Posts from The Hero's Path

The licensed version 3.0 doesn't recognize maps... (I tried a complete removal, clearing the cache, and reinstalling the Gold Edition - without success).

Great map, but it's too difficult for me, even on "Warrior" difficulty. I've been stuck in the starting zone for 8 weeks (i.e., "days") and haven't managed to get past the forest to the west. Maybe you could suggest a development strategy? I spend all my money on the army right away, and I sell the resources I collect from monsters and from the mill.

Fierro, the beginning is the most challenging. If you manage to break through the forest along the road, it will get easier and easier. On the road from the first town to the second, there are only two enemy groups, so you can focus on these battles – use the potions you find, rest in the tavern (if you rent a room in the evening, you can sleep there for 3 turns, gaining a total of +30% health). It's best to sell resources and artifacts early on to invest in your army. A couple of Paladin units that heal each other can hold the line well, and archers are also good at dealing damage.

Hello everyone! Huge respect to the author for creating this map. It's essentially a separate game based on Heroes of Might and Magic V, so the two years spent working on it were not in vain!
The game didn't crash once, and I didn't encounter any problems. I did struggle with the pyramid for a while, so I went to the forum to read how other people completed it. It turns out I was missing the Twilight Dragons – I needed five of them in a row...

armenfin, the Twilight creatures should be at coordinates 67, 21; they probably haven't gone anywhere.

Sorry, the dragons were found at the specified coordinates)). It was just hard to find dark dragons in a dark dungeon.
But in general, if a map remains interesting for several years, is actively discussed on the forum, and is viewed thousands of times on YouTube, then that's already a victory!

armenfin, it would have been even better if it had been released about 5 years earlier, when the fifth installment of Heroes was still at the peak of its popularity. But even now, it's not bad.

Jack_of_shadows, surprisingly, the popularity of the game isn't decreasing; on the contrary, many Heroes forums are experiencing an increase in activity.

I have a problem.
I completed the mission to rescue a group of dwarves on the island.
I finished the mission, took the cloak and gold from the dwarf.
And now he came out of nowhere with a huge army, and my army can't withstand his attack at all.
What should I do?

Pukich can be outrun if you have enough movement points. Otherwise, you'll have to reload and avoid that path for a while. And be more cautious in the future, as the location of the attack will change periodically.
If you have a way to strengthen yourself, you can reload and prepare for the encounter in advance.

I had a similar problem during my first playthrough))) I had to start over, and I couldn't escape. But it's okay; the playthrough was enjoyable. Overall, I liked the map because of its RPG mode without too many bots; you can play at your own pace. I've never understood players in turn-based strategy games who say, "I finished the map in a week or a month," etc. There's no accounting for taste, but what's the point of playing for speed? You won't be able to explore the entire map and understand the author's idea, in my opinion...
And another thing - this map has a serious side effect. After such an intense scenario, other maps lose their appeal. I've downloaded so many different ones, but none of them are quite the same.

what is the point of speedrunning?

It's the only objective indicator of the quality of a playthrough that you can later brag about.

So, not exploring the entire map and not understanding the author's idea... imho...

Speedrunning has a subcategory called "speedrunning with all quests completed." Well, when it's possible.

Right now, my morale is 5 and luck is 4, but at a certain point, they inexplicably stopped increasing. Is this part of the scenario, or could there be another reason?
Otherwise, the map is just amazing; I don't even know how to express it!

Hello. Can you tell me how to complete the mission "Incident on the River" with water elementals?

pROCKurator, do they not drop in battle? It's not intentional; you're just unlucky.
NIK21, I answered in a private message.
