I just finished the map on Recruit difficulty. I read above that it's very difficult on Recruit. I didn't see any particular difficulties; the enemy heroes didn't stray far from their zones, and I spent 75% of the game building up my army. In the end, I hoped for an epic battle in which I would barely win, but no. I only lost a couple of hundred gremlins due to fire elementals. With mini-artifacts giving +95% to initiative and -5 to his defense, he only attacked once in his entire useless life, moving 3 squares :D
I suggest giving him the "Undead" ability, since he's one-third Herald, so he wouldn't care about the defense penalty, or increase his initiative and speed, or increase his HP by 5 times.
I also found a flaw: in the orcish lands, the prophet asks for 2 artifacts guarded by Helmar and Garuna. However, I had both of these artifacts, even though I didn't fight either of them, because the map has 5 artifact shops (2 near Shaidari, where the undead roamed, and 3 more can be built in academic cities). Either remove the shops from the map altogether, or change the quest so that you have to kill neutral creatures, or capture an orc city, or something else.
I know about the artifacts; I noticed it too. I think I banned them, but then that version of the map broke, and I forgot to add it to the other one.
The undead ability – yes, I'll have to give it to him.
By the way, the same thing happened to me. You just need to ban these artifacts on the map so that they don't appear anywhere else. I collected so many artifacts in the first 3 weeks that it was enough for a full set of equipment for 5 heroes. And something else) I had plenty of gold throughout the game. I didn't know what to do with it. I exchanged it for resources. It would be good to somehow reduce the budget for the sake of interest.
You were lucky with the mentor. Yesterday, I spent 900,000 on logistics.
There are only 4 colors. Red → yellow → green → blue, from blue back to red, etc.

I looked. The boss would be useless without the elementals and the wave of fire. He only attacked once on his own.
Yes, that's what I was counting on.
Anyone can build up an army. It's not difficult for me to give opponents Tears of Asch, but then you'll say that it's "too difficult." ;)
I completed it without an army in 80 days, without turning cities into Academies, without capturing mines, only using some minor upgrades.
I remember that in the campaigns, I also liked to accumulate ten thousand peasants and crush everything.
Thank you for the feedback. I will try to fix the errors, but a little later (I'm sick).
Whatever
