What was wrong with him? The dwarves don't really trust him with their army (at least in my cases). You usually have to chase after him. Helmar is in charge of meeting him. He always attacks within a day's travel from the first castle. Karl has the biggest army.

I measured the distance from the portal to the witch – it's 6-9 days' travel, depending on the logistics (basic – advanced), how you go, and what you pick up. Warrens is waiting by the portal, expecting the castle siege to last 2-3 days. The siege usually starts on days 25-26 out of the 30 allotted. It's extremely unlikely that he will reach the witch faster than the start of the city siege, unless Warrens is rushed (for example, led directly to the teleport, without going into the snowy area), and the siege is delayed until the last moment.
Losing days at the teleport means that, after reaching the main road, Warrens encounters a local "rush hour": all the enemy heroes with large armies hang out there. Again, he is forced to wait; he needs all the movement points to get him far enough onto a side road so that no one intercepts him. You could say, I need to go to the basement for an important reason, urgently, but I keep getting delayed.

I've been interested in it for a while, but I couldn't bring myself to try it. I tried it on Hero difficulty, but it was a disaster. In the dungeon, the local creatures dealt so much damage that continuing the Walkthrough didn't make sense (and besides, there was no resurrection in the castle or at the Alchemist - that's rough). I replayed it on Veteran difficulty and finished it in 160 days. Undoubtedly, it's a "heroic" map, but after completing it, my feelings are, to put it mildly, very mixed, and most importantly, there's no satisfaction. First of all, the randomness in the map is unsettling. For example, when playing on Hero difficulty at the Alchemist, I encountered lower defense and took Berserk and Antimagic (which is important for completing the outpost, etc.). When playing on Veteran difficulty, nothing like that happened, and both castles were without speed boost. When replaying encounters with the Guardian, I accidentally noticed that it's different. For example, entering earlier, I encountered an attack of 34 and a defense of 63; entering later, the attack was 27, and the defense was 50. Strange, is this a bug? Sometimes, it felt like playing a card game where a lot depends on the draw. In my opinion, the author went overboard with the final stage (resources + upgrades). At the same time, it should be noted that the author has a high level of professionalism. In my opinion, this map serves as a kind of indicator of the player's attitude towards the game. Thank you to the author.

What is meant by "Siege Honcrest"?

Do you have version 3.1 of the game?
