the music that plays in the background while on the adventure map overlaps with the battle music and can only be turned off by adjusting the sound slider (not the music slider) to 0.

Amazing map, I've been playing it for two days now – it's interesting (and the design is beautiful, and the unusual locations keep things from getting boring). "I don't have much experience in mapmaking" – you're definitely fishing for compliments). Manticores are overpowered (especially when they join your army, especially if you're playing as Necropolis and you have a place to recruit them). Scripted artifacts are obtained before the battle (you can take them and run away in the early stages).

What kind of artifacts are acquired?

For example, at the beginning, the Staff of the Underworld, and all similar artifacts in general – at first, you receive a message saying you got an artifact, then there's a battle, and the same goes for the Wood – later, it simply wasn't that important; there was enough strength, and experience was more valuable than the artifact. At the beginning, you take it, run away, and buy it out. Oh, and there are millions of artifacts, record inflation, and later, you even sell them in sets.

I played as the Humans with Vitey as a machine gunner and completed the map in 4 months. In my opinion, this is one of the best maps in recent years; it's a pleasure to play. However, after completing all the tasks (killing everyone and building the Ash), it somehow doesn't end, but that's a minor issue. Thank you very much to the author for the excellent map; I'm looking forward to their new works.

Hmm... how do I get to the Elves (legally, of course)? The entire map is open. The garrison across the river leads to a dead end. I don't see any portals to them. Could it be that a very powerful spell that teleports you to the Elves is linked to some scripted neutral creatures? I suspect that the garrison is placed incorrectly, or I'm missing something.

Something doesn't work on Veteran and Hero difficulty, they overwhelm me.

I replayed as an Elf and messed up. I was looking for "acceleration" and reloaded many times. As a result, I "screwed up royally." A month later, people came to me with an immense army that couldn't possibly exist. In general, I noticed that not only on this map, but also on others, when the "play again" function is repeated many times in the maps, a bug occurs in favor of the enemy. Well, whatever, as they say: "they screw us over, but we get stronger." It's a pity that the corrected version of the map doesn't have the beautiful music it had before. I'll keep trying: I hope that light and darkness will save my hero. Respect and kudos to the author for the great work.
