For example, there's a scenario where you need to bring a hero with a certain number of units to a tent. I've calculated the number, but how do I make sure there are exactly that many? Or, if I want to leave, say, 2 dragons in a garrison, but I have 5 of them?

2. Why does Faidaen need phoenixes if they're useless (in the last mission)? Wouldn't it be easier to just build up the army?

2nd question. Why does Faidaen need phoenixes if they are of no use (in the last mission)? Wouldn't it be easier to just build up the army?

1 answer. If you want to split the troops, just press the SHIFT key, then left-click on the unit you want to separate and, without releasing the mouse button, drag it to the empty slot you need! I think the rest is clear!
2 answer. Phoenixes are needed so that Nicholas with his large undead army doesn't attack Faidaen! Faidaen shines with the Phoenixes, and Nicholas runs away from him, although he can pass his army to one of the other necromancers, and then you will have to fight! But it is not necessary to get the phoenixes! You can complete the mission without them!:)
I have answered your questions! If you have any more, ask and I will answer!;)

Thank you, 3DogMZA! I'll try to address the splitting issue in the evening, after work. Regarding Faelan and Phoenixes. I assembled a large army, and it was a pity to remove the Death Dancers to make room for 5 poor Phoenixes! I immediately went to Nicholas and lost because I thought these Phoenixes were super warriors! Of course, I saved the game. The second time, I didn't take the Phoenixes, gathered more strength, rushed into battle, and won, defeating Nicholas in his castle. Then I played the game on a higher difficulty level, and I took the Phoenixes, and somehow won easily. Too easily. This led to the question... For now, that's all. If anything else comes up, I'll definitely ask! :))

with each battle, they give units that increase the hero's level; there's a feature to pursue and then leave them alone – the question is: does the number of units given differ depending on which option you choose?

Nope. It's better to attack fleeing enemies. Unless, of course, in a campaign, the hero reaches the maximum level, then we leave them.

A tricky question: what to do with mission 3, the Necromancer campaign in Heroes 5? To enter the portal, you need to gather 20 bone dragons, but I have 30 (300, 300, 21, ...) and it doesn't work?
Simple answer: It won't work. This is a bug. The fix is: 1. Patch 2. You need to have 20 dragons BEFORE capturing the last city. At the same time, the main hero should not enter cities to hire them. It is possible to gather the necessary number on the territory, but if it was not possible to save them, you have to hire heroes in the cities and bring the dragons to the main hero who is languishing in the desert (his name seems to be Markel). And also: there should be 20 dragons, no more, remove the excess.

I've been wondering about something for a while now... How is the damage dealt by a melee or ranged attack calculated for a unit? I mean, what's the formula? And accordingly, how important are the attack and defense parameters? I tried to figure out the formula myself, but I just couldn't, and it's driving me crazy... :(

All formulas are available in the player's manual: http://heroes.ag.ru/heroes5/advices/
For the Tribes of the East, this manual can be found in the game's folder (I don't remember the folder name, as I created a shortcut and forgot).

I saw a DVD of Heroes 5 Limited Edition on Amazon. What is it? How does it differ from the regular edition?

If this is version 1.0, then I have the Limited edition, but honestly, I haven't noticed any difference. Well, if it's version 1.0.

I have a question that's been bothering me – there are a lot of websites with maps and campaigns, but how do I put them in the correct folder so I can play them? I have Tribes of the East.
