The Castle shouldn't become yours.

Understood, thank you.

Hello everyone. I was playing this map until 3 AM last night. Yes... I never knew that demons could defend themselves so fiercely! When attacking the castle where the demoness Deleb is stationed, keep in mind - EVERY TURN, ALL YOUR TROOPS WILL TAKE 335 DAMAGE FROM THE FIRE TOWER! Therefore, dark elementals will be useless!! I lost my entire army in this battle, except for 60% of the ghouls! Then I quickly bought new units at the Altar of the Dead - I didn't have time to bring them all back. Immediately - liches and ghouls, then the rest...
I don't buy spiderlings - I save them! Otherwise, there simply won't be enough money to resurrect everyone! The dungeon has been cleared - I got the Sandro's Staff without any problems! The "STOP TIME" ABILITY IS THE KEY TO 100% VICTORY OVER NEUTRAL FORCES.
Two questions: Necropolis and Barbarian are fighting each other! Question: does this affect their armies? Do the armies decrease? Or are they revived by scripts?
Sandro's Staff. Does it make sense to upgrade it instead of the Soul Stealer?

Yes, the fire rain in this mission is very annoying. I don't remember if I mentioned advising to go to the demons first, and then to Ludmila, so that the passage to the orcs wouldn't open for too long. It seems to have an effect. But no one will touch the castle with the main orc. Only minor heroes will fight. It's up to you. Look at the bonuses of both staves in the main menu and decide what you need more.

Wouldn't it be easier to destroy everything on the ground first (except for Miranda), and then deal with the demons?

Winner, you were the one who suggested it, and that's why, after your advice, I started killing demons. If you don't kill the demons right away, it will be like a time bomb. And when Deleb emerges on the surface with his army, it will be impossible to stop him without significant losses. Moreover, demons are a potential second castle.
And what staffs did you upgrade?

tomatovv, I downloaded the Staff of the Eight Aspects of Ash from the collector's edition. In my opinion, it's one of the best.

Reached Miranda. She has a good army: Dungeon, Horde, Thousands. But she's holed up in her castle and can't be reached. Also, half of the map is still unexplored, especially the sea. It's all fun and games, but the infighting between the Orcs and the Necropolis led to the Orcs being unable to offer any resistance at all! The Necropolis outsmarted themselves. They attacked the Orcs' captured castle, where I had previously jumped in with Ludmila. Seeing that it would be difficult to take the level 3 castle, the computer teleported back. And the next day, it attacked Nastya and was soundly defeated. BUT in the morning, before I bought my main hero, it left its last castle WITHOUT A HERO! Nastya attacks the castle, which has 47 Spiders, 450 Skeletons, and 97 Liches. BUT WITHOUT A HERO - THESE TROOPS AREN'T WORTH MUCH))) Everything was fine until one moment! The racial ability "Resurrection" STOPPED WORKING: VAMPIRES and LIMASU are no longer being resurrected! Has this happened to anyone else?

Here's the situation. I started playing, went to Ludmila, took the quest, defeated Sharka, although the hero kept dying on auto-battle. I lost about 30 skeletons and 50 ghouls, but I still have a hundred ghosts, 20 liches, a hundred skeletons, and 50 ghouls, plus a weaver and 30 vampires in the town. Then, out of nowhere, an evil Necromancer of level 21 appears from the sea and starts casting explosion and chain lightning. I lost without a chance. I think I rebuilt Sharka's town, but there was no new weekly replenishment there. Do I have to start over? I'm playing on normal difficulty, and I didn't expect to have so many problems with this mission.

Hey, can someone tell me if it's intentional that I can't sell unwanted artifacts in my castles? There's a button, but it's grayed out and inactive. Also, will Lyudmila appear in later missions? Is it worth training her in battles against neutral creatures, or is it enough to just have her run around collecting stones and protecting the sea castle to increase its growth?

Hey, can you tell me, I can't sell unwanted artifacts in my own castles - is that how it's supposed to be? There's a button, but it's gray and inactive.

Also, will Lyudmila be in the next missions?
Is it worth training her in battles with neutrals, or is it enough to just have her run around collecting stones and protect the sea castle with its bonus?

If it's a Necropolis castle, you can't sell artifacts.
Lyudmila will be in the 4th and final missions (I didn't train Lyusya at all, though).

If you have Necropolis castles, you can't sell artifacts.
Lyudmila will be in the 4th and final missions (I didn't train Lyusya at all).

Like, there's no one to sell to? :p

I'm playing with patch 1.8 – does anyone else experience crashes during battles on broken galleons? I reach the ship, and the game crashes :smile19: or I position my troops, take the first actions, and it crashes :smile10:.

Like, there's no one to sell to? :p

like "I have it" :D
Necropolis doesn't have an art market, so you can't sell in the city.

I won against Miranda using the autobattle feature, and I even want to defeat her myself. The campaign didn't cause any difficulties; maybe it's because I developed my strategy correctly. Although I rushed straight to Ludmila, I later had to deal with both orcs and demons :smile19: :smile02: :smile10:. I outplayed everyone with Anastasia, developed her to the final level of 24, "Reaper," in this mission, took the second level of blood magic, and proceeded without any losses, having previously built a summoning structure in the castle. The most powerful units are liches and spiderlings; you can defeat all neutral creatures with them alone, of course, if you have enough of them :smile08:! So far, apart from the glitches with galleons, I like everything! It's easier than Heroes 5.

I can’t capture the city of Apel-sin. What should I do?
