So, can you choose to build either one or the other building?
Or is it an upgrade?
Just one.
Each faction has 4 unique buildings, and you can build 2 of them.
For the Knights, it's 10% to the speed of accumulating racial resources or illuminating an area once a week.
And also resurrection, or I forgot what, but it's also a good bonus.

Something like that.
Each faction has 4 unique buildings, 2 of which can be built.

A bonus to morale, I think, on controlled territory... okay, I understand, I'll check the saves today.

I don't know how to describe it (maybe I was just lucky), but at the beginning of the mission, all the barons had a huge army, and when I hovered over them, it showed a red skull indicating a threat. But after I captured the Necropolis, then the purple castle, and continued towards the lower-left castle, during its capture, a hero came from another bridge, captured the former Necropolis, and ran upwards towards my Fortress, capturing it as well. I quickly returned to recapture the castle, and when I caught and killed that hero, I noticed that he had left almost his entire army in the Fortress. That's how, by not letting anyone get close to that Fortress, I deprived the enemy of its main army and quickly captured the rest.

I don't know what to call it (maybe I'm just lucky) - but in my game, almost at the very beginning of the mission, all the barons have a huge army, and when you hover over them, it shows a red skull indicating a threat. But when I captured the Necropolis Castle, then the Violet Castle, and went further to the lower left Castle, during its capture, another hero came from the other bridge, captured the former Necropolis Castle, and ran up to my fort, capturing it as well. I quickly returned to recapture the Castle, and when I caught that hero and killed him, I noticed that he had left almost his entire army in the fort. That's how, without letting anyone else get close to that fort, I deprived the enemy of his main army and quickly captured the rest.

That's absolutely correct. I'm currently replaying the game on hard difficulty without saving, and therefore I consider myself entitled to take advantage of the AI's idiocy. This is exactly that tactic. You capture a fort (well, I don't want to give up the Castle, so the computer rebuilds it), "lure" the enemy hero with a large army towards it, he captures it and halves his troops, which can be defeated individually even without any losses

Please help, I can't figure out how to complete the mission and capture the first Castle. I think I need to complete Kilburn's quest list first. If that's the case, please tell me how to do it. Also, how do I complete this mission? I'm panicking; I don't know what to do. I've been racking my brain over this mission for two days now!

I'm not mistaken, were you talking about this mission? Because there's no mention of it in the first Necromancer mission with Kilburn. Kilburn doesn't give any quest. He only joins you in the third mission. Can't capture the Necropolis castle? Earlier in the thread, there was a good piece of advice: hurry up and capture it (in the first week), then Istvan will have fewer elite creatures.

How do I find the hidden house? I've defeated all the barons, although the last one was tough. Now I need to find this hidden house; does anyone know where it is?

It's at the top left, underground.

Yeah, and along the way, there are elementals first, then cyclops, and all of them in groups of a million. I would have already gone underground, but how do I get past them???

Start over and try to complete it faster. A million units means you are taking a VERY long time to complete this map.

I couldn't do it any faster; I got stuck on the Baron level. It's frustrating to think about starting over; it took so much effort... Will I dare to try again?

Well, when the reports show millions, it means you're not playing correctly.
I completed all the campaigns on normal difficulty, and I can tell you that in rare cases, the army exceeded a thousand units, and even then, these were mostly the main creatures.

Well, I tried to follow the instructions as closely as possible. It seemed to me that the growth rates for me and my opponents were so different that, having 4 cities, I recruit three times fewer troops than my opponent, who has 1 city. There are other oddities, but it would take too long to write about them. Maybe I misunderstood something? I don't want to abandon the game; I'm eager to complete it, but such difficulties at the very beginning kill all the enthusiasm. I played the previous installments, and everything seemed fine there... Maybe I should try to bring my warriors up to a million? But that would take a year of my life.

To be honest, I don't know what difficulty level you're playing on. I also have experience with other installments, but part 6 on normal difficulty seemed very easy to me. Still, you need to reconsider your strategy, especially on the global map. One more thing: playing as Haven, I won 90% of the battles only with the Light Elemental (although I think it's too early for the second mission). Before that, I used this method: 1: Griffins, with reinforcements. 2: Restoration. 3: Improved Counter Strike. 4: Helped the griffins with Vestal Acolytes. That is, the rest of my units hardly fought. In rare cases, I used the Vestal Acolytes for pacification on particularly agile mobs.

Yeah, I don't really play the previous installments or the 6th one professionally, just to pass the time. I don't know many of the nuances, so I usually try to overwhelm with numbers or attack from a distance with archers or spells. I haven't really learned how to use magic effectively. And now I'm completely stuck, I haven't encountered this before. I managed to defeat the first two barons (it seemed like I did it quickly), but the third one has such a large army that I didn't stand a chance. Then I still attacked him with smaller forces and won, although I lost almost my entire army. Now I'm just standing here, rebuilding my army, I don't see any other way. I tried starting over, but I don't feel like it. It's a shame.
