Description: In the days of Asahan's youth, when he was still a human, Sar-Ilam explored the world, gaining knowledge and improving his skills in the field of magic.
Along the way, he came across a lonely island far out at sea. This island was wild and uninhabited, but in its center, something was happening that was not created in the absence of magic.
Sar-Ilam decided to study the structure of the island and discovered a source rich in magic.
Many years have passed since then, and the descendants of Sar-Ilam, having populated the island, unleashed a war for the source.
Under the influence of greed and the desire to possess inexpressible power, mage went against mage, and the Earth itself trembled...

What is the point of this map, anyway? There are no mines near the castles (which provide the main building material), the dwelling-1 is guarded by hundreds of gremlins, and there are squads of level 4-5-6 monsters all around – are you supposed to spend a month gathering troops?

What is the point of this map? There are no mines near the castles (supplying the main building material), dwelling-1 is guarded by hundreds of gremlins, and there are squads of level 4-5-6 monsters all around - is the idea to spend a month gathering troops?

Well, in reality, it's incredibly difficult to develop a hero quickly, even on recruit difficulty. They just overwhelm you, and that's it - and gathering an army also takes time - the monsters also reproduce over time (.... But the map design, in my opinion, turned out quite well) even though I've only played a little bit of it.

The number of Gremlins depends on the difficulty level, and it doesn't change over time; there are a hundred or more only on Veteran and Hero difficulty (and what should be easy? :)).
The map is not built according to the classic scheme of object and creature placement, but that doesn't mean it's impassable. Don't stand near the Castle; move around. There are less protected objects, and there are creatures that can join you.

P.S. Regarding the distance between the mines and the Castle: I made it this way to make the map more challenging because a mine, for example, is located 3-4 turns away from the main Castle. If you capture it and then go in another direction, an enemy might come and take it back. Then you need to think about how many and what forces to send to the mine so that you don't leave the Castle undefended (after all, 3-4 turns, you might not have time to return in case of an attack) and to repel the attack on the mine (if the enemy is still nearby).
This map is designed more for playing between players than between a player and the AI :cool:

Has anyone completed the map? If so, please share your thoughts on what was good, what was bad, and if anything didn't work as intended.

I completed it, although it took me three months and I played on the "Wind" difficulty level, but I managed to do it on my first try without any major difficulties (I didn't try it on a hero).

I finished it, although it took three months and was played on the "wind" difficulty setting, but I completed it on my first try and without any major difficulties (I didn't try it on a hero).

If this was a hint that the map is simple, I can make it more difficult. I have some ideas, but I didn't add them right away to avoid overdoing it.

The map version 13.03.2012 v.1.4 is now quite challenging to complete. It seems you strengthened the armies in the garrisons. Overall, the map is well-made. I liked the storyline and the balance. I played as the Hero. I didn't find any bugs.

Thank you. There is no plot there, only a "spoiler" and its unique mechanic. The whole point of the map is to fight and hold it while eliminating the opponent.

However, the description states "Scenario," not "multiplayer." Or am I missing something? Anyway, I read the comments and decided not to download it. I prefer high-quality single-player scenarios (((

Map Type: Multiplayer

I didn't edit the name in the description; the map went through moderation due to the new formatting rules, and so on.
This is a multiplayer map, even though it has a slight story element.

P.S. Regarding quality, it's a matter of personal preference.
