Map Type: Single Player
Dungeon: No
Number of Players: 7
Size: Large (176x176)

Description: In this valley, lords from all kingdoms have gathered. There was peace between them until the lords of Haven and Dungeon wanted to rule this valley, and were defeated and driven to the poorest lands. But no one expected that huge treasures would be found there! The exiles quickly amassed an army and struck back. And now the alliance was broken, as each lord wanted to seize the treasures. There will be only one winner!

Note: Found my old map, made it a long time ago, back when I was playing Fortress, so I decided to upload it. It seems to have turned out pretty well :) It's best to play as Stronghold, as I made a few changes using the new editor; it might not work in the old version anymore.

I downloaded the archive, but it won't open.

I downloaded the archive, but it won't open(((

That's strange, it opens for me, but I've re-uploaded it, try downloading and opening it again using WinRAR.

It opened fine for me.

The map and archive are working. They unpack correctly. (This is the very first version of the archive.)

I played the map a couple of times: once as Dwarves and once as Humans. I wouldn't call it difficult or overly complex, but it's still enjoyable and fun to play. If you start with the Human castle, the events unfold very dynamically. Dwarves are for those who like to take their time. As for criticism, there are many dungeons on the map with heroes inside, and the heroes are randomly assigned. It would have been better to place heroes there who are suitable for the castle they are located near. Thanks to the author for the good work.

I started a game as the Humans with Frida, and on the 3rd week, a powerful Necromancer entered my territory from the south, but for some reason, he passed by without attacking, even though the game indicated a "High" level of danger, and I was already thinking that this would be the end.)

I couldn't find a mentor, and without one, it's not as interesting. I usually give him 200k-300k gold, and it makes for a very engaging battle against a random opponent.

the enemies take too long to make their moves; I even have time to go to the bathroom.

I remember the map for its successful design and atmosphere. I didn't find any errors. I was surprised by the large number of dungeons - perhaps that was the author's intention.

It's not possible to launch the scenario. There are non-critical mods installed, purely for visual enhancements. I don't see a reason to remove them, as they allow 99% of scenarios to run. I also don't want to bother figuring out what the author did.
