"The Sacred Tree" is an interesting map with well-developed landscapes, unusual scripts, and new units, but it suffers from an unbalanced pace and feels drawn out in places. The plot seemed like a typical, not very original fan fiction based on Ashan, with a large number of long cutscenes and lore, so at some point, I started skipping the entire plot. The difficulty of the map seemed too easy; I would have liked it to be a little more challenging. The first half of the game is not difficult, but it is meditative; however, the part with the Dungeon seemed too boring and monotonous to me. I liked the scripts and quests, but I didn't like the cryptography puzzle at all. If the author writes to me in a private message how to solve it, I would be grateful. The landscape is excellent! I really liked the changes in elevation and the abundance of objects. Although it's a pity that the high level of detail in the landscape slows down the computer smile05. New units are good, but I didn't quite understand their purpose. Manticores are the same as in the original, only slightly stronger, and the necro-spiders only helped me in the early stages. Bone dragons are secret units that join your army after you defeat them; I have no questions about them. Light and darkness elementals are like furies, but you can't vampirize from them, which creates some difficulties in battles, which is not bad.
In summary, the map is good, but a bit drawn out, the plot is for those who like Ashan, and the quest development is excellent - it is perfect for beginners. My rating is 7.5/10
Sir Syddan, thank you for the Walkthrough!

Regarding the difficulty, I can say that changes to the first act of the map are definitely planned. No major changes are planned for the second act; as I wrote above, this is the exploration part of the map, perhaps something will be done with the orange elves. It would be interesting to know how you did with the final bosses from the third stage of the map. Regarding the new units, the spiders were intended to be a powerful stack, especially for the second half of the map; in the first half of the map, they may not have much of an impact if you don't upgrade their growth. I'm glad you managed to unlock the ancient dragons through a secret quest
