Map description: This is the alpha version of my first map, "Ashan." It needs significant improvements, and to facilitate bug fixing, I am releasing it at this early stage. I am interested in your opinion about this map. At this stage, I am interested in the following: your opinion on the overall design, your opinion on the map's balance. I am also interested in technical information (in particular, how much RAM the map consumes when launched on your computer).

The idea is simply great :smile54:
I haven't played it yet, but I've looked through it in the editor, and it seems very appealing. The first thing that caught my eye is that the desert looks a bit empty... although it's usually empty anyway :D

Alarm: If anyone knows, please write down the names of the second cities for all the land-based factions, the name of the capital city of Ig-Shayl, Irolan, Harish... If there is one, the name of the main Orc settlement...

Irollan-Shatakva
Igg-Shail-Konos
Herish doesn't have a capital city as such, and it's not a country, but rather a part of the lands of the Griffin Empire and the Silver Cities.

Thank you... I'll try to release a hotfix this evening... Dark Elves and Demons will be made more balanced...

The map has been updated to version 0.4.1.

Mikazan, I took a look at your map in the editor. It's very beautifully made! I especially liked the Dungeon. And the idea is good. Overall, you did a great job!

I'm also interested in the technical information (in particular, how much RAM the map consumes when launched on your computer).

Well, I don't know... To be honest, the top level took about ten minutes to load in the editor. :smile43:

)) Glad you liked the design! Have you seen the future portal exits on the surface? There are still little devils standing around them.

Hello, to be honest, it looks a lot like Europe from the outside.

Indeed. Otherwise, I thought it reminded me of something.

I played as all factions, but I didn't finish it. I'll say the map has a great design. BUT! There's a very long dungeon for the demons with clever logistics; it took me 3-4 days, maybe even more, to get to the dwarves. I've explored all the mines and the second castle for the dwarves, and I'm tired of the map. There aren't enough neutral mobs or garrisons (with armies that protect the territories of different races), and there should be more resources and mines. If you download a mod with new buildings and creatures and browse through all the editor tabs, you can make the map richer. You could add something to the desert, as it's currently empty (although the road is nice), but considering it's an alpha version, the map is good.

What mod adds new creature dwellings, and in which tab should they be located?

I played through the map as a Necromancer. The map is enjoyable, although it's not very fun to play solo – the computer lags and doesn't recruit neutral creatures. Here are some observations: 1) Highlight the Dungeon! In several places, I had to navigate "blindly," clicking the mouse in all directions. 2) When playing as a Necromancer, there's a trick: you take Markel + a hero (I experimented and found Kaspar). As a result, the hero recruits nearby neutral creatures, and Markel recruits the Necromancers guarding mines, etc. Consequently, by the second week, Kaspar could freely go on a "solo adventure" with a decent army, replenishing it only through necromancy :p

if you download a mod for new creature dwellings

Where can I get it? And what does it do?

This mod adds buildings to the editor where you can buy wizards, griffins, etc. (the mod is installed in the data folder).

It says that the archive is corrupted and I can’t extract anything from it.
