The Hero's Path

I had a similar problem during my first playthrough))) I had to start over, and I couldn't escape. But it's okay; the playthrough was enjoyable. Overall, I liked the map because of its RPG mode without too many bots; you can play at your own pace. I've never understood players in turn-based strategy games who say, "I finished the map in a week or a month," etc. There's no accounting for taste, but what's the point of playing for speed? You won't be able to explore the entire map and understand the author's idea, in my opinion...
And another thing - this map has a serious side effect. After such an intense scenario, other maps lose their appeal. I've downloaded so many different ones, but none of them are quite the same.
