Posts from Attack Skill +1 или Basic Archery?

I have a bit of a problem here :) I play the Price of Loyalty campaign (though not very often), and the missions sometimes seem strangely ordered, with later missions being easier than the previous ones... So, I'm playing the sixth mission, and I chose 3 knights in golden armor as a bonus. But a little further away, a Barbarian is fighting a Warlock. The Barbarian is very strong, and even if I defeat him, he still has another hero and castles. Even if I manage to take a castle, I'm defeated by another Barbarian hero from his neighboring castle. So, I guess I need to defeat the Warlock first? But they're right next to each other... or maybe I should harass the Barbarian so they fight each other, and then swoop in like a vulture, haha! As a bonus, I also have some armor and an alliance with the Elves. In the first week, I can only manage to build stables; there aren't enough crystals to build Paladins.

I'm not entirely sure, but if this is what I think it is, you should take a different approach. Is your goal in this mission to acquire one of the Anduran artifacts? If so, you need to cross the sea to the Necromancer's castle and capture it with the help of these elves. To do this, you need to find a scroll with the spell "spatial gate/teleport/dimension door" and find a point from which you can jump to the Necromancer's island.

You need to capture a helmet, it seems. Moreover, the mission description says that we won't have time to conquer everyone and we need to seize everything we come across.

Here are some pictures to make it easier for you to navigate (3 pictures: description, beginning, statistics at the beginning of the mission).

I can't seem to complete it... there is no Warlock there, only Barbarians. There is a relatively weak yellow Barbarian, but they all manage to build up quite well and acquire a lot of troops before I arrive... I captured the yellow Barbarian, waited for him to leave the Castle, and captured his Castle. Then, the red Barbarian arrived with his troops and an attack of 9 (I have a defense of 8 with an artifact) and captured that Castle... and there are still several red Castles, all nearby and quite strong.

The Barbarians are very strong... even if you recruit dragons.
I recruited dragons when I decided to explore the island to find a short distance to the second island, but where can I get the teleportation spell (if you build a guild, will it even appear?), in the nearby huts, there is only Vision to find out the location (loyalty) of the monsters and Fireball.
And one more thing. If it's not easy with dragons, how can I break through there without dragons? In principle, it can be done in the first week, but it's not possible to build Crusaders there, and the Barbarians attack if you approach them

So, the main thing is mobility.
The goal of this stage is to capture Anduran's helmet.
The helmet is located in the Necromancer's castle on the island to the right.
The path to the island is through Dimension Door magic (teleport, spatial gate).
The location of the magic is at the top, above the Barbarian castle on the left, behind a barrier; there lies a scroll with the spell.
The password for the barrier is next to the starting castle on the right.
In the Necromancer's castle, they will "greet" us. After jumping to the island, you should leave 4 squads in your army and add 1-2 squads of Elves.
If desired, and if you have enough gold and free space for another squad, you can also buy Elementals along the way to the Necromancer's castle.
Have a good game!

You need to acquire a helmet, I think. Moreover, the mission description states that we won't have time to conquer everyone and need to seize everything we come across.

I don't remember for sure, but I think I completed this mission like that.
I ignored the Barbarian castles, built up my own completely, and then ran past the Barbarians to the Warlock with only my own army. Maybe there were some other tricks, but I don't remember. There's a teleport scroll somewhere. Again, I don't remember exactly where. I defeated the Warlock without any problems with my own army in about 3-4 weeks. The result isn't ideal, but it's something. In general, you could probably do it even faster with the same scenario + capture a couple of Barbarian castles and buy out their treasury. The Barbarians are also killable, in principle, but it's too much of a hassle, so I just ignored them.

Well, while I was writing, Querty already answered and provided a more accurate solution...

Thank you. Should the main character be made a magic user, with a high Wisdom stat? Because, ideally, a Knight wouldn't be able to use this magic.
