Excellent map. Very beautiful landscapes. I completed it on Hero difficulty in 48 days. Well-balanced for Hero difficulty playthrough. This map was perfect for me because I like when the beginning has a minimum of troops and resources. And here, the beginning is only with 1 unicorn and nothing else. And you can't reach the city. So, I was even a little confused at the beginning. But then I gradually got into it. Thank you, author!

Thank you for the feedback :)

I played the updated version and completed it with a hero in 83 days (surprisingly, I got a Thunderlord). It's a wonderful map; the enemy is strong and aggressive, and you really need to think strategically. Among the drawbacks, I would note the absence of a mentor and the imposed main hero with a blocked "true luck" ability. Recently, the authors have somehow become fond of blocking racial "perks," and I don't understand why. But overall, thank you for the interesting map.

Thank you for your feedback. There is no mentor because I am currently creating maps in the original game's editor. I want to master it fully first, and then move on to the add-on editors with their extra features.

I recently replayed the scenario and made several changes (in the topic header).

Author's walkthrough of the "Valley of Dreams" scenario (version before the latest update) in three parts, on veteran difficulty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9K-io7Auko&t=2s

On the third week, the blue faction destroys the castle. Is this intentional? It didn't work out. I'm afraid I don't have the patience to replay – every battle there is a masterpiece.

On the third week, the blue player destroys the castle. Is this intentional? It didn't work out. I'm afraid I won't have the patience to replay – every battle is a delicate affair.

The enemy breaks through the neutral garrison with paladins sometimes on the third week, sometimes on the fourth, but it is still highly desirable to have Ilfina reach her castle by the middle of the third week. I've played through the scenario twice on veteran difficulty; considering that I play Heroes 5 from time to time and my skill in it is quite mediocre, the map should be passable even on heroic difficulty, as evidenced by the feedback in the thread from those who have played it. I can recommend that you upgrade logistics as soon as possible, and also open the map in the editor and carefully plan Ilfina's route in the valley so that you can get out of it as soon as possible; at the same time, upon reaching level 10, there is an opportunity in the valley to learn how to summon troops from the city and replenish your army with them.
