2. Each judge is required to give an objective evaluation (summary) for every map. In this evaluation, judges must specify all pros and cons of the map and provide a conclusion.
3. The judge has the right:

- If there are errors that make the map impassable, deduct up to 20 points per error;
- If there are errors but the map is passable despite them, deduct up to 5 points per error;
- Deduct points for aspects not included in the above points if this is mentioned in the summary;
- Return the map to the tournament participant to fix errors and shortcomings.

An offline tournament called "Best of the Best - 2" will be held on our website for the "Best Homm3 Map", i.e., the map that takes first place in the contest!

Dear contest participants, please take the following into consideration:
Since submissions will be accepted until November 20, 2007, it is recommended that all participants submit their maps by November 1, 2007. This will increase your chances of winning (because the maps may contain errors, and you will have more time to correct them and resubmit the map). Also, you will make it easier for the jury members to review the maps (agree, if all participants submit their maps on November 20, the jury members will have to work hard to review so many maps and give an objective assessment).
Thank you for your attention and understanding.

Sincerely, K0Lb@zzeR.

P.s. I wonder who is stronger, a butterfly or a sniper? A butterfly seems stronger... :D

I apologize for the off-topic, but nevertheless.
Seeing the topic about the butterfly, I remembered a case from my life. Once, I was playing Heroes 3 with a friend (of course, with beer and snacks, and on one computer). I think my friend was going crazy when I attacked 70 Earth Elementals with 12 butterflies :) The battle lasted for more than an hour (my hand almost gave out), and I won.
P.S. Now my friend refuses to play with me anymore :)

The question is: what does "contains surprises" mean? You're really intriguing me :)

I'll say this: the surprises will be different from those in the first Best of the Best. And there will be at least 2 of them. That's all I can say for now. :)

AmberSoler;107739

It's elementary - eliminate a legion of dendroids with a single butterfly to get out of the spawn area. :D And on the other side of the spawn area, there's also a way out. And there's a legion of dendroids there too - you can eliminate them with a single sniper. Isn't that a surprise? There are battles for every taste! :)

There won't be such surprises, don't scare people:D

P.S. It would be better to submit a map to the contest.

Ley;107741

You quoted strangely :D, but never mind, if that's what you meant :D, although I doubt it - it's better if VDV says what he meant, or at least hints, because a surprise should remain a surprise ;)

The surprises will remain surprises until the opening of Best of the Best 2 :smile16:

P.S. I will be available on August 25th, no earlier. Please contact the respected judges of the contest for all questions!

Sincerely, VDV_forever

I made this map a year ago. It's not my best work, but you have strict requirements regarding versions – I like maps with ERM scripts made in WOG editors, and that's what I usually do. And here's the only one from SoD :). If you just play it, and even if it doesn't win, I would really appreciate it if you could send me a small comment about the map itself. Thank you in advance.
P.S. If it's mandatory to give the heroes the names of forum users, I will change them. Just in case, the original is also in the archive.

Brief description of the map:
Size 72*72. Version "The Shadow of Death". Designed for four human players and one computer player. I tried to make the design more beautiful. The plot is that the winner will be the one who either defeats all enemies or finds the Grail first and delivers it to a city that still needs to be captured. The plot itself is not original :). If I could upload a map from WOG with ERM scripts...)

1. Since your map will participate in the competition, you will definitely receive comments ;).
2. You can upload your maps in a special thread dedicated to Heroes 3.5. You can easily find it by going to the Heroes 3.5 section ;).

Good luck.

P.S. I would advise you to make the Dungeon more detailed ;).

A new column, "Date of Change," has been added to the participant table. This is primarily for the convenience of the judges. Next to it is (0), which means that the map can be resubmitted after the verdict of all 3 judges and the correction of all shortcomings.

P.S. In the near future, a column with information about the number of downloads of a particular map may be added to the tournament participant table!

Dear contest judges! Please accept the map from my friend PrutkoFF. He hasn't registered on the forum yet, but he will do so this evening or in the coming days. The goal of the map is to collect the artifact of the Angel Alliance, the pieces of which are distributed among other heroes. A barbarian is also hunting for the artifact and can appear from a portal near any city.

Kamikaze, thank you, but I have already fixed it. I will now rework the map a bit and upload it, hopefully, this will be the final version. Initially, the map was designed for a duel, and everything was done to ensure rapid development, but following Ley's advice, I will now increase the number of monsters and add some text. There will also be a new global quest in the dungeon, and the reward will be a large amount of experience.

Initially, the map was designed for a duel, and everything was done to ensure fast development, but following Ley's advice, I'll increase the number of monsters and add some text. There will also be a new global quest in the Dungeon, and the reward will be a large amount of experience.

The main thing is to make sure the map is playable and that there are different variations for completing it! So that we all get completely confused (if, of course, you win 😉, which is what I wish for you) - "how can I complete this map faster and by what route?"
You've already done a good job with the map's plot and meaning. :)

As soon as your friend registers on the forum, we will immediately add him to the list of contest participants;)

Good day.

I downloaded the maps again to have the latest versions readily available. I will continue checking the maps in the coming days.

Ideally, for faster and more efficient communication with the contest participants regarding shortcomings and errors in the maps, the contestants should have an ICQ account. As a member of the jury, it would be much more efficient for me to discuss errors and shortcomings in the maps via ICQ.

P.S. So far, I have found the ICQ usernames of the following forum members in their profiles: SandroXXL, Maximula, Denminator.

Sincerely, K0Lb@zzeR.
