After almost half a year, I finally got around to replaying the entire Campaign and watching the ending. Just as I was shocked by the first Campaign the first time (especially by the Outlands), I was surprised during this second playthrough by how much new and interesting content Master managed to add to the first Campaign in just 2 years of development. I really enjoyed it.

It was nice to see that the pre-final mission with the siege was reworked, and they even added a special Dungeon, which, as far as I remember, wasn't there originally. The difficulty of the mission also increased significantly; I couldn't even complete it on Recruit difficulty, constantly trying new strategies, but I was repeatedly and increasingly humiliated. After shamefully losing to the last three demon bosses, I eventually gave up and beat them with cheats after a hundred attempts; I guess I'm getting old and losing my skills. Surprisingly, I managed to defeat Sigryph on the first try because he refused to use gates and cast spells.

But I lost the final battle so badly that I felt terrible. I was even a little upset that Sigryph was turned into soup and fed to Urgash (but not surprised, considering the hypnosis or fanaticism similar to Alarik's). In the end, it was just a cheap 1 vs. 2 brawl. (Moreover, the scripts broke, and chests with experience and gold didn't appear for anyone except Ash, so I had to use cheats.)

Well, Master's Campaign, Grigory's Campaign, and Khottabych's scenarios are still the best things I've found on this forum. And even though it's a bit rough around the edges, I'm glad that another story has found its ending. (I'm really upset about the fourth mission with Sandro's resurrection. It seems that something "amazing" was planned, but due to some problem, Master lost all the assets and didn't want to create the fourth or fifth missions from scratch, simply adding a filler in the form of a 1 vs. 2 fight. Sandro is my favorite character overall from everything I've ever studied. He's a kind of underdog who didn't bow down to the local gods; I'm even surprised why he eventually decided to subjugate all the peoples, because in my opinion, he would have simply let everyone live freely and then disappeared into oblivion).
