Posts from Arena-type maps.

I'll start by saying that family, work, and other matters take priority over gaming, but sometimes you just want to play. Hotseat + UMAP isn't an option because it often takes 10+ hours of real time, involves a lot of saving and attempts to connect with an opponent, which ultimately steals a significant chunk of the positive emotions from the experience. Turn-based games, where you take turns, are faster, but the saving problem still remains. In this situation, arena-style maps seem like a good solution. They cut out a significant portion of the game, but you can still get enjoyment from playing with minimal time commitment in real life. First and foremost, I'd like to hear from people who are interested in this, who would be happy to play Heroes with minimal movement of units across the map, but with a high-quality endgame. To narrow the search for opponents and further develop this direction, I suggest posting in this thread. Potential opponents for arena battles: Volodymyr (297363980) Russel_lDHl (99717727) Samurai (718903463) Dan_choi (661007127) Nedved46 (700060495) nubasik (721645275)

try playing HotA with the AI – the games are very fast-paced.

try playing Haven with the Oath faction. The games are very fast-paced.

...on turn 113, an orange unit appears and destroys everything.

Sometimes I really want to play in the arena, so I'm checking in here. :) But of course, my priority is the map of the Polish arena 2.4, which I mentioned earlier. It's a pity that I haven't been able to play it with Volodymyr yet; it's much more balanced than ArenaV, and more details depend on the player.

I enjoy playing arena battles because I don't have much time for full-fledged games.

Dan_choi, by the way, plays quite well (at least, that's my impression) in the arena.
We manage to play together once a week.
Just some info for fellow arena enthusiasts.

I couldn't find anyone in the "Let's arrange a game" thread, so I'll try here.
Are there any players interested in playing arena battles? Write to me.

I also started playing the arena, add me on ICQ.

I added a list to the first post of people who might be interested in playing "Arena".

Dan_choi: 661007127
Samurai: 718903463

Also, everyone says that helllight likes to play in the arena, but since he hasn't responded here, maybe his circle of friends with similar interests is exclusive and already established.

Where can I download high-quality arenas and find out which ones are the most popular?

Why was the thread closed? I reopened it.

I only played Tactician`s Corner 3 properly; I can confidently say that it is a quality and balanced map, with battles being engaging and interesting in 90% of cases. The author of the map is Alex Vinogradov aka Horn, which speaks volumes. As far as I remember, there were 2 tournaments held on HeroesWorld based on this map. You can learn more and download the map here:

TK-3 on HeroesWorld

=TC3 League. Regular Season=

If you play with the HD mod, the terrain changes in the cell where the battle takes place, which gives an advantage in defense to the player on the right side of the battlefield. Therefore, I moved the teleport to a cell with equal defensive positions.

Recently, Russel_lDHl told me about the Polish map ArenaV; I have only played it a few times, so I don't have enough experience to draw conclusions. In general, the map is not bad, but there is much more randomness and luck compared to TC3. On the plus side, it is easy to master – everything is simple, and you play with what you get.

Map Tactician`s Corner 3 (with the relocated teleport) and ArenaV

Recently learned from Russel_lDHl about the Polish map ArenaV; I've only played it a few times, so I don't have enough experience to draw conclusions. Overall, the map isn't bad, but it has much more randomness and luck compared to TC3. The advantages are quick learning, everything is easy and simple, you play with what you get.

Therefore, it's better to play the more balanced Arena 2.4, which is clearly an improved version of the fifth arena, where blue can immediately think about which artifact sets to choose while red is still making its moves, and you can also level up 2 heroes to level 15, so that if one option fails, you can try to develop the second one as needed.
The map is attached; information about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N2zzUODaCc
There is also a special version of the 2.4 map for HotA...
Important: you need to play according to certain rules. http://h3.ligaheroes.pl/forum//topic/8498/

Hello everyone, please help me understand:
The Phoenix, under the Berserk spell, didn't attack a unit below it that was standing next to it, but instead flew one tile up and attacked two units. What could be the reason for this behavior?
We were playing a TC3 map under HD+ (latest version for both), with the SuperPack_Rus 1.5 plugin enabled. We also disabled the "Tournament Rules" option.
