Shades of Darkness

Where does he get that much gold and resources in the underground? 500000 gold and 125 of each resource? That's impossible.

Everything is possible, you could have just asked me?  I don't bite if you really want to know, but actually, it's all mundane — at the end of each day I put on the sack, and by the in-game date everything will become clear, I spent a very long time running around the underground to gather it all)

Maybe the screenshot was taken after using cheats to finish

No, I don't use cheats, how could you suspect me, sir, of such an evil deed?)) Because what would be the point of playing and writing everything up then?) Let me put it this way — I only used cheats after I had already beaten the map, and that was to kick Grok's ass, especially since there was a mention of a nice bonus, and I couldn't just walk past that. I understand you probably didn't intend for him to be killable... But he's too smart in my opinion, and by "too" I mean COMPLETELY CHEATING)

- I tried without cheats using the Hunters, but no matter what I did, Grok would place units against me on the first or second gate, provided they even got a turn, and it didn't matter which direction — left, right, up — Grok knows everything. Besides the stats shown in the screenshot, he also has "Urgash's Call"; without that, it might have been possible to put up a fight...

- Only a couple of times did I manage to save the Hunters, but I simply don't have enough casts to break apart the main stacks; Banishment isn't effective, but for the sake of overall progress, I couldn't help but see what we'd get...

- Whether it took long or short, with cheats I gathered an army, won with auto-battle, and what a pleasant message (not verbatim but the gist): "Raelag, you are a great leader, you defeated the enemy with such a small force, the red dragons acknowledge you, and like, we found a portal bypassing Sareta." Well, 100 red dragons is certainly a cool bonus, but in the reality of a normal playthrough it's unattainable... A pity, but at least I saw it, and I'm satisfied with that)

- I didn't fight Sareta, because as I mentioned earlier, it wouldn't make a difference)


Oh right, in my understanding, I've squeezed the maximum out of this map, I'll go find something else to get hooked on, or maybe not, we'll see how it goes...

Did I understand correctly that to better understand the story, I need to play Dark Messiah? (at the very least, and that's a separate game)

Thanks again, and if there's a chance, when the sequel comes out*if possible) I'd like to be among the first to play it))(yeah, a bit bold, but I couldn't help saying it)
