Done - Trouble in the Center

I finished your map and my overall impressions were very positive. The second half of the game was not so spectacular and rather drawn out. I understood your idea, but its implementation was not entirely successful.
Conflux heroes, who were supposed to cause a huge amount of problems after leaving the dungeon, were not strong enough. All of them, except one, were defeated on the way out. But the only one remaining (96/96/99/99) got stuck near a couple of towns, capturing them several times.
And at this time, every day 6-8 blue and teal heroes (practically without an army) crawled across the map through one-way teleports. It was wery trying moment... I would advise either abandoning this strategy or significantly strengthening the invaders at the exit.
I had to defeat the only difficult hero with the loss of most of my army. After that, I blocked all the exits from the teleports with secondary heroes with larger armies than the invaders could afford.
In fact, at this moment the game had already been won, but I had to spend several hours of game time wandering for a long time in the dungeon in search of orbs.
Probably, all the negative aspects described above could become a challenge if Conflux had not only one complex hero, but at least four or more. For some reason it seems to me that you were planning just such a scenario :)
Moments that I really liked:
- very dynamic and exciting start;
- challenging and varied AI bosses in the overground level;
- very thoughtful limitation of magic spells with step-by-step obtaining of them;
- each color has its own heroes, there won't be a super-powerful hero in your tavern;
- very well thought out quests;
- beautiful, pleasing landscapes.
Moments that I found annoying:
- a huge number of ambushes (with a not very large army) that are not marked in any way, especially in the dungeon. For what?!? This delays the battle for the secondary character or requires loading a save to get around them. I would understand if they were restrictive until a certain time and were indicated by conventional signs.
- monster double week;
- long, long walks in the dungeon, when it is already clear that the game is practically won. I had to open the editor to save time.
- The teal player's two castles were unavailable... Why was it necessary to declare as one of the conditions of victory the defeating of all enemy heroes and the capture of all their castles?

Overall, the map is memorable and I really liked it. Thanks for uploading!

Thank you - Trouble in the Center

Thank you for your opinion!

The conflux heroes were supposed to get to a secret place where they would receive the most powerful spells that would allow them to teleport across the entire map and this should have been difficult, but this again did not happen. Periodically, the AI ​​does some strange things.
