Awesome! :smile20: I'll post a picture of one of my heroes tonight (map Fastrivers: http://heroesportal.net/maps/search/fastrivers), the entire army consists of neutral creatures (diplomacy is key), and legions of crystal dragons were fleeing from me, kicking up dust. For the first time in my experience, I had to kill 180,000 angels. It was something else.
Here's my hero (correction: all of them, except for the demons and battle dwarves. I bought them in captured castles).
Xaart, if you want, I can give you a map where the starting hero has expert diplomacy, and 90% of the monsters around, of all races, want to join your army, and you have a choice: to take them or drive them away. You only have to fight some of them. When I decided to take a break, I started playing it. I don't know what's ahead yet; according to the description, there should be a "good" war. And at the beginning, the player can choose a race and has the opportunity to level up.

I would like that. Is it a Polish map?

No, it's French, but translated into English. The main thing is that it's not Chinese. ;) Downloaded from celestialheavens.com; I used to find a collection of maps translated by them there, but I can't find that page now, so I'm attaching an archive with the original map and the translation. "The Forces of Evil" / "Les Forces du Mal".

Interesting. I just Googled to see where the "Zemsta Mutare" map is available. As I expected, I only found links to heroes3.eu and our forum, as well as my recent comment on YouTube. But unexpectedly, I found this map on a website I hadn't seen before: http://www.heroes3maps.com/ I found out that it is only 32 days old. The creators write that they want to collect the largest collection of custom maps for "Heroes 3". It says that they have a total of 12047 maps, including maps in different languages, including Russian and Chinese, and some of them were recently uploaded to HeroesPortal. There is a convenient search and information about the maps. Registration is not required to download (I checked). There is a correctly displayed Polish description for "Zemsta Mutare", which I translated into Russian using Google:
The board is extremely difficult; it is the last, decisive board for victory and proving that Mutare is the ruler of the Dungeon. To win it, you must kill the Dragon who captured the Castle and killed Dace. Seers and their good rewards will help you win the board. The continuation of the map description is in the 1st day of the game.

Spent three hours battling Encounter on the Ray of Light map. Overall, the battles here are like Metatax + random elements :smile35:

As it turns out, I have this map in French. I think I even played it, but I don't remember if I completed it successfully or not. I'll try again. Don't even mention the Chinese ones)) Those maps are just insane; respect to all the guys on the forum who completed them. I couldn't complete a single one.

But "Wayfarer" was actually made by a Chinese person. And I can still beat this map (I'm almost at the end). All the tactics in the battles are quite traditional.Marlo_Stanfield
Spent three hours trying to beat the Encounter on the Ray of Light map. The battles here are like Metataser + random :smile35:
Surprisingly, I managed to defeat this enemy without any outside help or hints; this battle didn't drive me crazy yet. The right tactic soon became clear: you need to use the obstacles and do it in the way shown in your screenshot. Of course, it was easier for me because I fought Encounter later and with a larger army. It's convenient that he stands still in the field, and his army can't increase. And yesterday, I accidentally saw a recording of your battle with Gold Keeper, and what do you know: you used the clone bug! :) Awesome!

Surprisingly, I managed to defeat this enemy without any external help or hints, and this battle didn't drive me crazy. The right tactic soon became clear: I needed to use the obstacles, and exactly as shown in your screenshot. It was easier for me, though, because I fought the Encounter later and with a larger army. It's convenient that he stands still in the field, and his army can't increase. And yesterday, I accidentally saw a recording of your battle with the Gold Keeper, and what do you know: you used the clone bug! :) Awesome!
I've seen how to kill the Gold Keeper the normal way, but that would require me to buy troops to break through the antimagic garrison with phoenixes, which means wasting money and resources. The last time I bought troops extensively was before King Darius; after that, I only gathered creatures from external lairs. In general, the map is poorly designed. The treasure hoard in Rampart is built too late, so even with my ultra-economy, I'll have to spend several months gathering money and resources. As an alternative, the author could have placed a Pandora's Box with resources behind a guard, requiring the player to kill Overlord Hex before the sixth month. That would be fine. As it is, I'm not sure I can break through with 600 archers. And then, it seems, I'll have to spend many months doing nothing :(
If the crashing issue is related to an enemy hero's stats exceeding the limit, the SoD_SP plugin will help resolve the situation.
If it's a plugin for HD-Mod, unfortunately, it won't work; I've already tried. HD-Mod wouldn't install on my game; it required Service Pack 4, which doesn't exist. I really want to play with better graphics and more features, but I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall Windows:(.
Have you tried older versions (I don't remember if I gave you the links)? Here are version 2.98 and version 3.07. They don't require installation; you just need to extract them from the archive into the "Heroes" folder and run them. I recently installed the latest version, and it's even more convenient. I also sometimes use a plugin that prevents the plague from lasting a month and monsters from appearing in inappropriate places.

Overlord Hex can still be defeated on the Ray of Light map on the 5th month with only 600 Archons. But the battle was incredibly tough. I barely managed to win by the skin of my teeth. There were only 10 Azure Dragons left, and they were dying with each hit, so I had to attack with a clone at the beginning of the round, then wait and attack with the main stack, and then attack with a clone again. I almost finished one attempt, but I didn't leave the right stack for the end, and it was the Wizards. They were standing on the corpse of an Azure Dragon, so to resurrect it, I had to cast Forgetfulness on them, slow them down, and wake them up. And guess what spell they cast after being awakened? Of course, Haste! And they rushed in and died on the Archons. Damn, I was so angry! I hate these bastards :smile35: :D

Thank you, Marmot! I'll try it tonight. I've already tried so many versions, and I'm always afraid that the game will crash; I'm getting desperate.
Overlord Hex is still defeated on the Ray of Light map on the 5th month, with only 600 archons. But the battle was extremely difficult.
Congratulations! And why isn't your army visible in the screenshot in the lower right corner? For me, this battle remains, perhaps, the most agonizing of all. I will hardly forget how it was (I keep screenshots of the process with details). It's funny that when I finally succeeded, the last enemy stack was exactly the Wizards, but I managed to finish them off without losses. I also wanted to tell you about 2 unsuccessful attempts when I almost succeeded, but something went wrong. The first time, I didn't make any mistakes, but I got too carried away with casting destructive rays on enemy units and other spells, and I didn't have enough mana left. As a result, when it ran out, the enemy was able to defeat me. He had only 149 Crystal Dragons left. And the second time (oh, it was epic!), the failure occurred when the enemy had only 3 units of mana left. What would you, Heroes players, be able to do with that much? But the AI managed, showing true cunning! It cast teleport on a blinded stack standing next to the archangels, which I was using as cover, and moved it to another location, and then attacked with its Azure Dragons. Having no way to defend against them, the archangels soon perished. And Nemezida, compared to Overlord Hex, is the same as the T-1000 compared to the T-800. :smile47: In the battle with her, "mass production of bricks" is inevitable. :D

Why can't I see your army in the lower right corner of the screenshot?
I don't know, and for some reason, the hero's stats are also displayed incorrectly there. As far as I remember, my army consisted of 598 archons, 1 azure dragon, ≈ 700 fanatics, ≈ 1000 snipers, and ≈ 150 champions, plus war machines. Marmot
And Nemezida compared to Overlord Hex is like the T-1000 Terminator compared to the T-800. :smile47: In a battle with her, "mass production of bricks" is inevitable. :D
Well, the battle with her will definitely not take place on the fifth month :) In general, there is a big difference in who you fight at what stage. In my case, the battles with King Darius on the third month and with Encounter on the fifth month were more difficult than Overlord Hex. For cases of this type of random-dependent battles, I advise you to play with controlled randomness from HD+, then you can plan fear on enemy creatures, morale on your own, which may turn out to be vital in the first rounds of the battle.
