Posts from "Escape to Salvation" - "Magnificent Retreat" [Campaign 4, Mission 4]

Kujin needs to be retrained in the 4th mission of the Orc campaign. If you don't have any saved games, you'll need to replay one scenario. That's what I did. In version 3.0, Kujin stops just like other heroes. And all of this has already been discussed on previous pages.

Kujin retrained, everything is fine, I stopped him, took some Cyclops from Gotay, and sent the rest UP – so that the meat wouldn't go to waste:smile13:

My Gotai was leveled up about 4-5 levels higher than Kujin. By frantically clicking on the hero icon, I managed to stop the girl and then give her troops to Gotai. Although, as practice showed, with his horde of cyclops, he didn't even need all the troops.

If Kujin has been retrained, why stop her?
There is no need to replay the last mission as Gotay.
The trick of stopping heroes won't work in 3.1. Also, in 3.1, Gotay doesn't have 900 cyclops.
In version 3.0, I completed the game several times with a hero, and one of the options was: I defeated Biara with orcish troops controlled by Kujin (she was better trained), bringing them out of the dungeon.

I have version 3.0, but I still can't stop Kujin. I click on her, but the computer doesn't respond. The cursor turns into an hourglass. She starts her speech and rushes towards the castle, and then heroically dies. I've replayed it about 5 times already. I also tried pressing the spacebar. Do I need to click immediately as soon as she appears? Maybe I should change the player's movement speed on the map? They move around like crazy...

Damn! It worked! I reduced the player's speed on the map, and I was able to stop them! If you can't stop their helpers in version 3.0, reduce the speed to the minimum, and it will work!

you won't stop Kujin; she will lose, but the mission will still be successful. Kujin will leave a small army for the demons and survive, and Gotai, with a very powerful army of 900 Cyclops, will finish off the tiny group.

the scariest thing will be that Ilay will lose. We stop Ilay.

I stopped Ilay, and the port is working. I sent Zehira to Biara; Zehira had the same army as Biara.

everything is fine; the mission is won. I'm waiting for the new patch for Heroes 5.

don't do those extra quests where you have to free the Dark Mistresses; you'll lose half your army, and the flying city should be placed after Gotai destroys the demons.

It’s a pity that Arantir didn’t participate in this mission; I leveled him up so diligently that he reached level 29.

Good people, please tell me, if I kill Biara before meeting Gothai, will the mission be completed, or will I still have to finish playing as Kujin and Ilay? I don't really want to fight with Kujin. A stupid script put a Dragon Crown on him instead of a hat, which gives +2 luck/+2 morale, but it's not needed at all. Now his luck is -2, which is not good. Added after 19 hours and 22 minutes I'm answering my own question: Yes, the mission is completed after taking the Claw. If you rush, it all ends on the third week. I didn't rush, so the Claw fell on 1-4-1. I took Shadow Lords (there weren't many of them - 89) and four stacks of gremlins of 50 each (approximately). Zehir, level 30, with Spell Power. The enemy's ballista is under control. We control the demoness and defeat them. Then Control + Blindness do the trick. It turned out that neither Archdevils nor Archdemons could summon. Archdemons - because they were almost immediately destroyed, Archdevils - stood under blindness for almost the entire battle, and then the remaining Cave Lords were finished under Control. In the end - Summon and Chaos. I messed up with Resurrection: I should have put a mark on the Shadow Lords. Then it would have been almost without losses. In short, I even started to feel sorry for Biara.

I couldn't defeat Ilay (I tried 100 times, but I couldn't win; there are too many succubi, and they quickly eliminate the archers). I simply directed Zehir towards Talongard and managed to stop Ilay. Zehir's army is the same size as Biara's, but it has about 90 titans.

Guys, I don't have any reinforcements for the Claw; what should I do?:confused:

And why didn't they appear? Maybe because Kujin died.

I thought that Martians probably wouldn't visit me. Someone here wrote that they "played so much that they saw green devils"). Exactly, and I was thinking the same thing. Hooray, a Martian finally appeared!

I read that some people wanted to stop heroes who are rushing towards castles at high speed, and I found a way to do it. Before jumping into a one-way portal, reduce the movement speed of all creatures to the minimum in the game settings. Then, as many have already said here, click on the hero's icon and then press the spacebar. This makes it quite easy to stop even 2 heroes, even without having a particularly powerful computer. Maybe this tip already exists, but I didn't read the entire thread. :) I came to this thread to confirm that this mission in "Tribes of the East" is the last one. The game crashed in Windows at the very end. I completed this mission without any special tricks, but it wasn't easy. :)

Thank you to the creators of the site and its participants! Some missions in Heroes 5 and Tribes of the East are very difficult (Hammers of Fate are easy even on the hardest difficulty). Without hints (and the hope that these missions can actually be completed), I would have abandoned this game long ago.

I'm about to give up... This Frida is killing me!!!
Let me describe the situation. I haven't been able to beat Frida for 2 weeks! The most I can achieve is leaving 7 Lords or 10 Knights alive. I recently read that you can stop a hero. Okay, I stopped her. She and Duncan have NO artifacts!!! I made Duncan march to the Gnome. At first, seeing 36 Arcane Archers, 100 Mages, and a full set of Gnome Armor, I was happy, but then I found out that you can't transfer an army or artifacts! "You can only give your own." If you leave the cave and go to the surface, you can't go back. WHAT TO DO?!
P.S. Duncan is more developed, but his luck, ballista, and 4th level compare to Frida's Vengeance. Accordingly, the result is the same.

Perhaps you don't have enough troops (or you lost too many before), or Frida's skills aren't leveled up properly (or not enough)...

No argument! There aren't enough troops! So, where can I get them?! Should I transfer 20 peasants from Duncan?! Frida isn't leveled up – I agree. Duncan is leveled up. But, as I already wrote, even he can't handle the demons. Don't think that I'm a newbie and can't handle a couple of demons. It's just that the balance is completely not thought out. And there's no one to send as reinforcements! It's a dead end, basically...:smile17:

In terms of losing a lot of troops? You appeared with one army – attack with that army!:smile14:

That's it... it's over... I have no more strength...:smile34: Another question. If I give up on this Castle, can I continue the game in normal mode?
