The replay with the Devil works, I re-uploaded it.

I can't say it's boring: Recruit is actually harder than Warrior and Veteran. I got tired of replaying.
Yes, it's easier with ghosts. But I still had to replay it about ten times until I got a quadruple miss ;) Yes, it would be amazing if there was a BDP.
Meanwhile, I reached the boss who threw Fireballs. The battle was very difficult, but I finally won:
I just finished a map on Recruit difficulty. I read above that it's very difficult on Recruit. I didn't notice any particular difficulties; the enemy heroes didn't venture far from their zones, and I spent 75% of the game building up my army. In the end, I was hoping for an epic battle that I would barely win, but no. I only lost a couple of hundred gremlins due to fire elementals. With the mini-arts giving +95% to initiative and -5 to his defense, he only attacked once in his entire useless life, moving 3 squares :D
I suggest giving him the "Undead" ability, since he's one-third Herald, so he wouldn't care about the defense penalty, or increase his initiative and speed, or increase his HP by a factor of 5.
I also found a flaw: in the Orcish lands, the prophet asks for 2 artifacts guarded by Helmar and Garuna. However, I already had both of these artifacts, even though I didn't fight either of them, because the map has 5 artifact shops (2 near Shaidar, where the undead roamed, and 3 more can be built in the academic cities). Either remove the shops from the map altogether, or change the quest so that you have to kill neutral creatures, or capture an Orcish city, or something else.
Yes, it's easier with ghosts. But I still had to replay it about ten times until I got a quadruple miss ;) Yes, it would be amazing if there was a BDP (Best Defense Possible).
