Journey

I mainly use interface mods, like the "skill wheel" and other minor changes that don't affect the gameplay. I've never touched the balance, and I tested all the maps with this verified set of mods, so they're not the problem here:)

I tried with the Dark Elves, and it's the same – the game crashes. This is a bug in the scripts somewhere. To trigger it, you need to approach these gates from the back side with any main hero of any race for the first time.

By the way, I have a suggestion regarding the heroes:
As I see it, there aren't many truly well-designed super-heroes for an interesting early-game experience. There are clearly defined leaders:
- Irina (ideal Sorceress)
- Constantine (ideal Necromancer)
- Nemesis (ideal Mage)
But the other races lack ideal heroes. What do I mean by "ideal"? A hero with a starting set of abilities and an army should be able to develop without losses or with minimal losses, defeating everything in its path, including the first two Orcish heroes.

In the case of the Demons, Biara doesn't quite reach the ideal due to the lack of the ability to restore Demonesses, as well as a constant shortage of mana. If she had the "Regeneration" and "Fundamentals of Magic => Mana Replenishment" spells from the start, Inferno would have a favorite.

In general, in my opinion, many heroes, especially those of the "good" races, lack the "Regeneration" spell at the start. Without it, the dynamics of the gameplay are significantly slowed down due to the inability to defeat large stacks at the beginning of the map with limited resources on a "hero" with a small starting army, without being left with nothing, or intentionally not killing enemies and slowing down development due to a lack of resources.

That's what I'm getting at... :) The map is very good, large, and it's more interesting to play it with a specific race, relying on the racial ability to fully reveal its potential, rather than barely reaching the mentor and completely changing the hero to be able to complete the map.

In general, I have more specific suggestions for individual heroes to slightly adapt them. If this makes sense and you haven't abandoned the map, I can write down specific wishes as a tester ;)
