    Welcome on this forum

    Probably one of the toughest missions in the game (there are not many)/ no bug.

    The key to your victory are Adar-Malik's skills and his mastery in fire magic. Spend skillpoints on Fire Magic skills (and try to reach grandmaster if you are playing random skills). Use Firewall and Firebolt in the combat. Or you can use Armageddon if you keep only Cabirs and/or gargoyles in your army/use in the combat as they are immune to fire.

    I'm not sure if another bug is still in the game but the heroes tended to move southwards to the oasis. If you conquer it and then teleport to your town, it is possible many enemy heroes will move to the oasis instead of attacking you.

    And one more tip: If anything else does not work, try to play "cat and mouse" play with your enemy. Escape their heroes and conquer their towns, before the enemy comes escape again.

    Hope something of this helps you.

    Thank you for your answer.I'm playing with the Necropolis so its hard to play with Armagheddon.The heroes are always playing with earth magic and i lose very quickly.I stand i keep going pres enter to pass all over the days and make army.But the AI makes double or even triple army. (
    I dont know what to do anymore.I think that the game is really hard or really bug-ed at this level.

    The best thing to do in that mission is just push straight to the end from Day 1. Don't bother with your town at all, just go. Rely on the spells you got on Map 1 and Master Necromancy and you should be ok. In Week 3, a level 30 hero with a ton of Gargoyles is released on the map, and you have little chance at that point.

    Sorry for confusion, as Adar Malik is originally a wizard and this mission is full of academy towns, I always tend to think you begin with one, too.

    It's totally ok that each game has some more difficult missions :-) And this one is also doable, even on the highest difficulty without rushing.

    You should be able to get quite a strong army very quickly thanks to Necromancy skill. Skeletons and banshees are a nonsense to hire as you can get "unlimited" amount of them in combat through Necromancy. Also the perk which resurrects skeletons after their each attack is useful if you have many of them - and you usually have.

    You can get even more troops if you build town fortifications as soon as possible - they are free and they recharge automatically with passing days. During the combat, stay behind town walls with you Fire Magic.

    Or try the trick with oasis if it still works.
