This is very interesting! Could you elaborate? Regarding the difficulty on Recruit.

Yes, I agree :) More difficult on Recruit? That's utter nonsense :) This can only happen in the case of some kind of glitch, when the difficulty level intended for Recruit is somehow replaced with the difficulty level for Veteran, and vice versa. But these are isolated cases.

My friend is playing through the campaigns on Recruit difficulty. He sometimes encounters glitches that I have never experienced. However, this only applies to the vanilla campaigns. He hasn't reached "World of Xeen" yet. In my opinion, the campaigns in "World of Xeen" are easier than those in the vanilla game and "The Restoration of Erathia". He completed all of them on Hero difficulty on his first try.

regarding the Recruit difficulty...:D
If you've ever compared the difficulty levels, you might remember that they greatly affect not only the amount of starting resources but also the armies, including the neutral creatures encountered along the way...
The armies on Recruit are very small, which leads to two unfortunate consequences:
1. Experience is gained very slowly. Although this isn't a huge problem, the "level cap reached" message still pops up... although it takes a long time to reach it. On Veteran, it appears when only half, or even a quarter, of the map has been explored. :mad: Yes... the armies of neutral creatures are very small, but this definitely doesn't apply to the final battle...:smile13: There, the hero is usually well-equipped, and he cleans up the map for you, which is very helpful after constantly having to "surrender, guard duty!"
2. The number of neutral creatures that join you is much smaller than you'd like... And I have a habit, dating back to Heroes 3, of maximizing diplomacy whenever possible...
Initially, I played the missions on Warrior, but then, when my computer crashed and I had to start all over again, I decided to cheat and rush through on Recruit (to finish faster)... As a result, I ended up playing on Veteran:smile13: For some reason, it seemed easier...
Yes... anticipating the laughter...:D. The third time, I'll try to play on Hero. I'm just looking for the optimal build...

Even though there are fewer neutral creatures on Recruit difficulty, each killed unit grants more experience, so the overall experience gain is roughly the same.

That's true, but experience is still gained faster on the hero than on a regular unit. At least in campaigns. I haven't played much on other difficulty levels, so I can't compare them.

Definitely: most missions are much harder to complete with a hero than with a regular unit.

I have a question: for Wolfenstein, should I take "Magic of Light" or "Education" for the last skill slot? I've already fully upgraded Chaos, Defense, Logistics, and Machines. I want to take a super ability (maybe later), but in mission 5, on the last (29th) level, they offer either Light or Education?

IMHO, the light at the end is more useful. For example, you can cast a spell to give slow Gnomes speed or a punishing strike, and if you cast Stone Skin, it will be a headache for the enemies. :) I think the Rune cooldown when it's created will be not very effective, because at high levels, the hero usually doesn't lack mana.

Light, definitely... Resurrection + resurrection rune = almost a whole army.

I understand, but I was hoping to get a super ability, and if I choose the "light" path at level 29, will I not get it?

In principle, it doesn't really matter, but I would choose education, because a ~30 bonus to primary skills will be quite significant.

I understand, but I was hoping to get a super ability, and if I take "light" at level 29, I probably won't get it?

In the original campaign, playing as the Demons, I took "education" for Agrael before getting the super ability, but it didn't prevent me from getting it on the next level. So, I guess they will give it to you.

Hello everyone! Can you please tell me how to complete the "Honor Our Fathers" campaign, mission 2? I've captured 3 cities, and now I need to go to the 4th. There's no way to get there by land or sea. My hero is Kujin, please help!

stanis-s Well, firstly, the question is not relevant to this topic...
Secondly, Kujin should go around the city (clockwise) -
and enter the water; she should have a "spell"
Summon Ship - and sail down to the last city.

Help!!!! I can't handle it anymore!!! I've tried everything!!! I have this problem!!! The game is a licensed version...

In the Hammers of Fate add-on.... the dilemma of Frida... the mission "Negotiations"...
when I leave the Dwarf Castle after the cutscene and Laslo appears... the game freezes and the loading icon keeps spinning... I tried installing patch 2.1...
a message appears... "Insert disk"... even though the disk is already in the drive!!!!

I've been struggling with this for a month... I really want to play:smile33:

Auuu!!!! Is anyone there?
