Posts from Warlock – “Cultist” [Campaign 4, Mission 3]
In the first 3 days, capture the first 2 castles.
Then, with one of the heroes, stay at the base and capture all the mines.
Standard troops are sufficient for this.
With the second hero, buy as many Minotaurs as possible and head to other castles. In 2 weeks (from the start of the mission), you can capture 4 castles.
When capturing every 2 castles, a red hero will appear. He simply heads to a specific city of yours, each time to a different one, so you don't need to intercept him; instead, determine where he's going and wait in the castle.
Then, simply gather an army – it doesn't necessarily need to be large (I didn't build any dragons at all) – and go capture the remaining cities.
Each time you capture 2 castles, a red hero will appear. He simply heads towards one of your cities, each time a different one.
Above, I described how I completed this level – the red hero appeared for the first time when I captured the first two castles, then I gave up those two castles and captured the remaining five. When I returned to capture the first two castles (I even managed to capture one of them), the red hero appeared again: confused:
During the first month, I upgraded and armed only the main hero. And, mostly, I just moved back and forth between two castles. Later, when the strongest enemies were defeated, I started buying an army for a second hero and left him on guard... while I moved further... since logistics were at maximum, no one managed to escape... By that time, I was already level 24, and the enemies I encountered had only a one-week army... In general, the biggest problem was a lack of money :) There are... so many armies in the cities... but they are difficult to buy.. so I didn't buy any until an enemy approached some city...
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
I initially played the pirated version. Yesterday, I bought the licensed version, installed service packs up to 1.3, and loaded the save before taking the last city – the result is the same!
What should I do? I really don't want to replay the whole thing – I also need to work sometimes.
You'll laugh, but you'll have to redo this mission. When installing patches, you have to restart the last mission you completed, otherwise, you'll simply be kicked out of the game or experience what you just described. If you really can't be bothered to do it all over again: uninstall the patches back to the version you used when completing this mission. Complete it, reinstall the patches, and you'll be happy!;)
I replayed it, smashed three red ones, leveled up the heroes to level 25-26, took all the Castles, I was congratulated with "mission complete," and then I found myself in the main menu.
All of this happened after buying the Russian version and applying patches up to 1.3. I chose "restart mission," completed it, and the result was the same.
Please share a save at 1(собака)mgr.ru
I have neither the desire nor the possibility to start the game over :-(

This was all done after purchasing the Russian version and applying patches up to version 1.3. I selected "start the mission again," replayed it, and the result was the same.

PEOPLE! Give me a SAVE! Don't be stingy!
Where does the hero get the "Town Portal" spell on this map?
Last time I played, I somehow acquired it, but I forgot where.
in the city, when you build the magic tower to at least level 3
Added after 1 hour 56 minutes
Found it!!!
It is given in the Dragon Utopia as a reward :-)
