Red crystal

Good day. I started a simplified version on a hero – the result is disappointing... I reduced this one to a veteran – 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 it's not very easy to progress further... By the end of the week, an enemy appears, and with each time it gets tougher. The previous Necromancer destroyed 500+ goblins, and the Horde's Fury is already in full effect. I can only defeat them in the castle by destroying the catapult, but there is less and less meat... Ugh... a inglorious end awaits the valiant Krag... I'll try for a bit longer, but it seems that Darkness + Summoning will decide the outcome, and a Necromancer, respectively. I'll try Fire Warriors, Berserkers, and so on. But I'm sorry for Krag... It seems that brute orcish strength is not meant to be here.

Thank you 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 mentoring the guards... Then it definitely won't be an Orc.

I reached the crystal, even defeated the "lesser guardian." It's impossible to move the main guardian at all, not to mention the army, but the constant subjugations deprive me of both archers and initiative. I found the "lumberjacks" quite quickly with the help of a supporting hero. I played as Elves on "Warrior." But it still felt too difficult, the guests visited too often. In any case, I really liked the map, thank you very much to the author, it was interesting!

In short, it's like Sklifosovsky's map. It's time to make a simplified version of the map. I couldn't pass it on Hero difficulty. I've been struggling for a week. Even Spaten doesn't help.
