Hello, ColdWarrior.
I felt a wave of nostalgia and decided to visit the forum. I see that the topic has been updated with an unexpected and recent mention of me. I am very grateful, although, of course, my contribution is minimal.
The last time I played through a map, I reached the second final boss, but I couldn't defeat him. I was playing on a version before the last few updates. As far as I remember, that version still had the feature where you could simultaneously complete the questlines for the fire worshippers and the heretics and mages. And back then, the map was engaging because of its quests and scale. I would be happy to learn how things are now by watching a playthrough of the final version when I have some free time.
Sincerely, Silos Zanj.
