No, I meant the binding of creatures to buildings specifically in "Armored Princess"! How does it work there? I was just disappointed during my playthrough that I couldn't find anywhere to buy scouts.
In Armored Princess, everything is less random, but still... All human units are guaranteed to be available.

In "Armored Princess," things are less random, but still... You're guaranteed to find all the human units, that's for sure.
During my playthrough, Paladins were only sold in one place, and there were only three of them :(. But I successfully upgraded my Knights into Paladins thanks to Gaudi :).

I was just reading an article about "Armored Princess" on LKI, and I noticed something. I forgot to visit the island of Umkas! I remember constantly planning to, but in the end, I forgot :(:o. Oh well, I'll make up for it in my next playthrough :).

Temple of Love. Paladins are always there.
Indeed, that's true :). In my current playthrough, there aren't many of them, but they are there :)!

I'm almost finished with the game ;). Now I'm going to finish off the Tower of Mages, and then head to Rehau. I really liked this combination of high-level troops: Black Dragons, Red Dragons, Emerald Dragons :D, Archdemons, and Rangers. They have low mortality, and the output is impressive.

I encountered a problem. Ataman Sokhaty doesn't want to accept troops! I've already brought him 50 archers, 51, and 100, but he won't take them :(. What's the catch?

Also, I was wondering which quest allows you to get the "Black Hole" spell, but I already found out on the official forum. Now the question is, is it really useful and how much does it cost (in Mana and crystals)?

Sohati requests a band consisting of three types of troops. You need to bring all of them at once.
Военное дело просто и вполне доступно здравому уму человека. Но воевать сложно.

Hmm! What a nasty chieftain! Unfortunately, or rather, to my delight :), I finished the game, but I'll remember it for the future. Thank you :).

I'm currently playing on a difficult level as a Barbarian, and after reading comments about walkthroughs with "lossless" battles, I'm surprised and envious, as I can't imagine how it's possible to complete almost all battles without losses if you don't have Vampires or Paladins "in your squad" and they are "not available for purchase" anywhere. Besides, one Fire Storm or Geyser spell, and you're bound to have "losses"!

Well, healing isn't just about vampires and paladins. Inquisitors, demonologists. Again, a phantom against Incas or demonologists – phantoms can do the same things.
And the hero's "resurrection" ability, although a warrior with level 3 Order magic is unlikely...

That's the thing, the phantom and the shop (with paladins) only appeared to me in Montero (which is almost halfway through the game) – and who are demonologists? I haven't encountered them yet.

I don't understand why people set the goal of completing the game "without losses." Of course, you need to protect your troops, which means saving time and money, but "without losses" means replaying most battles several times or prolonging them. Besides, on the official forum, those who played as mages or, at worst, paladins, completed the game without losses. That is, resurrection requires a lot of mana and... the "Resurrection" spell itself. To reduce losses, Ivanjoi advised me to do the following:
There are several simple principles that allow you to protect your troops. They seem obvious to me, but just in case:
1. You should attack each stack of enemy units with all available forces, taking the retaliatory strike with the least valuable creature or tank. The ideal tank is dragons, which can be quickly healed.
2. For the attack, you need to choose a stack that the other enemy stacks won't have time to reach. You need to block, distract, slow down, blind, frighten, or put the others to sleep. Dryads are very helpful in this regard. Shapeshifters or wolves are also useful.
3. Your arsenal must include: vulnerability, dispel, healing, haste, slow, magic source, stone skin, and fear. Magic is also needed for warriors, especially towards the end: chaos - at least level 1, distortion - level 3, and order - level 3. Max out all of the above spells. Vulnerability level 3 is much more useful than +2 to the hero's stats.
4. There are unpleasant opponents who constantly retaliate or simply have very tough stacks that are scary to approach. You can also defeat them without losses. Summon a stack of thorns, bring them closer to the problematic enemy, let the thorns be killed, and then apply slow or fear to that stack. Then, using the Mirror Image spell, eliminate the entire stack in several stages.
5. Of course, the most dangerous opponent is black dragons, which magic doesn't affect directly. No matter how you try, even with advanced tactics, they will still kill someone. It has been noticed that dragons like to attack two stacks at once. You need to give them that opportunity, preparing tasty "meat" for them in advance. Dragons will try to block archers, and teleport is very useful here. Teleport the archers to a safe place and shoot the dragons from there with dragon arrows.

And demonologists are a new unit in "Princess," made from the necromancer model. They attack with "Fire Skulls," which, when attacking demons, turn into magical damage (to deal full damage). Abilities: "Demonic Creatures" (demons are summoned, which are controlled by the computer) and "Life Thread" (like gargoyles, but can heal any unit).

Go to the official forum; they discuss and share such unconventional strategies there, even for a Mage without magic!

Thread of Life is simply devastating, dealing more damage than just the skull attack. And throwing executioners into the enemy ranks is also extremely satisfying. I love demonologists, unlike those turtle-like paladins – by the time they get there, all their mega-defenses have already been broken.

I'm currently playing as a Warrior on a difficult level in "Heroes of Might and Magic", and I'm struggling to defeat the AI. I can't imagine how people manage to win as a Mage, because the Mage's troops are very weak. The AI has a 3-4 times larger army with similar attack and defense stats, and the hero casts spells like geysers or chain lightning. The only way to make it easier is to attack strong garrisons at night.

Well, paladins should be used to cover archers, and their abilities are also very useful. I almost always take paladins into my army.

I'm currently playing as a Warrior on a hard difficulty level, going through the "Invincible Heroes" with losses, and I can't imagine how people play as a Mage, because the Mage's troops will be very weak.
That's magic, besides, it's not acceptable for a Mage to just charge head-on; he needs to show a little more agility on the map.
Auto-translated
A mage doesn't need any agility.
Yes, it's a bit harder at the beginning. But only if the goal is to complete the game without any losses. If losses are acceptable, there are no problems at all. And even without losses, it's enough to find a decent, powerful spell, or a spell that provides troop resurrection, or self-healing troops (the latter is preferable), and everything becomes very easy.
Anticipating disbelief and attempts to prove that I am wrong, I will say that I completed the game with a mage without any losses on the impossible difficulty.
In terms of troops, I used droids (with Bolo) in the early stages, then two types of vampires (from scrolls), and sometimes trolls (also from scrolls), and in the end - black and red dragons (also from scrolls). I didn't buy troops; I multiplied them through sacrifice. Instead of droids and vampires, I think paladins would work well (especially if you have Phantom). I didn't use demonologists or Incas, although they are probably also good.
I had practically all the spells, but I used these most actively: oil cloud, fire storm, fire bolt (the most effective spell in terms of price/quality ratio), sacrifice. Less often - geyser, time warp, hypnosis, phantom, resurrection. The rest, I think, were only used in specific cases and to level up medals. By the way, I leveled up all the medals.
By the way, I learned a lot of useful things for a successful playthrough on the official game forum: http://kingsbounty.ru/forum/index.php?showforum=25.
