Well, if you rush straight to the end of the map to reach Isabel, then of course there's nothing unrealistic about it, but it's not interesting to me. What's the point of playing the campaign if you're just trying to rush from one scenario to the next? Of course, it's a matter of taste; some people probably enjoy speedruns, but I like to explore the entire map, level up my hero as much as possible, and, of course, give the annoying AI a good beating.

The strangeness and illogicality of Heroes 5 is that the slower you play, the fewer final points you get for the campaign/scenario. But it's nice to see yourself in your own top 10 of the game.

You can move the hero at a snail's pace. You'll still be in first place.

The problems only arise when exiting the dungeon. I read recommendations to go through the weak garrison near the shrine (although the danger level is actually High there). But then, not only do you have to break through it with losses, but Daleb also attacks and, by the way, destroys the ballista, which you can't get anywhere else. I didn't do it that way. Railag has maxed-out logistics, and Shadia has boots. After exiting to the surface and upgrading the scouts, we go straight down, boldly bypassing the blue city. Railag goes around to the right and manages to break through the last garrison at the bottom and climb back up a bit, while Shadia, on the same turn, bypasses the blue city on the left and ends her movement right at the gates. The losses in the auto-battle are 10 lizards and a fury, but the main thing is to save the hydras. Then Daleb (or Grol, which doesn't really matter) attacks Railag, not Shadia. We fight manually; all casualties are heroes, but we are left with 350 assassins and, importantly, all the hydras. We give Railag all the remaining dogs from the basement, and they both safely exit past the garrison. With this setup, the battle against Wier becomes a Medium difficulty, not a hopeless or High difficulty, as it would be if we went through the "weak garrison" mentioned at the beginning. P.S. The trick with the auto-battle against Wier is that the AI casts only Empowered Armageddon for Railag. And if there isn't enough "stupid" hydra meat, then, of course, you lose. If we fight manually, then, of course, we first reduce the number of demons on the enemy side and use all the mass-damage spells, depending on the enemy's formation. By the way, there is an unclaimed Titan's Trident lying around at the exit of the dungeon, so if someone loves casting lightning spells, it's worth picking it up. An enhanced Chain Lightning is also a useful thing.

How many Hydras did you lose on auto-battle?

And if it's the last battle of a mission, I don't count or even look at the result, except for the points earned.

And I, on the contrary, always try to complete battles with minimal losses, right up to the very end of the mission.

By the way, I remembered about Hydras. When Enhanced Armageddon is cast (it deals 1350 damage at that moment), it kills 9 of its own Hydras in one go (we don't count the rest of the minor creatures), so if there are about 30 of them left, that's fine. In 3 turns, it can defeat Warlord.

Well, that's another option.

I also couldn't complete mission 5. I captured 2 towns, then encountered Grok in the center, and he defeated me. I replayed, taking "Skilled Darkness" in mission 2, and in the upper right corner of the Dragon Castle, I acquired Vampirism + Dominate, which are on the 2nd level. After that, the problems in mission 5 disappeared; I defeated everyone without losses, only losing 5 dragons after 2 Demon Castles and Grok, but I converted them into Black Dragons and stopped losing them. I mostly used only one spell: general slow + general weaken; enemies practically stop moving. If anyone still manages to injure me, Vampirism replenishes all losses, and I can Dominate the enemy so they sit still and don't die prematurely. I rarely used Chaos magic, sometimes finishing off enemies with "Freezing Cold." I was lucky; it's a pity that Light didn't appear, as it has equally useful resurrection and mass speed spells like Vampirism and mass slow in Darkness.

In my opinion, Warlocks don't even have Darkness in their spell list.
