That's not a bug, that's a feature. In the HotA campaign maps there are some heroes with insanely high levels (1000 or so) which makes their speciality incredibly strong. In your examples their speciality was Air Shield and Serpent/Dragon Flies.
Edit: Sorry, started to write my post before AlexSpl posted theirs.

At campaign map 4's final stretch. The Dryope fight really needs reworking. Let me explain.
Essentially, the idea was is to use exploding cloned automatons stack which ignores defense, around 80 of them or so. You need to do this around 7 times to stop the golems. However, there are many holes in this which makes it stupidly hard to implement.
1) The Diamond Golems boosted by Haste will just go after your Automatons. If they die, the clone disappears.
2) It hinges on the hero being able to cast multiple spells in one turn. Clone and then Cure for the frenzy or Slow for the golems to stop your army being shredded.
3) If you use Efreeti Sultans which have fire spell immunity, the diamond golems will just stay in the center and one shot them with Haste buff.
4) Dryope is camping in a Castle. More often than not, the clones will just get picked off by the arrow towers while the golem defend.
5) The Castle walls are ironically the only thing stopping the Golems from kicking the rest of your army. You cannot destroy the catapult unless you use AOE spells.
6) The Sentinel Automatons have no enemy retaliation. This also means that the clone cannot trigger the explosion unless you purposely use the base versions.
After trying to use the "intended" strategy for 45 mins, I just went saved up 80+ spellpower and around 2k spell points. Used my stack of Efreeti Sultans to have them run around and use summon elemental spell. The elementals soaked the golems while I cast an orb-buffed Lightning Bolt on them over and over at 3k damage. It was only 2-3 golems per cast at every 3 rounds or so. Took me 1500 spell points and 100+ rounds.
On another note, when you reach Agar's camp for the first time at the dark blue keymaster tent, why is there a one-way gate at all? All it does is block out the quest guard and seer's hut behind it if you didn't finish them first as you most likely didn't kill the hero beforehand.
