Walkthroughs for custom maps.

I translated the part of the tactical file that interests me into English. Here's what I got:

If the enemy has only 1 unit in the city defense, you can win the battle immediately with Expert Earthquake! (500 Exp if units have not been defeated).

That is, you can win the battle by using Expert Earthquake if the enemy has only one stack defending the castle (its size doesn't matter). Has anyone encountered such a bug? For some reason, I can't seem to make this trick work.

When maps like these use a SINGLE Walkthrough, a game bug is not a good thing.:smile35: Chinese maps are the same

but, judging by the discussion on the HeroesPortal map catalog page and a separate forum topic, many (?) people like it so much that they play it several times (if they don't succeed on the first try).

The reasons for its popularity are the well-known brand, in my opinion.

It so happened that almost all Heroes 3 players are from the CIS region, and the majority are from Russia (remember who released HotA). A map in Russian will interest many more people than a Chinese map, Nautilus Hardcore, Salamandra (Valery) maps, and so on, which I didn't mention. Because people are not good at translating. If Paragon were in English, I would look at its rating:smile42:
Also, Paragon has a murky, fantastical, absurd story with Ashwings and other strange creatures, which is also ideal and will appeal to the CIS community (what do you think Heroes players look like? Not all of them, of course).
Of course, the battles there seem pretty good at first glance, but "Archangels + clones + repeat n times" is a very old scheme. Nautilus or Season doesn't use that.
If they were in Russian or the original language, they would be top-tier
