Title: Obsession
Map name: Oderjimostь
Map type: Single Scenario
Two-level map: yes
Number of players: 3
Size: Small
Map author: Kartoshechka pro
Map description: Once every thousand years, an archdemon arrives in the world of humans to conceive a child capable of breaking the boundaries between two dimensions – a half-human, half-demon. One of these "children" began to hear the voice of his father, Mephisto, urging him to release the demon from the Dungeon of Shio. Now, Riley must make a choice: doom humanity to a terrible war with demons or forever seal the exit from Shio.
From the author: Hello everyone! Yes, this is the same Kartoshechka who created the terrible and buggy map "Champion of the Arena." I hope this map turned out better. In fact, this is another 1500+ lines of script, 101 text descriptions, and a large number of interactive objects.
A story-driven map for the humans. At first glance, it seems banal, but the map has two alternative endings and a more or less decent plot.
The map itself is light, in my opinion. Much simpler than my first map, Champion of the Arena, so I think it won't cause difficulties even for beginner players.
If you want to relax and play without getting too frustrated, destroying all opponents on the first (or at worst, the second) try, the best difficulty level for you will be Veteran.
If you are a green beginner, don't despair – the Warrior difficulty level will allow you to complete this map without difficulty.
The Hero difficulty level will be easy for most players, although there may be some difficulties with the final battles.
Finally, I want to note that on the Recruit difficulty level, the map doesn't make sense. It simply becomes uninteresting due to the too large imbalance of troops against the enemy. All scripts, of course, work, but I repeat, the game will not be meaningful.
If anything, sorry that the map is not entirely lore-friendly, because I played the Campaigns about 10 years ago, and I might have been wrong about something.


Criticism is not welcome. (I don't like being criticized). If you don't like the map, don't play it. But if something is really worth noting, then write, of course.

I'm playing through the map (as a Warrior) and I don't quite understand what to do. I can't get to the church because my army is too weak. I don't know where to get gold; I could only hire 2 paladins. I guess I should have taken the money from the chests, but now I have no gold, no army, and I can't kill anyone. What should I do? I'm thinking of restarting and focusing on getting gold.

I decided to restart. The situation is much better now; I've gathered an army, accumulated gold, and have 1 paladin. I also had a bit of a battle with the demons, and I didn't notice any mistakes.

I just finished it (difficulty: Warrior), and it was actually very interesting, both in terms of progression and the storyline. Mephisto was really hard to defeat; I had to replay it about 6 times, but I finally killed him. The author is great! :smile54: I also didn't notice any bugs, slowdowns, or anything like that. Everything is very cool!

Thank you very much. Positive feedback is always appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the map.

I'm having some trouble. I've explored the entire map, but I haven't found any of the level 9 demon-human groups.
There's only one group of demonesses near the university, and that's it...
There's definitely one bug: the toxic chemists can't be killed; the battle starts, I win, but they remain in place...
The teleporters are a bit annoying with their random placement.

I can't seem to make it work. I've explored the entire map, but I haven't found the 9th group of demon-human fighters. There's just a single group of demonesses near the university, and that's it...
There seems to be one bug for sure: the toxic chemists can't be killed; the battle happens, it's won, but they remain in place...
The teleporters are a bit annoying with their randomness.
Okay, I'll take a look. The last group is in the mountains; use the portals.

Yes, there was indeed an error in the code regarding the alchemists. Thank you, I've fixed it.

Well, I was talking about portals; I finished off a group in the mountains, and it says 8 out of 9...

Two units in the starting location, two near the town, one on the central island, two near the Necropolis (one next to the Necropolis, one on the shore), and two in the mountains.

The final battle has terrible balance; the armies are disproportionate, there are no artifacts left, and stats decrease (meaning there's no point in collecting stats from the map). I don't know how the author managed to complete it; I couldn't. The only dark spell available is from a scroll, but artifacts are taken away in the final battle... In short, I struggled for a long time and gave up. I wish everyone enjoyable gameplay on this version of the game:

The hero's difficulty is insurmountable. The veteran difficulty for the Demons is also too hard. I couldn't beat the final battle. I barely lost any troops (1 Nightmare, 3 Paladins, 4 Cerberuses). (I reached the final level at level 23, and it's possible to reach level 25 if you take the Education skill and get +1 level at level 24) against a level 26 Knight. He has all the cards. He's in the castle, so our ballista is useless. We don't have any artifacts, but he has artifacts that provide protection against magic and boost his stats, and of course, he has artifacts that reduce our luck and defense, while increasing his luck and defense (so our Demons have -2 luck and -3 defense, the Paladins have -5 luck and -3 defense, while the enemy has +2 luck and +3 defense). And without the Paladins, he can destroy us in just two shots. He has a fully upgraded catapult that deals 3 shots + 50 fire damage, which is enough to kill us despite the "Fight to the Last" perk. Fortunately, the enemy hero is constantly busy and casts single-target buffs from the Light magic school. As mentioned above, we don't have any magic (for example, I only have the "Leather" skill, as well as "Bless" and "Chaos," while the enemy has the "Light" perk that provides fire resistance + the "Reflection" perk + "Forgotten Armor"). The only thing that gave me hope of winning this battle was the "Summon Cave Lord" spell, which is why I spent 4 hours trying out different tactics to win. I was looking for a viable build (his 2 archers + ballista are just too much), and I found one (with "Fight to the Last," catapult, attack speed, "Leather" for defense, corpse eating for mana, and "Frost" from Chaos with "Sorcery" for faster casting), but I still couldn't implement it. The game is stuck in a loop, and it always gives me 16 attack, 3 defense, 6 knowledge, and 3 spell power, which isn't enough to summon a Phantom, and without it, the battle is already lost. Of course, I also tried perks that temporarily give mana or increase the mana pool, but it's still not enough. In general, I spent 4 hours on the final battle, used ArtMoney to cheat, and finished it just to get it over with. The idea is interesting.
