I couldn't resist playing this map again with the Dark Elves (especially since there aren't any other new maps yet). Again, I chose Leto as my starting hero, and this time I managed to develop him as planned – in the first stage, focusing on dark magic and logistics, then on witchcraft, chaos magic, and summoning. The key battle was against the Cyclops, which I fought with two Furies and five Goblins, after which the hero's level increased by five points and exceeded the critical threshold.
In the Guild of Mages, as always, there were no Berserk or Hypnotize spells available, but Hypnotize was found in the spell shop. As a result, on the third week, I managed to break through the outposts to the blue castle and conquer it within the same week. It turned out to be a weak player who didn't even bother to develop the Guild of Mages beyond the first level (what a jerk!). Spending five days developing it was an unaffordable luxury, so I had to break through the outpost to the teleport again, practically using only Hypnotize. I made it to the upper half of the map, conquered the outposts to the yellow castle, and on day 29, I captured the yellow castle (it was guarded by Devils). Thank goodness they developed the Guild of Mages to level 5, and it contained both "Berserk" and "Curse," so the rest of the game was reduced to beating up weaklings; even the last two outposts to the green castle didn't create any obstacles, but only accelerated the completion of the map (Path of War). As a result, I completed it in 35 days.
I got more than 10,000 points, but I was given the "Warmonger" achievement again :( - I don't understand at all how many points I need to get to be given the "Black Dragon" achievement:confused:
