Done - Epic Map

Finished the map. It left a very positive impression!!! I found a few new things for myself, but I won't write about them yet, so as not to make a spoiler. I played for the castle and I think this is the best option on this map.
For a long time I couldn't find a way to the opposite three AI players. Later, one of the AI ​​players on the airship showed me the way :) I also couldn't find a place to land from the airship near the keymaster's tents. In my opinion, it would be more interesting if you somehow designated the landing areas.
The final bosses surprised me! Now I would take other secondary skills for the main character! Now, knowing the sequence of actions, it seems to me that when playing for the castle, the map can be completed in 8-10 months. Later, in six months, I'll try to make a speedrun.
Found a few minor bugs: non-working shipyard 106:17:1, multi-triggered events (117:138:1 e.t.c.) give messages on re-visit, but the guards there no longer appear after being destroyed (but this is more likely a bug in the game itself).
Thank you so much for the amazing map!!!

Unreal to pass - Epic Map

Guys, it feels terrible, when the computer players start with +over 10 to all basic skills. Hiding in the chuch is miserable. Very unkind map for people, that only want to have fun.

If this map is for professionals, please note it in the description of the map!

Pink boss after 5 months with 99... is too much

The map is definitely not on the easy side. The author writes that the map has an epic difficulty level, mini bosses and final bosses.
The main goal of the early game is speed. It is advisable to get to Conflux and Factory in the central part of the map within three months. The easiest way to do this is with the Castle. Don't worry too much about the losses when breaking through the garrison, then the army will start to grow in arithmetic progression. And other AI players, except mini bosses, will not pose any problem for you.
When pink mini-bosses come out you don't have to fight them. You're just fooling these guys. Sacrifice one of your starting towns and hide a player with a small army in the nearest sanctuary (аs in the screenshot). To make pink think that you are going to take this town back. The pink player will stand motionless for as long as you need.
And a couple more tips. You will most likely have to change the main hero. Don't forget to give him the armorer skill :)
And once again I want to say that the map is simply fantastic!

Hey there! Glad to hear you're enjoying my map and that you're a long time subscriber! I see you're from Australia. You wouldn't happen to be Rizn, would you?

Anyways, I would have to agree with you that it is important to break out into the map as soon as possible. Let me know how your next attempt goes!

Thank you so much! - Epic Map

Thanks so much! I remember you from my other map, "The Devil Beneath You". 

Thanks for pointing out the empty quest guards! They're meant to require you to defeat Engineer. I had them edited, but they must have reset when I changed Engineer a bit. I just fixed those along with the Gold Dragons issue and submitted an updated version! It should be posted soon!

Regarding the Keymaster's Tents, you can access the first 6 via Air Ship by docking off on a small and hidden patch of land in each area. They're hidden underneath the Magical Terrain. My intention was that the player would find out where they were by seeing the AI land on them. That, or if you happened to fly over them and notice the Anchor Icon light up.

I plan to constantly improve this map, including the aesthetics and any areas that might be a little empty. This wouldn't be possible without people like you taking the time to leave feedback, so again, thanks a bunch!

DD access - Epic Map

OK, so having knowledge about access to tents' areas has influence mainly on final bosses' fights, I was able to avoid morale and luck penalties. As for the game itself, It was slightly easier thanks to better stats from libraries and having extra towns with morale and luck bonus.

Magic University - Epic Map

There is also one next to the Fortress & Cove Castles for the Purple, Orange, and Teal players. I wanted to offer all 4 schools of magic for all the players at that point in the game. I understand that the Conflux Castle also offers the 4 schools of magic, but in the event you cannot take it offer, you can always visit the University then then stay safe at the Sanctuary. Perhaps I'll just ban the Magic University from that Conflux Castle.
