I've already played through Dark Horizons, but since a new, updated version has been released, why not play it again (I am a bit of a masochist, after all)? Especially since the map features my favorite character, and since no one has left a review for this version yet, why not be the first? A nice addition is the Necromancer before Jorgen (the final battle of the first part feels like a real challenge). I spent a significant amount of resources on my army with him, which subsequently made the battle with Vittorio and Tallanar much more difficult; they became significantly more dangerous. On the other hand, the overpowered characters of the entire map, Frederick and Orion, are now not as dangerous as before, and I had fewer difficulties with them. As for the "last-minute saviors" Ilfina and Miv... the battles are still nerve-wracking, the only difference was in the time it took for the unicorns and zealots to die from the plague. If I were to mention anything else interesting from the playthrough... I decided to treat myself and visit Grok in Ur-Sarog. The gentleman wasn't very welcoming and sent me packing, and even unleashed his fierce army on me. By some miracle, with the help of darkness, a couple of lucky breaks, and another broken "Arcata point," I managed to defeat him and survive the last two hydras, for which I was rewarded with a hundred beautiful red dragons, which kindly carried me to the end of the map and helped me deal with Isabelle and finish the game beautifully. Overall, compared to my previous playthrough of Dark Horizons, it has become more difficult in the first half of the game and easier in the second. Another thank you to Astrall, and... I think that's all, I haven't forgotten anything

Дракон  крылами дом наш укрывает,
Страж ловчий сидит в укрытьи, не дремает...
Мегеры со смехом кинжалы свои точат,
Великий минотавр врагов убить всех хочет!

В пещерах мрачных Гидры проживают,
Наездники на ящерах - добычу загоняют
Безликие старинные за всеми наблюдают,
Загадочны - как тьма, но ответы они знают...
