Map
Map description>:
The map contains an Ocean with 40 islands. Avid map explorers moving across them in random order can expect quizzes and cooking contests, darts and chess, friendships with naked women and other mythical creatures, Everything and Nothing, and many other games, puzzles, and little tricks. Actually, the Island of Truth is being sought in this Ocean — but who knows what they'll find.
Streams featuring the map can be watched on abenheiser or ColdWarrior. Based on their Walkthroughs, I can say that a full completion may take from 20 to 40 hours. Less so on lower difficulties.
More annoyingly, you will need a clean Equilibris 3.6.
Essentially, the map was made for ColdWarrior's adaptation contest, but after that, it was expanded for a good part of the year. It is based on the literary masterpiece by Yuri Koval, though only loosely; familiarity with the original is not required, as it contains a lot of personal twists and deviations. Actually Actually, this is a kind of finale to one person's 20-year acquaintance with the editor and attempts to create something with it. Perhaps other people who for some reason haven't forgotten the most forgotten part of Heroes will also like it.
Additionally, you can (and are even encouraged to) install music:
Yandex archive and Google archive
People say it helps with the atmosphere and mood. To install, replace the files in the Data folder, having first copied or renamed the originals elsewhere.
