Decided to play "Two Sisters" again. It's a good New Year's map, with lots of snow, and dwarves running around in it Hero difficulty.
WalkthroughI chose Mariella as the main hero. There are few resources (no sawmill or mine), so I took gold from the chests. On day 13, I took Utopia and learned Resurrection (loss of 1 swordsman), and on day 19, I won the battle for the Tomb of Shadows (loss of 4 swordsmen). Mariella's skills: Logistics, Leadership, Light, Darkness, Education. On day 24, I defeated Vlad without losses (Evasion and Regeneration on the angels, then I killed everyone with archers). Now I have the Lion's Set, so I removed Leadership from the Mentor and took Spell Power. On day 27, I broke through the garrison without losses, and the war with the dwarves began. Mariella easily captured three dwarven cities and hired priests, thanes, and dragons there. I quickly lost these cities, as Rolf appeared with a high threat level, and I had to retreat. I trained Natalia and hid her in the Sanctuary. Mariella stayed in the Castle, and on day 54, Rolf attacked the city. He had 74 Lava Golems and 24 Arcata Dragons, 78 Thanes, and 56 Thanelords. I easily won the battle using Light and Darkness, without losses. Natalia returned to the city, and Mariella went back to enemy territory, where she easily and without losses defeated all the dwarves. Even Hangwul hid from her in the Castle (and was quickly defeated). Some dwarves came to the starting location, but quickly left, as they were afraid of Natalia. I trained Myv, and she traveled around the map, buying priests, thanes, and dragons in the captured cities. Mariella destroyed all active heroes and captured all the cities (except the capital, which is defended by King Tolgar). After that, she took the dwarven troops from Myv and defeated Tolgar without losses. The scenario was completed in 104 days.

Either I've gotten much better at playing this year, or it's just more luck, but this time the walkthrough was easy and enjoyable. I spent the most time thinking about how to deal with the neutral creatures at the beginning of the game (Utopia and undead near the portal), but I defeated all the enemy heroes on the first try, without problems and without losses. It's a good scenario in terms of both design and gameplay; I have positive impressions.
Thank you very much for the map!
