Name in game resources: Renunciation
Map type: Single-player
Two-level map: Yes
Game version: 3.1
Number of players: 3
Size: Large

Description: Many years later, Markel returns to Erathia again, but there is no time to dwell on old memories. Under the weight of circumstances, the hero makes a difficult choice, and now he will have to deal with the consequences of his decision.

Awakening of Evil
Invasion from Hell

IMPORTANT. To avoid critical script errors, please do not keep the main character in the castle garrison / on the ship / in the Sanctuary while performing the main quests. It is also undesirable for secondary (heroes) to be there, but it is not critical.

I was already starting to think I wouldn't get to play a new Master map...

Amazing map. The creatures are random, as I understand it? During scouting, I found High Vampires with a sign that said, "Take me, I'll carry everyone." This is a guarantee of an easy start and mid-game. It's a pleasure to play as Markel. But the map is still very challenging; if the neutral creature generation wasn't favorable, the game would have dragged on for a long time, although Darkness and Summoning would have done their job in the finale. The plot is excellent, especially the transitions in control from one side to another.
On a 10-point scale:
Plot: 10/10;
Balance: 10/10; (if you know what the Master did)
Visuals: 9.9/10 – sometimes the animations in the cutscenes don't match the timing (e.g., a vampire attack – 2 seconds – a Lich is killed)
Overall: 10/10.
Thank you for the excellent map.
P.S. I didn't like the ending: it's as if the plot is abruptly cut off, and it's all very confusing. I didn't understand the connection between Markel's escape to the Temple and the battle of the alliance against the demons, in which it's still unclear who will win... Is this to allow for a sequel?

Thank you for your feedback.

Are the creatures random, as I understand? During scouting, higher vampires were found with the label "take me to carry everyone," which is a guarantee of an easy start and mid-game.

Most neutral creatures are random, and undead should not be generated randomly. There are several stacks of undead placed specifically for Markel. Perhaps they should be reduced a bit.

P.S. I didn't like the ending: the plot seems to be cut short, it's completely confusing. I didn't understand the connection between Markel's escape to the temple and the battle of the alliance against the demons, in which it's still unclear who will win... Is this to allow for a sequel?

The plot of the previous parts develops in parallel with the events of the map, leading to the finale.

I also think that it would be good to reduce their number.

Thanks again for the map, the work is done (as always) in a MasteR-like manner!

Was it just an hour? Because you replied really quickly.

No, it's not for an hour. It's for about two days. But I complete scenarios very quickly and in a different way.

Excellent! It's like a breath of fresh air! I'll play it and let you know what I think!

Ah, so you're probably a tester.

No! I'm not a tester. The map from MasteR just appeared... yesterday around midnight.
And it wasn't difficult for me to first write about how I was waiting for the new map from MasteR, and an hour later, write a review.

I played for about a month and a half and failed the traitor mission. I still don't understand how to get to the altar, especially within such a short timeframe (the traitor attack happened about a week after visiting the witch). I looked in the editor, and the altar is on an island, with a portal leading to it, but where is the entrance? And why is this mission given as a secondary one, but failing it leads to a loss? Maybe the main character could have stayed in the castle, but he's dragged out into the open field, so it's a problem. In general, it's a strange situation, although maybe I didn't do something right?

I played for about a month and a half and failed the traitor mission. I still don't understand how to get to the altar, and all within such a short timeframe (the traitor attack happened about a week after visiting the witch). I looked in the editor, the altar is on an island, there's a portal leading to it, but where's the entrance, that's the question. And why is this quest given as a secondary one, but failing it leads to a loss? Maybe the main character could have stayed in the castle, but they drag him into an open field, so it's a problem. In general, it's strange, although maybe I didn't do something right?

It's not necessary to visit the witch; it's just a hint.
There are 3 weeks before the start of the quest itself + about a month to complete it, depending on luck.
Failing the quest doesn't necessarily lead to a loss, but the main character's army will be reduced by at least half. There is only one pair of two-way portals on the map; you just need to find the second entrance. It takes about a week or two to travel from the castle to the altar, if you know where to go.

On the second week, I found a lion's mane cloak. It immediately gives +2 to morale, although what morale does Markel need... Is it really necessary? Considering the quest.

Another question. Can leadership be gained on the map? As a kind of specialization for Markel.

The map is awesome!

Another question. Why use a scroll to summon a ship if the spell is already available in the castle?

1. Artifacts are mostly random on the map.
2. Leadership is available, there are no restrictions. There are several mentors.
3. The scroll is essentially not needed (unless you want to avoid sending the hero back to the Castle if the guild was built late), it's for selling. I forgot to remove it.

I went down and to the right, and ended up on a ship. I sailed, dove into a whirlpool. That's where the portal was. But! All logic pointed in the other direction. I think there should be some kind of veiled hint before the fork in the road. Like, go left, you'll meet a grandmother; go right, prepare a stake. The stake is for the vampire, the grandmother is a joke. But somehow, it needs to be done. Otherwise, half the army will be lost... Anyway, there isn't one!))

I didn't quite understand – what's the penalty for not completing a secondary objective? I didn't complete it, I wandered around the ship (didn't board), a vampire attacked me, and gave me the armor of a forgotten hero. Later, near the castle, a mage appeared through an open portal, but he didn't disappear permanently; it's a pretty good outcome, he gave me excellent armor.

Wow, guests from the portal https://c2n.me/47WiXP2
