I tried playing, but got stuck on the second mission. I don't have the patience to keep trying for good starting conditions like Remix does, and replaying battles 10 times. Okay, I tried playing as a "Warrior" - I didn't see any difference in the initial setup. Playing with cheats is completely absurd.
Therefore, in my opinion, your creations, Andrey, are undoubtedly very good, but they are aimed at a very limited audience - you could say, "professional" players. As far as I know, there are many ways to provide for the difficulty of the initial setup to depend on the game level. If you do this, I think the number of people playing your maps/scenarios will increase dramatically.
Good luck with your undoubtedly useful and great work in mapmaking!

Anyway, I'm giving it a thumbs up!
There are very few people who create maps for Heroes 5, and even fewer who create Campaigns.

For now, I can say this: I didn't complete the first mission xD.
I basically lost almost all my archers fighting various Jarls/Arcan priests, and during the siege of the city, the remaining 30 were quickly finished off by towers and Jarls using their ability.

The most important thing I lacked in this mission was either having machines available from the start (tent and cart) or a machine depot to buy them. The tent would have helped me recover from losses, and the cart would have prevented me from losing the ability to shoot, which is what happened (((

In general, here's my feedback: "there needs to be a way to acquire machines in the first mission."
(my build, yes, yes, skilled machines with a tent, but without the tent, but who knew you couldn't get it?)


I'll try again later...
Or maybe you'll take the machine issue into account and release an updated version of the first mission in the future. Then I can try it again with more comfortable conditions =)

And what did you use to attack? The Academy or demons?

The bug in the fifth mission can be avoided.

To avoid such mistakes in the next campaigns, I think I'll resort to the now-forgotten help of testers (if any can be found).

And the shamanic ritual with restarting the game didn't work for me either; the heroes didn't appear in the tavern.

Wow, that was fast! I haven't even posted it anywhere yet.

Well, I wanted to say that I managed to complete the first mission on "Veteran" difficulty.
But I completely failed the second one; the AI just crushed me. I'm playing with this AI:


In general, I can say that I really enjoyed the first mission.
But I honestly didn't like the starting conditions of the second mission at all. There's a huge shortage of ore =)
The starting location is quite poor for PvE content (neutrals).

To be fair, what I'm experiencing is different from the author's intended "balance" because Armageddon's Blade has its own significant and not-so-significant nuances.
I think on the snowy map, wolves guard the arena =). But I have Paoka, due to the makeshift method of adding blood for Tier 6 creatures of the Horde.
And in the second mission, Minotaurs guarded Inferno, but for me, they are not Tier 3 creatures, but Tier 5, like in Heroes 3. So, it's a bit more challenging =)

In general, I'll try to beat it (the second mission)... probably already as a Warrior, because on Veteran, the AI just overwhelmed me through the garrison xD

To be honest, the 2nd mission is the most difficult. The AI is already tough, and with the mod, it's even more challenging. It's good that the campaign even works with the Heroes 5 Armageddon's Blade mod.

Well, there's nothing surprising about it.
The mod doesn't have any scripts, except for the modified .Exe file from Deflaktor, so the mod is basically the same as the vanilla version, except for the content, which is much more extensive.

Today, Defender flagged this when I was downloading the new version of the campaign...

Okay, I specifically re-checked with an antivirus, and the problem lies in the .exe file. Without it, the antivirus reports that the file is clean. I checked both online and with Avast. Therefore, I'm now checking my computer for their presence (just in case), and if everything is fine, I'll re-upload it with manual installation.

UPD: Now I'm 100% sure that the problem is in the .exe file. I've checked everything three times, and there are no viruses. However, I will replace this installation method with a manual one.

The most interesting thing is that the antivirus complains about the self-extracting archive created through WinRAR, but doesn't react to the same archive, only made through 7-zip. Therefore, all the complaints from antiviruses are most likely unfounded.
