Nomination: "Best Single Player Scenario of 2019-2020" Title: Blue Crystal Map Description: When the red crystal regained its owner and, at the same time, a submissive slave, the other magical crystals gradually began to awaken. Blinded by the desire to acquire them all for himself, the hero set out in search of the blue crystal (or, as it was once called by the ancients, the crystal of elements). Comment: A cool, hardcore map in the best traditions of Master. As usual, well-balanced "on the verge of being unfair" and magnificent final battles that will require you to think carefully. Nomination: "Best Single Player Scenario of 2019-2020" Title: The Necromancer's Path Map Description: The Duchy of Bull has undergone many changes over the past two centuries. An orc tribe now lives here, coexisting with the Imperials. Officials-pyromancers rule the region with the blessing of the emperor. This delicious, prosperous piece of great civilization opens the way for the necromancers of Erathia into the Holy Unicorn Empire. Arantir arrived here not just like that. By the will of Ashan, the Sanctuary of Dragon Scrolls is located on the highest mountain in the Duchy. Comment: A quality scenario featuring the old good Arantir, with an interesting plot and a well-developed balance (especially in version 1.1 :p) Nomination: "Best Single Player Scenario of 2019-2020" Title: Cursed Map Description: Studying magic is a dangerous and unpredictable undertaking. In it, power and might border on madness and death. And so Morgan, in his attempts to comprehend the lost magic of spirits, paid dearly for his curiosity. Now he bears a heavy deadly curse that threatens to drag his soul into a world of oblivion and fear. Striving to save his life, he sets out in search of his longtime friend and at the same time a brilliant researcher who can find a way out of this difficult situation.
