After playing this map, I can say that it incorporates the best elements from the three previous maps: it features territorial skirmishes like in "The Price of Loyalty," constant enemy pressure like in "Path of the Necromancer," and the desired pace from "Shades of Darkness," but that's not all! The implementation of the Hell Forge is excellent; the unit upgrades are significantly different from each other, giving you a wide range of strategic choices. The old faction hasn't been neglected either: the quest with Nosferatu is great, especially its final part, and the other minor quests nicely complement the gameplay.
The scenario won't let you get bored, not only with its plot (which is quite extensive), but also with its difficulty, as some battles will make you sweat even more than in "Shades of Darkness."
A good scenario, thank you Astrall for another magnificent map! (I can't believe I finished it).
