Haha, you hit the nail on the head! You're absolutely right, water allows you to leave large areas unoccupied without penalty, and that's why it deserves respect. In general, water is an indispensable part of the Heroes gameplay.

I completely agree. Water even makes things more interesting; just think about the very large Oceania map – it's my favorite map with water.

P.S. Although, water can really mess with the AI... with its unpredictable (unplanned for you) deployments... but that just adds excitement to the game.

I play on random maps and disable water. In my opinion, it's unnecessary and not interesting.

I wonder how you turn off the water!

It seems to me that it is only needed for variety and for the sake of realism.

I'm currently creating a map that is entirely on water. Land is only used as a base. The point of the map is to collect the Admiral's hat, which will then make things easier. I think the map will turn out to be very interesting and without any land.

Message from AzteC3:
I'd like to know how you disable water!?

It is very simple here. When creating a random map, there is a Water Level option (or in some versions, the amount of water); if you set it to "none", there will be no water; "normal" produces maps sometimes with water, sometimes without, or with a small amount of water; and "islands" speaks for itself. Although, the pleasure of playing on a large random map created under "islands" is extremely questionable.

But if there's water on a random map, but no shipyards nearby, and I'm playing as Barbarians, how do I get to the other side?!?!?

Then you take a hero, give him "water," level him up to "expert," teach him the "summon ship" spell, and off you go – no shipyard needed ;)

to summon a ship, you need to own it.

That's not quite right! It's not necessary to use the "summon ship" magic if you don't own the ship itself.

Nothing like that! It's not necessary to use the "summon ship" spell if you don't have a ship at all.

This spell will only work if there is at least one ship on the map, no matter where, but it must be there.

What, is it really that hard to try? Look for yourself, expert – water and everything – a ship at the hero's feet :)

ley, I apologize, you are right. Even when there is no ship on the map, a ship appears on the expert water map.

But this only happens on the expert water map... on the others, only a friendly ship appears.
