Yeah sorry I didn't mean to rag on you. By your post I got the impression you were trying to finish the campaign quickly but I realize that might not be the case.

Also yeah, campaign route choices matter a LOT. As you say, if you choose Gauntlet that meas you can just summon a boat and scream straight towards the final boss along the river.

Ultimately I'm just glad HoMM2 is seeing some attention, it's a really great game. I eagerly await to see if you attempt the expansion campaigns, they were a lot harder for me.

Just finished Abode of Evil, a custom map for HoMM2. Easily the most difficult map I've ever played, had to restart a few times and even felt like giving up a couple times. In this one you can't just hit and run like most campaigns, you really have to be a man and take fights such as pic related.

And with that I've finished Timothy Duncan's Last Hope campaign. I'd definitely recommend it to HoMM2 enthusiasts, it's a really challenging series but really rewarding as well. It's amazing how much both the writing and the level design improves as you go, it starts off with a bare bones plot but then evolves into an incredibly descriptive and well written tale.

Pretty burned out on HoMM2 now though, but I'm definitely looking forward to playing Duncan's HoMM3 maps when I get around to it playing that game.
