Thanks for the walkthrough and feedback!
The mage's riddle is a way to bring something new to the map - and it offers the player a different kind of challenge, distinct from the core game mechanics. Glad you liked the scenario too, and of course that the scripts ran smoothly🙂

The demon's army, just like the Knight's and the Shantiri priest's, doesn't grow over time for lore reasons. In the second act, you need to gather components for the ritual; if the demon still seems too strong for now, you can focus on finding the other parts. If you leave Kmolaga for the end, he should be taken down easily by then. As for the timing - it always varies from player to player, but overall, if you're on month 6 in the second act, that sounds perfectly normal.
And what about the riddle? Can you give at least some decent hint in a private message, rather than a file that doesn't help at all. I tried the 2 most obvious options and they didn't work. I have no idea what else could have been encoded there.
