In the Dark Elf Castle, there won't be high-level creatures, so it can only be used as a source of gold. And, of course, you can try to move the Tear to Zephyr's Castle. An increase in Giants won't hurt.
New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?
What exactly are you talking about? The city of mages in the third mission can be summoned.
You could complete the Campaigns with all the story heroes and all the races in Tribes of the East and in the original game. "With a set of useless skills" - the skills are normal, and the battles are completed without any problems (difficulty level - Hero). Besides, Kujin, Wulfsten, and Frida are leveled up by the player.
How is this weaker? They didn't let you level up Ilia? (although there's only one battle for her there). And regarding the new features, Tribes of the East is much better than the previous installments.
