I really liked the map. I played it for 9 days (more than a year of game time). I played on Easy Veteran difficulty with the hero Gotti. It was very interesting to play. Below, I will write my personal opinion about the map.
What did I like?
1. The ability to develop the hero to a very high level (I managed to reach level 35).
2. A large number of additional quests.
3. The battle in the mausoleum (I liked the constantly appearing units).
4. The ability to play the map with any of the 64 heroes, each of whom is unique in his own way.
5. It is impossible to complete the map without making interesting decisions.
6. The computer didn't take up too much of my time.
If you think about it, you can find many more advantages. But I have already named the main ones.
What didn't I like?
1. The map is too long. Although, perhaps this is more of a feature than a disadvantage.
What didn't I understand?
1. In the tavern, I repeatedly saw the rumor: "Trust Andragor completely," and the text on the sign near 240,000 dragons also mentioned him. But where is Andragor, why should I trust him, and how can he really help? I never understood.
2. Where on this map can I learn the Astral Gate spell? Because it is simply impossible to get to some places without this spell.
Now, a little about the walkthrough:
I can talk about the walkthrough for a long time, but I will tell you about the tactics for defeating the dragons and the hero in the mausoleum.
On this map, there is one amazing place called "Cave of Harmony." There, large groups of wolves, manticores, elementals, mummies, phoenixes, and death knights join us. The wolves can be turned into vampires (which I did), and the manticores into undead (but this is less important). Elementals and mummies are almost useless. Death Knights play a key role in my tactics. As you know, they have the ability "Death Strike" (with a 25% chance, they kill half of the creatures in the attacking unit). After breaking through the green outpost and capturing the Order of the Dawn stronghold, we simply build a tavern and hire heroes there. Each of them receives 5 Death Knights from the main hero and divides them into single units. Then, with these heroes, we simply attack the dragons. Even on auto-battle, before their death or retreat, one of the Death Knights manages to strike with "Death Strike." When there are approximately 50,000 dragons left, the heroes somehow stop killing the dragons and, accordingly, only waste Death Knights. At this moment, you need to attack the dragons with the main hero. Before the attack, my Gotti had (approximately) 17,000 skeleton archers, 13,000 higher vampires, 777 (I specifically remember this number) archliches, 2,500 banshees, 4,500 fire elementals, 2,900 death knights, and 1,200 phoenixes. After the battle, I had 60 skeleton archers left (they revived thanks to eternal slavery), all 13,000 vampires (due to their "Drain" ability, even the dragons didn't kill them), and all the phoenixes (I simply didn't put them on the battlefield by mistake). Then, I attacked the mausoleum. After the vampires and skeleton archers were killed, and the "Charm" spell was cast on the phoenixes, I didn't do anything else! I won only thanks to the stupidity of the computer, which constantly cast "Berserk" on the phoenixes. As a result, I lost everyone except the phoenixes (they, by the way, survived completely). Then, a window appeared with the inscription "You have reached your goal!", and this meant that I had completed the mission.
