I completed this scenario on Hero difficulty. I'll start with a description of the Walkthrough.
WalkthroughI started normally, repelled the first attack by Swei, learned Blind and Enchant in the guild, and used these spells to explore the map. In the Dungeon, I found a scroll with Vampirism and decided that I would only raise Death Knights from Necromancy. It's a good idea, but while I was running around the map and fighting neutrals, Swei gathered a large army. She didn't attack the Castle, but in the field, there would have been significant losses against her. As a result, I hid my entire army, except for the Liches and Death Knights, in the sawmill and forced her to attack the city. The losses were two Liches, and she fled. Sandro then only took the Death Knights; the rest of the army remained to guard the city. I captured two Dwarf cities and defeated the demons, and then I didn't quite understand what I needed to do. While I was figuring it out, a lot of time passed again (it turned out that there was a third Dwarf city). Neutral units had already become enormous; I mostly defeated everyone using Darkness, but I remember a battle against 4798 dragons (ghostly + astral) using Summoning (I never found Sandro's cloak). There was also a similar battle against 3k Dwarf dragons. I didn't complete any of the optional quests. When I reached Hodor, I realized that I didn't have enough of an army, so I gathered and converted troops from all the cities, and only then did I win (the battle was still interesting), on day 261. From some point on, I stopped paying attention to the time, but who cares?

The scenario is excellent; I liked the design, and there are many cutscenes. I didn't understand much of the plot because I haven't played Heroes 6 and 7, but even so, it was interesting. I really liked the idea with the books at the end of the map.
Thank you very much for the map!
