First Inferno mission is impossible, I need help.

[Zuckerhund ®]

Playing on normal, just wasted hours fighting a mission that I can't beat...again. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, so a proper walkthrough or any tips are greatly appreciated. I keep bleeding hellhounds, and just when I thought everything was peachy, the hero under a brown banner keeps coming back with an incredible army.

I don't think it's fair. I beat them back once before already, how'd they get an army the same size so quickly? In just one week's time! This has never happened in any of the previous scenarios, it's so ridiculous.

Just avoid to many casuties(pick regeneration and use it tactically might help).
I did the mission today, and it is indeed very long. But, if you can take and hold all the other towns(before the gate opens and that guy comes out), you should be able to generate a lot of minions and eventually be strong enough to beat his main army at the castle(after which a special fight triggers, which was awesome btw).

I also split my Liilm into 2 groups(1 about 30% bigger than the other), so that I can use their ability more often(sooo good to keep high damage targets from engaging, while you take out all the other stuff).

But yeah, regeneration probably saved me 50+ hounds.

the games against Artificial Intelligence are about GROW, you need as fast get the most cities for get the biggest armies, i cities on strategic locations portal level 2 and in those long way from enemy just level 1... You need also use good perks ONE AND FOR SURE: "planeswalker", TWO: "Explorer", THREE: "Gilded Seat" , FOUR: "Merchant", *FIFT*: "PERSUADER" is a Danse Macable for campaign finish reward, it makes you possible to recruit 50% of a city units after conquer it, is good to full build a city as close to an another one making AI instantly conquer it and you need to reconquest it... you army will be the biggest in game after few times doing it. you need also skills most usefull in campaigns; level1: "Enligthtenment", level2: "Logistics", level3: "Pathfinding", level 4: "Economist I " and at level5: "Snatch". Keep teleport follow cities instantly by city portals, AI on first inferno mission tend to attack you about 2-3 days before end of the week so be in this time already in a city ready for teleport there where you enemies are, divide in every fight Succubies to (FULL), 1 , 1 , 1 and use they STUN abylity on enemies. NOW you are READY finish this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mission on HARD, when you fight as Azkall <3 you need to keep him away from cerberus of XANA always and slowly killing them by abylities! :P I HOPE I HELP YOU ALOT

No. I have no interest in muliplayer. I've played aproximately 10,000+ games of heroes 3 but only custom maps vs AI. I've tried every version after but never more than just once through the campaigns, and once through the included maps. Didn't like any of 4 through 6 enough to even look at player made maps.
