P.S. I did not translate all creature, hero, and map names because of accuracy, so as not to accidentally translate them differently from the official Russian version (I can't remember all the names). If someone provides a complete correspondence with the Russian names from the official Russian version and posts it below, it would be very helpful. But unfortunately, I don't have time for that.
