P.S. The idea to create a map focused on holding territory was actually inspired by your "Resilience" map :)

I don't like playing on maps where everyone is very slow and the computer takes a long time to think. I don't use mods to improve the AI or anything like that.

You've already hinted at it ;)
And let's use "you" instead of the formal "you," if you don't mind (after all, we're all mapmakers and/or players, and we'll be communicating on the forum for a long time, and I won't be able to resist anyway :)).
I'd also like to make another comment: what about the map design? Will there be any changes in this area?
Because right now, it looks quite simple. Although, in essence, it's not really needed here, but since there are external "rewards," the question is quite relevant.

I also do, and that's why I disable enemy turns with scripts. There was also an idea to create a huge RPG map, but after WoE with its sluggishness, the idea was quickly abandoned.
And also: I would like a few more external objects, but again, this is just my opinion (I still want to be able to explore).

On the contrary, I don't like interfering with the game's structure that was initially proposed (in other words, I don't like modifying the game from the outside). I try to make do with what's available, although in the future, I might, but I don't have much experience in this area yet (basically, I've only made 5 full maps...).

except for small details of the landscape that I paid little attention to: like stumps and the like.

Well, here we have different opinions: what the developers have suggested, we shouldn't dismiss it (there is a script to disable player turns, why shouldn't I use it?).
On the other hand, I don't like it when a map changes the game's checksum (mods that alter the game mechanics, mini-patches). But the AI is so terrible!...

Various enhancements.... Artifacts...

this time, Begghar stopped again near the dwarven castle :(

p.s. I'll have to wait for the beta testing to end; after that, I might try to complete this map again...

P.S. I suppose you encountered a rare case where, due to the effects of the weekly creatures, neutral creatures spawned on the map specifically along the path between the hero and the castle.

Well, if this path (from the entrance to the Castle) wasn't visible to us, then we could assume that; however, the path is clear (nothing was preventing the demons from running around there).

I've attached a screenshot (taken on a map from version 1.5).

checked again, already on the current version 1.5, everything is fine. Try replaying from the beginning.

P.S. The problem can be solved if it exists, but it doesn't.

P.S. The only explanation for why you can't complete the game is that in version 1.2-1.3, the system that controlled the hero's movement was buggy, and in those versions, heroes really did stop wherever they felt like it (not just when heading to the Dwarves, but to other locations as well). Most likely, you started playing on an early version of the map and then continued playing on newer versions, carrying over information from the old version...

How did you get creatures from the Order faction into the Dwarven Castle?

That's a reasonable assumption, but it doesn't reflect reality. I always start a new game (i.e., without using old saves) in all versions of the game. You know, I have the experience of an old tester.

The Knight hero trains monks (20 per week), and the Dwarf hero recruits them (there are two options here: starting from level 15, "Summon Creatures" is used; starting from level 20, "City Portal" is used - and we also get the missing spells).
