I have two questions:
1) It's difficult to move underground (the path isn't always highlighted) – why is that?
2) When playing through mission 3 for Inferno, the number of heroes decreases on their own (e.g., there were 31 archers, and after two turns, there are 30 archers, and the same happens with all the heroes). Is this a bug or a feature of the game?

2) I don't know, I don't think I've had that happen... Or maybe I just didn't notice...

That's nothing. Just wait until, in the Necropolis Campaign, after each turn, you lose one or even two dragons. Then you'll start remembering the nuances of the great Russian language! This is perfectly normal gameplay. Everyone who moves around in areas that don't belong to them in the game receives a penalty – a reduction of several units in the hero's army. Later, there will be boots that remove this penalty when in enemy territory.

I noticed an interesting bug in the game the other day. In the 3rd mission of the Necropolis campaign, where you need to capture 3 necromancer artifacts, if you capture the cloak with Isabella and Markel conquers the lower right city and curses it, without giving the cloak to the sorcerer, the mission will not be completed. At the end, when you need to gather 20 bone dragons, the game tells you that you don't have 20 yet, and I already had 78))) Plus, if you curse 3 cities under the same conditions, the game will tell you that you lost!

Pearl: Tell me your email address – I can send it to you. Boris: The quest to kill a hero wasn't marked as completed. Although I did kill Gilraen when I still had one Elven Castle (top left). He came from above and attacked, but I was stronger. :)

Boris: The quest wasn't marked as completed – kill a hero. Although I killed Gilraen when I still had one Elven castle (top left). He came from above and attacked, but I was stronger. :)

So, it seems like there's a bug that prevents you from completing it. :(

Guys, can you give me some advice on how to play as Necropolis in the second scenario? They hit me hard and relentlessly.

I had the same bug (I wrote about it somewhere on the forum),
because I didn't take the nearest Elven town (what a brilliant flanking maneuver I made, eh...). After that, the Elves' population starts to grow, and a quest to kill a hero appears.
If you don't capture it, the quest won't appear, and you won't be able to complete it. :D

P.S. What else can you do? I cursed and replayed... :mad:

Where do these ideas for maneuvers come from? You suddenly appear in an open space, attacking a weakly defended enemy castle, and of course, the reaction to this is predictable. But why are you even trying such maneuvers?

Where do these ideas come from to perform such maneuvers? You suddenly appear in a weakly defended enemy castle in an open space, and the reaction to this is obvious. But you are performing some kind of maneuvers.

If you wait, Gilroen will arrive with a large army, and you will either have to waste time or pretend to be Scottish. 😉
If you go immediately, you have too few troops and won't make it (there are either phoenixes or earth elementals).
Running away from the elf is tedious.
By maneuver, I meant capturing the upper city and then the unoccupied capital ("While the owner was away" J.R.R. Tolkien).

If we go straight there, we won't have enough troops to make it (there are either phoenixes or earth elementals).
Running away from the elf is tedious.
By maneuver, I meant capturing the upper city and then the unoccupied capital ("While the cat's away, the mice will play" - J.R.R. Tolkien).

Well, I don't know, when I took two cities and was about to attack the phoenixes, he himself appeared where the elven dragons were, and I had to flee. I managed to reach the capital and defeat him there.

As for me, in the campaign as the elves, Faidaen surprised me,
When he suddenly spoke in verse about dragons (in the second mission),
I couldn't help myself and laughed vilely,
When due to a script error, the final poem repeated about twenty times!

And then I found myself on the next mission,
But the enemy there was so difficult, I actually got scared.
Even the fact didn't surprise me,
That I had unnoticed jumped from the second to the fifth mission!:eek:

(By the way, I haven't cheated once in about two years
Therefore, this CANNOT be written off as cheating!)

By the way, did anyone else have such an error
Or am I the only one?

P.S. Please forgive me for speaking in verse,
It's just that Faidaen, that scoundrel, infected me.:mad:

In the final mission of the 4th campaign, there's a kind of final battle (behind the last gate), where a demon stands with his army and promises a good fight. But when I attacked him, he ran away. What the...? :mad: :mad:

So be happy! Or do you have to defeat him as part of the quest?

What's there to be happy about? His hands were itching to punch him in the face. And as for the mission, I just need to eliminate him, which means I've completed it. I always play on the highest difficulty level; this lame veteran is getting on my nerves.

well what can I say, such things happen often (it happened in both the 2nd and 3rd missions)
it's a shame (since it's a glitch) but it's no tragedy.
after all, you just have to press the next button
and the script will execute everything correctly
(I actually got scared when the clip repeated 3 times, but fortunately pressing the next button cured the bug)

but I've never been kicked from one mission to another :eek:

Well, I finally got around to playing the campaigns! I really enjoyed the campaign for the demons. I started playing the human campaign yesterday as well. I took my time and finished it in one day. As always, I played on my favorite difficulty level – hard. On this level, all the campaigns (except for the first three missions for humans) can be completed in a minimum of two attempts, and a maximum of three. The extended playtime on the scenario maps has been beneficial.
P.S. I haven't been on the forum for a while due to internet problems.
