Colleagues, there is this campaign: 566 Year – Day of Fiery Tears – it’s the first fan-made campaign for Heroes V (5 missions; author – OgoI). The campaign features many scripts and has numerous side quests. New quests are given depending on your Walkthrough. The campaign is in Russian. Recommended difficulty level is Veteran; playing on Hero mode is quite difficult but interesting. If anyone manages to complete it on Hero mode, please let us know.
Note that this campaign is included in the EWA 2.12 collection. The campaign is optimized for version 3.1

Personally, I want to try completing it on Hero mode – so expect News

So, today I started playing the 566 Year – Day of Fiery Tears campaign.
For now, I have only completed the first (easiest) mission.
I played on Hero difficulty! My game modification: Tribes of the East 3.1 + EWA 2.12 mod

My ratings for the game:

Plot: 10/10
Gameplay: 9.7/10
Design: 10/10
Originality: 9.9/10
Game atmosphere: 10/10
Quests: 9.8/10 (some are very difficult)
Overall impression: 10 points
The author (Ogo) did a great job and filled his scenarios with scripts, as well as came up with interesting quests and situations during the Walkthrough. A huge amount of work was done with the scripts. And I also really liked some battles – almost to the limit, while it is necessary to minimize losses for future battles. This game is a masterpiece; it’s challenging, interesting, and develops intelligence!
Regarding the Walkthrough: it is better to choose stone spikes as a bonus. Furthermore, since the main hero is a high elf, I developed luck+defense+specialized skills (I didn't take logistics). I reached the first garrison in 12 days, completing all additional quests!
Attention after taking soldier's luck + travel luck, I received a rare specialized skill: elven luck!!! (increases the damage bonus from a successful attack from 100% to 125%). And this is at level 10 of the hero's development; before that, I only got this skill at levels 27-28. Apparently, here played a role the TE mod included in the EWA 2.12 modification. It turns out that the hero's development goes faster - which is doubly pleasant.
Finished the first mission at level 22!
