This scenario turned out to be the easiest for me. Why is that? Because in the previous maps, opponents started attacking early and generally made life difficult. There's none of that here; you can develop peacefully. Of course, there will still be attacks, but much later, and you have time to prepare for them.
So, I started developing in Chaos right away. And I played the whole game through Chaos, as the game itself lends itself to playing that way. First, the hero accumulates a lot of spells; second, there's a Chaos booster in the city; and third, not only does the hero have time to accumulate many spells, but there are also units that add even more spells, doubling their effect! It's just incredibly overpowered; the damage becomes insane!
With the Gnome, I quickly cleared out the underground and encountered the Dark Elf early on. I didn't expect to meet him there and took him out immediately, even before capturing the second city. On the other hand, when the Necromancer appeared, old Johnny started developing him in Machines, Darkness, and Summoning. And he didn't rush to the city right away but started clearing out the surrounding areas and then went up, where he encountered an opponent. And he took him out too. And only then did he capture the lower city. When I finished everything in the underground, I went upstairs, and there Kolger and Lorik (greetings from the first part) were hanging out. I took them out; there were no problems with them, even considering that reinforcements arrived.
But then the easy part ended. A very difficult part of the scenario began. Now, the Knights started attacking every ten days, and each time there were more of them, and in the end, there were some completely abnormal, just inadequate angels. I still don't understand why one of the heroes has an anime avatar. I don't get the joke. I cleared everything I could on the map, but I couldn't handle the mysterious woman; it's impossible to defeat her. I'd like to know what will happen if I somehow manage to defeat her?
Now, about the new Faction, I liked it. The units have pretty good models, and the abilities are also good. Only the level 4, tier 2 units, the possessed or whatever they're called, have a bug; they can't summon reinforcements for some reason. But everything else is fine. I also didn't understand Nix's complaints and whining about this Faction, that they are weak and all that. They mentioned at the beginning of the game that they are weak in melee combat. Their strength lies in magic and summoning! I played carefully, and no one wiped out any of my units. You just have to know how to play.
After that, I tried running the first campaign for fun, playing as Humans. And there, in the video, they were glitching because of the new units; it was funny to watch. After that, instead of Isabel, there was Ellisara; I took a look at her and read the description.
Overall, I liked this scenario too, especially the idea that you don't just go around killing everyone, i.e., you attack; here, you have to defend instead. But it's still sad that we lost in the end, as if all my efforts were in vain. And here's another question: when is the sequel planned?
