Heart of the Volcano

Auto-translated
We decided to play this map with a friend as an alternative to Absolute Power... usually, we play maps focused on heroes. But after the first launch, it became clear that the difficulty should be reduced slightly (we left it on Veteran) - all the resources/mines are guarded by very powerful stacks, which are impossible to clear for certain Factions (Warlock, for example) in the first two weeks. By the way, for the Warlock, the well near the city is inaccessible in the empty starting area - there's no way to get to it...
The difficulty was also increased by the fact that we are playing with EWA - by the way, the map works quite correctly on it. But with such strong stacks of creatures, it is very, very difficult to level up - we played for about 8 hours of game time, I reached level 20, and my friend reached level 18. We haven't left our starting location yet - I'm being blocked by a stack of Ice Undead with "Freezing Cold"... I think there's at least ten more hours of gameplay left - although it's not a fact that we'll reach the PvP stage - most likely, sooner or later, one of us will be defeated by the next overpowered stack...
In general, the map is interesting. But it's very difficult - probably the most difficult in terms of leveling up of all the maps I've played. Usually, a campaign takes from three to ten hours - here, in this time, we haven't even managed to leave the starting location yet
