The Hero's Path

Big thanks to the author for creating such an interesting, balanced, and well-developed map. In fact, "well-developed" is an understatement! I was very impressed by the mathematical quest; I spent about 4 hours trying to solve it. I filled half of a 12-page notebook. And all because the author eliminated the easiest solutions; just look at the stone at 46:30. As a result, I couldn't solve the puzzle properly, getting 29 out of 50. I spent a long time looking for the 5th plant, the transparent one with levitating leaves. Chemistry is overpowered! For me, the Walkthrough can be divided into two parts: before and after vampirism. Dark Magic solves everything, plus runes, light, and summoning reinforcements. I'm curious, is it possible to complete this map in another way? That is, without using Dark Magic. Chaos doesn't have enough damage, and runes don't help much either. Summoning is a very good thing, but due to the variety of units, it's not possible to create an overpowered army. So, it's also debatable. A pure warrior is basically suicide. Therefore, I don't know how to complete this map in another way. Maybe the author can suggest an idea, i.e., how else can the map be completed without Dark Magic? During the Walkthrough, I would like to see: 1) A detailed description of the achievements and methods for obtaining them, in the guides section, or somewhere else. 2) Higher stakes in the races, because 1000 is not serious. 3) During the mock battle with the black dragon, there is a bug: it starts attacking while the dialogue is still in progress, although it should start fighting after the conversation ends. Because of this, I didn't have time to move away, and it killed 3 units in my army, including Agron (the monk). 4) I think it's pointless to write a 4th point, but I'll still do it: I would really like to see more maps like this, or a modification of this map, with a larger territory, more quests, etc. Once again, I express my great gratitude to the author - Jack_of_shadows. The map is 10/10; I haven't played anything better yet! Regarding the screenshots: I couldn't take them (it minimizes to the desktop, and I can't take a screenshot in the game; I don't know how to take a screenshot of the screen, so I took pictures of the results with my phone and tried to upload them, but it says "file too large." In short: hero + extreme difficulty, 116 days (807 turns). Hero level 33, attack 28, defense 29, cold 19, knowledge 15. Skills: attack, defense, magic, light, dark, counterattack. Battles: 255 (242 - 95% without losses). Army: I played with Arabs + griffins + knight Isabelle + Dance of Death (took them at the end). Mostly, I used Dark Magic on the griffins. Bounty hunts: 1. Races: 13/37, 35% +2000. Achievements: 5. Quests: 30 (1 failed, with the monk). Finances: main income from the bank (saving).
