Map: VAPER STORY
From: http://heroesportal.net
Map size: L

I recently finished this map. It's not very large, and it took about 4-5 hours of real time to complete (it would have been even faster if I hadn't had to replay it twice at the beginning). The map is designed for 1 player. The entire map is linear, and the enemies are stationary.

The game starts with 1 unupgraded Vampire. At the beginning, you'll have to do a lot of "micromanaging" with this Vampire to get through the battles. You start without a Castle, and you need to reach a Castle within a week (it will take 6 days without any delays). After obtaining the Castle, you'll get 19 more Vampires, and you'll have to use this group to defeat various monsters (Goblins, Snipers, and Oracles). There is no magic at the start, and you'll have to collect resources for the first level of magic bit by bit across the entire map. Later, as you gain some magic, you will kill different monsters. In the early battles with the magic book, you will have a very limited mana supply and will have to use it wisely (you may have only 1 knowledge, and you can only increase your mana by completing a quest).

All the battles are simple on one hand, but they will require you to understand when to keep a stack of 20, and when to use 4 stacks of 5 Vampires, and how to position them correctly to avoid losing any Vampires. Even when you manage to upgrade the Vampires, it won't get any easier, as there will be battles where you can't heal and will have to move around a lot.

You'll have to run around a lot on the entire map, sometimes returning to the Castle for a healing tent, and sometimes to a magic well. The most interesting battles will be against the orange player in the Castle with Titans, where you will only have 30 Vampires, and the last battle against the blue player's huge army, when you have a couple of thousand Liches and 30 Vampires.

At the start of the map, it's best to generate a ring of health and immediately upgrade logistics.
This map is perfect for spending an evening playing Heroes.
You can describe the map as "simple but enjoyable" =)
