In the first week, I captured an outpost, but it was quite challenging, and in the end, the best result was losing only 50 units. (The Colossi stubbornly held their ground.)
Then, I stormed the second Castle, looting a treasure chamber along the way and gaining control of it. After that, I went around clearing out everything.
Humans turned out to be a real pain. Especially the engineer who constantly repairs his ballista.
This raises the question: is it normal for them all to run around with a static army, and "resurrect" with approximately the same composition? Not to mention that they revive from the dead at different times. Fortunately, mages resurrect with their own army, not the one they died with.
I decided to skip the partisan quest, as well as the Sphinx and scroll quests; it seemed like a waste of time. The final battle took place in a castle with a Fida’i. With a bit of luck, I gained control of the archers and finished him off with his own archers.
Overall, the scenario is good, 9/10.
