But if it's not a single-player game, but a campaign, the situation changes drastically. I personally prefer campaigns or huge scenarios. Small maps don't seem interesting to me. You can't level up your hero there, and you don't even have time to enjoy the game.

I don't like large scenarios because the game can turn into a boring grind – it's called "find a companion."

But campaigns are meant to be that way :)

I disagree with you. If a campaign has an interesting plot, it can be very enjoyable to play.

Small maps are good for playing against an opponent online. When you have the opportunity, you should try it, and I think you'll get hooked.

Sometimes scenarios are much more interesting than Campaigns. Because in a Campaign, you have to start each mission from scratch, only with a leveled-up hero. It's tedious to go through Campaigns, IMHO.

The first map, and you level up like crazy. The next maps, even at the beginning of the game, when I only have 1 hero. My army's level is through the roof (in the Thieves' Guild). And I just wander around and clear the map.

Do whatever you want, but there's nothing better than level 3! I've said it before, and I'll say it again... A Tower is good, but level 3 units are the real game-changers ("dark horses").

Exactly. Even if you manage to build a level 4 structure, firstly, you periodically encounter money problems; secondly, it's also difficult to accumulate units.

although there are exceptions (champions, weirdos, and storm riders), their price is quite reasonable...
