Posts from Scenarios for Heroes of Might and Magic III maps.

I recently looked through the entire section and noticed that everyone is posting maps for Heroes of Might and Magic 3, but no one is posting scenarios for them (unlike Heroes of Might and Magic 5). And that's a shame. I propose the following in this thread: 1. Post scenarios for already created (your own) maps. 2. Post ideas that you were unable to bring to life or don't have time for right now. 3. Offer advice on completing unfinished scenarios, if needed. Welcome: 1. Scenarios with humor. 2. Campaign scenarios. 3. Description of the planned or created map (its terrain). The main rule: ideas expressed here can only be used with the author's permission. Plagiarism is bad, ladies and gentlemen! The goal of the thread: to develop the game Heroes of Might and Magic 3 by creating new maps based on ideas (parts of an idea or the entire plot) presented in this thread. I'll start (as is customary): Once, I created an XL map with a Dungeon. The terrain was a beautiful stranger in a short green dress with a low neckline. She was sitting on a brown sofa in a room, on one of the walls of which hung a painting depicting (or rather, trying to depict) either the father of this lady, or some evil creature, or just a blurry stain. I didn't spend much time on the Dungeon itself - I made something that looked like a dagger piercing a heart. The scenario was as follows: somewhere there is a queen (computer-controlled) - a widow, and at opposite ends of the world are four kings (players) who are just waiting to lay their sweaty hands on the queen's delicate body. Between the kings and the queen are two other kings (computer-controlled) who do everything they can to prevent the other four from marrying, because they themselves have such a desire, but the queen refuses them. And in the Dungeon sits a devil (computer-controlled) who plans to kidnap the queen and defile her in the most vile way (what a jerk!). At the beginning, all four single kings send messengers, who invariably reply: "I will marry the one who gets me a Ring of Life, and the Ring of Life is no joke (deliver the artifact to the castle - victory). You have to work hard to get it." And so the comrades tried, completing some random missions, or engaging in... in messages scattered on the map, advising how best to lure the stubborn queen - what a find! This is a simple plot. Currently, I am trying to create a similar map. Write yours.

While participating in the "Best Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Map of 2007" contest, I immediately started thinking about creating a campaign. I chose a plot that would be related to the previous campaigns from Heroes of Might and Magic 3. In the campaign, I used the map "Unclean Alliance." I was considering a large campaign. I named the campaign "The Rise of the Apocalypse." Basically, the plot is as follows: the evil Devil Apocalypse, with his huge army, is advancing on Erathia. As usual, the heroes need to destroy him once and for all. But Apocalypse has a powerful army (+ four Horsemen), so the heroes will have to unite again, and they will also have to unite with a Necromancer. There are only a few main characters:
Dionysus (without selfishness) - Knight.
Nikolais - Mage.
Richter - Barbarian.
Ivanestus - Ranger.
Venus - Necromancer.
Apocalypse - Demon.
Famine - Heretic.
Pestilence - Heretic.
War - Heretic.
Death - Heretic.

For now, I have chosen these characters for the campaign. The campaign, like most others, will be built around a common enemy. If you have any ideas for the plot and characters, please let me know.

As I understand it, the first four (or five?) heroes will play the roles of opponents to Apocalypse and his minions?
I must say, without any sarcasm, the idea is brilliant!!!

What's the problem? You've made a good start!

The premise is good. It just needs to be developed and expanded upon. If needed, I can help.

XEL, please post updates in this thread. We'll help, as a group :)

Denminator, what other materials do you have besides the general plot? You don't have to post the map.

Well, I had an idea that fifteen years have passed since the last events (Armageddon's Blade and everything else). Queen Catherine of Erathia has died. There is unrest in the country. Apocalypse is taking advantage of this. While the unrest is ongoing, Dionysus, the general of the current army, finds a will stating that he will become the king of Erathia.
In the meantime, Apocalypse has created a huge Hellish army and is heading towards Erathia. To defend Erathia, the royal army is not enough, so Dionysus calls upon Erathia's old allies: Ivanestus, the high elf of the Sylvan faction, Nikolaus, the mage of Bracadia, and Richter, the barbarian of the Sharp Claw tribe. But Venus, the mysterious brother of Sandro (yes, that Sandro!), will also join them. He wants to destroy Apocalypse for deceiving him and making him give up the hard-earned Armageddon's Blade...

By the way, regarding the Blade, I haven't chosen the artifact yet.
Also, I'm only planning to create the campaign. After all, you can't create a campaign without a main idea.

We should try, let's say, a card-based (or mission-based) approach, i.e., come up with a plot for a single map. I think it all starts with Dionysus, with how he comes to power. It's typical: on the map, there are more than 3-4 computer-controlled opponents (+ about 3-4 neutral castles) - rebels, Dionysus must unite them under one rule. At the same time, he has the task of obtaining a component of the artifact (which one? if it's Erathia, then maybe an angelic alliance?). Victory is achieved by capturing part of the artifact (or delivering it to a castle). You can add a couple of side quests. Aha, and rescuing his friends from the dungeon :) What do you think? On this map, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to introduce Apocalypse and his minions. We can do that on the next map and subsequent ones. Each map - one opponent and one hero.

Could you create a mission about Venus's past? Although, that could be enough material for an entire campaign. Well, I was just suggesting it.

I have a couple of questions.
Let's say I created one map, but how do I make it so that all the experience and spells carry over to the next one?
Is it possible to add voiceovers for the players in the prologue and epilogue?

Wow. I have a map (though it's a bit rough) where Death needs to defeat the other riders:
"The Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse have become too powerful due to constant wars and decided to overthrow the main one - Death. Death needs to take matters into his bony hands before the Apocalypse itself gets involved."
After reading Pratchett, I had the idea to create this map. If it's needed, I'll share it. Size L, one level, the action takes place on an island; you can edit and finish it yourself.

Thank you, I will try. :smile49: :smile49: :smile49: :smile12: :smile12: :smile54: :smile54:

Denminator, in the map, you need to place a marker for the desired hero. If you changed the hero's name or something else, do the same in the next campaign map and place a marker for the modified hero; if I'm not mistaken.

Dear SandroXXL, I have downloaded your map. I haven't fully explored it yet, but I can say that the map is good:smile24: :smile24: :smile02: :cool: :cool: :smile54:

Great map! It could be adapted for an RPG. And another thing, I don't understand why Necropolis starts with 100 Griffons instead of 100 Liches or at least 100 Zombies?
