i'm back from changing the difficulty from normal to easy. and i've to say the difference is massive. creeps are lesser, the AI has a smaller scale and more managable army... there shouldn't be such a huge jump... :\ anyway it's too early to say yet, but i'm kinda rolling over almost everything. i'm on my way to save irina now.. but yeah i've stopped there. i'll report back if anything changes again >_>
and i caught the AI "cheating" as it is infamously known for 
i killed the AI's hero on one turn. i didn't have the movement points to cap his town instantly. So i ended turn and the next turn, he popped up inside his town with quite a big army.. again. lol. but still i won.. so yeah. >_>

So I'm having trouble with the first mission of stronghold. I am able to capture my first town with ease, but afterwards, it becomes more and more difficult to defend my town from haven heroes and capture the other haven towns. Also, the fight against earth elementals to obtain the harpies and centaurs is near impossible without sustaining heavy losses.
Any tips??
I played on normal (so it can be harder on hard, or maybe not if you receive more free troops, I didn't test). Take wood and ore dynasty bonus).You should be able to reach 1st town on day 6 (don't take all ressources in path, just xp chests and troops). Skills : logistics, reinforcments and regeneration on lv3. Vs fire elementals, just use reinforcments and defend, don't attack with orcs just hero.
You should have at least 20 mana at this point. On day 6 capture town with no losses (if archers kill one mauler use regeneration otherwise reinforcment), build tavern, hire hero with economist skill and give all troops to Sandor. Second hero goes collect all ressources Sandor left in the way. On day 7 convert dwelling and town.
Sandor beats sisters near learning stone, kills earth elementals guarding ressources and goes to free the goblins. hire another hero with economist too that follows Sandor. Give troops to 3th hero and kill the sentinels near town that Sandor didn't have time to kill in order to reach town on day 6. Give back troops to Sandor. Next week, Sandor frees goblins, and opens path to second dwelling, then immediately goes to free the centaurs and harpies on day 5 or 6. You can split goblins for traps and distribute damage of chain lightning from air elementals (they will aim at the orcs). With regeneration and later reinforcments you should with with no losses. use reinfcments only when orcs are healed (needs wait). Then capture second town, after visiting mana pool, you will lose few troops, I lost 2 centaurs and 6 maulers (you can restart if you want to have less casualties but no need) and it's ok since you gain much with that town. Convert town, build centaurs and harpies in 1st town. The rest is easy ... .

Ok, so I'm in the second map of the Stronghold campaign and I haven't picked a side yet. I'm edging towards the blood class, but I kinda want to do the tears side of that map's quest, because I want the might dynasty weapon and kinda because I don't like Sharka. So if I do the tears quest, can I still turn to blood later? Has anyone tried this? I know the quest text says that it's permanent, but it only says that to me if I have picked.

So I fast forward though this tread and I ve seen the tear bug mentioned a few times, but what are the solution ?
Do I have to replay the firsdt campaign, or can a hotfix save my problem or is there other solutions

Help me plz :-)

If you do the tears side you can become friendly with the other faction. And then become enemies of Sharka. However, if you save the game, and THEN do this, just reload the game and you will still have the weapon. You can then do the blood side and become enemies with both of the other factions and finish the map while getting all possible weapons.

I am on the 3rd map and am unable to get past it. I can't survive the continuous onslaught of sanctuary armies. There must be something simple that i am missing and i don't know what it is. Very frustrated. Would love some suggestions. Thanx in advance.

Yes, there is. There's an entrance northwest of the tpwn in the middle of the map. Sandor actually makes a comment near that area.

Ah, thanks! I missed it, although I made all quests and cleared everything (ressources and creeps). I think I saw something that looked like a cavern but my cursor didn't change so I quickly abandoned thinking it was just for decoration. I'll check my last saves if I can come back to visit it...
edit : oups, sorry, I remember now, it was where the special warpath structure is. I visited it of course, I just forgot since it was so early . As a note, this structure is extremely useful during all the map, not only 1 week duration as in the towns, that's a nice bonus .

Can someone provide a video or the text from the last dialogue in Map 3 because I accidentally pressed skip and I didn't save before the battle?

Might hero, Tear path, on hard,,, (had heal, regeneration, reinforcement as main things)
This is what I did and I barely lost any soldiers... literally
Day 1
Airani and Sandor go to the east and north east, Sandor is taking the fort on the north west (maulers), while Airani goes for one on the west (goblins)
on day 3 you have bought another hero and sent him to the south, centaur fort...
day 5 sanctuary heroes appear, day 6 Sandor is in the upper fort waiting for the first attack....
week 2, advanced teleporting, mana replanishment, Airani and 3rd hero gave you their army, now you are strong enough for whoever comes your way...
Airani has went to the upper underground for dreamwalkers....
Fight off the enemy heroes, dont wait for them to attack, just kill them off as soon as you can, if you have to sacrifice a fort, eastern one (goblins)
week 3 you have some breathing space, airani and hero 3 are collecting army and resources (dont give up on even one wood)
Sandor went to free cyclops, above the northwestern fort, you kill lamasu, move to the west, kill kirins and free cyclops, as soon as you have done that advanced teleport and wait for another attack, airani with basic teleport to the fort next to cyclops for the army and resources, third hero walking around collecting...
week 4-5-6 whenever you fight them off you have a few days, in those days you need to kill lamasu on your upper left side to get jaguars and to go through the underground on your right side and kill the ghosts enabling airani or hero3 to free harpies and to do the necro task....
week 7till the end you wait within your castle for the naga dude, he will have slightly less than 30 kirins... If you have done as instructed I doubt you will have too many casualties even the last fight is a joke,,,, Main things to do - advanced teleport, basic teleport and mana replanishment.... Dont give up any forts, you simply teleport there and kill the enemy,,, dont let them run around, kill them as soon as you see them, be agressive and it will be easy....
Hope it helps, good luck

Does this Tears bug trigger %100 ? I have a Tears Sandor and now at the start of the 2nd map and just read about this bug. And if it is %100 then I won't waste my time. I have choosen my Tears reputation in the first map and it was already strange the game gave +200 Blood for completing the quest altough I have Tears. Is there anyone who had Tears in the 1st map and didn't get the bug in the 2nd map?

It is 100% and I'm very disappointed that ubi didn't even address this issue in 1.1.1. How hard can it be fixing this bug?

Ah, thanks, it worked that way . I was lv24 and nothing interesting to do, I think I killed all other sanctuary heroes, the last being lv 2o (maybe the trigger?) since I already tried to pass turn in town. Anyway it worked on 3-1-2, the final naga hero was no challenge at all. At least I have the warlord set now.

To those who are new to HOMM games: on Map 1, you HAVE to capture the first town in week 1. On several playthroughs I missed it by a day, and I made myself capture it by day 7 week 1. Because if I hadn't, I would've missed a week's worth of creatures, a week's worth of gold the town would've generated for me, and probably a few structures I would've built. I would've lost a tremendous headstart to my opponent. The same goes for all the towns you're going to capture on the map. If you can help it, try to capture it on or before day 7 instead of putting it off to next day 1.
Heroes VI adds a new wrinkle to the rule: you usually have to capture a town on DAY SIX, not 7. This is because you need day 6 to convert the town, and day 7 to build extra creature dwellings in the town to maximize your creature gain.

First map question: where is Crag Hack's Helmet? A sign said it's there, where is it?

You find the helmet before mission 4 and it will finish the warlord artifact set if I remember well. I don't think you can find it in mission 1 despite what says the signpost.
