Dear VDV_forever, I forwarded the map to your inbox about a month ago. Perhaps the map didn't reach you, as the table shows an older version. Anyway, I'll post the map in this thread to be absolutely sure.

This oversight has been corrected!

Good afternoon, dear mapmakers!

1. Important announcement!
Now you can see all the submitted maps that have been accepted for consideration on the first page of the contest!
Please send all your comments and suggestions regarding the maps to the judges via private message. Remember that a map can be resubmitted!

2. Denminator and Fenix have been added to the list of participants (Fenix's map has been accepted for consideration).

3. Snegg and Vanechka, your maps cannot be accepted for consideration yet, as not all the rules have been followed!

4. Congratulations to one of our judges, Kolb@zzera, on his recent wedding!
I wish you all the best in your life together with your wife!

5. After the results are announced, an additional poll will be held to determine the best map based on audience votes. An offline tournament will also be held on the winning map!

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Dear VDV_forever, I would like to urge you to be more constructive. I have looked at the maps and see that the hero names have been changed, and yes, mine are different. In principle, nothing is impossible, and I can redo it. But let's look at the rules you posted in the first post and compare them to what I submitted (from memory):
1. The map must be at least 72x72? I think so.
2. The map must be made by me personally? Believe me, it is.
3. The map must be in any editor except WoG. Well, you know, my second map is no longer in WoG (thank you again to Ataman for helping).
4. The map must contain the nicknames of forum users. Well, firstly, it does, and secondly, it contains nicknames, i.e., two of them.

You know, in my opinion, I have fulfilled the minimum requirements for the map, and "minimum" refers specifically to compliance with the contest rules. To be honest, my interest here is competitive, and I would most like to hear feedback on the map itself.

But still, I would like you to provide more details about what you specifically meant regarding my map. You can also send it to me in a private message.

P.S.: GUYS! I NEED A MAP PROVIDER!
for this one (as a reminder):

:D

Good day, dear map creators! Important note! During the review of your maps, I encountered the following problem: The maps contain errors (quest-related) that the editor displays. It takes a lot of time to analyze the quests to understand what's going on and whether there are actually errors. I suggest submitting maps along with a text file that describes the quest storyline (a list and the order of quest completion).
Vanechka;106196

4. The map must contain forum users' nicknames. First, it does contain them, and second, it contains nicknames, i.e., two of them.

You know, in my opinion, I have completed the minimum program for the map, and "minimum" refers specifically to the part about following the contest rules. To be honest, my interest here is competitive, and I would most like to hear feedback on the map itself.

Ideally, the nicknames of all heroes who participate in the map should be changed; otherwise, the map will receive a lower score. That is, maps where all the characters have their nicknames changed will be rated higher. According to:

3. The judge has the right to:
- Deduct points for moments not included in the above points if this is mentioned in the summary;

Your map has been accepted for consideration.

P.S. But, you still have the opportunity to improve it. After all, you can submit the map again!

I'm laughing so hard. Guys, :
Laugh as much as you want, but I think all the contestants know where the winning map will be used, and they all have a general idea of what the format should be. And the requirement about nicknames is mandatory. Is it really that difficult for you to change the names of the heroes???? Or is this a matter of principle????

Yes, he was even given a link where he could find nicknames, and everything was explained to him in detail, as if he were a child. They told him, "Here you go, enjoy," but don't get too carried away... :)\ And is it really that difficult for you to respect the people who are on the forum? And it's unlikely that anyone will change the rules because of your prejudices; if you say something good, you'll be praised, and you can take a cookie from the shelf! But your mockery is just plain foolishness.

Ley, Adelaide,
What kind of "pies" are you referring to?
RULE: a competition for the best Heroes of Might and Magic 3 map of 2007 has been announced. Maps created in any editor of the third game are accepted, except for Wog.
Message from Kolbazzzzzera:
I am a judge, and I can deduct points for the fact that not all hero names correspond to the nicknames of forum users.

Ley, Adelaide, read my message again, I will even break it down for you without emotions:
- yes, I am a principled person, BUT:
- the hero names in the map can ONLY be changed in the SoD editor, and it is NOT possible in "Armageddon's Blade" and "The Shadow of Death".

My question to you, Kolbazer, and VDV: why announce a competition for a map in any editor of the third game, if the first two are clearly not suitable? Do you, Kolbazer, have a god? Then let's pray to him. And if not, the question, Adelaide, is for you:
how easy is it for you, without reading my message and without trying to understand its main idea, to spew high-flown phrases like "is it really that difficult for you to respect me and all the other forum users?????"

and to you, Ley, I also have a question:
what is this you're saying, that you chewed it up for me and put it in my mouth???? Ataman helped me convert a Wog map in Blade. DELETED!//VDV_forever by the way, the question to Adelaide applies equally to you.

BOTH:
why are you writing in the "best Heroes of Might and Magic 3 of 2007" topic if you don't read other people's messages?
CREATE A SEPARATE TOPIC "Oh, how wonderful and highly moral Ley and Adelaide are".

Deleted. WARNING! The next attempt will result in disqualification from the competition!// VDV_forever

Added 22 minutes ago
[/U]By the way, it can be interpreted as a bug in the portal:
there is no button to press (like inserting an emoticon) - and the coveted message appears:
Is it really that difficult for you to respect the people who are on the forum?
P.S.:
I found, by the way, an antique shop and bought a real SoD... now you're all in trouble:D

Deleted. Warning.// VDV_foreverAdded 5 minutes ago
sorry, I'll continue:
let's say that Snegga needs to be reprimanded for something. Please underline the appropriate one:
1) "it's just your words"
2) "it's your point of view"
damn, I'm laughing again:)

Snegg has been disqualified from the competition for both swearing and rudeness, as well as for disrespecting the rules of the competition! // VDV_forever

There is reason and logic in your words. But everything seems to be done in a harsh way, with a whip in hand... For every binary (logical) flaw of the opponent, you kick them in the face and say, "You're wrong, you made a mistake, so take it." The direction of movement seems justified, but the way to achieve the goal is inappropriate. This is not good, not good...

Giving advice is an ungrateful task, but still, try to apply a different tactic to justify your position. Normal people - and there are overwhelmingly many of them here - are capable of heeding sound arguments; they don't need to be told twice. You just need to convey your thought to them, and this doesn't always work

Dear Vanechka, there is no need to react so strongly to the posts of both forum members and administrators. This can create enemies for you. Also, your posts containing profanity and other violations of the rules of www.heroesworld.ru have been partially or completely removed. Now, regarding your question about the rules: 1. The versions of Heroes for which contest maps are allowed were ADDED by me solely for the sake of the mapmakers who do not have COD. (Don't forget that many offline Tournaments are held specifically on the COD version, and the annual Best of the Best tournament is held on any version except WOG). 2. If you are converting from WOG to COD, why couldn't you: - rename the heroes in WOG before the conversion? - Download h3maped.exe (2MB), H3bitmap.lod (107MB), H3sprite.lod (63MB) - buy COD - ask a friend, acquaintance, or even a judge to rename the heroes to the ones you planned. (Send a text document with the renaming along with the map). I am sure that you would not be refused in this noble request. 3. It is always better to discuss such things in private messages, rather than to have unpleasant arguments on the forum. 4. Those who do not agree with the rules do not participate. 5. The rules will not be changed during the contest! P.S. Any issue can be resolved peacefully, without scandals and swearing. Let's not turn this topic into a circus. Sincerely, VDV_forever

To participate in the contest, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules below:

1. The map must be at least 72x72 in size (preferably with a Dungeon).
2. The map can be created in any editor (except WOG).
3. The map must be created by you personally.
4. The map must contain heroes with the nicknames of forum users.
5. Send the finished map to the email address VDV_forever@BK.RU, or post it in this thread

Ivan! You signed up for the contest – which means you fully agree with the rules!!! If you don't agree, what was the point of signing up?
You created a map! This is not an easy task. Will you invalidate your work by not changing the heroes' names?
Come to your senses:smile15: :smile01:

Here, by the way, I've reworked my first map. The archive contains two identical maps, but the "cover version" includes nicknames of forum users:smile41: ... yes, I bought Sod for myself... And a few words about the map. It's an XL, two-level map. The story: It seems that Crag Hack has allied himself with the necromancers, learned necromancy himself, and, as usual, set out on a campaign. But then Crag disappeared, and no one has heard from him. And so, Kilgor heads to the borderlands of Crag, but there's no one there, everyone has died out... So, he captures the citadels and decides that he needs to attack someone and also look for Crag. About the gameplay: The necromancer, Moandar, with a bunch of liches and the Cloak of the Necromancer King, blocks the way to the large world from the citadels. Kilgor defeats him, and all further reinforcements from the citadels must be sent through his lands, and with a certain probability, you can "run into" him, so to speak. If you don't use the avtosave spell, Moandar can make your life difficult. And then, through Inferno, you break into new lands, beat up enemies, run away from some of them for a while, and as you progress, the necromancers gain more freedom and begin to compete with you in capturing lands. Then you find Crag Hack, who also knows about necromancy, you capture Shalatur, the city of elementals with the Grail, and then you finish off everyone on the map... something like that. Again, you can probably find a way to prevent Moandar from reaching the first Inferno, and you can complete the game, but it won't be as interesting. My advice is to leave the ship in place when you attack the Titans and land through the border gate on land. He, Moandar, will only pass through the gate on a ship, because he hasn't visited a tent. And I almost forgot - VDV, can two maps participate in the contest?

There is only one map in the archive, "Retribution". The map is once again adapted for WoG:(

Now that's more like it! Well done!:cool:

Alas, but only one map from one participant takes part in the contest!
However, I still advise you to post all your maps in the corresponding thread for Heroes 3 or 3.5 maps.

In the near future, all maps on the forum will find a new life!;) .

Respectfully, VDV_forever
