...the map is just terrible.
Play maps created, for example, by markkurom, and you'll feel the difference.
There are no bad maps. Every author puts in effort and spends time, which is already a good thing. Some maps are interesting to play, while others are boring. Since I mostly play against the computer these days, this map is boring to me. It's boring because, due to the lack of strong garrisoned gates or simply strong monsters at the junctions, it's impossible to develop properly. The opponents just run around like crazy, and the game turns into a chase-and-kill scenario. Personally, the last time I played it, I limited the number of heroes to two per faction. Otherwise, it's not enjoyable. That's how it is.
I recommend playing as the blue or green player, or even the yellow player. I wouldn't recommend playing as the red player because, in terms of design, its territory isn't very appealing.

Play the "Stronghold" map. I'll say right away that this is my map. I don't want to brag, but judging by the description of what you don't like, all of this is absent on my map. It has strong garrisons and so on.

In general, a dynamic game with player interaction is more interesting, in my opinion, than spending a month or two building up, and then using the "total clearing" method to crush everyone. But again, it's "a matter of taste..."
The way I play... I take three or four bottles of Spaten, sit down, and get twice the enjoyment. So, wild dynamics and a hurricane aren't my thing. But again, I agree – it's a matter of taste.
I wonder, is there a mod available somewhere that adds a dwelling for phoenixes?
Because that square in the editor with the inscription "fire lake" is quite depressing...
