Battle for Freedom

#2
Auto-translated
It's a decent linear scenario; you can tell the author is improving.
As for the drawbacks, I would mention the following:
1) The Orc location needs to be refined because it looks a bit empty visually. You could add some forest (at the top and left, for example), and remove some (south of the city, where part of the buildings are not visible). Also, the Orc location lacks neutral creatures near the mines, even simple ones, just for atmosphere.
2) The last city.
a) It's a bit boring in terms of the environment.
b) It can be taken before the last city due to a gap near the garrison at 111.57-58.
c) I had a nearly comical situation where a hero from the city came to attack me. I have Logistics, I take the city, and the enemy hero gets destroyed by his own fortifications.
3) I encountered a bug: initially, the portal from the Necropolis to Iris's army didn't work. After moving the hero to the correct location using cheats and going through the portal from the Human side, the portal started working normally. It's not certain that anyone else will encounter this, but it's worth mentioning.
"Not a bug, but a feature":
The map feels like two scenarios on one map: first, you play as the Orcs, then as the Humans, because towards the end, the Humans start to run out of Orcish troops.
