Outcast's Path

Let's go through it step by step.
1.

The puzzles of Gurk weren't very difficult, were they?

The third one is a bit challenging, but since there's a save/load option, I doubt anyone will bother; there are only three of them (compared to the Oracle, which has about 8).
2. As I already said, it's very difficult without Magic Tactics. Since I've played the map before, I developed Magic Tactics and immediately ran to the Dragon Utopia – there's probably always vampirism there (at least I was lucky).
3. Thank you for the comprehensive answers to my questions – everything worked out, except for the Grail – I don't know how to insert an image into a message...
4. Currently, I can attack the Orcs, but there are still a few uncompleted quests that I would like to complete – save the Mead Hall (I don't know how yet... :smile50:), catch the elusive Joe (he got caught once and escaped...), the Grail, and maybe the Orcs will offer something else (they don't have much reputation – 44).
5. I made a save, received the quest to defeat the Orcs, and the Castle became mine – but I didn't get the Stone of Light. I rushed to the Elves – but they still wouldn't let me into the Castle:smile51:. I defeated the Orcs – and they gave me the Stone of Power and, for some reason, the Stone of Light (where did it come from???). As a result, I couldn't get the Stone of Ancestors, and, of course, I can't go through the portal:smile51: :mad:.
6. There were some minor comments and inaccuracies – for example:
- to get into the Human Treasury, Gabriel talks about a reputation of 65. I had 68 – but he still doesn't give the key, only at 75, and if you play as the Orcs, it's unlikely that this quest can be completed...
- when I captured the Orc Castles, quests to attack the Human Castle kept appearing (I think these scripts should have been reset after receiving the quest from the Humans...).
7. I don't understand the giant armies of monsters that guard some pile of resources (for example, how do you defeat 9,000 Ents without hypnosis or a Berserker? I understand that Wall of Swords is a great spell, but it would take about 2 hours to defeat them with two hundred Furies without a Disintegration Ray, and why? Gaining experience at level 32-33 is not a rewarding task...).

I would like to play the map as the Orcs – but now it's unlikely, because of the Stone of Ancestors...
