How do you cast a spell with the nonactive hero in a stack with 2 heroes? I have problems using a secondary hero for teleportsupport or to cast spells with a hero over water. blubb blubb!

So far I have the experience that a hero with a quest has highest priority and then the one with the highest level. If level is tied it's the one with most xp.

Please enlighten me!

Your understanding of hero order is correct.

The only way to cast a spell with the nonactive hero is to deselect the active hero. Over water that will indeed lead to your death. So all you can do it avoid it.

Note that casting over a Swamp square = water as far as a hero drowning is concerned. It's definitely not obvious until it's too late so beware.

haha, thanks! I didn't know that. Would a swampwalkbonus prevent that from happening?

No it won't help.

It's entirely due to flying. A hero who isn't flying can separate out in a swamp with no problems. But once you are flying, swamps are considered water and you drown.

If I recall correctly you also lose items you drop to the ground if you are over a swamp (same as when you are over water) when you try and transfer those items between 2 heroes.

If you have two or more flying units in the stack with your heroes, you can still do it, but you have to be careful for the reasons named above. Here's how:

1. select entire hero stack
2. click one flying unit to deselect from stack
3. click bottom right of deselected flying unit's icon to select it (remaining stack is deselected) - or use right mouse click to select it
4. with single flying unit selected, click on lower level hero to add him / her into a stack with the flying unit
5. Voila, nobody's drowned and you can cast the spell with your secondary hero
6. re-select the entire stack and go on to win the game...

Thanks for the suggestion, but as far as I know only the selected units at the time teleport is cast will follow to the city.

If it's teleport you want, there is actually a checkbox to "select all" on the dialog through which you select your spell before casting.
