Walkthroughs for custom maps.

and first of all, we need to thank Marmot, who even translated the texts and events in the game from German to Russian.
yes, that's right Dunkler Horizont V02
it's better to play the simple version 02
if you launch version -02 Pact of Evil, then the computers will be allied and it will be a little more difficult to defeat them

Sorry for not writing anything for a long time: I took a break from the game for 2 months. I have almost finished a review of the map "The Fall of Atlantis", which I completed, and I also want to tell you about the excellent RPG map "The 5th element episode 1 (SoD)", which I got stuck on and put it aside, and also about another RPG map "Dragon Lord", which I haven't finished yet, but victory should be mine.
Regarding the map Dunkler Horizont. I was afraid that you would scold me for suggesting this "tough nut" to you! Although it is possible that now pros will come and say that it is easy. ;)
I will repeat the main aspects: the map is in German, from the kartenarchiv.de website, where Germans share maps made for themselves, and it is one of the best rated there. I was attracted by the detailed design, the abundance of monsters, and the large amount of text.
The first obstacle was the text itself (and there is a lot of it), which, due to the lack of knowledge of German, was translated using Google Translate, and I translated it about halfway. Everything that is important to read at the beginning of the game has been translated. See the files "Translation of plot events" and "Translation of events on the map".
The texts of quests and events on the map, at least in the translated part, do not contain any fundamentally important information.
So, I still don't understand the author's intention, that is, how to defeat the enemies: any secret paths or means. There are constantly not enough resources, so the troops, which are rapidly growing in the Castle due to events, cannot be bought. The player is too weak. And when enemies come and start pressing from three sides, there is nowhere to go. I got into a boat and sailed north, hoping to capture the 3rd Castle, but the monsters on the way and the guards are very strong, and I had to abandon this idea.
I read the comments on the map on that site with a translator, but I didn't find out anything important, except that some people were able to complete it, but how - I have no idea. Maybe, if you set the average or even low difficulty, you can still get strong enough to face the enemies.
Ah, I just reread the translation of the comments: well, yes, the first player who managed to complete it used the well-known "tool against which there is no defense": he hired a necromancer, gathered the King of the Undead's Cloak, "bred" a bunch of liches and defeated everyone! If the map can only be completed this way, then it is disappointing: in my opinion, there should be a more normal way to succeed.
I also dug up another German map, "Der Ansturm der Untoten Horde II", which seems to be on the same site, and it looks very attractive, but due to the failure to complete "Dunkler Horizont", I am very afraid that I will not be able to complete it either, especially since, according to the description, there are many quests, and one of them (it seems, optional) has a strict time limit. There is also a lot of text there, and it would be a pity to waste time translating it, not knowing if it will be in vain.
