Nightly Edelweiss
Auto-translated
Maybe you're right. I spent too much time near the first two castles. While I was waiting for the demon at the second castle, three blue ones appeared near the first. I had to rush all the other heroes to Railag. And they captured the first city and almost all the mines near it. Only Railag dealt with them, and then another blue one appeared near the second city. Luckily, Kifa, level 14, with three hydras and ten guardian minotaurs, was there. She took care of it.
The computer tells me the order in which to capture cities. I go where the most enemies are coming from, because they've moved troops from there. That 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. After a week, patch 1.4 came out. Before that, I hadn't played any of the Heroes games. In 1.4, they made it easier – now troops accumulate in dwellings. So, I capture all enemy dwellings, even when I don't plan to buy troops there. Just to destroy all the spawn. Otherwise, some enemy will come along and buy up the spawn over several weeks.
When I played this mission for the first time, I got stuck because of this. My favorite tactic was to sit, capture mines, gather troops, combine them into one fairly developed hero, and then go and beat everyone up. But here, it was a complete disaster! I wasn't the one dealing the blows; I was the one getting them, and the longer I stayed, the harder I got hit, because I had captured two cities (the closest ones, which could be reached without portals), built up one (there weren't enough resources for the second), and while Railag was gathering a more or less decent army, an enemy with an awesome army would arrive, and my Railag couldn't do anything about it. After replaying it about 10 times, I decided to run quickly and immediately – I captured the central city, but the disadvantage of having one strong hero against several weak ones is the number of enemies. While he's dealing with one, the others have already captured a bunch of mines and weakly defended cities. That's why, the time I finally completed the mission, I didn't keep an eye on the demons, and they captured a city and bred a lot. In the end, I chased them for almost an hour...
And I chose the order of quick capture myself, because the computer didn't have time to interfere before I decided where to go...
And the accumulation of units in dwellings is blatant cheating! :smile06: Although, the fact that in "Lords of Magic" they can also be transported by caravans is super cheating... But it's convenient, damn it! :)
