All roads lead to Rome.

I replayed this map again, this time with the Orcs (as the main hero). As I expected, playing as the Orcs turned out to be even easier than playing as the Elves. I practically used only one hero, and by the end of the second week, I captured both cities of the Greek Demons. A week later, I returned, passed through the Northern Outpost to reach the Elves, and on the first day of the fourth week, I captured Medlan and Genoa. The next day, I defeated the Dwarf who came from the north and turned towards the Eternal City, capturing it the day after. And another day later, I freed Maximus, who was put on a ship a couple of days later and sent to capture Carthage. Attempts by the Romans and Carthaginians to land in the Peloponnese were thwarted by the mage and demon hired in Sparta. Meanwhile, the main hero returned to Genoa through Pisa and transferred the main troops to the foolish Orc, who boarded a ship and set off to capture Corsica. A couple of days later, the main hero, with a small, mixed army of joined creatures, defeated the Dwarves in their capital (almost all of this army remained under the walls), and set off back to Rome with a small force (because there were no more enemies on the continent). Arriving in North Africa, Maximus captured Carthage, the surrounding lands, and defeated the last Roman commander who had also landed there. The Orc with the main army captured Corsica (which had long been under the jurisdiction of the Roman commanders) and defeated the remnants of the Carthage mage fleet at sea. The last mage, who managed to land on the coast of Italy near the Eternal City, was finished off by the main hero with an army hired in Rome. The result: victory in one month, one week, and one day.
