Legacy of Shantiri

Hello!
Great map, I haven't sweated this much in a long time, especially in the second month, when the Orcs started showing up with a 5-week-old army of 3 each week. So many nerves were frayed, and so many heroes were cut down in all the remote corners of this map, but... in the end, I managed.

I tried to play it about 6 times, 4 times on the old version, didn't succeed, 2 times on the new version, and it didn't work out. A veteran player completed it in 11 months XD

In the first month, I holed up, gathered an army, thinking the Orcs would slowly dwindle. I killed the weak ones, and hid from the strong ones behind a wall. It's strange that in the Remix, they stormed the city, but they never tried it on me. In the first month, I bought the Unicorn Bow in the shop, and my entire tactic was based on it: I just shot from a distance, and if anyone got close, I used Berserk. I think you can't do anything on this map without Dark Magic. Chaos absolutely won't help with such a large number of mobs; the summoning is too convoluted, and the bees don't work on Black Dragons).

P.S. There was a bug with the Orc heroes: there were 4 of them, 1-2 in the early stages, when the Groover was in the city. They would run away and get stuck on a skeleton, from which you can get a wand on the first day. I don't know why.

I ran around and fought with the Orcs for 5-6 months, and eventually I defeated them, but the Elves from the basement never started to come up, which is strange. It seems that for other players, they did come up.

In general, there were two difficult battles during the whole game: the first with the Elf, who had a set of Dragons. Because of my slowness, I reached him when there were almost 300 Dragons there, with immunity to magic :smile07:. After 4 attempts, I defended the city through a wall of swords; there's a dynamic view in three screenshots. It was quite interesting. I killed Lethos on the first try, but the poison was a bit of a problem, then I killed him during the city siege, simply placing Golems and Gargoyles; his formidable army stood behind the wall, defended itself, and killed each other in Berserk. And he also used Frost Nova on the Obsidian Golems :D

I killed Harold easily; he needs to have artifacts on his monsters, otherwise, my artifacts for initiative + a ring of speed = even the Golems had 18 initiative.

The second difficult battle was with the Bishop's Squire, and that was only because the battle was in the field, and the Paladins and Angels managed to attack before I could cast my spells.

The final battle was easy; again, Dark Magic solved everything without a doubt. If there hadn't been Dark Magic, I would have still killed Glen, but I definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat the Bishop; he has too many insane stats, and I wouldn't have been able to develop a Mage into a Warrior anyway.
And here are the stats with which I finished, in the last screenshot. I liked it; I'm looking forward to the next map from the author. GL! :smile12:

P.P.S. In general, I would try this scenario with Humans or Dwarves, just to have a good fight against the Orcs:D
