I got an offline editor, thanks! I'll install and test it tonight. I have maps where the author stated that they are impossible to complete without an editor. Although, I managed to complete a couple of them with some difficulty, and I was surprised myself.
Regarding the length of the Walkthrough – it probably varies for everyone. What might take me a year or more, another player might be able to complete in much less time. As for Dreamland, I'm to blame; I dragged out the game, although I could have finished it in a year or a year and a half (I can't say for sure).
I have a question about the map "The Empire of the World II." Several years ago, I started this map, brought Maximus to King Arthur, went through the whirlpool, and encountered Xyron with Ignatius' avatar. I couldn't defeat him and saved the game for a better time. After reinstalling Windows, the save was lost. A couple of months ago, I started the German map "Das Weltreich II." This map is practically a complete copy of "The Empire of the World," with the only difference being Maximus' avatar – here, it's Roland's face. All other heroes are the same, and the Walkthrough is identical. And here, after passing Arthur, I encountered Xyron, who immediately attacked, defeated me, and disappeared, using a teleport. Moreover, he specifically waited until I arrived, although he could have teleported earlier...
UPD The map is most likely a translation into German.
And the 3rd option, with the original game. A friend was playing, and he couldn't find a way to reach Arthur. I helped him, first with advice, then by joining him directly. I don't know if the reason was me or my computer, but here, Xyron simply passed by Maximus, took the Hell Castle, and settled in it. And we passed through the green gate and continued. We reached Genghis Khan, but it was already too late; I had to go home, and my friend decided to continue on his own.
