Magnificent
Auto-translated
Completed this scenario as the Hero.
Irbet attacked; I won the battle, but the next day she emerged from somewhere again and attacked with an army incredible for the fourth week: 16 devils, 24 cave demons, 32 hydras... I played it safe, chose not to kill her, and instead forced her to pursue Chaos (the main hero). I took troops from Ur-Karg, surrendered it, but took Ur-Hinokh and Ur-Tot. Irbet almost immediately took Ur-Hinokh back, leaving me with only one city again.
From then on, the game consisted of taking cities, buying out growth, and retaking cities, as enemy heroes quickly reclaimed them. The Guild cannot be built above level 3 anywhere, and there is no way to learn powerful spells, so I focused on building up my army. All enemies had become low or very low threat. I easily killed the orange ones without losses; among the purple ones, I intentionally left Irbet alive, while Deleb got stuck on a caravan near the League city
On day 64, Chaos became the strongest according to the tavern.
At one point, both Irbet and the orange Grol fled into the dungeon; same for Deleb, by the way, she started moving. I went into the dungeon, retook the League city, and also captured Ur-Gienna. I explored the map and found Ashi's Tear on day 103. At the mentor, Chaos replaced Light and Defense with machines (or vice versa), while keeping Darkness and Logistics. I couldn't find the necessary Darkness spells, so I had to simply pass turns until the Dragon Utopia refreshed. Luckily, from the first refresh I learned Subjugation, and from the second, Vampirism. With this, I easily defeated Irbet and Sigrif with a single squad without losses. I took Call of Urgash from the mentor. Then I headed toward Ur-Kurgan, picking up 89 cave demons along the way. I defeated Grol and Dominion with one squad of spawns without losses. Scenario completed in 193 days.
Found a bug: Chaos's specialization does not work if he is defending in the castle. It seems similar to Kan's problem in the "Uninvited Guests" scenario.
As I understand from the comments, the version I played differs in balance from the one most people played. In the situation with Irbet (see walkthrough), I actually thought it was a bug at first. But I quickly figured out how to act and the completion became easy. The scenario is well-made, with interesting scripts and cutscenes. And it's always pleasant to amass a huge army of demons
Thank you very much for the map!
Walkthrough
On day 3, I captured Ur-Karg (no losses), and on day 9, Ur-Hinokh, defeating Erasial (losses: 44 imps, 12 demons). On day 12, I repelled Nibros in the castle, and on day 14, I defeated Jezebeth in the field (total losses: 6 pitfalls, 41 demons). For now, I had to surrender Ur-Hinokh to Marbas. In the third week, a purple Deleb emerged from the dungeon but immediately ran back. After receiving troops from Ur-Karg, I killed Marbas; losses were 12 demons. I headed into the dungeon and on day 23 took the League city and killed Letos (losses: 6 demons).Irbet attacked; I won the battle, but the next day she emerged from somewhere again and attacked with an army incredible for the fourth week: 16 devils, 24 cave demons, 32 hydras...
