Description:

Planet Eragelion, year 3664 CE. Five thousand years have passed since seven light mages saved the planet from a terrible sorcerer who swore to return one day. Back then, the mages created planetary seals — a barrier intended to prevent this.

Tristan, the illegitimate son of a knight and a peasant woman, has a nightmare. In this dream, some entity from space destroys the planet. Searching for answers, he finds a clairvoyant who is tormented by the same vision. They conclude that they have seen future events, and Tristan intends to change the course of history. The seals stand in the way; they not only shield the planet from external threats but also prevent anyone from leaving it. Now they must be destroyed, but there is one nuance: even the greatest warriors of the past considered attacking the seals a suicide mission...

I have been working on this project since early 2022. The plan was to squeeze absolutely everything out of the combat in Heroes IV, so it is easy to guess that the map's difficulty borders on impossible. I tried to distance myself from various clichés, but in the end, the battles still become formulaic in some sense. Here I am powerless; the game itself, as you know, is far from perfect balance. I planned to make a campaign, but now I am not even sure it's worth it, as there is a high probability that it will be the same thing, but stretched not over 30 hours, but 100. Few are likely to appreciate such a twist.
UPD from 8.1.2024: there will be campaigns; they will include an easy mode for those who do not want to sweat over every battle.
UPD from 7.3.2026: the campaign is out, see the similar topic in the corresponding section.
Nevertheless, what is here is worthy of attention. It is at least 30 hours of gameplay, more than 200 difficult battles, 70 pages of plot, 4 unique portraits, and an original setting and characters.

I took a look at the Eraghelion Chronicles. I didn't read it carefully because I was at work. The work done is visible. It made me think about downloading Heroes again.
I wonder why VK was chosen as the platform? What other options were there? Are there any advantages over others?

I reviewed the Eraghelion chronicles. I didn't read them in detail because I was at work. It's clear that a lot of work has been done. It even made me think about downloading Heroes again.
I'm curious, why did you choose VK as the platform? What other options were there? Are there any advantages over other platforms?

Thank you. I didn't really consider other options, primarily because I already had a group, and posting all my creations there was the most logical thing to do.
Besides, I don't think these articles deserve to be published on any specialized platforms. Maybe when I'm more confident in my skills.

Today, the full version of the campaign was released, so there is no point in downloading the first scenario separately, especially the outdated version.
