Walkthrough of the "Gardholm" scenario (hero difficulty): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFisNDWYPtU

Excellent! It would be great to have a map version for the Dwarves.

completed it with a hero. The map is interesting, but easy. It will be more challenging if you prohibit vampirism for mages in treasure rooms; otherwise, everything can be completed with griffons alone.

I liked the map.

90% of the map can be cleared using vampirism. This map is good for those who want a longer and more extensive battle.

When there's nothing else to play, I replayed this map. To the author: having only two mana wells on the map (one at the top and one at the bottom) is not very good.
P.S. I tried that...
Don't attack the treasure rooms of the mages until you have fully developed your Necropolis faction (with the Imp and Vampirism skills). Don't sell or dismantle the Boots of Open Path at the altar, or you won't be able to proceed. And about the map... it's long and interesting, but the enemies are static (they wait for you and don't move).
Thank you to the author for the game.

A very good scenario. 9 out of 10.
The map design was a pleasant surprise. Everything is done at the highest level, the map is beautiful.
I liked that you can play at a leisurely pace. The AI players don't interfere, and you can calmly explore the entire map because I like to explore the map thoroughly to make sure I don't miss anything.
There were no difficulties in completing the scenario; I played as a hero. I was a little confused by the group of dwarves on the bridge because they were quite strong for the beginning of the game, and time was running out. And then I also had to save some strength to capture the castle, but it turned out not to be difficult. The castle was a major threat to me, but I won with almost no losses.
The map is great. It's exactly what I like! 🥰

Very good map. The concept and design are excellent. It's a bit too easy, though. I completed it with a hero. It's not necessary to develop Dark Magic skills or use vampirism. Everything can be completed without any problems.

Don't attack the treasure chambers of mages until you've fully developed your Necropolis faction (with skills like Subjugation and Vampirism).

I don't understand the advice. If a spell is obtained in a dungeon, treasure chamber, or pyramid, it will appear in the spellbook as soon as the hero reaches the level required for that spell. So, you can attack them at any time.

If you take the Boots of the Open Road before you reach the travelers, you won't be able to give them the artifact.

I can't progress any further now.

I didn't understand the advice. If a spell is obtained in a dungeon, treasure chamber, or pyramid, it will appear in the spellbook as soon as the hero levels up to the required level. So you can clear these locations at any time.

I've never noticed this.

Check it – make sure.

That's absolutely correct; you shouldn't doubt it.

You are absolutely right, there's no need to doubt.

The thing is, I don't doubt it anymore, especially since so many people are saying the same thing. But the fact is that back in the day, when I was just starting to play this game, I managed to clear a treasure chamber and realized that I didn't have enough skill level for the castle I received. Since then, I've always visited these treasure chambers and other gatherings of monsters only after I've reached a sufficient skill level. I'm serious... that's how I've always played.
