So, did absolutely no one attack when the hero approached the book?

This compensates for the lack of Might. And for Orcs, the lack of Might is actually a good thing.

No one attacked in 2 out of 3 cases (all times with Necropolis). The hero "hesitates" at the point, then can go and take the book.

Exploring the map led me to the conclusion that it is easiest to play as Necromancers, and most difficult as Orcs. (By the way, only by playing as them can you get into the "Hall of Fame" and earn points.) Orcs play with only one castle: it is inconvenient to combine them with inhabitants of other castles. And on this map, the "melee" part is decisive. Losing Cyclops is very detrimental to them. Also, their magical abilities are limited (and already meager for Barbarians): everyone else in each castle can learn something, but Orcs can only do so in their one castle.
I cannot say that Necromancers are devoid of Dark magic. I was playing as Necromancers specifically for the "revival of darkness," which is visible in the demos. The absence of "Berserk" and "Dominate" is not critical with such possibilities for replenishing the army. The main thing is that all mass spells are available.

I watched the recording with Jezebel. In principle, she had a chance to win if she had attacked the vampires instead of some zombies. Why the battle didn't start for me in some cases is still a mystery. Could it be that there were saves left from shortly before these moments?

I would say that she should have won without a doubt. The trick here isn't so much in the attack on the zombies, but in the fact that the imps attacked. If they steal mana on their turn, winning becomes almost impossible. The Necromancer can fight back using the Necromancer's sign, but the other races have no options. (Barbarians will most likely be severely damaged in the first attack). To prevent the imps from stealing mana, you have to sacrifice your own unit (Death Messengers). This is a very bad option when the imps can't attack anyone due to the map's features. Then they steal mana every turn, and they move often. I have a suggestion: reconsider the concept of the final battle.
I'll try to find the save file; I don't think I lost everything.

There are so many quest maps now... they give you a quest on every stump *_*

- Fixed the game ending before the final battle.

- Added the Boots of Levitation artifact to the map.

- The script size has been significantly reduced.

- The diplomatic bonus for giving resources to ambassadors has been doubled.

Tried the new version of the map.

But Jezebel still doesn't want to engage in battle. She obviously has more interesting things to do.

Were you still playing as Necromancer?

There are no quests, or rather, there were no quests in the Town-to-Town mode.
