I don't see this mentioned anywhere.
In the final Haven mission in the original Heroes 5, it's possible for Agrael to attack your hero with legions of troops if you get in his way at the end of the level when he's heading towards Nicolai.
This happened to me the very first time I played through the mission. I had Isabel sitting just outside of the gate next to the demon town with legions of troops, then Agrael came out of no where and killed me.
At first I thought that Agrael had grabbed the legions of troops from the gate, but it turns out he just started with them.
Edit: If you exclude some of your creates from combat in tactic's mode, and then win the battle with only living creatures you resurrected with Raise Dead then your hero disappears, as if they were defeated. The game thinks you no longer have an army, and even says that you won the battle but have no army left, despite the presence of your men you excluded from that battle.
I discovered this bug when playing the Markal campaign. I got 2 shadow dragons (who showed up in a weekly event) to join my army. Then I excluded all of my undead from a battle against some archers, to avoid losing any undead. I had to use raise dead multiple times on my 2 shadow dragons after 1 was killed, but I won the battle with 1 shadow dragon left, only to lose the campaign because the game thought Markal had no army.
I know creatures excluded from combat disappearing is listed as a confirmed bug here, but I haven't had any trouble with disappearing creatures I excluded from battle until now.
Edit #2: Just finished the necromancer campaign, and I did not see the video where Nicolai gets resurrected. All I saw was Markal, Isabel, and Godric talking after Godric lost. I recall reading others say that they haven't seen the video either when winning the undead campaign. I know that there's a video because I beat this campaign a couple of years ago and saw it.
