Posts from Ranger "Refugees" - [5th campaign, 1st mission]

Greetings.

What exactly ends the mission?
I've been grinding it for 3 days now :(

All the border posts are mine, and they have good guards...
If you put VERY good guards on the posts, the enemy starts running around gathering an army but doesn't attack...
If you leave weak guards, the enemy attacks, naturally retakes the post, and a side mission appears to liberate it.
I liberate it — the side mission is finished...
But what about the main ones???

Because, as far as I understand, the enemy doesn't attack a post until they have gathered a sufficient army for victory...
If a hero with a strong army is standing near the post, the enemy does not attack it...

Maybe there's some kind of trick?
And what exactly needs to be done in this mission?

Stand next to the medium-sized garrison, remove the troops from the castle, and weaken the other garrisons. After that, the Inferno hero Brianna should appear, running towards your castle; chase her and defeat her. P.S. Actually, you should search for the answer first. This is the fourth time this mission with the same question has come up.

Alan, thank you.
And sorry, I guess I didn't search properly.

Hello.
I struggled with the same issue until I installed the licensed version.
If you have the licensed version, then read the tips. (there are about three things that helped me):)
Good luck.:cool:

Hmm... what if it's not a licensed copy?

Try not to worry too much about the posts. That is, don't increase the difficulty and set the minimum difficulty to 2. Then the computer will seem to be attacking more, and maybe Biara will appear. Another option... Try to kill all the Inferno creatures on the map (on your territory).

Hmm... it's funny that if you make the main hero stand in the middle gate, the enemy runs to their castle and stands there without moving...

Now I'll start slaughtering creatures...

Added after 5 hours and 42 minutes
Still can't get the stone flower...

If I do it the way Alan suggests, after weakening the garrisons, the enemy takes 2 of them in one turn - the result is disastrous =(

I killed the Inferno creatures - it's useless...

Could buying a license solve the problem?
I rarely play... I'm just feeling nostalgic =))
It's still annoying...

If it's not a licensed copy, then you'll just have to keep banging your head against the wall. (That's what happened to me).

Once again, I'll say that I'm playing the licensed version of the game, and I haven't encountered any of the problems that were mentioned in numerous forum threads. So, go ahead and buy it.

ok, thanks everyone :)
I already deleted it though :cool:

... not in this lifetime...

Did Secvy at least leave them behind?
The license (I have) prevents them from working with the pirated version.
Just make sure to load the very first one – the one that’s followed by the cutscene about Nicholas’s resurrection. Good luck. (Save files are in the “My Documents” folder). :cool:

I'll tell you how I completed this mission on the Hero difficulty level.
Russian version + patch 1.1

In general, there was only one problem, and her name was Biara.

At the beginning, I developed peacefully until I captured the first border outpost (in my case, it was the second one, looking from left to right). After that, I moved my main hero to the left of the Castle, captured mines and stat-boosting locations (at that time, I didn't know that losing a border outpost was unacceptable; I thought I needed to lose them all), but I simply went down and retook my outpost. After that, they captured my 5th outpost, and then, after some time, Biara appeared with an incredibly strong army. After capturing my second outpost, I returned to the Castle, took all the troops, except for a few Dancers (I took several of them) and Fairies, and this is where the climax of the playthrough begins. With my main hero, I run to the middle outpost, and with the other hero, to the 4th outpost. With my main hero, I take all the troops there (they can't be transferred, but you can exchange them for some of your own, so I exchanged them for one Dancer per slot) and run to the 4th outpost, where the second hero does the same, taking the army there. Slightly above the 4th outpost, there is a creature upgrade location, which I used, getting a total of 4 creature slots (without Fairies and Dancers).
After Biara appears, the main quest of guarding the border is marked as completed (you can now ignore the outposts), and a new quest appears: to destroy the demons. After upgrading the army, we run towards the Castle (Biara is also running there), and I tried both defending in the Castle and simply catching up with her on the way (at that time, you could still visit a stat-boosting location along the way), and that's it; with such an army, it's easy to defeat Biara.

Gentlemen! I have a licensed DVD from 1C. First, I conquered the mines and killed everyone on the map. Then I gathered an army, positioned myself at the second outpost (on the left), and waited for the Necromancer to attack – I defeated him. But nothing happens next! I tried weakening all the outposts, moving the hero away from the border, and removing troops from the city – my actions only affect the activity of the turquoise player! Biara doesn't appear! What should I do? (...and who is to blame?)

I played this mission today. At first, there were a couple of Turquoise attacks on my outposts, but I repelled them. Then, Turquoise attacked one of my outposts and took it over. I ran to recapture it, and Turquoise ran to capture another weakened garrison. I took the outpost back and ran towards the middle of the border where the enemy was heading. A Barbarian attacked the middle outpost, and I was nearby. Before the attack, I moved my army to the outpost and combined it with the garrison's army into one when the demoness attacked. I defeated her without any problems. But I still don't understand the connection between the Barbarian's attacks and the condition of the garrisons.

EFA, is it worth installing at least the first patch? They made a lot of changes in it regarding the correct execution of scripts.
