Well, many players have completed it with different heroes, so this map is indeed passable, but it's not easy.

What’s new in the extra version?

In Hard mode? Obviously, it’s more challenging to complete.

Well, on the second week, an Orc with a 3-shot ballista attacked me; maybe he was just lucky.

Thank you to the author; both parts of the map are very good.

The map would have been good if it weren't for that mountain priest or whatever he is, and the mine. It's impossible to find without a description. But the main thing that ruined it, after several hours of playing, I killed Nicholas, but he still controlled two castles, and as a result, they became allied, and the quest remained unfinished. Great! I have to start all over again...

I played as a Warrior and got the Vampire badge. I just ignored the quests (Nicholas, the dungeon, and the artifacts). The arena isn't quite clear with this boss. I didn't have enough strength to defeat him, so I reloaded. Why is he even there? This time, I built the Ash's Tear.

I accidentally sold items that the Death Knight needed for the quest. Luckily, I farmed the necessary items on the Red Key difficulty. (I even managed to get a full "Dragon Might" set, and the Tear of Ashi also dropped).

It was amusing: I played the lottery and won two battles with the Thunderstorm artifact. I don't think that's ever happened to anyone else :D

Great map, I enjoyed playing it for about five hours. I lost on the third week with my hero, resurrected, found the Ring of the Initiate, got some machines and a siege weapon, and on the third or fourth week, with 25 attack, I started auto-battling. I defeated the arena champion in the usual way and opened the lottery. I don't know how, but after some manipulations, I saw two champions. Just for fun, I killed one on the altar and, with the champion with Angel Wings, I took everything I could. Universal Evil was quite enjoyable; I loaded it five times to defeat the knights and skeletons. I broke a couple of scripts with the wings, but overall, it was excellent. Thanks for your work!

A high-level map, comparable to the original campaigns. I played through it as a Warrior because it's very difficult with a Hero. If you don't read the readme file, you can wander around the map aimlessly for a long time. By the way, the yellow garrison defeated the enemy on its own, without finding the club and shield of the ogre. Where are they?

what the **** is this red tent? I played 5 times, got some rewards, and then game over with a victory? **wtf** author?

The club is on the starting location near the castle, and the shield is obtained by completing the mentor's quest.

If you're talking about the added lottery and whether participating in it causes any negativity, you can simply choose not to play it; it doesn't affect the gameplay in any way.

the lottery is essentially a win-win, except for the game suddenly ending (((...any artifact is worth more than 1000 gold).

I agree, the lottery (like many other things) could be reworked and made more balanced, but at that time, as I already wrote, it was just a "test run" and an attempt to create a captivating adventure, even if it was unbalanced in places. In my opinion, this format is perfectly acceptable (except for certain bugs, of course).

I really liked the scenario! Completed it as a Hero. My deepest gratitude and thanks to the author.

What I liked:

Plot: there are clear and understandable goals and objectives, but at the same time, there are unexpected plot twists: the appearance of Nicholas, the search for the mountain shaman, the search for the dwarven hammer, etc.

Design and Presentation: The design is in the spirit of orcs, truly epic. There are several cutscenes in the scenario. This allows for a better understanding of the plot and creates an atmosphere

Dialogues, Quests. Some quests are difficult to complete, for example: finding the abandoned mine that transports you to the dwarven dungeon. There are quests where you need to use your wits — find the shaman in the mountains, find 2 main orc artifacts, defeat the champion at the Tournaments, etc.

Difficulty. The scenario is quite difficult, especially at the beginning; it's possible you won't be able to complete it on your first try.
Just in case, I am posting saves.

Unpredictability. Many unexpected surprises await you. The enemies here are strong; to defeat some of them, you need to act intelligently and unconventionally

Epicness. As you progress through the Walkthrough, you can't help but sympathize with the main character — you just want to play as him.

Comments and Suggestions:
The win-win lottery is overkill. It's a cheat that makes the game too easy, and then it simply becomes uninteresting to play. It would be better to remove it.
