I'm playing the latest version. The stopper at the sulfur mines remains. Question: How do I gain the trust of the Undead so they will let me pass?

I don't understand. Does Alaric respawn every turn?
Just collect the Necromancer's items as part of the storyline.

As AstralLane mentioned above, collect artifacts; the quest to find them appears after capturing Mythgard.
Alaric, like Valeria, is resurrected after each of his deaths.
What's the point of Alaric's resurrection? Is the idea to keep a hero stationed at his resurrection point constantly? He captures mines and does other things. What's the purpose? The game turns into a chase after Alaric. And then there's Valeria too. Forget it. You're playing calmly, enjoying yourself, and then this running around starts. I almost choked on my beer.
What's the point of Alaric's resurrection? Is it supposed to be that you keep one hero constantly at his resurrection point? He takes over mines and does all sorts of things. What's the purpose? The game turns into a chase after Alaric. And then there's Valeria too. No, thank you. You're playing calmly, enjoying yourself, and then this running around starts. I almost choked on my beer.
In the early stages, he can be a nuisance, but later in the game, he becomes a weak, bothersome hero.
I'll see what can be done to make him more aggressive.
I played both the first and last versions, and I didn't finish either due to a critical bug. When capturing the Demon castle, this happens: all the demons are killed, but Chaos continues to cast Hellwave. Author, what is this nonsense? Overall, the map is interesting, even captivating; I haven't seen such a good one in a long time. The drawbacks are as follows: 1) at the beginning, before a battle, you need to save, otherwise you have to replay (for example, searching for the right artifact or skill in the witch's hut) and, of course, curse the author (why does the author need this?); 2) the idea of low morale is good, but in the first version, it was implemented more effectively, when capturing castles, morale gradually increased; 3) the two respawning blue heroes are complete nonsense (after three weeks of playing, they don't pose a threat); wouldn't it be better to simply make the blue hero more aggressive (so that a regular AI plays as him)? 4) why mask some objects as others (a zombie growth building as a tent, a church as a monastery, etc.), this creates confusion; 5) the academic is too cunning; at the very beginning, he casts a spell like "time warp" and goes three times in a row (this is not good); in my opinion, the AI shouldn't be so powerful and static; it would be better if it were average but active; 6) limiting the hero's development to level 30 is also not good, especially since all the opponents are much stronger. And finally, in my opinion, the map is clearly overloaded with quests and various conditions; if in the first version I completed almost everything and defeated the gnome and the academic, then in the second version I only killed the academic and failed due to a bug with the demon. How to get to other places is completely unclear. The author should have indicated the path to solving the quests, otherwise it turns out: bring this, but where to get it is unknown. And in general, it would be good for the authors to test their maps before uploading them to the site. Best of luck to the author.
The Chaos battle script – damn, I tested it several times, and everything worked perfectly.
The Blue player's heroes and the entire AI – I don't know how to make it "average but aggressive"; Chaos, the Mage, and the Gnome are three mini-bosses, and I don't see the point in weakening them.
I decided to block the Gnome so that the player couldn't capture Icegard until the quest to find the Flame Rune appears.

If you play the battle with Chaos from a save again, it will most likely break even more, and you will win immediately or shortly after killing the real demons of Chaos, skipping most of the summons. There's that trick. I myself encountered this bug and passed it by playing the battle again.
There should be some kind of story behind all this. There's this uber-demon sitting around, and his domains are directly connected to Mythgard. He's called Chaos, very grandly. Who he is, Kha-Beleth knows! He just sits there, essentially preventing you from entering the local library, where a powerful Necromancer has decided to hang out. In another place, a mage, even more powerful, is relaxing. He just lives with a huge army nearby, next to the Empire. As if he's guarding the border. Who he is, why, what's his purpose – who knows about these mages! And finally, there's a dwarf. Redhaven had a powerful dwarf guarding the Rune of Fire; this is his brother, guarding another Rune of Fire. That's it. Also, there are supposedly Necromancers of Erish, but for some reason, they have a demon flag, and the epic description of the Necromancer invasion from the map preview isn't reflected in the story at all. The only one who actually controls cities here is Hafaad.

And also. I'm not Redhaven, and I'm not trying to be like him. I just thought that if there's a Redhaven, there should be a Bluehaven. The dwarf and the Rune of Fire – I think everyone will have the same idea that you need to fight the dwarf for the Rune, because dwarves and runes are absolutely compatible.
No matter how many times I replay the battle against Chaos, the bug is still there. The author clearly overdid it.
And yes, I wanted to make the map as interesting as possible, so that it wouldn't just be a "wow" map, but at least a "good map for a beginner author," and it turned out like this
The bug with Chaos might be related to summoning horses (something similar has occurred before on other maps). Perhaps the summoning should be disabled, especially since 33 horses don't make much of a difference. Another issue has surfaced. To reach the gnomes, you need a "sphere of magic," according to the author, which is given after capturing the blue city of Holyflame. However, you can only capture it by digging up the Ash. And what about the fact that one of the obelisks is located in an inaccessible area of the gnomes? I wouldn't be surprised if the Ash is hidden in some kind of tricky location. Truly, the best is the enemy of the good. Greetings to the author.
