I replayed it for the third time. I dealt with the Dwarves after three months. But here's the problem: I took the harness from one of the Dwarf outposts, the axe from behind the Blue Gate with insane protection, but where is the Rune of Flames (I didn't take it from the Dwarves)?! I would be grateful for a hint, because I'm running out of strength.

I barely found the Dwarf treasure in the eastern Dungeon, the entrance to which is through an inconspicuous portal. I went there hoping to find the rune and failed due to the protection. Against my 500 monks, there was a defense of about 700 dragons, 1300 jarls, 2000 priests, 4900 berserkers, 10700 bears, 14700 spearmen, and 16600 warriors. Although I was an expert in all aspects of Darkness and even had Sandro's Cloak, I couldn't withstand such a large number of units. Is this a bug, or another "feature" of the author, like a portal to the city and constant generation of Dwarves?

Compared to the protection of the axe and especially the rune, the final boss, King Tolgar, is just a harmless baby.

On the third attempt, I completed the game with a hero in 157 days (I got a cyclops). The author clearly overdid it with the protection of the axe and the rune. It is clear that the earlier you come to them (last time I got there in the 8th month), the fewer there will be, but still, it would be good to have 500-600 monks. Tolgar is stubborn, but quite beatable. I went against him with about 950 monks, 650 archers, 200 knights, and 35 archangels. The map is challenging and evokes very mixed feelings. On the one hand, there are interesting battles and, in general, interesting development tactics; on the other hand, there are the author's "features" like a portal to the city, the generation of Dwarves, inadequate protection of the axe and especially the rune, and minor things (the absence of a church, the remoteness and excessive protection of the mentor, etc.). Nevertheless, thank you to the author for the work.
