I encountered a problem similar to the one described in the topic /topic/1736/. Namely, when summoned creatures of the Demon faction are killed, the game crashes. But if I could somehow protect the summoned creatures there, here I have to kill them. Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution? Game version 1.4

With patch 1.41, you'll be able to kill them easily.

I always have the same problem: I manage to capture 5 castles (and there are supposedly 7 of them), and then the Demon Lord comes with a decent army, and the blue faction somehow gets Knights and Angels from nowhere!

Demons appear after capturing every other castle. The order of capturing castles is mentioned above in the thread.
To complete the game, try lowering the difficulty and/or not taking too long; completing this campaign 100% depends on being active at the beginning.

I've tried everything, but it's always the same! These "Hammers of Fate" are driving me crazy :smile04:. I know that the demons only appear AFTER capturing 2 castles!

Well, I don't know... In my early battles, I usually lost 1-2 Minotaurs + about 5 Beasts... Even the first Sorceresses usually survived until the middle of the mission... I just put everyone in reserve except for the Minotaurs, Beasts, and Assassins – they shoot and poison, I summon a Phoenix – it also deals good damage, and then a couple of casts of Mass Dispel and Slow – and the Champion is dead. I took down the Utopia of Dragons by attacking with 7 Assassins, one at a time in each slot...

And I didn't teach Railag MD, and Shadia, who had MD, didn't want to share it with him...

I had the learning skill maxed out, and Shadia had Chaos and Dark Magic, while Railag had Chaos and Summoning. Only, in my case, Railag taught Shadia all the spells (except Darkness). I simply built up the guilds in all the castles in the "Expansion" to the maximum - MD in the Dungeon is a frequent spell, and Phoenix too - and then there were no problems.

I didn't leave the previous mission until Railag obtained all the Chaos spells of levels 4 and 5. There's a treasure trove of mages and a dragon utopia there. An enhanced Mighty Dragon destroys almost the entire enemy army. However, I haven't progressed very far yet – I've only captured 2 castles and all the mines near the first castle. I captured the second castle on the last day of the second week. Now I'm waiting for the demon. I hope he arrives soon. If there are problems, I'll change my tactics. I'll try to quickly capture both castles and move on.

I also defeated everyone with enhanced Magic Defense in the Cultist campaign, practically without any losses. (The only losses occurred if some Sinister managed to cast Ice Block; that's why I kept the witches in reserve – he cast it especially aggressively on them). In my second playthrough, I didn't linger or build up. I went around in two circles, counterclockwise. In the first, I captured the nearest Castle, then headed towards the portal, not immediately turning left, but only at the second fork. Then, the central Castle -> the upper right corner -> the portal -> the second nearest Castle to the starting point. By that time, I had gathered troops with Shadia, repelled the first demons, and captured the Castle that we missed on the first loop. The second demon takes the second Castle (counting in the order of capture) and stays near the gate. Shadia eliminates the small, multiplying red heroes, and by that time, Railag arrives and defeats the demon -> the upper left corner via the garrison (we take it with 20 Minotaurs with almost no losses) -> we capture the main Castle. The third demon runs towards it, but by that time, Railag is already running to recapture the central Castle that was taken by the Stronghold. We watch the final cutscene, and the demons no longer have time to do anything.

I have a plan for a leisurely playthrough with maximum hero leveling. First, I'll focus on Raillaga. If the most powerful demon appears after capturing the 6th castle, I'll try not to rush its capture. Out of five castles, 3-4 can be well-developed and provide enough troops so that two heroes can capture the last two cities simultaneously. After capturing the 5th city, I'll try to explore the entire territory and collect all the valuable resources. To protect the cities from raids, I can leave high-level heroes in the cities. I've already bought one hero of level 14.

If that doesn't work, I'll try to do it as Nightly Edelweiss suggests. I really don't want to give the enemy the cities that I've conquered with so much effort.

I left the purchased former enemy heroes to defend. I simply didn't have enough money for troops, and there were serious resource problems (mainly with ore), so I couldn't build many dwellings, which meant there weren't many creatures in the cities. But I had plenty of experience. I completely abandoned upgrading Shadia – she was just a loyal retainer, and I had Railag visit experience-boosting locations (there weren't many of them, if any at all – I don't remember exactly) + I built intrigue chambers everywhere. And in the end, in the last campaign, Railag was the most powerful hero. Although, in general, warlocks are closest to me, and it's easiest to play as them.

I don't know about other locations, but there are plenty of mines near the first castle.

In my opinion, the AI upgrades its hero in each city. Therefore, having two cities, you can assemble an army for your main hero that is almost twice as large as any enemy army.

I'm not sure if it's easier to play as Warlocks than as others (I don't know Druids and Mages at all, since I only play the Campaign), but, in my opinion, it's more interesting. They have so many good development options. It seems easier to play as Humans and Necromancers in 1.41. Hordes of crossbowmen and skeletons sweep away everyone.

I captured mines as I went, but the computer would recapture them. My goal was to complete the mission quickly with maximum hero development, so the mines were problematic. As for troops, I only reinforced my army if I was lucky and happened to pass by a castle (or capture an enemy castle) where there were units to hire (or at least on the next day). Otherwise, I just kept moving. Therefore, the enemy usually outnumbered me significantly. But the issue isn't about numbers...

To each their own. I, for example, can't stand Rangers in the fifth game. In my opinion, they are an absolutely useless hero who focuses on defense and a little bit of knowledge. But what's the point of knowledge when their magic is zero, and what's the point of defense when there's no attack at all? As a result, they are only good for defending cities. As an attacker, they are nothing special. Although, if they have a large numerical advantage over the enemy, with their speed, I still prefer open terrain rather than walls. Necromancers are also quite strong, but I just couldn't make it work with them... In general, to each their own... Humans have powerful Paladins, and if you train peasants into crossbowmen, you can gather a powerful force, but still, Warlocks are more enjoyable and interesting for me, even if their numerical growth is much smaller, because each unit is valuable.

By the way, I haven't played version 1.4; I still have 1.0 installed...

I was capturing mines along the way, but then the computer would recapture them. My goal was to complete the mission quickly with maximum hero development, so it was problematic to deal with the mines. As for troops, I would only reinforce myself if I was lucky and, while passing by a castle (or capturing an enemy castle), there were units available to hire (or at least the next day). Otherwise, I would just run further. Therefore, the enemy outnumbered me considerably. But the issue isn't about numbers...

You might be right. I spent too much time near the first two castles. While waiting for the demon at the second castle, three blue players appeared near the first one. I had to rush all the other heroes to Railag. They captured the first city and almost all the mines near it. Only Railag dealt with them, and then another blue player appeared near the second city. Luckily, Kifa, level 14, with three hydras and ten guardian minotaurs, was stationed there. She took care of him.

The computer tells me the order in which to capture cities. I go where the most enemies are coming from, because they have moved troops away from there. This means it will be easier to capture the city. That's why Railag went to the portal near the first city.

I started playing with version 1.3. I played for a week, and then patch 1.4 was released. Before that, I hadn't played any of the Heroes games. In 1.4, they made it easier – now troops accumulate in dwellings. That's why I capture all enemy dwellings, even when I don't plan to buy troops there. I do it solely to destroy all the creatures. Otherwise, some enemy might wander in and buy up all the creatures that have accumulated over many weeks.
