I'm playing on Hero difficulty, and it took me 3 months to complete the first mission, but now I'm stuck on the second. Although I'm a bit discouraged by the lost experience and the strong enemies around, I'll keep thinking and, of course, reading. I've been playing this author's maps for a while now, and I'm still surprised. It feels like the author is strongly against completing his maps, not only on Hero difficulty but also on Veteran (it's almost like misanthropy, just kidding). At the same time, the author makes the maps so complex (technically) and confusing (in terms of plot) that they can easily have their own cardinal directions, scripts can fail, resources may be missing, or there can be extremely powerful neutral creatures. Of course, this adds a certain thrill, but everything has its limits. At some point, the author directly suggested using the console to complete his map, but not everyone knows how to or wants to do that. In my opinion, the author forgets one important saying: the best is the enemy of the good. Nevertheless, thank you to the author and best of luck with your creative endeavors.

Regarding difficulty, for me, the benchmark is a practically impossible completion of a map on Hero difficulty. If even one person completes it on Hero without cheats, it means the map is passable.

Regarding the console, many people got stuck on the "Path of the Outcast" mission, in which I couldn't fix one error in the script. Since the mission is very large, it wouldn't be good to have to replay it from the beginning because of such a minor issue. Therefore, I suggested a way to solve the problem using the console until a corrected version appears.

Unfortunately, recently there has been an issue with the TalkBox function. Either many people are stubbornly trying to play maps on version 3.0 instead of 3.1, or there is some map/mod that negatively affects the functionality of this function, or there is some broken repack on the internet where this functionality has been cut. In any case, the problem is not on my side, but in order for people to continue playing, I have to find ways to fix the error using the console
