Heart of the Volcano

I played as Humans with the Warrior class. I got lucky with the heroes. My starting hero was Gordrik, and Frida with "Vengeance" joined him right away. The following week, Isabel joined.
My opponents were Elves (blue), Humans (yellow), and two Orcish towns.
I was playing against the AI. Regarding mods, which one are you referring to?
Overall, the map is interesting, and there are plenty of places to explore, but due to its size, it takes a long time to load and crashes.
Once you capture artifacts and two towns, the interest fades, especially since the neutrals become extremely strong by that time.
By the way, the two Orcs didn't fight each other for some reason?

A mod for mega AI. Playing against humans on such maps is still a priority. If I play against the computer in Multiplayer, I get bored on any map as soon as there are no strong opponents left, i.e., sometimes it's enough to defeat the AI's main hero, and there's no point in continuing the game.
With a human, you can at least agree to develop your characters well first, and then have the decisive battle. This keeps the interest until the end of the game.
Regarding the crashes, it's not due to the map size, but something else. It needs to be investigated. It crashed a couple of times for me too.
For the AI playing as the Warrior, the guards on the map are very strong. They probably don't pose a significant threat
