First this Mithrim:
http://rapidshare.de/files/19093087/NvsP.rar.html
Just unzip into data folder. It's Necro vs Sylvan.
Then this (have to have above one Necro/Syl mod installed):
http://rapidshare.de/files/19449637/Academy_vs_Dungeon.zip.html
From karacha:
Unzip them wherever you want, and copy "SS2" file into
Data\Maps\SingleMissions\SS2 folder in your HoMM V folder (after you have Necro vs. Sylvan installed). Overwrite.
Then copy GameMechanics folder to Data folder in your HoMM folder. Overwrite.
Also, this will 'screw' Haven campaign map, as again critters there will be Academy ones. :-)
To uninstall, just delete those files.

First this Necro vs Sylvan mod.
Not sure where you have the problem, so will go from the start.
Download it (when on page, click that 'free' button, then wait while counter comes to zero, enter that 'code' and then download button), and unzip it into data folder.
It's winrar format though, so not sure if winzip works.
And if you did all this, and still doesn't work, then really not sure what it is. Works for me.

OK...i finally could made it and win the scenario on week 5 day 7. To be honest, i didnīt know what to do to win the scenario, but when i conquered the town to the very north east, message came "You won!"
And i played without any devils, coz i lacked again badly in mercury.
This "gating" helps a lot though...even in first 2 weeks.
"Break" through the griffins guarding the gate was start week 4. Donīt know if that is slow or fast...but i will try it on different difficulty next time.
Edit:
I read the walkthrough on the first page again now, and it seems i have missed those 2 neutral stacks of succubi this time. Prolly i mixed it with the campaign mission and therefor forgot about them.
So i did the fight without those reinforcement, but it seems i got lucky and the main blue hero was running around on the map, while there was a weaker one in the town (not sure if he has more than 1 hero though..). The town was guarded by 200 marksmen, 350 conscripts, 1 Archangel, 130 knights, 65 griffins....canīt remember the cavs/paladins though...
This is how iīve done it:
I cleared the map in north direction till the hellhound dwell, and then went back to get new army on day 8. Day 8 i killed earthelementals for the boots and went northeast to the pitlord dwell.
Cleaned the map and waited day 14 at the pitlord dwell.
Bought the armies out of the dwell day 15, went back to town, bought all army and went to the griffs guarding the gate.
Killed the 13 Rakashas guarding the hillfort, upgraded all army (16 pitlords, 21 nightmares, 22 misstress succubi, 30 cerberi, 60 horned overseers, 130 familiars that time). From there, i went north / northeast, through 2 garrisons (or 3?), while the last one was quite tough (without loosing an army i mean). And then i stood in front of that town.....

That's the key point in the scenario.  Quote:

There's no Pit Lord dwelling.

OK...played it on "hard" today, took the Haven town on day 6 week 6. This time i took those 2 stacks of Succubi with me. Normal succubi were 22, the Mistress 50 (took them day 1 week 5). I had no Devils, and no nightmares with me. I didnīt attack the randomn level 6 at the hillfort, coz they have been 19 pitlords. My experience with them (and their meteorshower) lead me to the decision to let them be..lol
Noticed some things though:
- The "Military post" to the north east just gave Succubi this time...5 every week. Last game (normal), there were pitfiends, hellcharger and succubi
- I attacked those earthelementals guarding the boots again on day 8, but this time they were 27. Still no problem to beat them without losses
- The ghosts guarding the goldmine were 38. 19 normal and 19 upgrade. I canīt tell how often i read "miss" when my units hit them, so i lost this battle on day 4 and had to reload. Next try same day, went way better.
Will try it on "Heroic" the next days and share my experience then aswell...
Edit:
"Heroic" difficulty is quite a challenge though.
Not only u start with lesser resources (5 of all + 10k gold), but the number of every creatures on the map are higher. Still u can use nearly the same tactic. Only difference for me in underground was, i didnīt take the goldmine in week 1, coz there were hordes of ghosts, and i lost some units vs. the hordes of skel archers already.
But week 2 was the same as on "hard". Day 8 attacked the earthelementals. They were 36 this time...tough battle..but doable with gating and distraction...
78 imperial griffins guarded the underground gate (week 4).
I took his town start week 7, while he went for reflag his mines in the southeast. Learned summon creature there, so i went back to the well, where the spectral dragons were placed. got me all creeps from my town and went for him. Endfight was month 2, week 4, day 6.

Heh, just played on Heroic as well.
No way to attack those Earth Elems on day 8, think I did it in week 3 at earliest. Anyway...
Week 1, skels at start, imps and imp dwelling, then wood and ore mines. Beating skel archers then getting both hell hound dwells. Haven't attacked mine just yet, horde of ghosts as well. Managed to build succubus dwell. Waited there week two, got 16 more hell hounds, then getting the mine, and also beating zombies and golems near the town. Week 3, might be those earth elems, and high level critters dwelling, don't remember now exactly. Know that arrived on surface at start of month two with two devils and 6 nighmares, so two weeks worth of them. So, I guess, no week 3 for them at the end.
When up, beating critters near the hillfort was the only challenge that is left. Been there 36 ancient treants. Ugh, slow...but very, very durable. Lost all 6 nightmares. It was easy upstairs as said, had summon critters spell. Blue hero went wandering about, took his castle, learned some spells I haven't used, and went back to hillfort. He retook his castle (hoped he will, as known bug that he sometimes does not retake it), screwed his one week production. Got all the troops from my castle (Month 3, Week 1 - had 11 Archies, 24 Pit Lords, 33 upgraded Nightmares, 180 Succubus Mistress, 83 Cerberus, 350 Demon Overseers (250 joined), and 200 some familiars. Was Month 3, Week 2, Day 2 when I fought blue in his castle. He had 12 Archangels, 23 Paladins, 30 Inquisitors, 65 Imperial Griffins, 200 Squires, and 300 some Marksmen. No chance for him.
But now I'm somewhat bugged here. When I last played on Heroic, blue had much more troops, especially paladins and marksmen, and I could've swear it wasn't that much later game time when I encoutered him in that previous game...guess it could've been some joiners then. And I did killed 180 militiamen when taking his castle first time, so didn't managed to upgrade them to marksmen/archers. Still bugged then about Paladins.
Angelito, how many troops he had when you engaged him?

Those earthelementals arenīt that hard to beat. All i had were 15 succubi, an ammocart, a balista, 30 imps, 30 demons and about 15 hellhounds. I made 3 stacks of 3 imps each. All these stacks are able to use "gating". They have very high initiative, so i could manage to keep 2 of the 4 stacks of earthelementals to the northeast corner of the field, while i distracted the other 2 stacks with my "gated" hellounds, big imp stack and demons.
Hillfort was guarded by 31 pitlords this time....too strong middle week 4. So i took those 2 stacks of succubi joiners and went back to town again to get more troops. With 20 pitfiends, 78 mistress, 58 succubi, 21 hellchargers and other fodder i faced them. and killed them by loosing 9 chargers.
I wonder where u found all the mercury to build devils and even build up your mageguild. I hade to trade all my wood and ore to be able to build the pit dwell.
His town was just protected by 300 conscripts and some sylvan troops (joiners i guess). When i met him for endfight, he had 10 Archangels, 22 Champions, 65 griffins, 200 marksmen, 140 knights, 35 Inquisitors and all warmachines. I lost my warmachines vs the pitlords and theri meteorshower though. I was expert in balista.
But still i survived the endfight with 100 mistress and 14 pitlords. Lost 12 nightmares, 100 overseers, 64 imps, 10 pitlords and about 40 misstress.

Had some piles of mercury, but built dwelling only in second month after I got mine. Got 3 per week, guess that Inferno dwelling also boosts same critters as in castle. And that dwelling now gave me both devils and nighmares. Sometimes before they would give just one devil, or just pit lords, and once all they gave was succubus.
As for mage guild, not that expensive. All in all 4 precious resources for level 3. 1 for lv.2, 3 for lv.3. And specifically wanted lv.3 for summon creatures spell.
Pit Lords, eh? Guess I should be lucky for having treants.

The tavern has been disabled on purpose, so you have to play with only one hero. You'll be able to recruit Cerberi in external dwellings nearby.

Has anyone completed the first single scenario called "A Tear for Ossir"? Your main hero is a Ranger seeking for the Grail, but there are no obelisks (at least I cannot find them). There is a Tear of Asha Vision ability, but it's not available to Rangers. What am I supposed to do - recruit a level 1 Warlock...?!
The optional goal is to "follow the signs", but those contain random "witty" remarks with no real info on the story.

Heh, I'm just playing that map...and just beat blue. Now have time for rest.
Anyway, one clue said "Where I learned something", so there could be couple of options. Tree of knowledge, maybe some other boosters, or area where I found +1 on mastery necklace. Still, will clear the map first, prolly some more hints are there.
And hoping for haven hero in tavern.

It is not health, it is WEALTH, it hints to the signpost next to the crypt underground.
And no the last sign isn't underground. I know what it says but telling it would spoil the whole fun.

Tear for Ossir
I got the take 2 steps back message from the signpost that's in front of the underground exit. Iv'e already read the sign post next to the mausolem, it sent me to the surface. The other underground sign has a nonsense message- and so do all the other signs (the one by the sanctuary and the one by the leprachan next to the lake that is close to the last Blue town. All the other signpost I've visited have either already given me a message or just nonsense. I count ten signposts, am I missing one somewhere? I'm getting very frustrated here...

That map's ending was completely ridiculous. Zehir found Cyrus, who turned out to be not Cyrus, but Markal's spirit in disguise or something. They then have a battle. If you win, there is no ending sequence, just a victory screen.
