Hello everyone.
I'm playing the first mission on a difficult level, and everything was going smoothly – I captured the last castle and was already relaxing, waiting for the second mission. And then comes the very last battle – to save Johans in prison by defeating a bunch of Luminaries. And there are so many of them, they attack without giving you a chance to retaliate – it's just awful.
How did you manage this battle?
Or should I wait a couple of months? But theoretically, the size of the enemy armies also increases over time.

Not theoretically, but it does increase. However, the increase from five cities will definitely be higher. So, you can easily spend two weeks building up your army.

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with the last castle. The fastest rush doesn't work, and sitting and accumulating resources isn't an option either, because the AI also accumulates. As a result, see the screenshot:

This is how long it took to accumulate resources. Moreover, I have 3 castles and a lot of barracks, while he has 1 castle with a barracks. The main thing is that he has elite creatures, and even my numerous basic units can't defeat them with numbers. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't come up with anything.

Well, a quick rush isn't a good option either; you need to develop your hero to the maximum. Of course, he has a lot of troops, but with the right tactics, you should be able to defeat him. Judging by the logs, the archers only killed 64 ghouls, and you still have 800 of them. Defend, wait for them to attack you, eliminate the archers, heal, and resurrect your troops.
In the worst case, if you really can't manage, you can annoy him; you have plenty of time, and you also have more money.
Attack, kill as many of his troops as possible, and if you lose, you can buy back your hero and troops at the altar and attack again.
You have 3 castles, he has one; you have the opportunity to recover your troops, he doesn't.

I looked at the screenshot. I think it's quite possible to defeat him with your army. The AI is slow; it doesn't always leave the gates while it still has archers. And if it does leave, it does so one stack at a time. You have a decent army. I didn't have one like that in any of the missions. The maximum number of archers I ever recruited was 1000 for a quest. Usually, it all ends much sooner. I'm playing on normal difficulty. Maybe you should reconsider your hero's build and your battle strategy. If you're really losing, I suggest watching how others play and taking something from their strategies for yourself.

You need to develop the hero to the maximum.

10 is the maximum level; after that, the story and scripts don't progress.

Judging by the logs, the archers killed only 64 ghouls, but you still have 800 of them.

This is the beginning of the battle.

Defend, wait for them to attack you, eliminate the archers, heal, and resurrect your troops.

He doesn't always leave the gates as long as he has archers alive. And if he does leave, it's one stack at a time.

That's what I was doing. I was shooting at the archers with my own archers + agony on them + withering on my own + necromancy. But after a few turns, the catapult destroys the gates, and they ALL attack me. 2 elite + 3 main stacks against my 2 main stacks, even though they are numerically superior, win (I'm not counting the archers, they are fighting each other).

If you lose, you can buy back your hero and troops at the altar and attack again.

That's an idea, to not let him buy more troops and just overwhelm him with numbers. Are there any other options?

Try starting over and don't let him get too comfortable. As I mentioned before, when I visited his game, both our armies were about 6 times smaller.

I have a problem with the last Castle. The fastest rush doesn't give any results, and sitting and accumulating resources is also not an option, because the AI also accumulates them. As a result, see the screenshot:

That's strange.
I played on Hard difficulty, and not in a hurry, sometimes running around in circles, and I took the last city by the end of the second month (as far as I remember), the AI had fewer troops.
But even on Hard difficulty, the AI constantly made stupid moves and came out of the Castle one by one.)
Out of curiosity, upload the save file somewhere so I can experience this "epic battle"

I played it on normal difficulty, and there were no problems. I found scrolls with the spells Storm Arrows and Haste. With Storm Arrows, I destroyed entire stacks of Luminaries with arrows, and then I used Drain Life and Resurrection.

Help!
I completed this mission but couldn't find Arachne's second heirloom weapon.
Please tell me where it is.

Arachne is in the Dungeon, and her group of demons guards it.

Do you mean your save file or a video?

Saving your game before a battle.

The problem is solved! I failed on the first try. Back then, no one left after the gates were destroyed for a long time, which allowed the archers to continue eliminating enemies. And then everyone started rushing out again, but they were hindering each other. It's some kind of unbalanced AI.

Hmm... Am I a pro gamer or just as talented as Leonardo da Vinci??!!11 I completed the first mission quite easily, quickly, and without any problems. I captured the first castle, and as usual, I didn't upgrade it to its maximum level before going into the dungeon and clearing everything. I exited the dungeon and easily captured the castle. I fought off everyone without any problems. The general near the fortress came to me on his own. While fighting on two fronts, I, of course, used the ultra-portal. After gathering legions from all the cities, I captured the main city of the Inquisition. I'm playing on easy mode, and at that time, I wasn't using quick battles.
