I wouldn't say so...:rolleyes: The map is undoubtedly beautiful, the cutscenes are great, and the humor is excellent. But tell me, why, when playing as the "Warrior," do I feel like I'm playing as the "Hero"? The spells aren't very good, I've only managed to replenish my army once so far, and at the same time, I have to fight very strong armies, replaying almost every battle several times to avoid irreparable losses?
I'm not a "pro" player, although I've been playing since the very first "Heroes" games. But I do have some experience – I'm completing the map at the limit of my abilities. Understand that those who need adrenaline play on impossible difficulty. Those who just want to have fun choose the easy option...
Of course, you can always cheat, but then, in my opinion, the game turns into an absurdity. As a rule, I don't even have the console set up...
So, after a maximum of an hour of playing, the desire to continue playing disappears, at least for a day. And this is a pity, because the plot of your maps is very captivating.

Among those who played through the map, did anyone find it strange that one of the garrisons had 360 archdemons?

Seemed like it:confused:. But I decided that I would deal with them later and jumped into the portal...
By the way, for now, the map looks really acceptable for the "Recruit" difficulty. Somewhere between "Warrior" and "Veteran" on regular maps :D

It's okay) it's not black dragons.

haha, "tried hard"
But skipping things is not good; the map's peculiarity is that the hero can only move forward (almost always)
[

basically, I was developing the hero's combat spirit and luck, that's the priority. Spells are obtained along the way to the Dragon Utopia. + I put on the hero 2 rings of broken spirit (as far as I remember), which I found along the way.

There was only one "path" ring. Utopia standardly gives only the chain lightning. And I didn't level up leadership and luck for the hero. Everything from the beginning?
I discovered another unpleasant thing - beautifully destroying legions of devils near the dolmens of knowledge seems to guarantee a crash of the game:(
I played around with it a bit - the crashes still occur due to zero addressing when activating the dolmens...

I'll keep working on it, you can wait. As for the effects, I don't understand, everything works fine for me.

I used to encounter this error frequently in games, but it only happened to me on Windows XP. I don't know if it's related... As far as I understand, the Meteor Shower spell works normally, so why are there problems with Armageddon? Maybe there are too many effects in one place, and the memory is overflowing? But in some places, there are significantly more of them. Or maybe some files in the game's resources are corrupted or something else. We need to ask knowledgeable people if such problems can be solved when starting a new map, as it seems no one else has encountered this yet.

The second point is that Utopia also grants the Phantom Summon spell. Regarding luck and leadership... Luck is essential for Necromancers; they can't do without it. Leadership also seems preferable to magic. In the previous map, I posted what I believe is the ideal development model for a Necromancer. Speed Aura + Teleport + 2 Necromancer artifacts + decent luck = success!

I'll upload the revised map soon.
