kolotok, good!
Does Nila start without the Logistics skill on this map? I only noticed with Sylvia that she was edited by the author and starts with summoning a boat.
Orrin also discarded the Cloak of Displacement (one of the most curious moments of the map; I never figured out why he did it), or did he manage to leave the Red player without castles for 7 days?
Based on what Frifix wrote under my comment on HP, I conclude that:
a) the author intended to win by collecting liches. After completing the map, I realized how they could have been gathered faster than by catching the Monster of the Month. We give as many of our castles as possible to the computer – it buys troops – we farm liches on it;
b) the author does not realize that the Dimension Door is not needed to complete the map. Accordingly, a number of quests in the area of the Scroll of Dimension Door and beyond are superfluous.

In terms of managing the turn through a large number of heroes, I only used more heroes per game day in Where the Beauty. There, up to 30 heroes could be used per day.
Not only Nila, but other heroes have also been slightly rewritten with their starting skills. Nila starts with Wisdom and Defense, and the Logistics skill is reduced.
Orrin somehow captured the Stronghold castles; I missed that moment, and I couldn't leave Orrin without castles. I had to outsmart him a little (reduce the number of Zealots) and then finish him off.
Regarding farming liches, yes, I didn't think of the strategy of giving castles to the computer and farming liches on that. But it's still tedious because the increase in castles is not that great, and we will have no more than 100 liches per castle (even considering that we have the Legion Statue and the ability to give castles with a higher increase). That is, we will have to collect them for a long time and tediously.
Perhaps the author intentionally placed quests near the Dimension Door spell to mislead players, as I have serious doubts about the possibility of completing them.
