I don't understand why reinforcements couldn't be implemented as caravans appearing from the same point if it's free, and why various small monsters periodically appear. They don't pose a problem for the main heroes, but they slow down the companions and caravans.

and they slow down the companions and caravans.

I don't think this adds any enjoyment or complexity; it just causes frustration. But that's just my subjective opinion, and others may feel differently.

Is there any way to make this map with one Castle per Faction and one hero, so you can leisurely explore while enjoying a glass of beer, and develop at a relaxed pace, instead of rushing around like crazy, because otherwise you won't be able to keep up?)) Well, is that even possible?

Here is my report for the 4th week of the game.
3 Citadels, 1 Castle. In all of them, I built Witches, and in two, I upgraded them. No Lizards or Hydras. Ilia captured a mine and stayed in the Castle for a long time because her army, consisting only of Minotaurs, was constantly taking losses. All visible and accessible mines have been captured. There is a severe shortage of wood (but plenty of ore). I think that at the start, it would be a good idea to build Markets in all cities.
In Raileg's territory, a level 1 spell is guarded by a large number of Griffins – currently, the danger level is medium. For comparison: the undead army guarding the Staff of the Underworld has a medium danger level. That's strange.
Heroes are levels 21, 22, 21, and 24. I would like to know if there is a Mentor? For now, the armies on the portals have no chance.
I forgot to mention: week 2 was plagued by diseases, and week 3 had festivals (what bad luck).

If it weren't for the markets, this wouldn't be happening. And with the Rogues, isn't this a mistake? The other Tier 1 heroes guard reasonable armies.

In my opinion, the conditions for Ilia are too difficult. She is the weakest of them, and the army guarding the sulfur mine can be defeated, but with noticeable losses, and where are the reinforcements? She had tougher challenges before. But with Railegh, everything is balanced – a strong mage with a ring can pass with a minimum army.
Also, I don't know what the final goal should be. Is the priority the specificity of the upgrade or the amount of troops?

Maybe give Ilia the Ice Bolt spell so that she can at least compensate with elemental damage.

It would be good to swap the positions of Ilia's and Railegh's castles in the list, or the heroes themselves, if each is in charge of their own castle; it would be easier to navigate and see what to build. Perhaps the game allows this, but I just don't know how to do it.

If the artifacts aren't random, then it's unclear why Tralsay has two four-leaf clovers and two strength amulets.
