Heroes of Ashan: Antares

The Unicorn Bow and the Book of Darkness are great. After that, you can easily proceed without worrying about significant losses.

I played this map. The development and plot are excellent. :smile20:
The balance is good. I only didn't like the hidden objects. I had to go back a second time because of them.

My ally was killed on the very first turn. Is that supposed to happen?
After exploring my lands, I sailed up the river. There, I captured Greystone and started saving up 50,000 for "roadworks." Along the way, I freed Rutger. After accumulating 726 archers, 208 priests, 20 angels, and 185 halberdiers, as well as 195 elven rangers who joined, I headed to the sandy island with the prison. To my surprise, my first attempt to take the huge infernal garrison in the Dungeon was successful, thanks to the wall of swords. I even have a recording of the battle, but I don't see the point in posting it.
Orlando sat in his lair and didn't come out until the end. I couldn't defeat him the first time, but after gathering all my troops (1K archers, 500 griffins, 300 priests, 150 knights, 60 angels), I flew in and defeated him.
Rutger dealt with Giovanni.
I didn't find Ash's Tear and, as a result, didn't even have enough money to buy knights, let alone train them.

I'm grateful to the author for the map. I wish you success in this field in the future.
