Red crystal

Good day. I started a lighter version with a hero – the result was disappointing... I lowered this one to veteran level – the random generator gave me Krag. I decided to try, but it seems it's not meant to be either... 2 months have passed, I cleared the starting location, but I can't seem to progress further... By the end of the week, an enemy appears, and with each time, it gets tougher. The previous Necromancer wiped out 500+ goblins, and the Horde's Fury is already in effect. I can only defeat them in the castle by destroying the catapult, but there's less and less meat... Ugh... a dishonorable end awaits the mighty Krag... I'll try for a bit longer, but it seems that Darkness + Summoning will decide the outcome, with a Necromancer, of course. I'll try Fire Warriors, Berserkers, etc. But I'm sorry for Krag... It seems that brute orcish strength is not meant to be here.

Thanks for the map. I just forgot that your maps are better suited for Warriors and Darkness. The idea with the random portal was interesting. Given the frequent enemy attacks, it's almost the only option. But only after the portal to the city... Or by mentoring the guards... Then it definitely won't be an Orc.
