It doesn't teleport you behind the gates; I've collected all the keys, visited the dragons, returned to the prophet, and when I approach the gates, it still doesn't teleport me.

Good afternoon! I'm a fan of your maps. I'm playing through the campaign for the second time on Veteran difficulty. I can't seem to defeat Faelan, no matter what I try! It's been 8 months, and I've been leveling up Summoning and Chaos skills. Is it too late now?

I downloaded the map and started playing. In the early game, I decided to develop Sigrif's companion instead of Sigrif himself, and it seems to be working well – on the sixth day, I captured the orange Underground City. That's all for now.
The only downside is that the computer still doesn't seem to be able to improve its logistics in any way. I'm focusing on developing Dark magic, as other types of magic are not very useful on large maps. Chaos magic is good for small maps and fast-paced battles with a relatively small number of creatures (the first few dozen creatures of level 7).
I'll let you know what happens next.

In my opinion, this map should prohibit hiring Lethos. As soon as you hire him in the city (which happened to me in the third week), Sigrif's companion learns "Plague" and "Collective Plague," and then it just becomes chaos – two powerful contaminators wipe everyone out like the Three Musketeers.

Did the Greens retreat?

A month and three weeks of game time have passed since the beginning of the game. I took three towns from the green faction and destroyed four heroes (lost three dozen units during the assaults on their towns). They don't seem to be attacking anymore, probably because there's no one left to attack.

fast) after that, the enemy probably won't want to show up for a while.

Oh no! The very next day, the enemy hired that same elf again, the one that Tralsai had just defeated near the central town, and brought a large army with her through the teleport near the crossroads. I don't know where he got it, but he probably gathered everything he could from the main town (where, in my opinion, Faydaen should be). I had to fight a couple more contaminated creatures – luckily, Letos was nearby and managed to weaken the army a bit, but the battle was tough, and it was hard to survive :eek:.
