Downloaded the "game world navigator" map, version 1.0, from the demo disc.
Started a new game on Hard difficulty. At the beginning, some creatures joined me, and I started slowly taking over mines. Then, a computer-controlled hero appeared, and it said "No chance" on him. There really was no chance of defeating him ((.
Started on Normal difficulty. Besides the creatures that joined me at the beginning, I found liches in the castle (there were no creatures in the castle on Hard difficulty!). With them, things became much more fun. I defeated the Underworld faction, struggled a bit, but managed to defeat the beastmen with thousands of dragons and phoenixes (without any losses :). Then I faced a choice: who to defeat – the Human or the Mage. I decided to defeat the Human because the Mage sent reinforcements in the form of troops at the very beginning, when I really needed them. And it's not right to change the terms of the contract during the quest.
I defeated the Human, and... that's it ((. The game stalled. Osama is running around my territory, and I can't get past the Green fort – there's no keymaster anywhere. There's no key for the Blue fort either, but I got the key for the Red fort twice – once in the Dungeon, in the keymaster's tent, and once from a pirate on the lighthouse in exchange for a staff. I can't open the Red fort because the Blue fort blocks the way to it, it seems. The fort is located in a strange way; it needs a Blue key from the outside and a Red key from the inside. I think they managed to cram two forts into one cell – the Red and the Blue, and they don't quite match, so you can see the walls of different forts from different sides.
In general, the game stalled, so I went online, found this page, and started downloading version 1.2.
P.S. And one more thing. I think that the Tear of Ascha can only be dug up at the end of the game, after defeating the Human/Mage. Who needs it after that? Ascha is needed at the beginning or in the middle of the game; it's useless at the end...
