Walkthroughs for custom maps.

What if I transfer most of the army to the "Loshka" in the Inferno zone, while Tazor remains on the main stronghold with a small force?

Yes, I've already rolled back to the middle of the 5th month and transferred the entire barbarian army to "Loshka" so he can hold the orange stronghold. I'll see how Lucifer reacts to this. Will he attack him as he did last time, or will he do it later, or maybe even earlier? I can't give him the main Tazor army yet, because Manticores appears at the end of the 5th month, and Tazor won't be able to defend himself properly against him with a weak army. If necessary, I'll try to exchange armies between Tazor and "Loshka" after the Manticores, using some chain of events. I've attached a save file below, right after I transferred the army to "Loshka". If you're interested, you can have a laugh at my tiny armies. *:D

Ideally, it would be good to have another, more or less developed hero with an army at the starting stronghold, in addition to Tazor. Because when several enemies emerge from different sides at once, Tazor alone can't keep up with them all, and they can spread out. While Tazor is dealing with one, someone else pops out of the gate or portal and runs in another direction, usually towards the former green or red castles. But there's not much left to develop other heroes.

In general, if the issue with enemies emerging from different sides gets to me completely, what can you do? I'll start opening the entire map with cheats at the beginning of each day and see what the green and brown factions are planning. Because I no longer have the moral strength to control them.

As for the campaign against the purple faction in the 6th month, I think that in my case, it would be akin to suicide. I already have an army with a significant shortage of troops, which has been accumulating since the beginning, and even if I can break through the first garrison, I'll lose almost my entire army in the process. Against the purple faction, which in the English version develops at a crazy pace, Tazor will have no chance.*

Here, for example, compare the speed of capturing cities by the purple faction in the Polish version (taken from Dandy's walkthrough saves), and in the English version, which I'm currently trying to play (pictures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).*
In the Polish version, he captures the third castle on 3.4.4, on 6.4.6 he still has only 3 castles, he captures the fourth on 6.4.7, and the last one only on 7.2.2.*
In the English version, the third castle is captured on 1.3.6, and by 3.2.1, the purple faction has already captured all the castles! That's quite a difference.*

Or here, the capture of resources by the orange faction (pictures 6, 7, 8). In the Polish version, on 3.1.5, he has only just opened the passage to the first resource zone. In the English version, this happens on 1.4.4, on 2.3.3 all the resources are already captured, and by the end of the 3rd month, 4 castles are captured, and the first two are already fully built. So, in the English version, it is extremely desirable to cut off the orange faction's resources as early as possible.*

But overall, the map is difficult, but it's not as difficult as those Chinese maps or "one-day maps" with puzzle-like battles. The difficulty here lies in the fact that you have to maintain the highest possible pace and fight battles with minimal losses. Therefore, for players with a lot of speedrunning experience, completing it on any difficulty should not cause any particular problems.
