Excellent map. But it feels like you need to accumulate a lot of troops.
1. The map takes a very long time to complete, longer than many XL maps. This is only for the most patient players.
2. There's no point in rushing: at a certain stage (after capturing the southeastern castle, East Heaven), you'll have to spend about 6 months accumulating resources in order to pay the passage guard! During this time, you won't have much else to do, except collect troops from the outposts (and you need to do this constantly, as there will never be too many troops here).
By the way, I even made a spreadsheet in Excel to calculate the resources, which I used to check when I could exchange the accumulated gold for other resources, so that there would be enough left for hiring troops and further "upgrading" the treasury.
I stopped on this map before facing Nemezida, as I can't beat him yet, and I need to do it in a similar way to how it was with Overlord Hex (Marlo Stanfield helped by recording a video of this battle). Here, you need to accumulate both resources and troops (specifically, there's a shortage of dragon stones to redeem archangels; again, part of the stones needs to be bought for gold).
Now I'm taking a break from it, trying my hand at "Wayfarer".
