I'm playing on Veteran difficulty, and the author has done a great job; it's impressive, but I'm getting a little tired of it. I've been playing for about 20 days now, for 20-30 minutes each time, but still. It's been 6 months in the game, and I'm afraid I've gotten too into it. I reached the Demon and received a message that an Elf was summoned to help. I defeated the Knight with significant losses. I wanted to know if the Demon's army grows over time or not? He just beat me so badly; I don't remember how many Nightmares he had, maybe 150-200, but they wiped out my 300 Vampires in one go. Basically, even with 2 rings for initiative, I couldn't even get a single turn.
I was planning to go to the Castle for reinforcements; there's a 2-month growth accumulated there, and I think I can manage to win. But after the Demon, is there still a lot more gameplay? Because despite how cool the map is, I'm already getting tired of the game.
P.S. - I've been stuck on the puzzle for the second hour now. I just want to finish the map because of it. Even ChatGPT and DeepSeek have given up.
Okay, we extracted the letters Z, O, P, and V from the cipher. If Z, O, and P have numerical values, then V doesn't have such a value. I tried all the numbers from 0 to 10 instead of V. Nothing worked.
The second option is that if Z is Earth, and O is Fire, then P is something unclear. It could be Air or Water. It's nonsense. I tried both ways. I tried the cipher 4-7-9-8, and I tried the cipher 7, 9, 8, 4. Nothing worked. After that, I looked at the text document with the hint. It's obvious anyway, and it doesn't help in solving the puzzle at all. I'm just stumped.
