Yes, it seems like a bishop. There are also dialogues with him there.
There’s a crypt right in front of the bishop. Is that normal?

The map files are conflicting with the mod files; generally, this is strange, as all maps that don't require an .exe file run on the same game.
Either the file system in the game isn't very well-made, or Astral has touched something very important in the map – perhaps UIGameRoot, or Creatures.xdb, or Artifacts.xdb.
Astral, confess!

Okay, I've reached the green area, so I'll give you my feedback. First, I played through the blue area. Miv appears with a large army. I managed to defeat her, but it was a tough fight. I delivered the tome of power to the thieves, and Rutger showed up. Again, I won, but it was a close call. I had almost no army left. And then this druid appeared! There's no way to win with such a small army. I got tired of it and escaped through a portal to the town. I'm taking a break for now. My first impression: the map is either a masterpiece or very good. The Dungeon is definitely more interesting. There are too many enemies and armies at the top. The portal to the town is pure cheating. There's also a problem with building an army. I'm struggling to decide whether to recruit my own units, faceless ones, or dark units. I need more dragons. For completing the upper part. And honestly, Yorgen's help is almost useless. He could at least give me a hundred puppeteers or something like that. It's too difficult at the top. That's all for now.

It looks like someone isn't deleting maps after completing them. These are the stats of the boss from my last map; it would be best to delete it or move it to another location before playing other games.

Thank you and Astralu for your attention. I was racking my brains myself. If Gerter had written then what the rules were, I think we would have solved the problem, but I hope he will want to complete it on his EWA himself. Still, I managed to complete the two previous ones; in this one, I even made it to the appearance of the second Guardian in the dungeon. Then it became simply impossible to load a save (none worked). The map started out tough. I like that – I'm very disappointed.

I didn't do anything special with the Vampire Princes. Look for the reason in your maps folder)

Well, I got to the green area, and I will report back. First, I ran through the blue one. Miv appeared with a large army. Well, I defeated her. With difficulty. Gave the tome of power to the thieves; Rutger showed up. Well, I defeated him, barely. No army left at all. And then that druid! There is no way you can have enough armies for that. It was exhausting. I fled through a portal into the city. I stopped here for now. My first impression: if the map isn't a masterpiece, it's still very good. The Dungeon is definitely more interesting. There are too many enemies and armies on top. The portal to the city is pure cheating. Also, there’s something wrong with recruiting an army. I broke my head trying to figure out whether to take my own units or Faceless Ones, or Dark creatures. Dragons are needed. More dragons are needed for completing the upper part. And honestly, Jorgens help doesn't really amount to much. He could give me a hundred Puppet Masters, or something like that. Otherwise, it's tough in the upper part. That's all for now.
You're practically trying to destroy everything alive on the map) This isn't so easy)
Jorgen's help primarily consists of being able to recruit Faceless units. And the passive reward for the quest depends on the difficulty.
But, to be fair, comrade Gerter moved on to the second stage of the map with only 1 Minotaur-Guardian, while the AI's army growth rate was higher at that time XD

In the maps folder, there is only one map. The Mods folder is also empty. Perhaps I left something in the data folder and don't remember.

I played for five weeks and then quit; I got bored. I remember playing other maps by this author and enjoying them, but this one is different. In my opinion, it's some kind of quest-based adventure game disguised as the fifth installment of Heroes of Might and Magic. However, to each their own.

He probably tested it without Eva, on a clean version.
He actually adapted the map, removing the conflict with NCF. But that was for the beta. Don't ask for it: it's buggy and unbalanced.

Greetings, I haven't finished it yet, but I've run around a bit, and I wanted to ask — I've hit a dead end, Victor comes and carries me out feet first...
What am I doing wrong? I take too long to get to the surface — as soon as I got the castle, I cleared everything and headed up...
Or should I instead stay underground longer and only then go up...?
Everything seemed to be going well, with all those errands, I left the bishop in the dust, and then bam... and I just can't pull it off...?
And either I don't get it, or the skis just won't slide — I have a resurrection scroll, but it won't heal more than 150 HP. I know I don't have Light magic, but Raelag's Cold magic is 30+ I think... (month 4, week 4)
Give me some advice....
Though, thinking about it a bit, I think I'll find a solution)

It seems you don't have to kill Vittorio. Alternatively, you can stay in the Castle, spend about three months gathering troops, and then proceed.

I don't think so. At around the same time, Vitorrio managed to win on the test maps with a default build consisting of a Chaos character, a Dark Priest, and a Battle Mage. But subsequent enemies are not vulnerable to Chaos, so it's better to think in advance about switching to Darkness/Summoning on the Mentor before facing Yorgh. In my playthrough, Wisdom worked well – there's a guaranteed Tome of Power on the map, and with this combination, I was able to learn Shapeshift, Berserk, and Hive without the corresponding skill, which I used in the later stages.
