The Necromancer's Path.

I completed the map with a hero in 145 days (and received a Cyclops as a reward). At the beginning, it was difficult; I was leveling up Zoltan because Arantir suffered heavy losses without the "Raise Dead" spell (by the way, I could have given him that spell, plus the "Lord of Life" ability). After about two or three weeks, Zoltan reached level 20 and generally repelled the attacks of Giovanni and Benedict without major problems. Then, with Zoltan (level 29), I trapped Giovanni, and Arantir went upwards, where he successfully developed to level 31. Of the enemies, the most formidable turned out to be the last one – Benedict (a level 40 build with a lot of units). However, he made a mistake by chasing Arantir and catching up with him in the upper-left Castle. Naturally, I destroyed his catapult and stunned his archers, and as a result, he just stood near the walls, obediently taking my spells like "Enslave" and "Berserk." In general, the battle ended without losses (I had about 600 vampires and around 300 liches). Overall, I liked the map, but I have some questions (perhaps rhetorical). Why make the hero's path to the Barbarian Castle so complicated (what's the point?). What should be done with new artifacts like the Skull of Corruption and the Bundle of Wood? Finally, I never understood how to capture Giovanni's Castle (the game ended, and he, the rascal, remained alive). But overall, thank you to the author for their work.
