Hello.
Dear MasteR, could you please advise on how to fix the bug that causes the game to crash when loading saves on this map? It's confusing because sometimes it starts loading, and then it stops again. There is absolutely no logic to this problem. Can you suggest anything?

On all large maps, there are issues with save game crashes. The problem here is more likely with the game's optimization.

I can still understand why the game crashes when loading saves, but why does it crash when I try to save?

Hello.
Please tell me how to get rid of the bug that causes the game to crash when loading saves on this map?

Clean up the game folders. Delete mods and other maps – they all have a certain impact on stability, up to the point where, with a large number of maps in the directory, the game starts to malfunction. For the same reason, reduce the number of saves in the corresponding folder. Try not to prolong the game; the longer the game time, the more crashes there will be. The map is not perfect (I wrote about crashes before), but it is functional for all factions, and you can reach the final stage.

The map isn't perfect (I mentioned the crashes earlier), but it works for all factions, and you can play it to the end.

You were right; to run the scenario, I installed another clean client, and it only had the initiative bonus from the mods, and everything worked, hooray.

Regarding the scenario: It's extremely good, the map itself is gorgeous, packed to the brim, and you immediately feel the creator's enthusiasm. I played on veteran difficulty, and overall, it was stable and problem-free. I like to clear the entire map, and in the end, it took almost 13 months in-game :D So, some of the armies I encountered towards the end were almost impossible to defeat with regular troops. Luckily, I had Vampirism and a Mentor in the center of the map in the Necropolis. Basically, Ingvar + Vampirism = destroying everything except undead, and I was really enjoying how I was killing them. Runes + Erls saved me. Well, okay, I took screenshots of the most fun battles and will upload them to the app.
The last battle against the guardians of the red tent failed; I should have killed them earlier. In the end, I arrived at them on the 13th month, and there were approximately 1.5k phoenixes, 3k of those knights, 6k elementals and mummies + 2k manticores. In principle, vampirism would have helped, but Deadly Strike just ruined everything; I couldn't break through it. In the end, I only passed this guard by hacking, there was no other way.
The battle with the red hero even seemed boring after the battles with the undead legions; maybe it should be made stronger.

I also noticed a few oddities; maybe they were described above, but I didn't read it:

1. Regarding the activation of the construction of level 7 units, I played as dwarves, and I'll say this: I gathered a set of kings quite quickly and, after visiting the prophet, entered the Castle by the end of the 2nd month, but the script didn't work, and the construction was blocked. It was frustrating; the next time, I only ran in after half a year, and the script finally worked. I don't know what this glitch is related to;
2. When storming a Castle with companions and capturing it, their hero remains in the Castle forever; after the victory, they don't leave the Castle. This happened to me when capturing a Necropolis with Academics and a Light Elf Castle with Dark Elves. In both situations, the best troops and heroes are uselessly standing in the cities.

In general, I really liked the map; thank you to the creator :smile41: and best wishes for future creative success.

This is an extremely difficult scenario; I haven't been able to complete it yet. It reminds me of "Uninvited Guests" in some ways. I don't know how to beat it with a hero. Can you suggest a strategy for completing it?

It needs to be more challenging!
I asked the streamer "Heroes for fun" where I could download challenging, perhaps even impossible, maps. He suggested downloading maps from "Master" (the map "Uninvited Guests" is divine).
I played through your map (as Elves, of course, on "Hero" difficulty). It was interesting, especially the final battle. Thank you very much! We'll be waiting for more challenging and interesting scenarios!

P.S. Can anyone suggest where I can find/download very difficult maps for Heroes 5?

It's surprising that you were able to complete it on Hero difficulty. In my opinion, it's impossible even on Veteran! And you want even more challenging maps?!!!!
I don't even know what to say to that. In general, the maps and campaigns by "Master" are considered the most difficult.

Why is the hero Ravenna missing from the Necropolis faction?

How do I get to the mentor? I don't understand... there's no way through.

Could you please tell me how to obtain the Cloak of Deadly Shadows? I can't figure out how to get there. Also, I don't understand where to find the Dragon's Fiery Tongue. I thought I could find a walkthrough on YouTube, but I couldn't find one. It seems like the scenario is too complex for a video walkthrough.

Did you get to the mentor? I suspect that further in the game, there will be a script (a walkthrough) or the Angel Wings will be hidden somewhere.
P.S. I haven't gone underground yet.

Can anyone tell me:

in the Dungeon, in the lower corner, there is a gold mine near the lake. How can I get to it? I've tried different approaches, but nothing works.

Okay, I found these levitation boots here: https://d.radikal.ru/d16/1903/ab/1069de762140.jpg

The guards are phoenixes (there's also a prophet's hut).

What options have you tried? I thought it was somewhere on the Angel Wings map, but I found this bolt with a thread for this case: :smile31:

Thank you very much! This is exactly what I needed!

Hey, I think there were some levitation boots somewhere around there.
