Walkthroughs for custom maps.

Even though I love Heroes 3, I consider this map to be a mockery of players...
The Gatekeepers, requiring you to arrive by a specific date, are disgustingly awful...
I think it would be more logical to place the Gatekeepers as part of a quest...
So, I don't make it in x days, I arrive on day x+4, and now what? Do I have to start over?
You play, you play, and then it turns out that 2-3 days weren't enough, and you should have flown to the Gatekeeper instead of going after something else...

I completely agree with you! You just didn't mention that this is about the map "Brothers of Mercy and War," right? Yes, it's about that one: I already found veR's message. Recently, on the same website http://karten.drachenwald.net/index.php?area=h3, I dug up a "delicious"-looking map called "Dunkler Horizont," also in German (and with a lot of text!). I really liked how rich it was with everything imaginable: monsters, objects, and so on. I tried to play it and translate it on the fly, but I couldn't finish it; I lost. It's frustrating. I thought the main difficulty would be with the translation. In general, even after looking at it in the editor, I can't figure out how it's supposed to be done: either you need a very high level of skill, or you need to set the difficulty lower, or I'm missing something. Whatever the Secret Author's Intention, I didn't understand it. One way or another, by the 3rd month, enemies start attacking from 3 sides at once, and there's nowhere to run... Maybe someone will figure out how to deal with it? I have the translation texts, but only about half of them are translated, and they are mostly "rough" (raw Google translation).

I also played an older map like "The Pen and the Sword" before, but I never posted a report because the map has a major flaw: either the author made a mistake or didn't finish it (but I haven't seen a newer version). One way or another, it can be completed either through great luck (as was the case with me) or after предварительное редактирование. I wrote a detailed analysis of my playthrough with comments and suggestions for changes, but it's so long that it's unlikely anyone will read it. I can make the desired changes myself, but I don't feel I have the right to decide for the author (the main problem: due to the passage of time (the map is from 2000), it's impossible to contact him, and it would be necessary to discuss it with the author, but I'm afraid he has already forgotten everything). But if anyone wants to figure it out, I'll share my thoughts.
