The battle took place on grassy terrain, although the map was set in a snowy area.
Thanks to leadership, cunning, and Manticores, I managed to kill the enemy mage before he could cast any spells. The lack of a mage (and spells) on the opponent's side made the game easier for me. My tactics were more defensive than offensive (only the Manticores attacked, and they didn't return). The Water Elementals cast Quicksand in front of the Swordsmen and Pikemen, the Dragons fought the Angels, the Elves shot at approaching enemies, the Unicorns protected the heroes and managed to engage almost all enemy units in combat, and after the Archmage was killed, the Manticores attacked the Archers, Squires, and the enemy General. But the Manticores didn't last long; at that moment, all the enemy infantry were still on their territory, and they easily dealt with them.
I was also lucky with the Dragon Strength spell, which helped a lot in the battle against the Angels and Swordsmen, and the Phoenix Summoning spell, which continued the work started by the Manticores.)
I think that's all.
Thank you, Pandora, for the interesting game.

I didn't waste time... I just didn't have the time or the mood.
I played the map for the first time, and I didn't notice anything strange. It's a good map, not too big) you can play similar maps several times... but I won't play Heart of Winter again; it's too big, and it takes too long to play)
