The map is great! These sweet little swamps and bogs... the doom of souls... oh, what beauty! Finally, someone else has made a map about Erathia after the release of the "Supreme Lord" map! I'll say right away - I didn't like that there's no mana well - it really spoils the fun if you don't get "Spiritual Connection." Otherwise, the map is awesome! Huge thanks to the author! To make everything go smoothly, you need to take the Human Castle - there's a passage between the trees at the very beginning. Regarding Cyrus - just don't touch the Yellow Castle, as the magic worms are a disgrace; they don't attack the Human Castle. You need to immediately take the Mage Outpost and go either to the left and up, or to the right - there will be two Necropolis Castles, which will become the foundation for resisting the other three Necropolis Castles. I first went to the left and up, and then to the right, and there I was in for a surprise (perhaps because I had been running around for a long time) - Arantir (somehow doesn't quite fit with Sandro) with 470 archers, 6 dragons, 49 ghosts, 19 liches, and 119 zombies - I had a panic attack and ran away from him. I opened the entire map, and then I was targeted by Deirdre with the same army as Arantir, and I was done for. I haven't played it again yet. As for suggestions, I would like to see buildings that generate creatures from the castle on the global map (you can find a mod for this on all4heroes.net), to better convey the spirit of Erathia. And maybe some intrigues, scandals, and investigations in the form of side quests (because the game is too flat without them, IMHO). The author has huge potential! The map really grabbed me. I played on Veteran difficulty! Regarding the comments about 400 skeletons - they are easily recruited from the neutral creatures that block the roads, if you have the "Advanced Necromancy" skill. I also liked that the Necropolis Castles nearby don't allow you to build a Conversion Temple and a 5th-level Magic Tower - this adds to the challenge. But as they say: if you want to be the Supreme Lord, you have to be prepared for difficulties.
