Scenario Description:
It is the year 981. Inquisitor Dominic, a loyal priest of the Unicorn Empire and servant of Elrath, disappeared in Erathia under mysterious circumstances. Rumor has it that the righteous inquisitor went to the Spider Stronghold at the behest of Archbishop Melchior in search of a certain Tome of Dark Magic, an ancient artifact created by the Faceless Ones themselves...
However, the new head of the Emerald Inquisition - Alaric, formerly an archer-hunter in the forests of the Duchy of the Deer, and now a zealous servant of Elrath, makes no secret of his intention to find the Tome and begins to pursue all those suspected of involvement in Dark Magic.
And as if Fate itself decided to play a cruel joke - Knight Hafaad falls under suspicion…
From the Author: I have finally finished working on this scenario; it was a truly large and my first work. There are very few scripts in it - only 1062 lines, but I hope they will make the scenario interesting. I thank IchGViji, for the thorough testing of the Global Map Update, }{0TT@6bI4 and Azgalor for help with the scripts, psatkha for the Necromancer Hafaad model and all the other people who helped me create the scenario.
The plot of the scenario may seem too simple or, conversely, underdeveloped to you, but in future works I will try to reveal the motives of some of the characters on the map.
The map contains mods; after playing, it should be removed from the Maps folder. For the scenario to work correctly, it is recommended to create a new profile in the game and remove all third-party mods and maps (otherwise, there will be bugs).

Feedback and criticism are welcome. I wish you a pleasant game!

Interesting!

I started playing with a hero and immediately lost to Benedict. It's interesting to see how things play out.

That's strange. I'll take a look and see what might be going on...

I checked it in the editor. It looks very good. I'll play it in the evening and let you know.

That's strange. I'll take a look to see what might be there...

Is this map for NHF or for a clean 3.1 game?!

This is a scenario for the clean version of the game.

If you find any errors, please let me know! This is still just a beta version of the map, so it's far from perfect.

That's strange. I'll take a look and see what might be happening...

Here's the situation. Before I got my turn, all of Benny's units and Benny himself made three moves. On my first turn, I had 0 archers, a damaged cavalry unit, and seven knights. He finishes off the cavalry unit while I move my swordsman towards his swordsmen, killing his green cavalry unit with the hero, and then he finishes off the knights. There's no strategy you can use here. Maybe he randomly got three turns, and I got zero? Does that happen?

The point is this: before it was my turn, all of Benedict's units and he himself made three moves. On my first turn, I had 0 archers, a damaged knight, and seven knights. He finishes off the knight while I move my swordsman towards his swordsmen, killing his green knight with the hero, and then finishes off the knights. There's no tactic you can come up with here. Maybe he just happened to get three turns, and I got zero? Does that happen?

Isn't the plague applied to all of Benedict's units? When testing the map, they all died within a few turns.

The plague was applied, but my units died first. I'll try again now.

I lost again. The reason: my archers always fail their morale check and never get to move. The plague doesn't affect Benedict's archers and monks because Benedict immediately gives them a blessing. Plus, these two and the ballista constantly get a morale bonus and often move. But that's just on the hero. At what level was the map tested?

Are you taking on Haffad from the Necropolis?!

Are you taking something from Necropolis of Haffad?!

What Necropolis are you talking about? We're talking about the battle with Benedict.

Are you taking something from Necropolis, specifically from Hafaad?

I like the name and the model.

Okay, I changed the starting battle; now Hafaad has -1 morale instead of -10. I'll re-upload the map now. I overdid it with the morale...

Here's what it is...

I liked the name and the model.

T-c-c... just so you know... I'm the author of the visuals for Hafad from the NHF project ;)
P.S. For the future, when you use something from NHF and other mods, take a few minutes and read who the author is!

I read it. I hope you don't mind that I borrowed the model?
