I finished it. I like everything except for the balance of the mission difficulty. I started on Hero difficulty – it’s okay, the first boss is unpleasant but passable. I couldn’t handle the second mission on Hero – the development is very slow because there is a severe shortage of ore, and the heroes are weak, making it difficult to level them up without troops. I was being chased by Markel, but I don’t know if they would have caught me on the island or not; maybe he was enchanted with author’s magic. There’s practically nothing to exchange resources for. In general, I replayed it on Veteran difficulty first. Here, the third mission, and I’m puzzled – “walk in the park” is not the right description. I didn’t bother and used cheats from an old save to complete the second mission on Hero (maybe I could have done it manually with some attempts, but I didn’t want to start over, and I don’t like that water surrounding the map). So, on Hero difficulty, it’s also a walk in the park. I improved the spirits, redistributed the troops, and moved to destroy everything on all three sides (Deydru, it seems, Sandro defeated with ease). Well, Markel is weaker, but he’s a logistics expert, so he took the distant castle and continued to control the territory. In short, except for the final mission, everything is very easy. The subsequent missions are the same. The final battles are difficult; you sit there, think, and rejoice in victory, with the exception of the last mission. Elrat looked very pitiful against the other bosses (he died of illness), and he can’t be compared to the orc-earth guardian at all. The cutscenes, plot, and design are excellent. Thank you again for the voice acting. Usually, I hardly notice the cutscene because I need to read, and sometimes quickly. But here, it’s not just there; it’s quite artistic and pleasant to listen to (by the way, the voice acting in some movies is much worse). I would really like to see the popularization of your voice acting experience on the forum.
