I understand. I just haven't heard anyone call them "Koluny" before. :)
Maybe you could disable the "subordination" ability on the map? It's getting too easy to defeat the main hero...

For the sake of the experiment, I defeated the main hero using practically the same composition, but without using the "subordination" spell. To do this, I had to lure Prokh into Nordford, then I attacked the castle and prevented the enemy troops from reaching mine by blocking the gates until: 1. I reduced the number of enemy troops to a level that prevented the AI from effectively using the "frenzy" spell; 2. I cast mass slow, confusion, weakness, and vulnerability on the enemy; 3. I applied vampirism to all my remaining melee units. Result: even fewer losses (not only the zealots survived, but also all the phoenixes). Time: 153 days (although the extra time was spent not so much on replenishing troops, but on luring Prokh into the castle). Difficulty: highest (hero).

Sorry for writing off-topic, but could you please tell me how to build an Ashan Tear in two castles at the same time? Maybe there's a script or something else? Sorry again.

In the dungeon of the first Castle, I manage to defeat two Phoenixes, approach the Conflux, and the game crashes to the desktop! Windows 7 64-bit. What should be there, and what should I do?

Everything works fine on my system. Try lowering/increasing the graphics settings, etc...
Also, clarify: do I approach or touch? If I touch, I'll take a look later...
The solution is 100%: don't approach.

Thank you for your response! "I understand." But it seems like something is wrong with the mods or the game itself. I'll try reinstalling everything, because when I touch the Treehouse, the game crashes as well.

Added 14 minutes later
I apologize for the false alarm! I reinstalled the game, added the same mods (so it wasn't the mods) - and everything is working now! The Phoenixes are appearing with 10,000 hit points! Nothing is crashing! Thank you!

I played through it on Veteran difficulty. I really enjoyed it. I didn't rush anywhere. My main strength was the arbalests! The game ended with the glorious knight losing consciousness. Is that how it's supposed to be?

Yes, that's how it's supposed to be, since this is just one part.

I completed the map in hero mode in 118 days, and I wasn't playing very attentively, but I still got the title of Twilight Dragon :smile13:. I destroyed all living creatures on my half of the map, except for the phoenixes that guard the second version of the Moon Blade :cool:. I leveled up my hero to level 32. When I crossed the bridge, I simply chased down and defeated the bandits in the upper right corner of the map :smile14:. In general, I enjoyed it, but the only thing that bothered me was that for the last two weeks, I was just running back and forth between my castles, accumulating troops for the final battle :eek:.

The sooner you reach the bandit, the smaller his army will be. Two or three months is enough. You don't need a particularly large army to defeat him. Just use Subdue and you're done.

The first time I fought the Bandit, it was at the end of the third week of the third month. My hero was level 32, with 8 Archangels, about three hundred Swordsmen, a bunch of Peasants, almost 200 Griffins, fifty Inquisitors, and about 400 Archers (I didn't lose a single one in the previous battles). The Archers were my main striking force. The Bandit had 24 Cyclops, almost 100 Chieftains, about 200 Shamans, about 2,000 Goblins, and 600 Centaurs. The thing is, I didn't really develop my hero's magical skills – he's a warrior, after all – so the Dominate spell rarely worked; the spell would often fail. I took down his Centaurs with Archers, but the Bandit used Horde Wrath and, with his first move, wiped out almost all of my Archers. After that, it was impossible to defeat him; I replayed the battle several times :smile35:. So, I had to wait, gather money, and build up my army. I also used all the Druids and Elves that had joined me from the Elven Stronghold, upgrading them beforehand. At the same time, I modified my cavalry and used it instead of the Angels (60 Champion Knights are more useful than 12 Archangels). I'm attaching two save files of the battle with the Bandit – both end with my victory, but in one case, I use Hypnosis, and in the second, I don't – the second one is, in my opinion, better :rolleyes:. I did these battles quickly, and I even forgot to bring a cart and a tent from the city. And I didn't upgrade the cavalry as much; the Champion Knights are better – they attack two targets with their first move, and they still don't have time to heal anyone :smile27:. I've now downloaded the two sequels. When I finish them, I'll definitely write about it, but I'm afraid it won't be soon – I have to go back to work on Monday (my vacation is over, and I won't have time again) :eek:.

I understand that this is an old topic, but maybe someone can answer. I reached the mountains late (I delayed with the ship because I didn't see it available), and judging by what's written here, the Barbarian should have a decent army. After the brown player started moving, I intercepted a hero in the mountains with a group of centaurs and attacked without looking. After that, I was told to approach the Necromancer, and according to the scenario, the mission ended. Question: was that the hero I was supposed to fight? I have a feeling of frustration (I prepared, gathered troops, gained experience, and where is the final battle?). Apparently, I wore down these partisans, and they died of starvation while waiting for me.

Apparently, I exhausted these partisans, and they died of hunger while waiting for me.

1) Is the game version 3.1?
2) What is the exact time frame: month, week?
3) What is the Orc's army and what was his name?
4) Are there any other maps in the Maps folder and mods in the UserMods folder?
5) Did you use any cheat scripts?
6) Did the mission end successfully: was there a message that you were losing consciousness?
7) Do you have any saves left, and if so, can you upload them?

Thank you for responding. 1. 3.1 2. 2nd week, 6th month. 3. The save was not made right before the battle (I saved on quick save after that), I'll replay it and let you know. 4. No, to avoid glitches, I only keep the map I'm playing in there. 5. I didn't use anything, as I don't know how. 6. The mission was completed successfully (the hero lost consciousness). 7. I don't know how to identify which save file it is in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V — Tribes of the East\Profiles\Player\Saves, as they are simply numbered and I can't see my name.

Thank you for responding.
1. 3.1
2. 2nd week, 6th month.
3. The save was not made right before the battle; I'll save again during the replay and let you know.
4. No, to avoid glitches, I only keep the map I'm playing in there.
5. I didn't use anything because I don't know how.
6. The mission was completed successfully (the hero lost consciousness).
7. I don't know how to identify which save it is in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V — Tribes of the East\Profiles\Player\Saves; they are simply numbered, and I can't see my name.

7) Usually, they are created in the order of the save time. If no other maps were saved after this one, it's most likely the last one.
2) The duration is quite significant. As far as I know, not many people have played for that long, so I'll wait for the save, preferably before the opponent's turn, if available.
