Dear elizbar1967! You are clearly not Stanislavski. More like Doubting Thomas. My apologies for the dragon. It was Arcat's dragon. To me, they're all the same. I've attached a save file from before the final battle for the Necromancer's Castle. This is my first time doing this, so I might have made a mistake. I would advise you to play the map from the beginning on War difficulty.

Uploaded. Watched. And so? How did the first two battles against the Necromancers go?

Oh, alright. They happened, and they're over.

The first two battles against the Necromancer went well, as you can imagine. Of course, I didn't save them (which I now regret) because I didn't know what would happen next. The main thing is that I managed to keep a combat-ready army.
Keep in mind that the next Necromancers will be even tougher!
Let me clarify some points about the first siege. By this point, it won't be possible to build a Castle, but a Stronghold should be. The Necromancer doesn't use Phantom, that's what the next ones do. He has a powerful tent, and it wasn't possible to break through it with griffins. But it can be distracted on individual armored units as if it were a plague.
I decided to start all over again. I defended the outpost very well, and the Necromancer arrived after a week. But he came with 4 more Black Dragons, and despite the heroic defense of the undead, the dragons and the dead defeated me. I tried to abandon the Castle and make a circle. When I retook the Castle, another tough one arrived. This is not an option. I think the main thing is to do well in the first outpost defense. But I'll try again.
Question for the author: According to the quest, Laslo or Alaric's death is not allowed. But in reality, the game continues, although they cannot be hired again.

I tried to complete it on the original version (3.1) – it doesn't work because: the starting hero is extremely powerful, and it's impossible to defeat him. If anyone has managed to defeat him without using codes, please upload a video or save file. It can be completed on the Eve map because the enemy hero who appears at the beginning is weaker, and there is a chance to recruit strong neutral units into the hero's army. It's unclear whether this is a coincidence or a bug, but the possibility exists. I should also note that some scripts didn't work for me, but the game didn't crash!

ass1952, did you play the original version of the game, or with installed third-party mods?

The Necromancer is more developed, has more skills, has many times more attack, defense, and magic points, and has an army that is many times larger than yours – he is impossible to defeat. You write that you managed to maintain a combat-ready army. Where did you get an army from? You are not given an army or money at the beginning. Where did you get a combat-ready army in a week? Just open the map in the editor and take a look. Of course, you can use ArtMoney, but that's not the point. Your attack, defense, and magic are all at one, your army is zero at the beginning, and you have no bonuses. Let's look at the Necromancer. He has a Castle and a Vampire Estate. Arantir has cursed land, a scream of horror, 150 archers, 75 zombies, and 60 ghosts. His defense is 9, attack is 11, magic power is 16, and mana is 150!!! He has unholy word, raise dead, and animate dead. Giovanni and Markel are even more powerful. At the beginning of the game, they have 30,000 gold, and you have nothing. Arantir arrives on the second week, and Markel arrives three days later. What can you build in your Castle in a week without money and resources? Peasant huts, and maybe an archer tower. No towers, nothing. How can you win a battle against any of the Necromancers?

Arantir also has a scream of horror, which he successfully uses on the very first turn. After that, I don't make any more moves.

Friends, I understand your confusion, and I am surprised myself. The opponent is much stronger. Kozma Prutkov said, "If a cage with a lion has a sign saying it's a donkey, don't believe your eyes." But you saw the last save. I won!
Regarding the game version. About 10 years ago, I had the original disc, which was lost. Now, I have a version from the internet, upgraded to 3.1. There are no other enhancements. There isn't even the Wheel of Fortune.
I'm trying to repeat it again, but I'm still a little short. Maybe it would be better if he came in the 1st week, but without the dragons I recruited. But if I manage to do it, I will definitely post it.

After reading the debate, I decided to try it out and played as the hero. It wasn't easy, but I managed to complete it in 52 days (and got the Thunderlord as a reward). Undoubtedly, Necromancers are strong, and I spent the first 3-4 weeks running away from them and gathering strength. The situation was also complicated by the lack of wood and ore (I couldn't build a castle, so I focused on preparation). But gradually, things started to improve, and I defeated the enemies. Yes, I should mention that I didn't play with the suggested weak heroes, but chose Vitia, the machine gunner. I developed his machines, defense up to Battle Defense Points (BDP), luck, and logistics. After that, it was just a matter of technique.

atlant108 has already broken the record for the number of pointless posts made to promote a project that he doesn't even understand. This is already acting as negative advertising (I already know people who don't play EWA just because of the incompetence of the promoters). Stop harming yourself, a good project, and the forum.

The map has caused quite a stir... I wonder if the author will find out about this?))
Antik, do you want to upload walkthroughs of forum maps to your channel? In particular, you could upload this one.

Dyrman, please finally leave me alone. I'm really fed up. At first, I was insulted in VKontakte – they wrote all sorts of nonsense. Then they started insulting my sister. What did she do to you? What do you want from us?
Your personal dislike for me is already crossing all boundaries.
What have I personally done to offend you?
I wrote my opinion about this map. The fact that I played it on a mod doesn't mean I'm advertising that mod.
And I have nothing to do with the development of the mod, as I have repeatedly stated. A moderator shouldn't be so biased.

I expressed my opinion about this map. Just because I played it with a mod doesn't mean I'm advertising that mod.
And I have nothing to do with the development of the mod, as I've said many times. A moderator shouldn't be so biased.

This is the opinion of many people... and it's not something I imposed on them; it's their own opinion. And it's obvious.
I write about what you (your circle and fake accounts) are doing. If it's offensive, then don't do it. And don't send me millions of messages on VKontakte around the clock (from fake male and female accounts and from yourself). At least sometimes, in your map walkthroughs, talk about the plot, gameplay, etc. Right now, I see that you were involved in boosting and ruining things. The important thing here isn't the advertising, but your actions. Let's not get personal. As a moderator, I have the right to evaluate your actions in relation to the forum and express them as official messages.

If you have nothing to do with the development of the mod, then don't say that you're currently working on it or that you'll fix something, or that something needs to be made even stronger, etc. Denis is sometimes shocked by this.

I'm saying this so that you don't write posts just for the sake of writing them. Do you want to talk about your feelings towards me? I'm waiting. For now, I have responsibilities to the forum.

I'm a bit surprised that it took so long for one of the moderators to finally directly characterize the actions of a well-known forum user (judging by the style, someone who "operates" under several nicknames) as the proliferation of pointless and content-free posts. In a society, when someone has a lowered moral and ethical threshold or, excuse me, has a simple mental disorder, measures are taken. So, all the grievances of this person should be attributed to themselves.

:D :D :D

I really support your decision to move the discussion to PM, guys. This is, after all, a discussion about the map.

I played as Necromancers, and I had three heroes at the same time.
