I completed everything, and everyone else had it too. Only the buildings are stuck. What a mess, right?

I made it!
It's a cool map. Although I messed up and had to wander around it. If the computer didn't lag, there would definitely be no victory... but it can't do without it. The beginning is always interesting; it basically determines the outcome of the game. If you manage to level up and keep your army, the rest is just a matter of technique. At the beginning of the game, I made Hydras regenerative. With a little bit of grinding during the battle with the Fire Elementals, they were fully restored to their original numbers. True, I still had to get rid of them. I disagree that Chaos magic shouldn't be upgraded; if you use the "Stopping Cold" spell, both the unit and the enemy can be eliminated much faster. I used "Higher Education" and "Stopping Cold" against the mana-stealing Imps – I almost always managed to keep my mana. Vampirism makes life incredibly easier. Thank you for the work you put into this; you can play these maps over and over again!

First of all, they guard a very, very valuable artifact.

I can't quite understand the value of this artifact; they gave me the "Spirit of Frida," and I've been carrying it around for three months now (see the attached picture). There's nowhere to use it, and it doesn't provide any noticeable benefit when stored.

As for the game, I've been playing for two months, reached level 35, destroyed three castles, and amassed a huge army (2,000 archers, 1,200 griffins, 500 lizardmen, 109 Nightblades, 19 Shadowlords, and 56 Red Dragons). I haven't suffered any significant losses yet, except for 150 archers in a battle with the Factions early on (Hydras and Minotaurs don't count; I got rid of them immediately to avoid them interfering, and I don't pick them up anymore). It's a shame that there's nowhere to upgrade the Nightblades into the first version of Shadowlords; they're much more useful. I used them to defeat the Factions early in the game. Also, I would definitely upgrade the griffins into Furies; they have less health, but higher initiative, which is often a greater advantage.

P.S. If the "Return of the Hero" map is in the maps folder, instead of talking to the altar, it shows a cutscene of the battle with the Druid at the beginning of the "Return of the Hero" mission. There might be other glitches, but I deleted this map and others immediately afterward. Maybe the "Spirit of Frida" was a reward from another map?

P.S.S. Sorry if I'm repeating myself; I didn't read the entire forum thread.

This map will probably be very easy; maybe there will be some difficulties only in the final battle.

Hello.
Master, please tell me how to open the southwestern area (using the console). I've completed everything I could, but I can't reach the dragons (all buildings are captured, but the quest isn't completed, and it says there's still one castle left - is this about the last one?). I really enjoyed this map, as well as the previous ones. Thank you for your work.

I've reached the point where I need to find the cloak and the staff.

Where can I find this Staff of the Underworld? I have the cloak, but I can't find the staff anywhere.
I've completed all the quests and explored the entire map except for the closed area. It seems like Ilia won't let me proceed without this staff.

I added the staff to my inventory using the console, but it still doesn't work. I'm not sure what to do next. I've already explored the entire map three times.

Can anyone tell me how to install a map? I would be grateful.
