| ==Bugs==
| |
| | |
| Description for scenario 2 is wrong - secondary heroes carry over from scenario 1 up to 3 included. Only scenario 4 has no carryover.
| |
| | |
| This scenario features a bug unique among SoD campaigns (with a slight exception of the secret campaign, which doesn't have the mentioned limitations at all): neither high-level [[Mage Guild]] nor overpowered, campaign-breaking spells (namely [[Dimension door]] and [[Fly]]) are banned (they are properly banned in scenarios 2-4 in EoL though). As a result, it's completely possible to do an insane rush through this campaign on Impossible Difficulty (similarly to RoA or AB campaigns), especially when combined with an [[Intelligence]]-based Magic secondary hero with [[Air Magic]] and [[Earth Magic]] (e.g. [[Caitlin]], which also gives a great starting bonus to [[Gold]]). Since Dimension Door actually allows you to "jump over" the quest item guardians in scenario 4, even with no secondary heroes to help this scenario can be completed by Day 5 (possibly even faster).
