I played as a human hero and without allies (to speed up the game), and completed it in 3.5 months. At first, it was interesting because the AI constantly attacked, but after a while, its strength waned, and the game boiled down to simply searching for and destroying enemies. Overall, the map is enjoyable, but in my opinion, it lacks utopias, growth buildings, and, of course, mentors.
Interesting... how did you play Heroes III, Heroes IV, and even Heroes V without mentors?
