Map description (briefly):
Necromancers, demons, rebellions... Laslo has returned from his expeditions in the Stone Halls, and Alarik already has enough problems - the Necromancers have occupied the Graveyard Forests, taking advantage of the fact that no one has lived there for hundreds of years, and they are staging provocations on the borders with the Empire. It's time to deal with the undead and make sure that the Graveyard Forests become the last resting place for Arantir and his decaying minions.

Features (not all)
Alarik can run, and his special ability has been changed.
There are some effects on the map.
There's something else there, I don't remember...:D

Hey, don't be upset. There are so many new maps being released right now that it's just impossible to check them all and leave feedback for the authors. I'm going to download this map now, but I don't know when I'll have time to play it.

A NEW VERSION OF THE MAP IS OUT!!! DOWNLOAD IT ON THE FIRST PAGE. THE MAP IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. IT'S GOOD.

This is a masterpiece, not just a map!:smile49: I take my hat off to you:smile20:

"News from the Front" Issue #2:
During the first three days, Alaric appointed himself as the army's general, and Sancho and Laszlo were appointed as colonels. Then, a ceremonial parade took place, after which the general took the entire army from his subordinates and set out to capture nearby mines. First, he easily destroyed an army of golems (a mine), and then an army of ghosts (a sawmill); during the latter battle, he lost almost all of his archers. Meanwhile, the colonels set out to scout the surrounding area. Laszlo went north, and Sancho went southeast. In the area near the library, a certain Ibrahim was spotted, who landed from the river and made his way to the road through the forest paths. Laszlo, with one peasant, fled, i.e., made a tactical retreat back to the Castle. Currently, Alaric is heading to destroy Ibrahim. Ibrahim was replaced by Lord Giovanni, and Ibrahim boarded a ship and set sail for his homeland.
Giovanni, with one zombie, was destroyed.
A few days later, Ibrahim arrived with an army of 182 skeleton archers, 102 zombies, 40 ghosts stealing arrows, and 20 vampires. This horde besieged Holyflame, which had 70 archers, 14 monks, 19 swordsmen, 170 landlords, and 1 adept. As a result, the enemy retreated, losing all of its vampires, all of its ghosts, all of its zombies, and more than a hundred skeletons. My losses were 6 archers, a little over a hundred landlords, 10 monks, less than ten swordsmen, and 1 adept.

"Some Ibrahim," as you may have noticed, is our old friend, Markel. And he placed 2 ships for the enemies so that the player's units could disembark on the shore.

Giovanni was destroyed with one zombie.

Haha, lol :)

So, the passage was left intentionally. By the way, I already have both ships. P.S. The walkthrough has been updated.

From the very beginning, Alaric is in command of the army. The initial phase: preparing for defense. In the first week, the army is built up to a force of monks. Laslo Sancho conducts a reconnaissance operation to locate the enemy and reveal the map. When Laslo reaches the northern tip of the peninsula, Ibrahim lands on the shore with a powerful undead army. The order is approved for the reconnaissance squad to return home. Sancho takes refuge in a monastery. The Archbishop and his army attempt to outflank the enemy, but as a result, the enemy ends up near an unprotected castle. The armies under the command of General Alaric, having captured a ship, land on the enemy side of the island. Meanwhile, a new week begins. Laslo is entrenched in the city. Holyflame is in a state of absolute defensibility. Walls and towers are built, and the army is assembled. A hero with one peasant is sent behind enemy lines. The AI reacts to this as usual and chases the brave warrior all the way to the northern tip of the peninsula, where he has to engage in battle and methodically retreat:smile13:. The final part: the last week of the bloody battle. Alaric, with his army reduced to a single skeleton, is killed in a naval battle before the landing. Three days later, his city falls, along with Giovanni. The second week of Holyflame's defensive state comes to an end. The armies have doubled. The enemy does not dare to attack the city and heads to capture the mines in the northeast and north of the peninsula, having no way to retreat to their own island. At the same time, Alaric, after completing the devastation of the enemy's lands, decides to return to Holyflame. Half a week later, Laslo and the Archbishop cut off Ibrahim's path to both cities. The time for the general battle has come, but after a week of the necromancer being without a city, his armies desert, and the mission is completed:smile47:

Alaric and his army were wiped out in a single skeleton during a naval battle before the landing.

What!? Maybe it was Arantir?
P.S. Did you complete the map in 3 weeks!? Or is this a brief description?

Yes, Arantir:smile02: I finished it, I think, in three weeks and four days:smile16: My gameplay tactics are actually paying off:smile09:

By the way, you just put in an avatar and a model of Markel:smile54: And you wisely changed the specialization:smile12: That's right, otherwise all the undead on the map would have gone against the player:smile33:

Well, I also kept my own convenience in mind :D

Hey... you've become quite bourgeois - you're cruising around in boats, bypassing the checkpoint... we need to shut down this operation, comrades!

If you're still interested in playing, you can download it on the first page...

Here you go:smile24: Let everything be decided in the final battle after the outposts are destroyed, but the undead have more chances in this regard – they have the Necropolis. That is, their army will be replenished very quickly, and the buildings will be rebuilt accordingly, but I didn't see that formidable force in the opponent that could be created with his capabilities:smile51:

The map is really interesting, although I personally prefer Necropolis. Drake, no matter how many times I put him against Markel, it seems like he doesn't know anything about his specialization. And if he does gather someone to block the way, he acts very timidly afterward, and if he does attack, he acts extremely ineptly in a battle against a huge opponent. Honestly, I don't know what causes this kind of stupidity in Markel, but unfortunately, I've verified this many times.
P.S. Sorry for the off-topic rant about the map; everything is fine with the map itself. I didn't win in 3 weeks, but in this difficult world, Necropolis practically has no chance of survival after a month.

Hey, I haven't started a new map yet, so I tweaked this one a bit – I built a Necropolis for the Necromancer, gave Ibrahim Marckel's specialty back, lowered Laszlo's attributes (I wasn't really paying attention to them – they all started at 10, which wasn't right), and gave him the "Fallen Knight" perk, and also adjusted some of the monsters.
By the way, don't forget to check the mission objectives...

I downloaded the new map, but it doesn't work; its size is only 1KB. Thanks, I'll try again in an hour; don't expect news for 4 weeks. Oh, yes, I almost forgot: Laszlo didn't return from his expedition to the stone halls. If you remember, Frida killed him near Horncrest, with Wolfsten and Duncan helping her. Laszlo was killed in my game, and the game continues? Something seems to be wrong with the tasks.
