Red Sands Mod/Add-On Discussion - potential SPOILERS

Ok, I have another question: If I applied this language patch, and then a better one released and I apply the better, will I have to restart the whole game for the new patch to work ? ( Sorry, I'm dumb, never tried it before )

No you wont have problems with it , just check new files and replace eng translated, with already existing in your game folder i did that and no problems so far.

I play Mage, too. And now my hero reach Lv5 and Asmo Lv2. But soling with Asmo is really hard. He now has only 205 HP and I almost cleared Debir. I dont have any undead with me. Asmo only do ~50-70 Dmg per round. Does it mean if I want to solo with Asmo I have to play again and use him only ? Or can I continue with my path, use RuneMage to heal him and stuff ?

I'm not sure, as I have multiple games with a higher level Asmo etc, but he isn't the primary guy, he is a big support role. Based on what I am seeing so far though, I would say you might need some key abilities before he can be a deadly force.

Healing him with rune mages is ok, but the problem is he needs to do tremendous damage and/or get in the thick of battle to get more experience.

Babying Asmodeus alone isn't usually enough if you want him to be a solo powerhouse.

If he gets hit multiple times, AND survives somehow, he gets a lot more experience. If he gets hit horribly and dies, he actually does get some decent experience.

That is also why some of his skills let him smash up low level units with ZERO retaliation. This will build up his attack rating tremendously because it is based on how much damage he does.

If you use Pygmy + Doom on some level 1 monster and you use asmodeus to hit him, you will get ridiculous experience.

Or at least, that is what should happen in theory.

How and what are the new companions you can get in this mod? I have seen the assassin and the lizardman in the screenshot but since the quests are not translated, I am not sure what sequence of text I should but inputting to get them.

Some tips as i see them for lvling asmo early in game :
1) pick dragon with wall on start.
2) get 2-3 inquisitors and split them in troops of 1, for rage to build walls, and to resurect eachother when die.
3) royal thorn is great pick for summoning cannon meat.
4) and in doing all this use asmodean to kill most enemy units, your army is mainly for generating rage and summons.
5) early pick asmo skill to regen per turn/melee hit Vampirism Regeneration, Unstoppable Furious is also good chance% to attack/retaliate again, Titan is a must to keep him alive. things as lightning attack shock, evade%, steal spell with disintegration ray and such leave for later.
When possible get couple archmages to spam guardian angel medal (split them in stack`s of 1 unit and spam every 2 turn magic shield) almost no need to cast spells for medal, use mana for pugmy/doom (more exp for asmodean), or trap(great medal on 4th lvl).
As for new companions i also havent seen them because cant undestand their chat options. On Verona is 1 turn left from marshal who gives you task to liberate duke in castle. Mesmer(Montero underground can take him after defeting him for quest) is other, Kotor(assasin hero in elon/montero underground depends where you find him), there are also some other companions i havent found but all you need can read in game/sessions/red_sands/config/companion file all available companions, item slots, bonuses etc. . .
Also 1 note developer missed new Sun sprite unit in Agraves companion bonus.

What version of the mod are you using and what about the AP version? I tried to installed the russian version onto Steam version of AP and seem to miss some files because I don't even have the directory you are talking about.
