300 Phoenixes
“Dominate” spell

Guards!
I enjoyed playing the new version of the map, of course, on the easy difficulty. In an attempt to reach 100 reputation with the Orcs, I took on the second quest involving the centaur thief (Golarr, I think?). To complete it, you need to have 65 reputation with the Humans. I got to 60, and I encountered a couple of minor bugs: 1) the Elves don't accept the quest to "clear 2 farms of Orcs," and 2) the priest asks for 50,000 for the second time in a row, receives it – the total reputation is 65 – and gives the key to the fort.
Okay, I ignore the Elves, I get the quest – to take the Human city. But! The "Castle Gates," along with Elain, were already given to me by the Humans, and before entering the garrison in front of the castle with Laslo, I encounter the same dead end that I had before the Castle Gates Heroist – they won't let me in! That's annoying!

This is not good at all. I noticed a bug in the script related to Warok, and I know how to fix the issue with Gabriel. What remains a mystery to me is why the elves don't accept the quest; did you return to the quest giver? But regarding the siege... As I understand it, you remained the owner of the city in the human castle when you took the quest, which means the script failed. You could ask the user Heroist how to unlock the region using the console. The region name is on2, and qn9 is the region near the Castle Gates. According to the script, it's very, very difficult to determine the source of the bug, and I don't have time to replay the game right now. I would be very grateful if you have a save before taking the quest; take it again and write down what is displayed in the console. This will make it easier for me to understand what the error is. Thank you for the information; I will get to fixing it soon.

1) With the Elves, it definitely returned. I think this bug is related to the following: the quest to liberate the farms is actually given by the corresponding peasant, and the reputation with humans increases. Moreover, it's unclear how the Elves would give this quest if I had thought to talk to those peasants earlier.
2) When taking the quest for the human city, the console displays: "(Script) Error: Object Nathaniel not exist"
Overall, the situation is as follows:
a) To gain 65 reputation with humans while playing quests with branching paths for the Orcs, you have to do things like: for example, destroy an Orc army in a human castle - otherwise, the battle with the human army is fought alone (I suspect that otherwise, the defeated Orcs would have joined?). So, the "start of a declared war against humans" turns out to be unconventional?
At the same time, the maximum reputation with humans is 60. Another 5 is obtained through a bug - the priest repeats the request for 50,000. Maybe this affects it?
b) As soon as the reputation is gained, the hero is given "Castle Gates," and it is specifically his - if I understand correctly - that needs to be taken. So, when taking the quest "Capture the human city," the script should unlock the path to the "Gates," but it is already unlocked...
By the way, when taking this quest (I assume it's the last one for the Orcs?), my reputation with them is 85. If this quest gives +3 reputation, as usual, where do I get the rest? I think I've "clicked" on absolutely everything related to the Orcs...:smile41:

1) Yes, the quests are given by peasants. If, by the time you take the quest, both villages are liberated for the Elves, the quest is immediately marked as completed (or at least it should be), and you receive reputation with the Elves. If not, you go to the village and talk to the peasants. In this case, the quests of the Humans and Elves are linked to each other.
2) According to my calculations, you can gain 65 reputation with the Humans without sacrificing reputation with the Orcs. Of course, for this, you need to destroy the Orcish units that would have joined you later. This is the price to pay for getting the bonuses at 100 reputation.
3) The console says that the hero Ellaine (or whatever his name is), who switches to your control with the Humans, is missing from the map, i.e., the script cannot find him, and the function stops working. Did you happen to lose this hero in one of the battles?
4) 50,000 is definitely a bug; the quest is completed twice, which shouldn't happen; there's an error in the script.
5) Yes, you would have 88 reputation, which means you missed 4 quests somewhere. If you can, send a screenshot with all the completed quests, and I'll tell you which ones were missed.

Reputation in the factions is also given for buying buildings (which cost 12,000).

Yes, that's correct, the script checks for the presence of heroes on the map, and for it, being inside the castle is the same as being outside.

In general, it's most likely that the script still failed, or rather, it stopped at an error; the garrison was simply unlocked after Elain was defeated, but before the error with Peop1. Therefore, everything in the script function that came after Peop1 probably didn't work.

While I was preparing the screenshot, I noticed that the quest was completed. I was wrong: the bug was in something else - when the quest was completed, the elf said that I now need to talk to the warlord, but I was not allowed to...
But after preparing the screenshot, I saw a red inscription in your message :eek:. That is, the problem is in this - of course, I didn't buy any buildings - the "native" army is now more than enough with the Castle. But if you buy them, the reputation becomes 94. Is that it now? It's a pity that you don't get reputation for goblin huts :)
Now about the main thing - Ellaine, as well as all my other secondary heroes, is quietly sitting in her Castle - I don't understand how you can lose a hero if no one is attacking. And the error in the script calls the hero Nathaniel...
OH!
I took Ellaine out of the Castle - the console changed the error message to "Object with name Peop1 does not exist", but the cursor now points to the blue garrison in front of the northern Castle! That is, the problem was: after accepting the quest, all secondary heroes are removed, and the program could not remove Ellaine from inside the Castle. I'll go try to pass it...
Aha, I passed it... In the end, everything is as I expected: I met Laszlo on the way, who can now leave and who blocked my path. Of course, there is no help from the orcs on the bridge (I guess they will help when taking the empty Castle), and I can't defeat this beast with its crazy army... In short, the situation is repeating itself from your previous map - you choose a light difficulty, you go on a light difficulty, and in the end it turns out to be a complete hardcore.
It's a pity...

Reinforcements should work in any case, unless you kill everyone. By this time, you have Phantom Summoning, Berserk, Blind, etc., in your arsenal, regardless of the school of magic. Why not win even with a large army, although your army will grow to be quite large; the main thing is not to waste resources unnecessarily.

I'll reduce his defense now.

But I'll only do this on Medium and Easy difficulty.

Done =) Vadim_t, even taking into account the purchase of buildings, you missed one more quest somewhere.

From what you've shown, I don't see another quest called "Destroy the bandit camp." There are two such quests, and each one gives you reputation with the Orcs and the Humans.
