There are some comments: antimagic on everyone except cyclops is overpowered, especially if applied at a skilled level, so the question is – at what level is antimagic applied? Also, why not make the background of the character icons transparent? I think it would fit the style of the game better.

That's because the screenshot says "One of the squads." Is this information outdated, or did the questioner and the author misunderstand each other? If it's like in the screenshot, then it doesn't look like an overpowered unit, quite the opposite.

New Rupert won't last long on this map; it puts the player at a disadvantage. No need to consult an oracle; just think about it for a moment. Horses appear in the Human Castle towards the end of the second week, so GG will have to deal with the first wave of attackers without any bonus. There are always significantly more besiegers than there are troops in the castle, and only an adventurer would dare engage in hand-to-hand combat – horses still aren’t helpful. Given the constantly deteriorating state of the castle and capital, finding money to train horse units is extremely problematic. Therefore, even by the end of the game, Rupert won't have a large, capable unit to confront the main opponents. And neutral creatures can be dispersed by any hero, especially since there's no fear of losing him and suffering a defeat.
Astrid also won't improve her situation by losing the ability to create Phantom Titans. I haven't seen many posts in the thread about her previous carefree life.
Urkrass's ability to cast random antimagic on one unit won't provide any advantages. Precisely because it affects only one unit, and that unit is chosen randomly. The Barbarians have very important combat units as well as mere cannon fodder. The AI casts spells on those stacks that are dangerous, and if antimagic doesn't work on them (which is likely), there's no point in bothering with this new hero. I definitely prefer to take Haggeesh rather than this scarecrow, because the bonus for her is significant and reliable.
Some dubious innovations.

I watched how the archers behave under Rupert's command. It's very peculiar; I can't say I liked it. At the beginning of the battle, they always end up at the very end of the initiative order, with an initiative of 18, they move after Hydras or Zombies. In the next round, the archers enter machine-gun mode. 4 stacks of demonic horses against one stack of Rupert's red archers could only make one move.
The fact that the archers fall behind at the start negatively affects skirmishes with other archers or mages: the opponent kills them as much as possible in the first round. In battles with heroes, there's nothing good about it – they are targeted, and the entire enemy army casts spells on them; then, with the remnants, you can try to strike back. The "berserk" placed on the first turn cannot be removed, and on the second turn, no one can intercept the archers.

Taking damage before the archers’ turn is normal for humans.

dividing the archers into 2 stacks.

if you equip them with artifacts that increase initiative.

Hello, first of all, thank you for the map. I was very intrigued to learn that the map was created by the author of my favorite campaigns. Thank you for those as well.
I decided to play as the Temple, and everything was going well until I tried to attack enemy heroes. For some unknown reason, when attacking heroes or a crypt (I didn't have time to try other banks), the Fire Wall spell doesn't cast, and the battle just freezes. I decided to play as the Elf for now, but I would like to play as the Temple as well. I hope you will fix this bug or point it out to me.

Addition. Immediately after the message, I thought, restarted the map, and attacked the crypt again. This time it worked. And in the next four times as well. Once, however, the Fire Wall missed because it prefers to hit the last line, and if the creatures are on the second-to-last line, they successfully dodge it. After that, I decided to fight various different units. I suspect that the wall doesn't want to cast if the enemy occupies at least 16 cells (i.e., 4 large creatures, for example), because each time the battle froze in this case. However, the first time I attacked the crypt, there were 30 skeletons and 15 zombies, a total of 2 cells, and I also attacked a Necromancer with 3 squads of skeletons, zombies, and ghosts. I'm at a loss, in general.
