Echoing this sentiment, with my standout memory being the train map where you have to make an extra-aggressive push to the locomotive as each car before it is detached, causing any units on it (friend or foe) to be banished from the map for the rest of that quest.
I read this and had a visceral reaction to the memories of the absolute frustration of trying to get through this map without losing any villagers. I came into this thread hoping to find someone championing Vandal Hearts, and am happy to see it. Truly an excellent game in the genre.
