The map, like your others, is enjoyable to play, but it is indeed quite easy. I don't understand scripts, but perhaps the aggression of the computer players is set too high, and they desperately try to reach Howard or at least capture a castle, without properly assessing their strength. As a result, all the best artifacts, including the Tome of Dark Magic (which, for some reason, didn't contain Berserk, but did have Dominate), were obtained by enemy heroes. And I'm also curious, who was that Latvian Necromancer in the south? Judging by the battle, I thought he was wearing dwarven armor, but it didn't drop, and it also reduced his speed – how can that compare to Storm Armor (my ghosts moved two squares, and the Avatar moved three)? Was he scripted to be that aggressive?
