I understand you didn't find the second method, right?

No, unfortunately. I can assume that it is somehow related to the prophet's quest.

One hypothesis is that Orlando exited the dungeon and was killed upstairs.

I think there's just a check for the existence of demons - and that's it. And after the check, all the missions are completed, and victory ensues. I can't understand yet why the mission wasn't credited.

Whatever

The tavern shows that there is no one there. The following quests have not been completed: 1) deliver the boots; 2) survive; 3) defeat evil...
I went there and delivered the boots. It doesn't help... One hypothesis is that Orlando left the dungeon and was killed upstairs...
By the way, I have a question for the author: why is there a mage in the prison under good guard? There is no quest for him, he is level 1, and he doesn't have any outstanding (or any) artifacts...:confused:
I don't understand, honestly, what the problem is. The main task is to kill everyone!!!
How many main quests do you have in your quests? The answer might be hidden there.
The mage in the prison is just a distraction;) If you're interested, I'll write to you in a private message later.

vadim_t - try waiting a week - if the map doesn't have a check for the quest "capture any city within a week," then the Demons will definitely be eliminated from the game. Maybe you didn't capture all the cities? There's one of the portals that's three-way - in the Dungeon, there are THREE Demon cities.

I took both castles and rushed after him.

There's also a capital city - through a portal near the southern city.

Hmm, everything was fine for me...

Yes, I forgot to mention that - you need to level up the heroes you rescue from prisons - otherwise, there's no point in freeing them...

If the outcome is very important, you can enter @win() in the console - and you will win.
No, it's just that the map version is 0.9 - I wanted to give the author some information to consider - about how the victory condition is written...

Wow! I thought it was over after reading your 2nd message...
Everything is correct, it's just that the portal, as usual, drops you in different places depending on the weather... Everything is OK, I finished it.

vadim_t, what are your impressions of the map? It's important to know your opinion.

I couldn't manage it, I envy Heroist :( At first, everything was going well. I captured Greystone, cleared the rubble, and rescued Rutgert from the dungeon. I left him to fend off demon attacks and gather archer masters for the fairy, while I went to search for the ghost path. I wandered around, and then the green one appeared. The fat Razak broke through the titans at the gates and rushed towards me. He was stronger than all the yellow infantry combined! Grol and others. I had very little money, and my army wasn't fully equipped. I fought in an open field, but he would have defeated me even in a castle. There was also Hafiz, who was thinner and ran around, capturing mines. I had 7 angels, about 200 zealots, and around 50 inquisitors. He had 33 titans and 9 colossi, over a hundred Kshatriyas, over a hundred battle mages, over 300 steel golems, and more. Every turn, the jerk would either clone titans or Kshatriyas.
Probably not for average minds :smile05: But the map is interesting.

The map is excellent! You wrote that this is your first map, and I almost don't believe it ;). I didn't notice any bugs, there's a good storyline, and the game is captivating:smile13:
The only remark I have is the same as I usually write on this forum regarding new maps: the map is likely too difficult for a weak player. This is confirmed by Irina19's message. As always, I played as the Warrior and thought about what I would do if I encountered this map when I was a beginner in Heroes 5... I think the result would be the same as Irina's:rolleyes:
By the way, my green hero also defeated the Titans on his own, but since my main hero was well-leveled and had a decent army, he got scared and tried to hide behind the green garrison:rolleyes:
So, my advice is this: reduce the number of enemy/neutral troops for the Warrior (to the level where you yourself can complete the map on auto-battle), but leave it as it is for the Hero – due to the terrible lack of resources/money, even playing as the Warrior (I couldn't even buy half of my troops even once), the difficulty will be guaranteed;)
I'm looking forward to your new maps, good luck!

Irina19, thank you for your feedback. In this map, a quick start is important. Large losses at the beginning are compensated by experience and troops. There are friendly, strong units on the map that will gladly join you if you find them. The hero is a knight, but a very fast one. And he has awesome boots :) I think you were being too cautious somewhere and took a little too long, which is why the mages broke through the titans. However... I think I'll make a simplified version of the map so that all players can play it comfortably. Good luck!

vadim_t, I'm glad you completed the map and thank you for your feedback! I'm very glad you liked the map. I will definitely take your comments into account. The possibility of the green player breaking through the titans at the border was included in the scenario, but the calculation was that by that time, Antares would already have the opportunity to fight them. But, as I wrote above, I will make a simplified version of the map. Player comfort comes first :)
P.S. Your positive feedback has given me confidence in creating new interesting maps :smile13: Thank you.
P.P.S. I'm glad you found another way to deal with the demons;)

Is it just me, or was the starting green town completely useless? I played on Veteran difficulty, as usual.

That's strange... Hafiz should definitely not have zero stats. He has decent starting stats. Maybe he ran into a minefield :smile16: :D

Probably your fast gameplay didn't give the enemies a chance to grow stronger)

Both my green and blue heroes were quite active. The green one even came to me with an indecent proposal to surrender, for which he received a one-way ticket :smile16: And the blue one even defeated some dragons. I was even thinking about reinforcing the border guards...

Well, the Necromancer was alright, he was strong enough. But as for the Wizard, I don't know, he didn't quite live up to expectations...

I'd like to add my two cents. I started playing as the Warrior, explored the nearby lands, recruited archers, built a shipyard, sailed down the river, reached Greystone, freed Rutger, cleared the path, killed Giovanni, and captured his town. It was interesting, but then the green mages appeared, and I somehow lost the desire to continue playing. Also, I absolutely can't figure out where to find the Tear. At the moment, Dunk is level 30, and Rutger is level 18. There are many Warriors in the Castles and Outposts, but I have little money, so I can't buy anything. And I'd also like to have a Mentor.

I didn't notice any bugs.

I immediately noticed a bug with Rutger - he was freed by demons, but the quest was still marked as completed for our main hero.
Is Rutger's placement in the Dungeon intentional?
