I dug through my archives and found a long-forgotten, but unfinished, map by the author Woxin - 生死百年第三版. Something like "A Century of Life and Death, 3rd Edition."
I've done several reviews of this author's work in this thread, and I can confidently say that all of his maps are made to the highest standard. It's a pleasure to play them! For the most part, the author offers dynamic maps with freedom of movement for both the AI and the player. At the same time, while the first week or two need to be played according to the author's plan (to gain more strength, armies, artifacts, etc.), there is a certain freedom of action afterward.
In general, see the 3 versions of this map in the attachment. 1 - normal, 2 - medium, 3 - BT (although the author says that it's not really BT, but it's also difficult).
It's rare, but there's a 1-page file for this map - a text file where the author addresses the players. You can put the text file into Google Translate if you're interested. The author writes that it was tested on Chinese forums, including one that I know, with a well-known map maker - chen5262.
I'm replaying the BT version of the map for the 3rd time, starting from day 141, which happens quite rarely with my playthroughs. At first, I chose the wrong route. Then, to get a slightly different army. The third time seems to be going well. On this map, you need to think very carefully about the logistics of movement, the route, and the army that we can assemble. Also, a certain amount is left to luck and chance - where and which enemy heroes will go, whether it will be possible to catch the enemy or whether he will bribe his way out, etc.
In general, it's a good and worthy challenge, in my opinion.
Update on the map. Day 226 on the map. I managed to hold out (!), miraculously defeat several opponents, preventing them from escaping (and we don't have handcuffs), preserve the army, and developed Kir and Gunnar. In principle, from this point on, you can move on. However, there is still no blindness and no magic of level 3 and higher, respectively, no restoration, clone, etc. Although it is possible to complete the map, I had to work with it more than with other maps by this author.
