what does this have to do with... remove the demons, and they become kittens...

I completed it, I removed the demons with a script. The enemies fell very easily.

Here's a victorious screenshot:

I didn't try very hard to fight the final demons and lost almost everyone. And where is the final message? ;)
==============

I express my great gratitude to the author for the map! I haven't spent this much time on a game in a long time. Everything is very, very interesting, the development is excellent, the only thing is that it's a bit difficult. (I completed it in almost a year).
I wish you good luck in improving the map, and creative success in creating others, I am sure they will be no less remarkable! :smile54: :smile54: :smile54: :smile54: :smile54:

With Necropolis, you'll need money for caravans, but at least you'll have a decent army. The hero has enough dark magic, plus they have more flying units, for sure. (In the end, I only had wyverns left among my flying units, which were stationed near the human city as support.)

It's better to give the Temple city at the very end, or conversely, at the beginning, so that the army can build up for the final assault.

I tried playing as a Warrior: as with the previous map, the level of ambush troops, quest armies, etc., as I understand it, does not depend on the difficulty level. Then, at least, the main hero can be leveled up more on neutral creatures. Everything is fine - after the labyrinth, he reaches level 21 almost immediately, but: the hero's stats clearly do not match his level. For example, defense is 0(!), and the rest are the same... This is the result of removing stats on the Road of the Outcast. So, fighting neutral creatures that have grown during a month of wandering in the labyrinth becomes, to put it mildly, difficult - there are no spells, and randomness rules - no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't create a Mind Lord. As a result, all the efforts to get "Slow" in the labyrinth were in vain. I think the idea of removing stats on the Road of the Outcast is not a good one, or you need to remove them not completely - after all, before the stats are removed, the hero levels up quite well...

Great map! This is the second time I've played such a good map. Lots of quests, interesting ones, and the gameplay is engaging...:smile49:

The neutral creatures don't increase in numbers anymore; they all (or almost all) have a growth limit. They'll stay as they are, so you can safely build up your army and kill them, as there's plenty of everything for that.

Yeah. After spending 2-3 weeks completing quests, the knowledge boost increased from around 50 to 200+, and the number of upgraded trees near the level 2 stronghold increased to around 80+. And it's scary to think how many witches have appeared near the mentor – if there were 500+ of them the first time. And this is on a Warrior, plus random chance rules – no useful skills or spells – I've already opened Utopia twice, and it's all wrong.
But the worst thing is that the quests with the sulfur and mercury mines cannot be completed: apparently, it's just a coincidence: I didn't have 10 mercury at once + I already met the human spy. So, I have to start all over again:mad:

Has anyone else had this problem? I've tested these quests multiple times, and everything was fine. Regarding the Hydras – perhaps I simply overlooked them when fixing this rare exception, but even a thousand Hydras aren't the most terrifying creatures. I definitely fixed the issue with the Witches, as well as most of the other problems. As for the spells, you need to look for them in the Temples; there you'll find everything suitable for all schools of magic. Also, there are free spells in the labyrinth; you can take a detour and explore, and you'll still have time to reach the exit (I added 2-3 extra days specifically for this). And if that's not enough, there are also Mage Guilds where you can obtain spells.

Added 4 minutes later
I also rechecked the script, and no deviations were found. The only reason, as I think, is that you might have killed the Orcs in the mines before reporting to Warok.

I solved the problem simply: I started over, this time as a recruit, and before entering the labyrinth, I achieved everything I wanted in terms of the main character's skills. Fortunately, the battles before stat allocation are easy and allow you to start over as many times as you want. Later, I got lucky - in the nearest Tower to the Orcs, you can - with some luck - get vampirism, after which the game becomes playable. By the way, the quest armies showed an interesting effect on easy difficulty: for example, for the quest vampires: right-clicking shows that there are 35 of them (scouting), the battle starts - the same 75 that were on the warrior:)

Small deviations in the labyrinth to pick up what you need are possible, and I used this. The problem is that, considering the planned strategy, the most important thing is "Slow," and it is located quite far away. So, after taking this spell, you can deviate from the route by a maximum of a couple of steps if a chest or a stat-boosting location appears.

So, I will still try to complete this map to the end.
And, of course, I didn't kill the miners before the report. Perhaps this was related to the scout quest - now I haven't encountered the scout before the report about the mines, and everything was OK. By the way, about the scout - despite the desire to try to get 100 reputation with the Orcs - I couldn't bring myself to put a woman, even an Orc, on the altar. It's just too brutal:D

And some groups of neutral creatures still grow quickly: even on the recruit difficulty, the witch had 150+ on the second month... So, I had to kill about 50+ hunters (even with vampirism) so as not to wait until there were about 1000 of them... Fortunately, on easy difficulty, you can still deal with them at the beginning..

And in general, like your first map, this one is incredibly addictive. I really hope that there will be no things that are impossible for me in the second part of the game:) .
But in any case - thank you for a very interesting map!
