It’s strange; this “glitch” was fixed more than a year ago in one of the first patches. You can read about this bug somewhere here: /topic/8608/, but I think there is only one solution – replay the game from scratch, although… you should have the last 10 standard saves left; open one before the plague week begins and this bug appears, and update the patches to version 1.3 beforehand; I don't think this bug existed in that version anymore.

You should still have the 10 most recent standard saves; open one from before the Plague Week and the appearance of this bug.

That's the problem; I've reloaded several times, and this Plague Week always starts. Well, I've accepted it. I finished off the red and brown factions with the remaining army. But I can't handle Aribanna...

I'm using the standard patch, 1.1.1. I installed the game, and I'm dealing with all sorts of glitches. Okay, I'll try to update.

Added 33 minutes later
It won't update; it doesn't recognize the patch for the game... oh well...

Could you please provide guidance on how to complete the mission? Ideally, provide detailed instructions, including where to start, as demons constantly appear, and splitting Anton's forces is not a viable option. Also, there isn't much money to build a second army for the Duke (demons constantly capture forts and cities).

Can you give me some advice on how to complete the mission? Ideally, provide detailed instructions, including where to start, as demons keep appearing, and splitting Anton up isn't a viable option. Also, I don't have enough money to build a second army for the Duke (demons keep capturing forts and cities).

Is reading the thread from the beginning not an option?

Is it not an option to read the thread from the beginning?

I read it, some say to go down first, others say to team up with the deer, and others say to capture villages first. If you go down, what kind of army should you have, and what army should you leave at the top to defend against the demons that come? That's what I'm interested in.

I read that some people say to go down first, others say to join forces with the deer, and still others say to capture villages first. If you go down, what kind of army should you have, and what kind of army should you leave at the top to defend against the demons that come? That's what I'm interested in.

Everyone has their own approach!

Everyone has their own opinion!

I would definitely go down, but the question is how many troops to take with me and how many to leave behind.

You can go anywhere, just save the game first :smile02:!
I always keep the army with the main hero; I might give the secondary hero only those who can lower the morale of the troops, i.e., troops of a different race, if there are any. For the most part, my assistant only delivers troops as needed and gathers resources!

Your tactics :smile09: may differ from mine.

This is certainly educational and helpful, but... I'm playing on easy mode because I don't want to get bogged down; I'm playing for the story. I was playing calmly, without any stress, albeit for a long time. And I got stuck on this map. The problem is that the red faction sends a hero to attack me who uses the "fireball" spell (or something similar – it's an area-of-effect spell) and wipes out half of my army!!! I'm fed up with it! He has a small army, and the game says he poses a low threat, but in battle, his first magical attack levels the playing field))). I've beaten him five times, and while I'm recovering from these battles, he comes back again. As a result, he's evened out our chances, and now I can't defeat him with the remnants of my army, and, as I already said, I can't recruit a new army in time because he won't wait! What the heck is this? Why does this magic deal so much damage? What should I do? Help me out, guys!

This is all very instructive and useful, but... I'm playing on easy mode because I don't want to get bogged down; I'm playing for the story. I was playing calmly, without any stress, albeit slowly. And I got stuck on this map. The problem is that the red faction sends a hero to attack me who uses the "fireball" spell (or something like that, which hits an area) and wipes out half of my army!!! I'm fed up with it! He has a small army himself, and the game says he poses a low threat, but in battle, his first magical attack levels the playing field))). I've beaten him five times, and while I'm recovering from these battles, he comes back again. As a result, he has evened out our chances, and now I can't defeat him with the remnants of my army, and, as I already said, I can't gather a new army in time because he won't wait for me! What the heck is this, why does this magic deal so much damage, what should I do??? Help me out, guys!

Have you heard about the tactic of retreating?! Often, it's necessary to use it and gather some troops, and then rush to attack the enemy :smile19:.

Thank you very much for the advice! But I can only retreat to the city. As they say, "Moscow is behind us" or "There's no land left for us to retreat to")). The problem is, he'll still give me a hard time there. I'm telling you, I don't have time to gather troops; he keeps reducing their numbers, and I'm slowly going into the negative... Maybe a cloak that protects against fire magic will help?

Sometimes it happens that you have to surrender a castle to the enemy and go out into the open field. The enemy captures the castle, calms down, and goes back to their own territory - then you can return or capture their castle.

In short, I managed to defeat this villain!)) I replayed the map, and instead of his suspiciously powerful "fire storm," he used a much weaker chain of lightning, compared to HIS storm.

I completed this mission on my fourth try =)

Here's how I did it: first, I cleared the surface – I captured all of the Red player's castles, and then I went down into the Dungeon and finished off the Orange player. I killed the boss easily; by that time, I had over a thousand Guards, Archers, and Vestals; 800+ Imperial Griffins; 700+ Radiant Lights and Sun Crusaders; and 100-200 (I don't remember exactly) Seraphs. I could have had even more, but I ran out of money =)

Several times during the playthrough, I got lucky: while exploring the map, I ran into the Red player, who was searching for a good opportunity to attack. The Red player caused me a lot of trouble: my Anton was a strong fighter, but he only had healing magic, and the Red player was throwing fireballs, using chain lightning, and other spells. But the Angel Guardian skill (level 4) + Push Back + Cleave + General Heroism + General No Retreat + Counter Strike helped me a lot.

My humble advice for completing the mission: don't forget to save as often as possible! And build up your military and economic resources. Also, don't lose sight of the Red player; he will be a major nuisance. Have fun playing!
