Hmm, by the way, completing the path choice is quite possible. And quite simple, actually.
Personally, after conquering everything except Togrul's castle and visiting the arena with the library, I realized with horror that I needed to gain some more Blood reputation (I didn't take the Tears path because I wanted to complete the second part of the final Campaign), and I had few "pears" (4 of them). But I just sat there, and then, dividing the Lilims into 2 (later 3) stacks, I started attacking. There were only 3 "bloody" actions: Lightning (from the helmet), Drain, and Greater Drain. But it wasn't that difficult – all enemy units were eliminated except for one, which was put into a rotation in the fort. The Lilim summoned from the gate reduced the enemy's numbers with each round, and the rest kept him in a "stunned" state. Both Drain spells were cast immediately on cooldown, but they barely affected the enemy (the slow reduction in numbers doesn't count – it's for the duration of the stun). It worked quite well; I managed to gain the missing reputation in 3 battles and finished with 250/250 (and if necessary – 45 Tears). The losses were high, yes, but the gains covered it all.

From what I've read, it seems like auto-battles are completely useless in this mission. It's quite terrible. And after a week, he only has upgraded succubi and dogs, and that's it. :-(

I don't understand where people are getting a mage at the start, when initially Kirill is a warrior, or rather, a Heretic. Is it just me who doesn't have a choice at the start, or am I missing something?

You don't know. Players who have a license or something else (I don't remember exactly) can change the character's class. (they can make Anton a mage, for example).

Ah, I see. Well, I got the game from the internet, so that's understandable. I'll manage with a warrior with magical abilities, I've done it before :smile02:

in the sixth installment, there is a clear distinction between a mage and a warrior.

It might be a bit challenging, but good luck:smile20: :smile42:

I played on "easy," so I completed the first campaign, including the final battle, on auto-battle. And then I encountered the "bonus" described above, in the form of a battle against Azkaal with 75K health. :D:smile34:

Hello, I'm playing on a difficult level and can't win the battle for Azkaal. Perhaps this is because I spent a lot of time exploring the map and it took me about 6 months to reach the end? Did everyone have 248 Destroyers and 1120 Cerberuses in their army?

Could it be that this is because I spent a lot of time exploring the map and reached the end after about 6 months? Did everyone have 248 Destroyers and 1120 Cerberuses in their army?

Well, here it depends even more on the time, IMHO, than in Heroes 5, because there is an opportunity to rebuild all castles into any race you need, and also to gather all the growth in one. Even 75,000 health might not be enough.

In this case, everything depends even more on time, in my opinion, than in Heroes 5, because there is an opportunity to rebuild all castles into any race you need, and also to gather all the bonuses in one. Even 75,000 health might not be enough for it at some point.
Isn't the number of troops for Zana always fixed? Or is her city (or cities) off the map? How does her army grow?

Thanks for the response... So, does anyone remember how many dogs Zana has at least on the difficult level? Even approximately... so I can finally decide. Otherwise, it will be annoying to waste time replaying and encounter the same thing AGAIN.

I watched a video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?t=548&v=nJuWPT5KyjQ (battle for Azkaal, starting at 9 minutes), and I realized two things:
1) On the difficult level, there are indeed 1120 dogs - so replaying is pointless;
2) The author of the video (in which he won, of course) actively used "Evil Blood" on the Berserkers, which significantly reduced the number of dogs by the end of the battle - the trick is that I CANNOT cast "Evil Blood" on the Berserkers (and that was the idea). Is this a feature of the latest patch?

And the author of this wonderful video:

when casting "Evil Blood" on a nearby enemy unit (without neighbors), it simply skips its turn, but for me... GUESS WHAT - it attacks ME as usual!
Isn't that lovely?

Any ideas? :)

There is one idea - set the difficulty to the minimum and let the auto-battle defeat everyone. No hassle.

I did play the mission on easy mode, but why apply "Evil Blood" (similar to Berserk) specifically to Berserkers? In an army, there are already many other interesting units. Besides, Azkael has three skills (attack boost, Evil Blood, and attack all). The enemy needs two turns to reach the main soldiers. There are also many stones on the map (battlefield) that block the path. And I had the same problem with the attack myself;)
:confused:
In my opinion, the main problem is the enemy archers

because the Berserkers reduce attack (they have this property),
and reduced attack for the dogs means increased chances of survival towards the end.

I've read a lot of articles and tips on how to complete this mission from various sources. I don't know, maybe a patch somehow affected it, but the dogs move very carefully:
1) sometimes they stand in the center of the map so that they can reach me in one turn (high morale often helps them);
2) when they approach, they position themselves so as not to be adjacent to their neighbors;

does anyone know a cheat code to instantly win the battle? I know for sure that there is one in Heroes 4...

Can't you just destroy them by directing all the damage at them? And what patch are you referring to?

I doubt I'll kill even half of them, but I'll give it a try. Version 2.1.0.0
