I really don't know how you have all those dragons there but it must be a bug. Either way if you pass this mission and the next one which is pretty easy the last one is very hard so good luck

Which patch do you have? How many hunters, vampires(if you convert all your druids) and skeleton archers can you get? What bonus to stats(approximately) can your heroes get from artifacts and map locations? What skill does the which hut offer? What spells can you get your hands on(the list will probably be shorter if you say which spells you can't get)? Finally, do you happen to have any initiative modifying artifacts, sar issus ring, or +/- morale artifacts?
I could try to recreate a hero you can realistically get in the map editor, win the battle and post a replay or some pictres if I win.
I noticed that in H5 vanilla last stand is a knight and ranger exclusive perk no matter the patch and that any hero with 7 ghosts will most likely damage those dragons faster with fire breath than any army you could gather. If one such hero destroys 1/4-1/2 of the dragons, then after 10-20 heroes there will be hardly any dragons left. To avoid fire breath on 2 ghost stacks on turn one you could field them like this:
g|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|g
o|g|o|g|o|g|g|o|g|o
g=ghost, o=empty square;
or use some obstacles(if any). Warmachines might make dragons waste a turn instead of waiting if there are no ghosts in range and that may or may not help(obstacles are important and they don't seem to change from one battle with a certain stack to another).

Sylvan mission 2 Heroic - How to win?
I've tried this mission a few times and besides savescumming with try and eventually win I just don't know how to do it.
Gonna try it a bit more now and see how it goes.
My plan is to clear my island the first week and then take a boat to the middle or western Inferno town sinc the eastern Inferno town is just ultrastrong. No way I can defeat that.
This is on v.1.6.
Advanced Avenger - Rain of Arrows
Advanced Luck - Soldiers Luck
Advanced Light Magic - Righteous Might
Advanced Logistics - Pathfinding
Basic Leadeship - Recruitment
Basic Attack - Tactics
Update: I clear my island except for:
*Horde of Cerberus guarding Gemmine
*Horde of Cerberus guarding some treasures
*Horde of Succubus guarding goldmine
*Pack of Pit Lords guarding underground entrance
Findan got two weeks production of Sprites, Blade Dancers, Hunter & Druids.
Favored enemy: Familiars and Cerberus
I realized that it takes WAY too long to take the middle Inferno castle due to first landing on the left side of the map and then running around in the underground fighting powerful neutrals. My army would get devastated doing that.
I can't go further south by boat from the western landingpoint as Deleb comes by boat and is just too powerful. Waiting for her to pass by wastes turns and I also don't know what's down there....
So my only chance seems to be the eastern castle just north of your starting position but that's heavily guarded!
I DON'T have Ressurection.
I'm gonna try to catch the eastern main hero outside his town so I atleast get the town but that still leaves the hero and Deleb....
Very hard mission I have to say! No, I have never gotten to mission 4 so I have no idea how hard mission 5 is.

Thatīs the same mission I am currentzly at (I am playing on hard though). I had luck, Ossir was in tavern and I hired him and the other hero. Build hunters lounge and hired them. Cleared the enemy stack at the ore mine with main hero, cleared the wood mine with Ossir, used the third hero to flag the mines and entered with main a ship on day one. Sailed to north eastern town and could beat every hero there quite easily. On the first weak troops and heros are quite weak there. One or two weaks later they are impossible to beat.
Next town to conquer is the town in the middle of the map. This is quite difficult without losing the elven town but it can be recaptured.

There's an objective where you have to garrison the capitol with like 50 druids, 30 silver unicorns, and 10 emerald dragons. They have to stay garrisoned in the castle in order for the objective to remain complete.

Hello guys. I am a recent member of your community and I decided to look up some help, because I totally love the Heroes V game.
The second mission of this campaign is particularly hard for me and I'd want some advice on how to build my Findan.
I used some of your tactics here, but to no avail and I'm still getting beaten hard by the inferno lords.  I tried giving him Dark Magic, Luck...most skills I could think of based on the info I found on heroesofmightandmagic.com.
I tried even rushing to the SE town...Anyone could suggest me a proper strategy to beat this scenario? Thank you

Are you talking about the episode "The Emerald Ones"? If so, the difficulty of this episode depends on what skills/magics you got from last episode "The Refugees." You might want to play "The Refugees" again to have a proper build for Findan.
For example, if you get Resurrection (Light magic) or Phoenix (Summoning magic) spell from the Vault of the Mages in "The Refugees," things will be a lot easier. Skill wise, try to get Defense (or 2%-chance War Machine, even better) if you cannot get the two spells mentioned earlier.

My favourite build for 2nd Findan mission is:
(Adv. Attack -> Archery, Tactics)
Adv. Logistics -> Navigation, Pathfinding
Luck -> Magic Resistance
Defense
Light Magic -> Master of Buffs (bless, etc.)/Master of Wraith (Bloodlust, Haste)
Before attacking Demon Lords I have at least 12-13 level, then in this scenario the most important thing is QUICKNESS!
Don't wait 'till you can go underground, build a ship at the beginning of 3rd week and conquer one or two Infernos (north-east, then south-west), then return to town, go underground and conquer the third town. You have do to id quickly as the Emerald Dragons are really good support which becomes less while as the time progresses and Demons get more and more Pit Lords and Devils.
Moreover, you can seek dragons to have greater army but for already told reasons it's better to find them rather after defeating the Red Player.

I decided to replay the campaigns under 3.1, hard difficulty.
Normally you'll want a might build with light but you may be delighted to know that flaming imbued ballista is a very legit build in 3.1
You'll basically want high druids, master of ice and intelligence and you'll keep going even with little to no army. Obviously logistics is a must.
Final mission is hella long, just explore and conquer the underground and then head to Nikolai's area. But first.. you have the option to exchange the 4 dwarven artifacts for 5 phoenixes. You'll lose free autocast of mass deflect/endurance but if you defeat Nikolai with the phoenixes on you, he won't respawn. Get resistance artifacts, in my game he had both summoning and dark
Final Battle Replay
Oh, also grab this fix. The lighting in mission 5 is bugged and a complete eyesore, this mod corrects the issue.

Triple ballista is a terminator alone As much as I love Heroes V, I can't say I enjoy its imbalances. They might have wow effect when you first discover them, but in a long run they feel more and more cheaterish. And you start to think that you don't need such easy victories. I participated in the old HL tournaments and saw many edge-walking things which a regular player should avoid as long as possible In that sense, HoMM V resembles me HoMM IV. But I sincerely think, that battles should be won by army, not by heroes.

Just some replays from the golden era of HoMM V, which your humble servant had honor to belong. I have more of them, but post those which I named "new" and "old". Probably, you will laugh, as much time has passed, but that's how we played HoMM V then -
New replays (dated 2008-2010)
Old replays (dated 2008-2009)
Enjoy. Hope, you can still run these awesome parts of H5 tournament history.

Cool, thanks for the replays!
Yeah I returned to H5 a few years ago, after the H7 fiasco. I've since been tweaking H5 in simple as well as hardcoded ways to make it smoother and allow more viable builds. If you have discord hop in to see for yourself and maybe play a few games for old times' sake
I have a 3.1 version as well as a rebalanced one. If anything, you might be interested to see the manual with the changes

Holy snow, you're alive!! It's great to see you after all this time 
People normally play on gameranger or radmin vpn these days. You can find opponents on gameranger or you could join a discord server that has an existing player base. Duels also ongoing, I still remember your treant-sacrificing days haha
If you have a discord account hop in, otherwise send me on hcm
