The new map is big, especially in terms of the contents. So many quests, secrets — it's just XL, but space is certainly not wasted. At the same time it looks great. This is nothing new for fans of the mapmaker. There are few new things though:
- classically Fly was banned, not this time! Fly is (fairly) easy to obtain and it brings a different dynamic to the gameplay. At the same time TP and especially Blind are ridiculously difficult to find :D
- new kinds of quests, e.g., a reward for defeating a hero. It's new, especially because these heroes are available via prisons. In the end I got all of them and could not finish the quest. Sometimes you have to make a decision which quest you want to fulfill, as they have competing requirements. Cool.
The difficulty is very well-balanced. CPU gets nice boosts that don't feel like cheating. The organic growth of the CPU heroes and their armies looks very realistic. The final battle is epic, but if one explores the map they should be able to gather the necessary troops without grinding, which is nice.
