Zubin has flying mighty gorgons but for some reason he never goes out if you don't have all around attack. Is sufficient to cast forgetfulness round one and that's all. He also makes you the task easier by frenzying the gorgons each round, typical AI weird thing. Next are harder but with the huge gold and mithril income you have, I fear there will not be enough resistance to have fun.

Frenzy? He Didnt cast it even once. After 3 buffs (Prayer shield stone), je always Cloned gorgons, After which He wenn out, Thats ehy I hab to dispel. No matter the difficulty, I find the Map absolutely Amazing. Its Not like its Not challenging, even if I now miss the logistical Problem of making full use of trasure hinters...

Maybe use the latest file, it will not affect anything except the mithril bonus from CB and hunters, as once you will get the water bonus, you will generate the double in one trip with the old bonus, then will get redundant. Or have fun with +2 but at one moment you won't know what to do with such big mithril quantity.

What is this "all around" on devils you guys are talking about ? Some sort of ability ? Is the one that hydras have ?
Also, Sal, can you make custom difficulty option ? Eliminate those 6 levels of difficulty and let us check some boxes with what we want .. Me for example I would like to play the VI level, but without double movement at the start I gave up. We should be able to combine the difficulty options ..

All around ability is available only for hell. Now is too late for me to create selectable options, would need to redo...about 11869 lines of code.
I am aware that Pasis may not follow the player if he is playing 1-2 difficulty, this will be a small penalty compared to bonuses it has.

For 1-2 difficulty just don't upgrade AD experience and Pasis will follow. You have double movement, no chance that he can get to you.

The minimal difficulty to have fair game is 4th one. Lower than 4th I can't even imagine, AI without any growth while we keep upgrading, it will be a joke.

I set fair Ignaz on fire 
Bring Mana. Now just split devils up in any way, then block gate with second devil, always resurrect losses done by sylvan centaur. Enemy casts before shooting, so will at most take out two of your guys at once (= pray that you survive until he has no more shots). In the meantime attack dragons and pegasi. Enemy will not move even after his shots are drained, so you can now cast bless and prayer, enemy continues meteor showering + implosion, simply resurrect until all his mana is gone. Then just cure every other round, kill the remains.
And, to underline it one more time, I updated erm file after Damacon battle, and kept it up to date from that time. In addition, nearly all fights are done without allround. For Zubin, he didnt do with newest erm either.
I may want to add the dragons dwelling before Ignatius lets you buy dragons if you dont have the money.
@Master Sounds like a fair deal. Split it up into parts, maybe we can make some more?
PS: Selectable options are generally a bad idea if there are no points given for each option (like in Anno 1404 for example). Because if we can select everything, competition is gone at the cause of there being no grades. Now we can say "Yes, I finally beat it on hell! Im better than you!". What would we say the other way? "Yes, finally beat it with halved movement, enemy power *3, conversion cost doubled, mithril market disabled and castle gates disabled! Im better than most of you!" Others will answer: "Well, I didnt use disabled castle gates, but disabled external dwellings...blah, bleh, blah." I think you get what I mean. It would be awesome if points were given however.

I was not going to do it anyway, my idea was clear: 4 factions with different game play, 7 difficulties, no need to mix tomatoes with potatoes.
Just a reminder because I am interested about balance report: after Ignaz there is a cornucopia to pick behind his quest gate. It will give double resources, after Daremyth death (next hero) you will get a second one. Just to know when MoS can have the water/earth bonuses with this.
Btw, do you play with turbo mod? It greatly increases the overall speed.
***
I played a bit those days with MoE, trying to beat Piquedram before month 5 using Einstein algorithms of shrines. 
Worked, was down to 23 devils after his first hit, but I can resurrect 200/turn
Galthran, same day, I occupied him with war machines:
I need mithril badly, my devils have barely 90 damage and 250 HP only.

I see someone abuses the Teleport shrines removal to advance faster (by letting a secondary hero go first and put a shrine to drag Commodus along), that change is just crazy and I haven't even played yet . And yes managing Mithrils is extremely hard for MoE in early and mid game because there are no boosts compared to MoS and MoW. That's why I focused solely in spell damage in my game, just upgrade HP on AD to let them tank as long as possible, also Poison.

I like the shrines abuse, I abuse a lot. Without it, I don't see how MoE would stand for Hell, it moves slow, no mithril income, all you have is resurrect good, but once you are cornered it doesn't help much.
On the other side MoE is penalized because of gods: you practically can't delegate a secondary hero for hard battles without losing the gods. If you lose them, your spell power goes down by 20-30, hard choice.

Is there anyway to Resurrect god and keep the bonus? Or hidden passive (means that all MoE Heroes gains 1-3 SP per week without carrying a god)? Though early game they are still needed as tank meat shield I guess.

I don't get how you guys move so fast with the game.
Started MOW, difficulty IV. Month 2, week 4. Only taken the first 3 castles and now comes the fight with Pasis.
So I want to ask what's your strategy in the first 1/2 month ? With no double movement .. well, it's hard.

In fact, first 3 weeks it depends on your faction. With MoS we can do a lot of things, free Rion and take all three towns before week 3, with MoE you need one cyclops stockpile defeated, so you can make guild II then lighting bolt on Pasis or third town without loses, with MoW you just use the tones of resources you get every day, but you need to fight with everyone, not only with main. But with all factions is better if you have 3 towns before week 4, and very doable.

The map link on the first post is the latest version ? And wikisend.com/download/538822/commodus.erm is the last one too ?
I didn't find any "all around" option on hell barons.
