I looked at the map, played it with a "hero" in 100 days. I liked it as a piece of art. It has a well-crafted plot that is well-connected to the actions on the map. The cutscenes are tastefully and effectively done. The map itself has a beautiful design, and the surface is drawn with care. Compared to what has been uploaded to the site lately, it's a real gem. However, as a gameplay map, it didn't impress me. The Dwarves turned out to be very weak. (The Demons are about the same strength as the Dwarves). When the message appeared that they had launched an offensive, my hero was already in their territory. They lasted exactly as long as it took to go around three castles. The rest of the time, the Necromancer wandered around and harassed the neutrals. For some reason, only one Dwarf hero (Svea) used magic; the others just attacked with their fists. The item in the menu: "stop the Dwarf raids" was not completed. The quest with the demonic altar is very difficult to organize, so I didn't complete it; the Dwarves weren't bothering me anyway. It turned out to be a typical exploration game, a simulator of a mushroom picker and geologist. I didn't like the idea with mushrooms and ore at all. First, you need a lot of mushrooms. Second, they could be made more visually appealing. Third, the number of mushrooms collected should be displayed in the quest menu (just like with ore), and not just as a pop-up message when you touch them. The reward for completing this quest seems very questionable to me. I don't understand why the hero's level is limited, as there isn't much more experience to be gained on the map anyway. Even if you somehow manage to get the hero to level 33, how will that significantly change the scenario? The final is, in my opinion, too "difficult." It turned out to be noticeably harder than the overall structure of the map. In this regard, I would like to suggest moving the mentor in the basement closer to the final teleport and adding the "Hill Fort" there as well. (It took me almost a week of game time to change the main character's skills and upgrade the army.)
A big thank you to the author for the interesting work.
