I took a look in the editor. The map itself looks good, especially for a first attempt, but the landscape is still a bit "flat." I'm starting to play.

Added 1 hour ago
The first battles went smoothly because the hero has regeneration from the start, a developed light skill, and, as if that weren't enough, a lion set and 25 horses (10 upgraded and 15 regular). After upgrading the horses, the demon garrison falls without any problems. But there were difficulties with the city. Part of the territory is simply blocked, and the player simply cannot pass. So, the only way is to go to the city. But, damn, how do you kill 260 succubi? They destroy everything with their first shots. I tried leaving only horses, the whole army, but it doesn't help... I just don't know how to kill them. With darkness, through vulnerability? But there are no darkness spells.

To capture a Castle, you need to think carefully, really carefully. Here's a small hint: you can find help by turning right off the road before the garrison. Think about it, look at what bases I've given the hero. You can also significantly improve the hero before storming the castle.

The hero is a high level, level 21. But not a single unit makes it to the demons. They are sitting in the city, and the catapult hits everywhere but the gate, as usual. Paladins stand in the moat opposite the breach in the wall and... succubi one-shot them.

On the twentieth attempt, the city was captured, thanks to the hellhounds running out of the city, thus opening the gates. But the losses are simply enormous. All the archers, half of the inquisitors, and the knights. Let's see what happens next...

A high-level hero, level 21. However, no squad manages to reach the demons. They sit in the city, and the catapult hits everywhere but the gate, as usual. Paladins stand in the moat opposite the breach in the wall and... succubi one-shot them.

Well, I've added the possibility to break through using an alternative method with the help of the old man, with fewer losses. But this way also works. Although you'll need the archers later.

I don't know how a single dwarven old man can help. I added him, but nothing happened. I walked around the area where the old man was standing – still nothing.

I don't know how a single dwarven elder can help. I recruited him, but nothing happened. I walked around the place where this old man was standing – still nothing.

I hid the puzzle here.

It's done.

The walkthrough isn't great. The map is small, and the hero can't even move properly. Every location you choose is a blocked region. And the "puzzle" with the old man doesn't add any enjoyment. If the old man asked you to solve something, there would be no complaints, but here... You're looking for something, but we won't tell you what to look for.

I played it a bit. The map is beautiful, especially considering it's your first work. Surprisingly, there are a lot of scripts, including purely decorative ones. It has a rather unusual concept, requiring you to find the key to most of the battles. Unfortunately, this kind of concept is unlikely to become popular among the forum players. You have to rack your brains from the very beginning, even though the mission is small. To be honest, I didn't play it very much. There's too much randomness and reliance on a favorable outcome in battle. I noticed a couple of typos, but overall the texts are well-written.

All that's left is for you to wait for your hero, who will finally pass all the tests and defeat the damned demons).
