Posts from Random Map Generator (RMG)

As far as I know, the Hammers of Fate are currently using version 2.1. ;)

You are absolutely right! You can download the patch from the file archive.

I don't know, but it seems to me that GSC is a very good option when you've played all the scenarios and everything gets boring. Besides, I don't like the somewhat deterministic nature of the scenarios – everything is crammed into too narrow a framework. But in GSC maps, you can develop your hero however you want. The only downside for me personally is Hammers of Fate 2.0, so my GSC is somewhat limited: for example, I can't choose a faction. But that's just my personal tragedy that I still haven't installed the patch.

2. Olga - unfortunately, it is not possible to select this race even in version 2.1.

Yes, you are right, you can't choose the factions, but it's still better than playing through scenarios. The element of randomness is very important in the world of Heroes of Might and Magic. In general, when there's nothing else available, even a crab is a fish, so I'm all for it.

Let's hope that this option will appear in the add-on with the Orcs...
And also in the patches for the Fortress.

In Heroes of Might and Magic III, the GSC was better, but I’m glad they added it anyway.

Better in what way??? Were the maps more balanced?? More detailed?? Or what?

The map generator in Heroes of Might and Magic V isn't that bad, but it does have a problem with the Dungeon faction! You want to play without the Dungeon (I don't like it myself), and with all the factions available, but then you get a map without the Dungeon, and sometimes it generates poorly! But you know why I think it's not bad? Because I never use it! :smile40: I use the map editor, and if I don't want to create maps myself, I generate a random map, place the castles I want, and exclude the Dungeon, and that's it, the map is ready! And if I want to add something special, I add heroes from the campaign! :smile17:

I don't dislike how the map is created, but rather how it's managed to make it happen. I think it annoyed me a lot back then. Maybe because it was a terrible pirated copy=), and I couldn't see where everything was written, even though I know English... There definitely wasn't any underground there!! But the maps themselves are created normally...

Regarding the Guarded Strategic Locations (GSL) in Heroes of Might and Magic V: so far, it hasn't happened once, unlike in Heroes of Might and Magic IV, where you play, play, explore half the map, develop your hero, and then it turns out there's no way to reach the enemy. It's frustrating. You need to fight, but you can't get to him. But in Heroes of Might and Magic V, everything seems fine with that so far. It's just a shame that the Tears of Ashi aren't hidden in random maps.

Have you tried it in the editor? You can choose a faction there!

I personally confirmed that in patch 2.1, you can choose a faction. You check the box next to the "random towns" option, and then, when you load the map, instead of specific (random) castles appearing, you see cubes, and you can choose from those. But it's quite interesting – I had mages located underground, and the Dungeon faction in the middle of the desert. But the saddest thing was seeing the elven castle underground in the darkness.

And what about the artifact generator in "Tribes of the East"? Has it improved at all?
