Кощей Смертный
PingWing, thank you for the walkthrough! Regarding the sphinx — if you don't give it the Ring, it will slightly spoil the bonus from the full Dragon set. As for the bug with the vampire upgrade — I'll look into it, it's related to the script functions for removing/adding units. Regarding the portal to the supply line — a caravan with reinforcements spawns from there for the mages (plot justification — the elves are helping them too), and destroying it will simply deprive the "academics" of extra troops, that's all. As for the "assault" on the guardian vampires — that's a feature built into the game mechanics for that ability, I had nothing to do with it)
Glad you enjoyed it, so all those references I left weren't in vain :)

Fellow forum members, if it's not too much trouble, it would be nice to know things like:
- what difficulty level you played the map on;
- suggestions for improvement (I can't promise all of them will be implemented, but still);
- and balance, bugs, and typos, of course.
All of this will allow me to release better "upgrades" later.
P.S. And also — what maps are people playing most right now? I, for instance, don't do multiplayer, but singles and story campaigns (especially in the alternate history genre) — that's another matter. But which direction is better — epic (a la "Battle of the Celestial Gates") or RPG (a la "Hero's Path") — that's the question.
