I'm confused, please help!
I can't seem to open the southwestern part of the map. There's a road at the bottom, but there are black dragons there, and it's impossible to fight them.
And I also forgot what the vampires wanted. Help, please.

Thank you. I have an older version, but I'd be happy to play through it from the beginning and try the new one! Great map. I really liked it.
I can't find the ring of speed.

I hope you'll like the new one even more. In it, I made all the creature quests optional, and the reward for the hero is not information, but rather army reinforcement + experience. The ring is located in the tomb on the lowest level, where the passage is. To unlock it, you need to perform a series of actions.

No, they shouldn't have disappeared. They don't have the "Open Gate" ability.

Let's start with the bad: In the southern part of the map, the game runs very poorly, especially at the bottom. It seems my computer can't handle that many textures per square meter. I was collecting gold for the buses, and I was collecting. I got tired of it, sold all the resources, went to the dragons, and collected 100k gold (Before that, I ran around for a long time, and they took 20k, 10k at a time). And these bastards took everything, down to the last coin... maybe I had 5k left to give them, but I'll never know...
I have to fight the bosses with an artifact as a weapon, wearing it instead of the Scepter of the Underworld, so I don't have to waste time running around to complete the quest, which is annoying. It would be nice if it were a ring or a relic, but I feel bad about the weapon (-20% to enemy initiative and -1 to speed with a hero's passive skill of 30% minimum - that's something!).
And the worst thing is the lack of towers to change the type of monsters (2 or 3). As a result, there are no archers in the team at all. I had huge problems with the castles, I ran to the beginning of the map to change them to archers, I captured all the castles, but I didn't get 1-2k of the first archers and had 100 mages (there's no room, and they keep giving me reinforcements:(( ) and I wasted time, as a result, I couldn't kill the devil... At least a couple of changes...

That's all the negatives. Judging by your comments, nothing will change in the maps anymore, but maybe someday... As always, a great map, great detail, and interesting content. Thank you very much!

I had to make it so that only one upgrade would be applied, because everyone has different tastes, and it's impossible to tailor it to everyone, so I decided to do it for the 3rd upgrade. Personally, I didn't have any particular problems storming castles without archers; the special ability played its role. But why couldn't I kill the Devil? Was it because the Imps stole all the mana, or was there another reason?
By the way, the Staff of the Underworld should have been given to the altar, and the hero would have been left with only the Scepter of the Underworld – the artifact itself is powerful, +4 to Attack and Magic Power. It probably didn't need to be removed. Thank you for the comment and detailed description.

+4 to Attack and Magic Power is certainly nice, but it doesn't even come close to the Staff. Those 20% provided such a huge advantage, it's incredible. I've been playing the third map with this hero, and this artifact allows him to obliterate almost any army. In one turn, no one can reach you, except for black and green dragons (-1 to speed per turn) and -20% to initiative. We also need to consider the hero's passive ability, plus -40% from Dark Magic and +30% speed buff from the Attack skill. And I was destroying everything that moved...

In general, I was doing well storming castles until I encountered Daleb (I think you remember, but just to clarify, it's a demoness with an explosive ballista)! She simply obliterated me with her ballista. And by the time she came out of the castle and opened the gates for me, 3-4 turns had passed, and I was already out of Miggers and my Lizards were battered. And if I tried to destroy the ballista with magic, the army would go wild (Succubi and jumping demons - I can't even remember their names, level 2 of the Abyss). I could kill her, but I would lose half my army.
As for the Devil, it's my own fault; I just dragged out the game, and he destroyed me with his army. The Imps were annoying at first, but my initiative saved me; I blocked them with the hero before they could do anything. And it wasn't his magic resistance that killed me; more than half of my spells were useless, and I could only cast control on the Imps and destroy half of his army with them, but then Archdevils destroyed them, and no other spell worked, I managed to cast a few more into the void). And it happened again and again; if even one control spell worked, that was a success.

In principle, everything is correct, but I destroyed the ballista and Deleb with the help of summoned dragons (the hero had a perk that increases the army's speed when storming castles, so the dragons easily reached their destination), and I was able to restore the harpies either with vampirism or some other way, I don't remember). The losses were insignificant.

Regarding the Devil, you could have tried replaying. I noticed that the course of the battle depends on many factors, even on who and where you place them. After gaining control over the imps (which is ideal for the beginning of the battle), you could try casting berserk + mass slow + vampirism on key units. It seems that resistance won't affect them.

Can't find the Ring of Swiftness. As a result, the quest involving the fire demons cannot be completed. Where is it, please? I've searched all the crypts.

Master, I've uploaded a screenshot of the map. I think I've captured all the buildings and beaten everyone. But the quest still remains. What demonic shed did I forget? The map is great.

Nothing popped up. I didn't remove the staff, which caused the problem. I just went to the quest givers out of desperation, but nothing happened. I have the feeling that I forgot something or didn't notice something. But what – I don't understand. Or something wasn't working. Damn it.
