Posts from The most challenging campaign.

I played through all the campaigns on "hero" difficulty, and the second mission for the Elves seemed the most challenging; it had an incredibly difficult battle, and I had to replay it for about 2 hours... And of course, the third mission for the Warlocks was also very tough.

for elves, easy, self-made map, difficulty 5

I think the most difficult campaign for the Elves is "Lord of Vampires."
Someone says that the campaign for Relag is difficult, especially mission 3. I say there's nothing difficult here; I just went through it and tore them apart like a dog tears through a felt boot. The only thing that was a little difficult was when I first started playing and couldn't find the sawmill and the mine (I couldn't build anything). But once I found them, I passed it without any problems.

And it's also difficult to fight Gilren. But otherwise, everything is easy, and the campaign for Humans is like a walk in the park. I'm playing on difficulty level 1.0. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I found the mission for Markel to be the most challenging.

In "Heroes", I didn't finish the "Necromancer" campaign – the battle with Godric is really challenging. As for the most difficult campaign, it's "Ranger"; even on "Recruit" difficulty, missions 2, 3, and 5 are challenging.

The most difficult Days of Flame.

In my version of the game, the most challenging (tiring and lengthy) battle was against Godric (Antimagic, Divine Vengeance, and Mana Absorption Amulet) – one wrong move at the end, and the battle is lost.

The fifth campaign was challenging for me, especially the second mission.

Playing as Raileigh, when it was necessary to conquer the clan of the Sternhearts, with armies of 40 Hydras each – it was even more challenging than playing as Agrael against Ghilraen.

At first, the second mission for the Demon faction seemed difficult. But after changing my tactics 10 times, I managed to complete it in record time – 3-4 weeks, I don't remember exactly. And once I completed it, it seemed easy. The next time, I encountered an obstacle in the third mission for the Dark Elf faction – conquering the Clan of the Grim Heart. I couldn't complete it and put the game aside for two years. After struggling for 10 hours, I found the right tactic – I replayed it and completed it. And the last mission – the moment where you have to defeat Kha-Beleth. I didn't immediately realize that Raileigh had a ballista. Because of this elf, I kept losing (the archers were quickly eliminated), but once I removed the ballista, it was easy (an upgraded ballista and Chaos magic – minus 15 archdevils per turn). So, I stumbled three times. I played through it with a hero, of course. I started on version 1.0, then uninstalled it and started again with version 1.5. In reality, once you've completed it once, the campaigns seem easy because you can repeat it easily. But I enjoyed the game. I had to think. The most challenging campaign was from Heroes of Might and Magic III. Now I can finally play through the Hammers of Fate.

The most difficult one is the Triumvirate. There, two players will come with overwhelmingly powerful armies, and it's impossible to win.

The most difficult one is the Triumvirate. Two very strong heroes will come at you, and there's no way to deal with them.

Hmm, it depends on how you look at it. I played on "Veteran" difficulty. There were "astral gates" (or whatever they're called). I ignored the fact that I was supposed to (sort of) go save Godric first (the second mission, which I had to replay completely) and teleported through an outpost. I captured a Castle. I got lucky, and Narhiz and the Knight-Engineer appeared (in 1.6, (I don't know about earlier versions), you can buy heroes one at a time, so I bought a mage first, then fired him, etc.). I teleported through the second outpost using Zehir, and one of the two strong heroes attacked me. I fought him off with losses. It was a shame that I lost my last Rakshasa, but oh well. I have an axiom in my head: "All cities are on the way." I ran down, visiting only the places where I could buy troops. I captured a Castle. I saw where the second hero was coming from. I went to attack him. Damn it, he bought up all the archers right in front of me. I somehow managed to defeat him. The remaining two human Castles were captured without any problems.

And yes: I didn't have "Berserk," "Blind," "Charm," or "Phoenix," and of the resurrection spells, I only had "Raise Dead" (or whatever it's called).

In short: "Rush is king."

The difficulty wasn't in the missions themselves (as far as I remember, since I played the game with long breaks), but in the battles with the opponents. I prolonged many missions, so strong enemies attacked. And, since I didn't know what and with whom I would have to fight with the main heroes, I tried to level them all up. Although, if I had known that Railag (he didn't have any good magic, since I made Shadiyah the main character) would be in the final mission of the "Mages" campaign, I would have leveled him up differently. Because of him, I had to replay the battle with the Overlord several times (by the way, you don't need to level up Godric's "Guardian Angel").

I played through all the original campaigns on Veteran difficulty, and I didn't encounter a single challenging mission... I actually found them all too easy, and I think the developers made these campaigns too simple.

Right now, I'm playing through the campaign for the elves (the light ones). In my opinion, it's the most difficult. Especially missions 2 and 5. But I breezed through the dark elves' campaign. The gameplay is good, and you have a lot of troops. The main thing is to get the main hero, a powerful mage, and capture all the cities of the Stronghold faction as quickly as possible. And by the way, Shidara and Railag should be played in parallel! You reach the garrison, gather troops... There's a separate topic for that. But as for the elven campaign...

The fifth campaign was tough for me, especially the second mission.

Are those the Emerald ones? Yes, yes, I remember struggling to complete it without Logistics. I read somewhere in a walkthrough that you can only reach the middle city from the Dungeon, but it turns out you can also get there by sea with the Ghost Dragons. I remember a demon landing, killing the Ghost Dragons, and capturing my city, and I couldn't catch up to him. But I eventually managed to ambush him.
