Today, I finished this map. Or rather, this game. Of all the maps where the player only controls a hero and doesn't engage in building or racing against an opponent, "Path of the Hero" is the most interesting and well-developed, both in terms of gameplay and storyline. Many diverse features, such as rune magic and alchemy, may initially seem confusing, but their usefulness is later revealed to the player. I will definitely find time to replay the map, most likely using different approaches.

The only thing I didn't figure out is what the combat notches are for. When selecting this option, a script error occurs.
