Question about the map "Empire of the World".

The empire of world 2...
The map is simply catastrophically terrible...
Firstly, the plot:
It's there, but it's so poorly thought out, everything is so mixed up (Robin Hood, elemental gods, some Maximus, Prince John, Genghis Khan, Merlin, and the like)... That in the end, there is no complete plot or overall picture.
Secondly:
The map's landscape itself is not fully thought out. How did you even manage to complete this mess? The map has a minimum of traversable areas, and even less. There's no normal path to the objectives. I opened it in the editor, and even in the editor, I couldn't understand how you could get anywhere without the "Fly" and "Dimension Door" spells (which, by the way, are not available). There are many objects that are simply impossible to visit. Then, there's all sorts of surfaces on top of the water (swimming through cursed land and other fields – that's just ridiculous). Creatures standing on water. Objects and neutrals that you can't reach...
Sixthly:
There's only one direction, constant movement along a set path, completing quest after quest, and they're all monotonous (first, defeat one hero, then the second, then the third, and so on). There's no variation, no alternative. You just run around with one hero, collect thousands and hundreds of creatures in one stack, and just crush the enemy with the same hundreds and thousands of monsters in a stack...
I think the only questions about this map should be directed at the author...
Yeah, someone already wrote about this before:

A hellish map. Not because it's difficult, but because it's tedious. It's not a strategy game, but one long quest, and a very monotonous one at that. It all boils down to finding a hidden passage, an artifact, or an event. There's nothing else interesting on this map. Battles, especially after getting the vulnerability medal, don't evoke anything but boredom.

bolotnik, you haven't even seen "Jedi story" yet! ;) Warning: this map will drive you crazy! I completed it in 29 months (although it could have been faster, but I made a couple of serious mistakes, which caused me to get stuck in two places for a long time until I looked up some details in the editor)!
