3) If you set the Vampire count to 500 (as it was in the alpha version), he won't be able to defeat them at all, or he'll only defeat them towards the end of the game. The spell can be reduced. More precisely, I'll block the source from which most of the spell power comes. Knowledge will also decrease somewhat.
6) The cartographer is very useful... I personally found it helpful. There are two reasons: to keep an eye on the Orc town, because if Blue passes through the pass unnoticed, he can easily outsmart the player with his logistics. The second is to keep an eye on Giovanni when he is blocked. Because if the player misses a working portal again, Giovanni will emerge from the portal under the shroud of war. And that could cost you the game. As for the added mountains... the problem is that there isn't a suitable size for this map... so it features empty spaces filled with random things.
8) I assure you: Bertrand is perfectly balanced. And if you buy the Staff of Sar-Iss, it will be even easier. With just one subordinate stack, you can defeat his entire army that kills with a single blow. In the beta version, he had fewer stacks (see the replay by nikoivanovo), and, as Remix proved, he wasn't just not a boss, but even a simpler opponent than Giovanni. And besides, if Bertrand gives his strongest units, what's the problem? Without archers, champions, and seraphs, he is weak, although the tactics remain the same as against a full army. Against him, 14 ghosts with Battle Discipline will suffice.
10) What's the point of selling +7 to spell power? There isn't a better helmet on the map, and you can get the Skull at the beginning.
3) Well, it doesn't have to be 500. Something in the middle would be better.
8) The Staff... Exactly! I completely forgot about it! I just got upset when I couldn't subordinate his units :mad:.
What's the problem? The problem is that the Orc Castle is under Blue's control, and I wrote that the Human player has two castles captured, and after capturing the town, Bertrand gave those 3 stacks to someone. I only have the Human castle.
6) During the stream, you yourself said that most of the map is completely unnecessary and tried to "cover it up," and the cartographer shows these places. I meant the mountains that are visible. For example, near the Skull.
10) I just noticed. I would never sell the Skull.
11) The officials have an inhuman appearance... And it doesn't look like masks. In the real Empire, they would have been burned at the stake long ago.
