Dunkler HorizontV02 (standard version)
Walkthrough in parts. Part 3. (days 311 – 347)
To be continued…
I started with Valeska as the main hero, although I'm playing with a more stable and reliable build using Angels from the canned goods, but without rushing and mainly through the main hero, while the others are just there to support...
It seems like the Necromancer is stuck:
In the second month, a Tant (with a couple of stacks of several dozen skeletons and a couple of ghosts) emerged from a one-way portal near the Crystal Dragons, and he's been standing there ever since.
Tamika also arrived near the green tent at the end of the second month, with 1 unit in the left area, and she's been there for all 5 months; it seems the Necromancers haven't taken the tent yet.
There haven't been any other Necromancers for 5 months...
As for the Legion of Rust near the Book of Earth and the starting spawn generation (for those who do that): with Inferno, you can get a Force Field in the GM, after which you can transform all the archers into Snipers, and the dragons will be easily defeated by the Snipers with the ranged attack skill, without any problems.
In 4 months, without any Necromancer attacks, the enemies on the surface are easily defeated.
At the very end of the 4th month, the Book of Earth was taken.
Now, with the Ring of the Mage, the Sniper Bow, 1k Snipers, and the ranged attack skill, all that's left is to complete the quests for stats, and then I can go and defeat the sluggish Necromancer.
By the way, I don't understand if this is intentional or a bug: between the two pink cities, the passage is blocked; there's a guard and a road, but the obstacles are arranged in such a way that it's impossible to pass.
I still don't understand how the Necromancer attacks are implemented in this map (whether any events, timers, etc. affect the arrival of the Necromancers). Sometimes the Necromancers appear in the 3rd month from one-way portals with 2-4 heroes and all their legions (and then they either stay in the captured cities or fiercely harass everything around), and sometimes they just stay at the spawn and don't come out, or they just take the tent and a couple of random heroes come as guests without the main force. It's not clear what it depends on....
So, I'm waiting for the end to see how long it takes and how the main villain will be defeated
