btw i haven't tested it on a real game yet
Yet i did do tons of tests by myself so if u find any bugs here is a good place to say , and another thing don't get alarm if you see the pheonix dwelling as a big blue box , its i guess a beta editor bug - simply no image for it on the beta editor , but i rather have it in there an not look pretty then not having it at all, hopefully when the full editor is out that could be easily fixed.

I played it in single player as red for a while,and discovered a whole bunch of bugs.
As far as I recall now, there's a couple of chests that player can't get to, the watermill is also unreachable and overall there are lots of graphic imperfections.
Besides I think a very large map is too big for a duel, but that's just my opinion 
I didn't have patience to play longer that 2 game weeks, because single player bores me and the bugs discouraged me from playing.
So I don't really have an opinion about this map, because I haven't seen it. You didn't provide us with a .h5m file to see what's inside, and I think you should do that if you want some feedback. Also, it's a whole lot easier to run a .h5m file (just changing extension to .pak and putting in \data folder) than this bunch of files that you provided in the package.

Here's some constructive criticism.
Bugs:
- the swan is located on the grass terrain (since it is swimming, I believe it ought to be placed on a lake or river; it just looks weird)
- the water wheel near the red town cannot be reached
- a treasure chest in the north cannot be reached
- the war dancers guarding the scroll of town portal are misplaced
- the ancient of sylanna narby cannot be reached
Other (not bugs but features you might want to revise):
- campaign heroes are available in tavern day one (on purpose, I presume)
- the ghosts guarding the sawmill have joined my sylvan army
- the fence around the ore mine requires additional movement (try rotating the mine instead?)
- the crypt in the north can be bypassed (it doesn't seem you wanted it that way)
- there are strange water patches in the rivers
- some roads lead nowhere
- monsters guide creature banks (which already have appropriate guards)
- pyramids are placed on strange patches of sand terrain (it doesn't look like a beach exactly; make a desert region instead?)
- a lava crack seems to be misplaced/on the wrong terrain
Suggestions:
- disable Instant Travel (it completely makes all the garrisons obsolete) - including getting it from Vaults of the Mages
- weaken the garrisons a bit
- add some vegetation to make the scenery more immersive
- match the creature banks to the terrain types where possible
- match the dead vegetation to the terrain type
- script a simple event (e.g. give a one-time bonus) in front of the special campaign objects (e.g. mausoleum)
Overall:
This is a decent scenario that provides some fun. Not very challenging as it is now. I cannot comment on the balance, as I played it in the singleplayer mode (I understand it is intended for a long 1vs1 multiplayer game? The AI did next to nothing anyway )
The bottom line:
Very promising since this is your first work with the (H5) editor. However, this is version 0.9 at best. Needs polishing and additional testing.
Mark:
3/5 (but could be much more if updated  )

Great FeedBack! Thanx Vladd!

Bugs:
- the swan is located on the grass terrain (since it is swimming, I believe it ought to be placed on a lake or river; it just looks weird)
yeah does look a bit weird but i just had to put in the quite swans..
hmmz i suppose i could add a bit of water there to make it look less odd - will add in next update
Quote:
- the water wheel near the red town cannot be reached
known and already fixed in next update
Quote:
- a treasure chest in the north cannot be reached
hmmz i don't know about it can you be more spacific ,( i will try to look for it when i get home.. )
Quote:
- the war dancers guarding the scroll of town portal are misplaced
thanx for info will check it
Quote:
- the ancient of sylanna narby cannot be reached
again will check
Quote:
Other (not bugs but features you might want to revise):
- campaign heroes are available in tavern day one (on purpose, I presume)
not sure if you mean they always available or in general , yeah i on purpose allowed all heroes (i might think of changing that later on)
- the ghosts guarding the sawmill have joined my sylvan army
Quote:
i think that was luck i'm 99% sure they not set on joining
Quote:
- the fence around the ore mine requires additional movement (try
rotating the mine instead?)
will check it..
Quote:
- the crypt in the north can be bypassed (it doesn't seem you wanted it that way)
i have no problem people bypassing that crypt..
i do wanna allow some movement of secondary heroes withing the first zone
Quote:
- there are strange water patches in the rivers
not important
Quote:
- some roads lead nowhere
what road? where is nowhere? some roads simply allow better movement i wanna allow faster game and more action packed into 1 turn
Quote:
- monsters guide creature banks (which already have appropriate guards)
on purpose
Quote:
- pyramids are placed on strange patches of sand terrain (it doesn't
look like a beach exactly; make a desert region instead?)
i might fix that yet its not that big of issue
Quote:
- a lava crack seems to be misplaced/on the wrong terrain
again not big issue
Suggestions:
Quote:
- disable Instant Travel (it completely makes all the garrisons obsolete) - including getting it from Vaults of the Mages
i was really considering it and still am , keep in mind even if someone gets past the gates everything is still not easy guarded and still need to be almost strong enough to get past the gates
i will think about it
Quote:
- weaken the garrisons a bit
hmmz i'm not sure about that ,you think the garrisons are stronger then the 40 lvl 7 guards? (keep in mind they grow)
if not then they're fine again i still haven't played it so i can be sure about that anyway..
Quote:
- add some vegetation to make the scenery more immersive
belive me i added as much as i could but i will add some more
Quote:
- match the creature banks to the terrain types where possible
don't wanna terrain is mostly grass for fast movement and i don't wanna change that or remove any banks
Quote:
- match the dead vegetation to the terrain type
might do
Quote:
- script a simple event (e.g. give a one-time bonus) in front of the special campaign objects (e.g. mausoleum)
that required me learning scripts which i will but takes time

not sure what u mean by not challenging? if u mean ai it wasn't ment to be played against ai ,rather as human vs human
balance should be perfect since every single item on player 1 is found in area for player 2.
thnx for reply today when i get back will add more fixes and release version 2.0
