We decided to play this map with a friend as an alternative to Absolute Power... usually, we play maps focused on a single hero.
The difficulty was also increased by the fact that we are playing in EWA - by the way, the map works quite correctly on it. But with such strong creature packs, it is very, very difficult to level up - we played for about 8 hours, I reached level 20, and my friend reached level 18. We haven't left our starting location yet - I'm being held back by a pack of Ice Undead with "Freezing Cold"... I think there's at least ten more hours of gameplay left - although it's not a fact that we'll reach the PvP stage - most likely, sooner or later, one of us will be overwhelmed by the next overpowered pack...
In general, the map is interesting, but very difficult - probably the most difficult to level up of all the maps I've played. Usually, a campaign takes from three to ten hours - here, in that time, we haven't even managed to leave the starting location.

In my opinion, there are races that will almost always have an advantage on any map, and there's nothing you can do about it. As for the AI, there's nothing you can do about it either; to get the most enjoyment out of the game, it's better to play against a human. If there aren't many human opponents, I can create a version where 1 player is allied with 4 others. The map crash is definitely not due to the size; it's more likely due to the effects in the center of the dungeon, which I had to give a negative height. Thank you for the valuable comments; there's a lot to work on here.

Buddy, am I doing something wrong? There's no central island in the dungeon. Moreover, on the mini-map, you can see 4 straight lines – passages, but there's nothing like that on the actual map. Absolutely nothing. It's just an empty space.
