So, tell me where I need to make changes, where there is too much or too little, go ahead – I'm waiting for your detailed critique of the map ;)

And I'm writing about the fact that I really wanted to play, but when I opened the file, it said that the file was corrupted... what a disappointment... :smile08:

This is just a perfect map; I've been playing it for 8 hours straight without stopping. It's simply brilliant. The battles do get easier towards the middle, and you hardly need any troops, but that's actually a good thing. For me, this is now the gold standard for RPG maps for all Heroes games. By the way, I was looking for 4 sources of power to open the gate in the lower half of the map. At first, I was confused because there are only 3 sources of power on the right side of the map, but you need to find 4. But it turns out that "source of power" also includes sources of might and those that increase initiative, etc. So, I spent 2 hours in one place, maybe I should add a marker to make it clear which ones need to be visited?
P.S. I finished it. The last hero was very difficult; I had to use hypnosis, shrines, and rebirth. I didn't do two things in the game: where to find the Symbol of Misfortune to open the passage to the portal in the southeast of the map. I have the other two artifacts. And I also didn't clear the passage to the stones for increasing stats at the end because I couldn't figure out how.

And I'm writing about how much I wanted to play, but when I opened the file, it said the file was corrupted... what a disappointment...

In this version of the map, I don't see any teleport displayed. Although, when I attack the Minotaurs (those at the bottom left near the ring), they tell me that there's a teleport located behind the dragons.

So, I wanted to ask – is this a bug or a feature? Should the teleport be there initially, or does something need to be killed/done for it to appear?

Someone above complained that it's difficult to remember all the quests and their descriptions. I do this: Before taking a quest, I create a separate save with a note, for example, "Thieves' Guild" or "Visit four burial sites," etc. When I forget what the quest is about, I simply load the save, take the quest, and read the description. Maybe it will be useful to someone.

The manual for this map was actually very helpful; otherwise, I would have messed up getting the top-tier artifacts a bit in my first playthrough. Because I spent all my money on upgrading the attack and defense of my hero in Glintatown.) I even sold all my resources for that. And when I got to Kaurd, where I could craft armor, I simply didn't have enough resources to craft it.

P.S.
I sailed into a bay on a stretch of the river in the upper right corner of the map, and a message popped up (I don't remember the exact phrase): "Are you looking for a garage?"

I can’t seem to remember where I found the Thunder Hammer in my previous playthrough. In this one, I’ve searched the entire map, and I’m left with only one Netherim from the entire Army of Terror, but I still haven’t found the hammer. I didn’t do the quests for the Haven faction; I did them for the Chaos faction. Maybe that’s the problem.

The Hammer is in the Dungeon, behind the gates of the Sleepless Guard. There, you also need to kill Baron Vagram as part of a quest. The Hammer is guarded by Champions of the Dark and some other minor creatures. The entrance to the Dungeon is located almost opposite the portal to Kagmarr. Maybe it's not very visible; I'll make it more noticeable, although, of course, you can guess from the guards that they are not just guarding resources.

I only have two unresolved issues: I don't understand where to get the Frost Hammer, which, as I understand it, is needed to make the Tiger Helmet and Tiger Armor a Dragon set.

And also, the old woman who blessed me for the battle with the additional boss (who is the strongest) told me that I would be helped in Cauldron and that I should also visit the Generalate. In Cauldron, I was given 50,000 gold. But I couldn't figure out where the Generalate is.

The Frost Hammer is a treasure of the Black Oracle.

The building where you get 50,000 and can recruit generals; when you hover your mouse over it, the name is displayed. To help in the battle, you need to sacrifice members of the clan whose leader you need to defeat. This is a quest where you need to escort a family of Southerners from Kaurd to the other end of the map, to the Veterans' Guild, and along the way, the clan attacks you. If the quest has already been completed, you just need to go to that Veterans' Guild where the quest ended, and you will be given further instructions. The mage's window in Kaurd shows this guild. But all of this is not necessary for the battle with the Mad Dog; you can simply go to him after opening the portal, although, of course, it is hardly possible to kill him without significant forces.

However, the new boss, Mad Dog, proved to be a problem – he defeated my hero; he has a powerful army, I must give him credit. I couldn't defeat him in a quick attack, so I'll have to think about it. In the worst case, I have several armies – obtained through quests – and if necessary, I'll resort to their help. Or I'll re-spec my character and give him a new specialization.
