Hmm. I've never seen Reveran being available for purchase by the AI. Moreover, he can't appear in the tavern at all. So, for me, this is nonsense for the blue player. Do you have any mods for hiring heroes? In principle, if there was a mod for campaign heroes, maybe the AI could buy him.

I even checked, although I have no doubts: Reveran hasn't changed since I created him, and there have been no such glitches throughout the map's history.
Reveran (actually Alaric with changes) is a story hero, which already means that he cannot appear in the tavern on his own.
Alaric is not in the list of available heroes for the blue player, which eliminates one of the two possible options for him to appear in the tavern.
There is also no function in the scripts to return Alaric to the tavern after defeat. This eliminates the second option.
So, the question is: why did the blue player buy Reveran if it's impossible on the map itself?

As the most stubborn person in the world, I quickly checked the blue player's recruitment using cheats by eliminating his heroes, and there are no Reverans there. Only generic Knights of level 1.

Next, 25k damage to the boss from cold... I respect Chaos League, but 25k damage with luck against an opponent with magic immunity... yes, Railag, as a true Warlock, will not spare even his own black dragons, but nevertheless, the damage to a unit with magic immunity should be lower than usual, even with a mastery amulet. Railag currently has no cities in the storyline to incredibly boost his elemental affinity. Where does this damage come from? This is beyond my understanding. I would believe in ten thousand, and even then with great doubts, but 25... This is a total damage of about 35k, if we take into account the amulet again.

I even ran a small test. I took Railag, level 37, gave him an amulet, maxed out Chaos and racial skills with a super ability, gave him 50 spells... and got 3500 damage to black dragons with luck and 4500 to a regular target. Of course, this was enhanced cold) It's still far from 25k, even if we multiply the damage by three, imagining an incredibly powerful elemental chain. Now I suspect some kind of mod even more.

Well, now we can go through the rest.

And first, another question: why is Railag so good with Chaos, if his specialty on the map is +initiative for his units? I have a small theory that you had Railag with some other specialization. This is quite consistent with the reappearing Reveran. And no, Chaos magic is really a must-have in the first part of the map, but then it loses its relevance due to insufficient damage.
I had no problems running the second guardian even without green boots, and with proper grinding, you can even beat him without logistics, with just one stable, but this is already a high level. I don't recommend it) The Guardian is just a Guardian. The stable and artifacts help to gain an advantage over him, although you will need extra rounds in the labyrinth from time to time.
The old man is there in the second half. He's chilling with the Elves. If you need to transfer perks, you can return to the battle with the Faceless, as it is really simple.
The Faceless didn't deceive Railag: you can get an army!

The endless cutscene is endless for a simple reason: Reveran dies exactly once and will not appear again.
Map crashes when loading are due to game optimization. From the point of view of Heroes 5, this content weighs a ton, and therefore the game often crashes when loading from the map itself.

Spoiler: the elite troops of the Empire are green humans from Red Haven. Tough guys. Knights with double move... archers with double shot and retaliate on ranged attack... they will appear at the end of the fourth mission.

I don't even know how to summarize this playthrough, because it's very strange, but I guess, thank you for playing and there will be a sequel soon.

Here's a video of the Priest, he's chilling near the castle. I tried to do 25k damage with Avatar, but I couldn't even get it with 70 spells, lucky spell, amulet, and with the elemental chain being fire, the maximum was 5k damage. It's not clear why I managed it the FIRST time. https://imgur.com/a/ZboUBfB because I only have graphic mods, sound mods, and mods to prevent the opponent from running away. Maybe it's because of them? Even if I calculate the damage on a calculator, it's 30+30 *60 spells = 2000+-, add 50% from the amulet = 3000 x 2 from luck = 6000 and multiply by 2 due to the racial ability = 12000, if the elemental chain can multiply the damage by 2 more, then we get the necessary 24000 damage as in the screenshot, but the Avatar also has resistance, like the black dragons. So, in general, I don't know, and what the hell, the campaign is already completed, and only I have such glitches, apparently.
