Heh, it's surprising that this map, which is almost 10 years old and doesn't stand out in terms of features, mechanics, or plot, was suddenly translated.
I can modestly say that this is my achievement :)
I found this map on a Polish forum, completed it 130%, wrote to the author, sent him save files, and "forced" him to upload the map to maps4heroes! For this, the author translated the map into English! As he wrote, "I made the map a long time ago, but I didn't know there was a community," so the map didn't go beyond Polish forums (or if it "accidentally" ended up on Russian-language forums).
In my opinion, completing it 200% is a heroic feat! By the way, as the author wrote, in the version that he recently uploaded to maps4heroes, this map has been slightly changed, in particular, the final boss's army has been increased + a number of other changes. So the Polish and English versions are different, albeit in small details. I can't write everything because the author may want to keep it a secret! ;)

[/U]It's funny that the map was uploaded to maps4heroes. The author himself wrote to me that in ten years, no one has completed it 200%.
When creating the map, the author did not plan to upload it to any forums other than Polish ones. And since the number of people playing it was small, as the author wrote, he received save files of playthroughs only from 2 of his acquaintances, and a couple more 130% playthroughs. Therefore, it's not surprising that no one has tried to complete it 200%.
Plus, it's clear that without "mass" magic, its total limitation, the need to complete the map only with combat skills and management, all this weeds out beginner players, and most advanced players as well. And among the "hardcore" professionals, only China and the former USSR remain, where HMM3 has a lot of fans. I think that if this map is uploaded to the Chinese gamerhome, sooner or later we will see a 200% completion!

But I definitely won't play the English version.
As I wrote a few minutes ago, the English-language map is slightly different. It is definitely a little more difficult than the Polish version (the indicators in the quests and the strength of the opponents are slightly different, that's all I can say without spoilers). If anyone wants, you can check it in the editor. So, FOR THE SAKE OF EXPERIMENT, take into account which version you are playing. In my opinion, the English version is definitely more difficult, albeit in small details! And FOR THE SAKE OF EXPERIMENT, you should play the English version, because all other players will only download the English version, and based on the playthrough of the Polish version, dear Dandy, you will be comparing slightly different maps.
