3. It's not that it's too early, but rather... it loses its meaning. Why? If the player doesn't have logistics, they'll have to gather resources and build up their army to complete the Walkthrough, and then Andreyka will show up and it's game over. If they have logistics, they'll run around collecting gold from all the monsters and then run away from Andreyka (while losing more than 50% of their troops in the Prophet's quest). If we manage to get the sulfur and escape through the portal, as the Fire Elementals did, Andreyka will reach the crossroads in the time we spend on troops and quests anyway. What's the point?
If we consider the option of breaking through the garrison, we can break through the first one, but not the second or the rest. What's the point?
If we follow the storyline, then yes, we can complete it linearly. But then we lose the alternative ways to complete the Walkthrough (if we play fairly and without cheats).
This is all on Hero difficulty.
4. I mean the option for the player to be able to reach Ayven without completing the quest for the monazite sand and weakening Dominick. Because when I played, I created a pretty decent army using necromancy and the undead converter, and I didn't see the point in weakening Dominick.
Or maybe I missed something?
