Guys, what difficulty level are you playing on? It looks like you're making good progress :) I'm on Veteran, 4 months and 2 weeks in. Before that, I quickly completed the Dungeon campaign. Luckily, the enemies kept rushing in and falling into deadly traps. And this was already my third playthrough, so I was familiar with everything. I emerged on the surface, quickly gathered my troops in 2-3 weeks. The tavern shows that only the Mountains are stronger than me, i.e., Wolfenstein. I took the first Castle. I'm heading for the second... And there's that bastard... I mean, that scoundrel, Hangwul, with a high threat level. In battle, it turned out that he has quite a bit of personal initiative, a lot of mana, and Blind. Basically, after his Blind, all my units just stand there and wait to be beaten. I've replayed it 4 times. I went back home for reinforcements. When I returned, he still had more troops, and the high threat level remained. It's not even about his threat level, but the fact that he constantly casts Blind at high speed. And now, do I have to replay on Warrior? :) I mean, is it also impossible to complete on Veteran? Or has anyone managed to do it?

The videos above show the difficulty level, version 1 of the map.
The author also posted videos for the Veteran difficulty, version 2 of the map.
Read it above.
Try to collect 4 Gnomish artifacts and give them to the Djinn – get the Subjugation skill from him; it will make everything much easier

Guys, what difficulty level are you playing on? It looks like you're making good progress :) I'm on Veteran, 4 months and 2 weeks in. Before that, I quickly completed the Dungeon campaign. Luckily, the enemies kept rushing in and getting themselves into trouble. Plus, this was already my third playthrough, so I was familiar with everything. I emerged on the surface, quickly gathered an army in 2-3 weeks. The tavern shows that only the Mountains faction, i.e., Wolfenstein, is stronger than me. I took the first Castle. I'm heading for the second... And then there's that jerk... I mean, that scoundrel, Hangwul, with a high threat level. In battle, it turned out that he has decent initiative, a lot of mana, and Blind. Basically, after his Blind, all my units just stand there and wait to be beaten. I replayed it 4 times. I went back home for reinforcements. Upon returning, he still had more troops, and the high threat level remained. It's not even about his threat level, but the fact that he constantly casts Blind very quickly. And now, do I have to replay on Warrior? :) I mean, is it also impossible to win on Veteran? Or has anyone managed to do it?

Not necessarily. Try the following tactic:

Retreat to the nearest Dwarf town (there will be an additional stack of warriors + strong walls). Ideally, the hero should have at least Blind in his spellbook and a more or less decent army.
Hangwul should pursue if he's stronger. As soon as the battle in the Castle begins, immediately try to destroy the enemy catapult and charm or blind the Jarls (Earls). They are the only flying units. If they still fly over the wall, they can be taken down by all the other units (especially summoned ones) immediately. Then, cast Devil's Chain and other spells on the rest (there are battle logs available). Use Mass Slow to disable the archers.

There's a more cunning option - try to grab the last Dwarf artifact from Thor Hall (if you have the other 3) and get Subdue from Nefarius (near the Inferno Castle). Then, proceed as in the first point. The battle will be much easier.

The main thing is to destroy the catapult, prevent it from making holes in the wall, or close the holes somehow. And then patiently destroy his troops.

If the hero isn't ready, doesn't have certain skills/spells, don't rush to capture the garrison in front of Hangwul's Castle. In the Dragon Hoard, you might find Blind or Berserk if you go there again. I hope this helps. )

Juss456, thank you. Tomorrow I'll try the tactic of retreating to the Castle. Blindness is available in my arsenal. I usually don't look at save files; I prefer to manage on my own. It's more interesting that way :) Thanks again!

Nah, I think you need to play the updated map. The game crashes on day 7. The first time, I restarted and it worked. The second time, I restarted about 10 times, but it still crashed. http://rghost.ru/53730877 It didn't let me capture cities, and the AI didn't seem to notice me for those two weeks.

No, it's a corrupted save file.

Okay, whatever, it doesn't really matter... I would have taken the 3rd Castle anyway – the computer doesn't have any troops left. And for Wolfstein, I think Blind and Dominate would have done the trick... plus, with the Dragon set, you could have gathered some Devils... plus troops from the Inferno outpost.

He would still have 3-4 times more troops) although with 3 Castles, the player has a higher creature growth rate.

Yeah)) + you could create a second hero with a dwarven army. The only thing is to get the mentor's education. After the dwarven army, the demons would still win anyway))

And the fact that the growth is higher - what's the point of it, subjugation on the thanes, and the rest will just be standing at the gates. If he even makes a hole - blind the one who crawls into the passage. And if he also gets a berserker - it will already be a beating, in my opinion.

try playing the "Path of the Outcast" map. The map is quite different from this one, but I think it's just as interesting.

Sigrif will have 7 dragon artifacts, and Ningun will have 1, the one that's missing. I can't tell you here what will happen next.
