I started playing this mission in version 3.0. There are many alternative neutral creatures. I hoped that the parts of composite artifacts would be saved. They are not. In the previous mission, I obtained the Lion's Collar, but it's not here. And that's right (IMO). After all, saving artifacts is a campaign script, not a feature of the version.

Ielts, in which version and on what difficulty level are you playing? In version 3.0, whether it's my daughter on Recruit or me on Hero, there are no money or resources at the start. The only difference is the number of neutral creatures. And how much money and resources were given in version 1.x?
