Thats first time I hear of that, the mission should end right away after you defeat Biara (after a cutscene)

You need to have a sizable army in the garrison of Syris Thalla. Put about all of your army in the garrison and end turn, that should do it (the objective only triggers if the garrison is properly manned at start of turn)

Mission 5: The Vampire Lord
I got the 4 pieces of Dwarven artifacts and exchanged them for 5 phoenixes, went straight for Nicholai, and found him sitting in his fortress with 4 Archliches!! He's dead before the battle even begins thanks to Findan's unique skill.  And no, I didn't take out any other undead heroes except the SW and the underground towns.

What do you have, and what does he have? What is your Findan build and what time is it that you face Nicolai? Usually people would advise you to rush as fast as you can.
However, I've heard that sometimes people see tens of thousands of spectral dragons in Nicolai's army. This is probably a bug.

actually this is the fastest i can go to defeat nicolai, i got him cornered at his castle for about 2 weeks with 6k skel archer, 700 ghost, 250 lich, 160 wraith, 390 vampire, and 123 spec dragons, and i have 2 heroes to defeat him, my first hero is "orson" lv 25 necromancer with 500 zombies, 38 green dragons, 600 pixies, 500 blade dancers, 21 spec dragons, 52 wraiths, and 350 ghost, my other hero is findan with 440 hunter, 1,2k skel archer, 220 druid elder, 130 treants, 130 unicorn, 250 vampire, and 60 lich. and i took logistic, light magic, leadership, and luck for his skills. is it okay??? or should i take other skills like destructive magic? or maybe i should restart and try faster..? maybe i was a little bit slow at the beginning....

Let's see... you have 440 hunters.
For a full-built town you get 14 hunters per week, and you have 2 towns + the hunter cabin. Mostly you get 35 hunters weekly.
This means that you have probably allowed at least 13 weeks to pass (should be more because you build towns up from scratch). So you are at least week 2 month 4, or realistically somewhere in month 5-6.
That's a little slow.

Fight fire with fire
Mission 5: the vampire lord
People seem to be suggesting "cheats" like Sandro's cloak + Puppet master, but my Findan was a poorly trained hero, with Attack, Defence, Luck, Light magic and that useless ranger ability where you specialize against particular enemies (which I never used in the entire campaign).
I started out normally, took the first portal around week 3, lost major units capturing the first necromancer town. Went back for reinforcements, then took the second portal that takes you underground. Fought through thousands of neutral imps and sprites, got to the central necro town, lost almost my entire army capturing it (due to 1500
skeleton archers). Hero-chained more sylvan troops to my hero, and started building up the necro towns while I explored.
Eventually captured the other underground necro town, built up a fairly good sylvan army (around 400 sprites, 300 war dancers, 250 master hunters, 150 druids, 100 unicorns, 80 trees, 12 dragons), and took the portal to the south west island, where Nicolai crushed me with his 6000 skeleton archers, 1200 zombies, 1000 ghosts, 500 vamps, 250 liches, 30 spectral dragons. Twice. With me defending a castle.
I thought about restarting the entire campaign and training up Findan differently, but I was too lazy to, so instead I loaded just before Nicolai attacks me, instant-travelled past him and back underground (he doesn't follow you underground - in fact, nobody ever comes underground), and tried to outproduce him.
Of course, with Nicolai's side having 3 necro towns and me only 2 sylvan towns, I would never outproduce him. So I decided to accumulate spectral dragons (you get 3 for each of your 3 necro towns, and 2 for each sylvan town - use the shine of the netherworld to covert green dragons to bone dragons, then upgrade bone dragons - that's 13 dragons per week!), and skeleton archers (again convert sprites to skeletons, and upgrade). By the way, YOU DON'T LOSE ANY MORALE FOR MIXING UNDEAD AND SYLVAN TROOPS. Within a month or two I had 2000 skeleton archers and 100 spectral dragons in my army. When I tried to fight Nicolai again, I still lost - but it was a lot closer.
I carried on producing units, and I stumbled upon Lucretia, level 24 necromancer, in my tavern - a heaven send! I hired her, and gave her all my troops and the unicorn horn bow (it's always there, underground, about halfway along the path running down the left of the map, very hard to see tho, it's guarded by cerebri - there's 2 groups close together). She went underground, and fought the legions of imps, hell hounds, gryphins, and other neutral troops. By the end of month 7, she raised me 20500 skeleton archers!
With Findan's final army (20500 skeleton archers, 700 war dancers, 600 master hunters, 400 druids, 250 unicorns, 150 trees, and 220 spectral dragons) I resurfaced, only to see Nicolai running away from me this time. I easily captured the necro towns, killed the remaining neutral spectral dragons and brought the dawn, then attacked him in his castle.
He had 8000 skeleton archers, 2500 zombies, 1500 ghosts, 900 vamps, 450 liches, 250 wights, and 180 spectral dragons. My strategy was simple, surround my shooting units with my melee units to protect them and just defend with melee units while shooting units shot. The initial shots reduced Nicolai's army to 6000 skeleton archers, my master hunters to 4000, my druids to 3500, and my skeletons finished them off first round. The liches then killed almost all my master hunters, but luckily the master hunters were surrounded with skeletons and bone dragons and the death cloud hurt no-one else. Next round skeleton archers killed all the liches. Then the melee troops started coming towards me, my skeleton archers killed an entire stack per shot, so it was over quickly with very few casualties on my side.
So best way to defeat thousands of skeleton archers... is with even more skeleton archers ;-).
Good luck.

That's great. Just wondering about the morale penalty:
Yes the Necro units don't mind where you put them, but aren't the Sylvan units lose some morale because you are mixing them up with some evil-aligned units?

The sylvans get only a -1 I think as long as your hero is sylvan.

You can try bringing Findan back to the starting Sylvan town, and swap him in and out.
Did you get cutscenes after taking the NE and SW Inferno towns, giving you 1 and 5 emerald dragons, respectively?
Neutrals grow at a rate of ~10% a week. If you wait for 8 months, then you expect to see 20 wraiths turning into 20 x (1.1)^(32) = 422.
You can learn resurrection in the next mission, which has potentially two level 5 Sylvan mage guilds.

Tx, i'll try this
Findan was in the Sylvan town when a secondary hero captured the last inferno town. I'll try to take him out, then in again. I hope this works because don't want to replay this mission. It was boring, a lot of going up and down the map as the other player jammed the northern island with boats and i could not land there.
And - yes i got the cutscenes after taking the first and the last enemy town but no dragons at all

Something is wrong. You should have the dragons. Taking an inferno town without Findan might be your problem, as the script might not be able to give Findan emerald dragons when he is not around. This has never happened to me, though. If taking Findan in and out of the Sylvan town does not work, I guess you can just use the console to give you the win.
@Win()
To avoid jammings the shore, you can hire new heroes in the Sylvan town, let them summon ship, and disband the hero (and thus the ship). After 2-3 those ships will be gone, but you lose some money from the hiring).
