My impressions of the game: perhaps the author will find it interesting.
Overall, I liked the map; it's well done! A great idea, and everything is generally at a high level.
I started playing as a hero.
The spells for the main hero mainly protect the ranged units (druids, monks), I don't know if it's intentional or not, who move faster than me and, accordingly, eliminate a significant portion of the army. Losing an army with such meager reinforcements was not part of my plans, so I naturally avoided many outposts. I reached the garrison where I am not allowed to go further into the Dungeon. I came here to read. I read. After that, my interest in the map disappeared:
1) To complete the map, you need to develop the hero in a specific way (like Darkness), but there are no hints within the map itself, except for insider information. (some information on signs, hints, etc.) If that's the case, there should still be the possibility of completing the map with different hero builds. I've played difficult maps with Darkness – yes, everything is clear there, and it's winnable. But that's already been done.
2) The second remark is for the map in general. (it's noticeable even in the first month and a half, and it will only get worse if you read about how players complete it). To successfully complete the map, you have to replay many battles, even minor ones. That is, you have to attack superior forces, and to win, you have to rely on luck rather than your own intelligence. I don't like this style of replaying 5 times, and it also indicates that the balance is not right.
I strongly agree, except for these drawbacks, the map is excellent.
P.S. I can't defeat the black dragons (about 500 of them, 4-5 game months, hero difficulty) before the Rune Battle Axe (it's needed to complete the map).
Varens, level 28 (Darkness, Logistics, Luck, Attack, Defense), 500, 200, 300, 70, 40, 20, 10 creatures of the Order faction (levels 1 to 7, respectively).
The dragons wipe out the entire army, and very quickly.
I suspect that I need to attack them sooner, because their growth rate is +11% per week, while ours is much lower. Can you advise me on what to do about this?
