scars of reality

I hope that in the future there will be comments/videos/screenshots for other maps as well.
Anyway, I recently tried playing Limes Inferior (eng). It's just insane. A map for masochists. While dealing with the blue and red factions is relatively manageable (though still challenging), I have no idea how to proceed after that. The orange and purple factions are just ridiculous. It's impossible to reach and destroy the orange Castles, so no matter what I capture, they seem to immediately take it back. And the purple garrisons (I checked in the editor) are just… something else.
It seems that the English version can only be completed by using some incredible tricks, like in your report, such as constantly generating weeks and months of creatures, and other such maneuvers. But I definitely don't have the skill or the mental fortitude for that.
Also, it seems to have significantly decreased in terms of pace and army strength. Initially, capturing the swamp proved to be extremely difficult. In the first blue Castle, I had to fight Cyphers with an army almost as strong as mine, and with full mana, and in the second, Verdish. So, no matter how well I play, I still suffer significant losses of archers and sprites. And then I also had to fight the last red Castle with a hero and a fairly large army (I was tired of these badgers digging in the Castles). As a result, capturing the swamp and the barbarians cost me almost a hundred sprites and almost as many lizards. It seems pointless to continue playing with such losses, and I'm already tired of replaying, so I'll poke around with the orange faction a bit more, see what happens with the losses, and in general, but it looks like 99.9% that I'll just give up on this map.
