Muslimanen, the three maps are connected by a storyline, but it doesn't make sense to combine them into one campaign, as they have different main heroes. I've left the links; those who want to can find them. There's also a note in my signature indicating that these are all part of the same story.

I decided to try this map as well, and I'm playing as a hero, but it all seems too easy.
I spent one evening playing, and within the first month, I captured both Demon cities (defeated the red hero) and cleared the outpost blocking the path upwards (I really enjoyed this battle; here's the replay).
After capturing the Demon cities, the problem with ore disappeared because these cities have marketplaces, and resources can be easily exchanged.
We'll see what happens next; by the way, I was developing not the main hero, but a hired Sanitarian.

Rambo1969, demon cities must be destroyed. What happened after you captured both cities?

I was told that the "red guy had a meltdown" :smile42: and is now "out of the game," and both cities are serving me well, one is developed to the maximum, and the other is almost to the maximum, generating income and functioning like marketplaces; I can recruit creatures, but I don't need them :rolleyes:. I'm attaching a screenshot where everything is clearly visible.

By the way, I've progressed a bit further now, and I really liked the outpost of Hell Angels and Superdemons; :smile20: I had to leave two Twilight Witches there, as well as in the battle with the Banshee for the Cloak of Shadows.

Day 40, I'm going to try to eliminate the free Sacchlopods now.

I quickly and uninterestingly defeated Sachklop and his retinue without any losses, freeing 11 black dragons (although they aren't very useful to me – I'm developing red dragons). But it's completely unclear what to do next – it's impossible to attack the dwarves, and everything else has already been captured:smile50:. It's sad, but it seems I've outsmarted myself:smile32: – the map can't be played any further.

Yes, the script malfunctioned. The cities should have been destroyed, and a passage behind the garrison should have opened.

It's a shame that it turned out so badly; maybe the problem is that I defeated the red Necromancer with a secondary hero instead of the main one. Perhaps I'll try replaying it sometime, but replaying from the very beginning right now feels like too much effort, and the last save is right after the victory over the demons.

Oh my god! :smile51: It looks like it failed again :smile32: This script didn't work again! :smile35:
I was playing on the "hero" difficulty level, of course. I think I did everything right – I developed Tengiz to level 20.
He fought in almost all battles, and I captured all the mines, although I didn't take the neutral castle yet, but that's not required by the game.
On day 19, I broke through the northeastern defense and captured the enemy castle.
But it didn't get destroyed; it's still working!:eek:
I'm attaching a screenshot taken right after capturing the castle to confirm what I'm saying!
My question to the author – dear sir, please tell me, is it worth trying to play further, or is this a dead end? :confused:

With the author's permission, I'll venture a guess that you have version 3.0 of the game, not 3.1...

On day 21, I took a second red castle (the red player was eliminated), but... the orange player didn't become active – I'm ending the game because further development of events is pointless.

With the author's permission, I'll make a guess that you have version 3.0 of the game, not 3.1...

Thank you for the advice, but unfortunately, your guess is incorrect:

I re-downloaded version 1.1, installed it, and everything seems to be working fine:

Although, I take it back, not everything is fine: the difficulty level is not being detected correctly. But this is more likely a problem with the specific game installation. I can suggest that you reinstall the game and/or remove all third-party maps and mods.

Let me share a couple of my maps with you so you can test them.

You don't have the "Defeat the Demons" quest. It seems the script wasn't working from the start.

I think your scripts aren't working at certain difficulty levels. Just to remind you, in your 3rd map, the script didn't work for me at the "Recruit" difficulty level. Here, it's "Hero." I think it won't work at "Recruit" here either.
