The last difficult opponent is an Orc (but I also managed to defeat him on Dark difficulty with relatively small losses). The map persistently hints that Dark is the solution and the first territory with a Necropolis. The beginning was very tough (mainly due to resources and an almost empty city). Then it became quite easy. I only had some trouble with the visiting Necropolis in the later stages – I had to avoid scaring it with the size of my army so that I could use vampirism. But, since there is no active opponent on the map, this was to be expected. I was charmed by the fire elemental at the end, which was able to burn one angel with a fireball. Sandro's Cloak is very powerful here. Overall, I really liked the map – it has an unusual plot and original design, and there are some good, interesting battles. And yes, may Ashra bestow her blessing on the author for the absence of traffic jams on the roads! The caravans here are excellent; sometimes it seems that the map designers are realizing their hidden sadistic tendencies through the placement of dwellings. It's a pity that it wasn't brought to perfection.
