Walkthroughs for custom maps.

According to the plot, Theoden and Isildur should be there, with one of them possibly visiting the keymaster's tent... but otherwise, it repeats the concepts from the movie.

I brought Gandalf to the one-way gates with a legion of griffins and am trying to break through.
I'm stubbornly trying to complete this map and the Jedi story, and I want to share a walkthrough of several maps.

One of the most brutal is "The Great War of Dracon." I couldn't find it on the Heroes portal to post a link (I posted it below).
Once upon a time, there were three brothers, two dragons, and a judge. One day, the dragons had a deadly quarrel, and the third decided to reconcile them (as history showed, the judging turned out to be poor).

According to the scenario, you need to kill a hero. I played as the Red Dragon and the Castle. Our hero must kill his dragon brother (he has a Tower) to open the gates and reach the judge. But getting to the dragon is an extremely difficult task.
There are three castles - central, left, and right. There is also another neutral castle in the lower right part of the map, but it is guarded by legions of ifrits and devils. The left and right castles are locked by gate guards and can only be opened by the Dragon.

I'll start with the bonuses - the central castle has 2 obelisks and a Grail buried right in front of the castle. On the way to the left, there is a blue tent, and next to the right castle, there is a green one. Both tents are under strong invisible protection (it will be a little easier with the blue one, but the green one is just a nightmare). Red dragons serve us (fairytale dragons serve the enemy), there are many places where castle creatures are born, but all are guarded by legions of the enemy race. There are also several elder huts with quests on the map. For completing the request, the elders give red dragons. There is a portal to the mountains, but flying and spatial gates are prohibited (otherwise, the game would not make sense). The second dragon cannot come to us on its own.

Now for the cons, and there are a lot of them. Diplomacy does not work, and the enemy legions are ready to die for their "milord." From the blue tent, the road leads down and to the left. Even further to the left is the road to the left castle, but right in the middle lies a cloak of speed, which a wizard asks to deliver. The path to it is guarded by invisible legions of undead.
After opening the road to the right castle, I took a detour to the left. When the dragon became strong enough, we went through the portal to the neutral castle and defeated the devilish defense. Now we have 4 castles, a Grail, and a legion statue.

After defeating the undead legions, I decided to take the cloak. But the rag turned out to be not simple - it was guarded by 3000 azure creatures. After barely coping with them, I ran to the elder, and he gave me 300 red ones in return! I was so angry that I wanted to replay, but I changed my mind (and not in vain!). My dragons, honor to them, turned out to be just sweethearts; without them, I would not have won. With the dragon blood vial, the dragons became the main combat unit. After learning movement on water in one of the castles, I sent the dragon to explore the lower part of the map (the third brother was hiding there), a little higher there was an island, also with legions of dragons (well, we are already used to it), and gates leading to the second dragon's domain. At the gates, a guard approached with the words, "I tried to make you change your mind" (well, if he's such a fool, then move on). And there was a guard of legions of azure and fairytale creatures.
After killing them, I got to the land of the brother-enemy. Somewhere in my soul, I hoped that legions of my race would meet me there, but no, the Dragon cleared everything he could reach. Upon seeing me, he immediately hid in the tower. I didn't decide to attack him right away; the army was not weak. I captured other castles and killed a couple of his heroes. Then I stood in front of his castle. I waited a couple of days, and he finally couldn't stand it and attacked. And he died, taking out almost all my army. Only a hundred dragons survived. The main thing is that the path to the judge was open.

I brought the hero home, opened the gates, and went to the third brother's tower. (I was horrified, thinking that he would also meet me with legions), but everything turned out to be much more prosaic. A heroine with a meager army was hiding in the tower, and the judge with several gremlins stood between me and the castle. For some reason, the brother had a female avatar (he managed to change his gender while I was getting to him))). It was him that I had to kill to win. Victory!)
The game took almost 30 months and was incredibly exhausting (after it, I stayed away from the computer for a couple of weeks).
