If you let them pass (I haven't been able to stop them even once), a yellow hero arrives with a "great" but modest army...
and I initially guarded the "road" to the north with a mercenary and a decent army, and then I deliberately left it so that the messengers would escape; it's more interesting that way... The yellow hero came from the west, and Railag caught up with him and defeated him without much trouble. At the very bottom of the map, slightly to the left, is the entrance to the dungeon with the obelisk. I've been digging up the tear several times on the road from the city on the right at the bottom; the road leads upwards to "Dragon Utopia," somewhere in the middle of the map (in terms of height), but on the road. I should try for fun not to let the "messengers" pass and see what happens... Otherwise, I'll have to wait for the "orc" add-on... :smile03:

I am primarily interested in whether there is a key (key combination) that returns the camera to its default position?
The Home key.:) It's very simple.

I want to share a general tip regarding the "Warlock" campaign...
after one of the battles, I was offered a skill that was something like
"PLAGUE WARD"... I recommend everyone take it.
in battles, when the "ward" is activated, it not only revives and heals
your units, but also infects one of the enemy units with a plague,
which is very useful...

"PLAGUE TENT" ... I recommend everyone take it.
In battles, when the "tent" is in play, it not only revives and heals
your units, but also infects one of the enemy units
with plague, which is very useful...
This is a very rare ability; it only appeared once for me in the entire game.

Regarding the Tear. I also have an unpatched version, so the hero's path is displayed. For everyone who is so "lucky" (or unlucky?), finding the Tear is easy. But I noticed that it often appears at busy intersections and generally in easily accessible places. In "Expansion," I found the Tear twice in the same location (I was playing on different difficulty levels) - at the intersection near the lower right entrance to the dungeon. So, even though it is generated randomly, the number of places where it can be buried is limited?

By the way, it was terribly disappointing - I taught Shadia everything I could, pampered and cherished her, and she turned out to be a Bear!

In the patched version, it's essential to teach Shadia everything you can and nurture her. :) If you don't do this in the 2nd mission, it will be very difficult to complete the 3rd mission with that hero. In version 1.5, the second enemy attacks the castle at night. I think it's the same in 1.6. Mana doesn't have time to regenerate. Therefore, Railag might not have enough. My Shadia defeated 120 Fury units (without losses) and eliminated the first enemy. Railag then dealt with the second. And you can easily find the Tear even in the patched game. The main thing is to return the camera to its original position.

Even in the patched game, the Tear can be easily found. The main thing is to return the camera to its original position.

So, will the hero's path also be visible on the mini-map?

The path isn't visible, but with the camera oriented correctly, I never had any problems with the Tear. The problems arose when I didn't know how to return it to its original position.

Before starting the walkthrough, I read up on the tavern and the heroes I had previously defeated. It made things so much easier – I took down two strong heroes and then hired them. As a result, the remaining heroes were of a much lower level. And overall, it wasn't difficult. I emerged, took down a few enemies, hired a new hero, collected tribute, reinforced my main hero's army, and defeated many more before even taking the first castle. And when they mentioned messengers, I rushed all my heroes in different directions, and Rai'lag caught some mage. He gave me a hard time, but I still had enough troops left to defeat two more heroes and take a castle. I quickly dealt with all the castles. All that's left is to reach the last obelisk and dig up that thing. I already see that it will be somewhere near a double mountain. I don't have any specific guesses about its location yet.
And I actually like the trajectory highlighting. It adds character to the hero.

Yeah, finding the tear in this mission is quite a challenge... The image didn't match the location at all. No matter how I rotated the camera, it just didn't look like the right place... either it's completely unrecognizable...!
I only found the tear by blindly digging through the entire map... :( Defeating the enemies was much easier.

It's all very similar :) I had a similar issue with an Ashan map. There was a small lake, only one cell in size, and I mistook it for a tree crown (both sway slightly). It took me a couple of hours to realize my mistake – the lake sways vertically, while the tree crowns sway horizontally.

I've completed almost all the campaigns of the original game and both expansions (currently playing the second-to-last mission). I haven't encountered a single situation where, with the CORRECT camera angle, the image doesn't match the terrain. I always find the excavation site within a minute.

In the beginning of the topic, they wrote that they couldn't find the red key. You have a bug; this key is located in a tent near the lake. It's red, not pink! Behind that tower, you'll find: 1) boots behind the air elementals, 2) a two-way portal behind the fire elementals; it leads to a place surrounded by mountains. There are chests, gold, a tower of elementals (I recommend going there; you'll get gold and 6 of each resource), and a building where you can hire water elementals!

According to the scenario, the map is several decades old, so it will never be identical to the location; time has changed things. You need to think about it. If there's a stone, look for it first. As for a tree or bush, it might not have been there at all back then.

In my map, there's a tear lying at a crossroads; it's a unique crossroads, and I found it without any trouble. I also don't have the key, but I really want to get there; I just need wings from the previous mission.

I just started playing this mission in version 3.0. I don't remember which key is needed. There's one key in the dungeon near the prophet. In version 1.5, there were no problems with the keys.
