Posts from Necromancer – “Invasion” [Campaign 3, Mission 3]

Need unupgraded, recruited dragons. Purchased ones won't work. Try clicking on the portal several times. In version 3.0, this helped me. Two patch options: 1. 1.6 cumulative + bug fix: http://forums.ag.ru/?board=heroes5&action=display&s=0&num=1192719850&start=125 (post 146) 2. 1.4 + 1.5. Official patches don't install properly on a disc made by incompetent pirates. If you decide to buy a license, I recommend buying Tribes of the East. It doesn't require the original game for installation. There is a mod that allows you to play all the campaigns of the original game and Tribes of the East in versions 3.0 and 3.1.

Thank you very much to everyone on the forum! Now I can say for sure that to pass through the portal as Sairus, you need exactly 20 dragons that have joined your army, not those bought in the castle! Otherwise, you won't be able to pass through the portal!

It doesn't have to be exactly 20. You can have more. I had over a hundred.

It's simple, I have the latest patches installed.
You need to enter the portal with exactly 20 Bone Dragons, no more, no less.
You can get Bone Dragons by taking Colossi from the mages and transforming them into Bone Dragons using a building in the Necropolis. Then (I'll tell you how it worked for me): a mage named Maahir attacks me. I traditionally beat him up, build a building for transforming units, transform the Colossi into Bone Dragons, and jump into the portal to find Cyrus. That's it, you've completed the mission.

If you play the mission with a hero who can summon dragons, there shouldn't be any problems. More than 100 dragons joined me. And I sent them all through the portal because I didn't use them in battles. Isabel carried them all the way to the end.

2Boris K: I jumped into the portal with 27 dragons (or thereabouts). Where am I supposed to get 100?

buy. The increase from four cities is simply amazing. But it's all in vain – in the next mission, there will definitely be twenty bone dragons, 900 skeletons, and a hundred archers.

2Siana: Boris K actually joined! He didn't clear the map completely (the time didn't allow it), but 100 dragons, even from the entire map, is just too overpowered. And to buy the growth bonus, you need time and money (I didn't have either).

P.S. I suggest we share all our results in this mission.

The number of dragons depends on the difficulty level. Also, their numbers increase in the same way as those of regular neutral creatures. Therefore, it is easy to gather a hundred of them for your hero. I had to stay longer in this mission because not all dark magic and summoning spells were available in the castles. I had to obtain them in the treasure chamber and the pyramid. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the hero to defeat a very well-leveled Godric.

I didn't focus too much on developing Godric, so he didn't cause any problems. And I cleared the entire map; all the towns (except for the last one) and mines belonged to me. :smile13:

A well-leveled Godrick will be very helpful in the 6th campaign. All my enemies were terrified of him and ran away, hiding in castles.

Yeah. That's where I started having problems...
I had to equip him with the best troops and artifacts – I barely managed to pull it off...

Perhaps it’s not very relevant anymore, but I played through the portal with enhanced dragons, not only those that were initially included but also those that were purchased separately. The version was 1.0, and the difficulty was set to Warrior.

Please help! I'm stuck on this mission. It's terrible! I keep getting killed in the first week, and I can't seem to escape the mages.

Instead of running away, you need to eliminate the mages. http://heroes.ag.ru/heroes5/campaigns/c3/m3/
