Heroes 5: Heroes 5 Tribes of the East

Dark times threaten this land once again. Zoltan, a powerful necromancer, has allied with the orcs of the north and threatens to conquer the kingdom of men. The only hope lies in recovering a sacred artifact, called the Armor of the Forgotten Hero, which was used in ancient times to defeat the demonic invasion. You have been sent across the ocean to retrieve this artifact from the tomb of the legendary knight who wore it many years ago.

Additional Info: This map is a RPG type map with a good amount of quests. It incorporates resource management but no town building/development. The strategies required to complete the map require strong knowledge of creature and hero abilities and spells. The map is very large but plays a lot smaller than it is; it should take about 6 months to complete. I recommend reading all the messages in the game for hints and guidance. There is a walkthrough provided if you need further help.
