Heroist

I completed the Witch Ritual right at the beginning and used it to conquer the entire northern part of the map, except for one city. My army consistently included paladins, adepts, and crossbowmen. By summoning undead, I created something like a "meat shield," providing excellent cover for my ranged units.
And yes, I completed the map.
To put it simply, while I would rate the previous maps a five out of five, I would give this one a ten. It's simply fantastic. I really liked the surface treatment and the style of the terrain; I often use something similar when creating human and swamp lands. The cutscenes are excellent, the missions are interesting and well-thought-out, and the plot unfolds in a very engaging way. I haven't been this engrossed in a playthrough in a long time. The ending is certainly unusual; so many thousands died for a short dialogue with the understanding high priest, who is also quite quick-witted. I even felt sorry for him at the end.
I only managed to level up the hero to level 33; I think I need to add a couple of Silanna artifacts. Also, the final battle definitely needs to be made more challenging – my army completely crushed Dominic's forces. I ended up with 74 Archangels, which I hadn't even purchased before.
Tomorrow, I'll try to play the fifth mission.
And I have a couple of questions:
1) Who is Andrias? Is this a randomly chosen name, or was this character present in the original version? After all, Prince Andrias was killed by Biara...
2) Why does Arantir go to Stonehelm if Menelag and Fenrig were still in Iven? What was he doing there?
3) What actually happened in Iven, and how did the book end up with Dominic? Did he give the runes to the mages? I think I missed that part.
4) Am I correct in assuming that some of the Empire's troops (the green seraphim) were actually agents of Kha-Beleth, who were supposed to accompany Dominic in his attempt to destroy Shio?
I'll add more questions later if I remember anything else. Thank you so much for the enjoyable weekend!
