Posts from Paragon 2.0 map – walkthrough. Auto-translated

Why were modest stats and level chosen instead of a smaller number of creatures? Epicness isn't about quantity, but quality. Numbers do have a certain impact. In my opinion, nightmarish stats can effectively mask even the image of a "blonde elf girl." Still, in 2.0, there was a lack of a stage that required sacrificing almost all resources. Glad that's already difficult.)

If you're talking about my post about Ashwing, then 55 is a perfectly normal level for a hero-armor specialist. Regarding stats and troops, it was important for me to somehow reduce the overall rate of player progression – to have less mana and to make the hero-intellectual archetype meaningful, so that there would be a difference between regular and expert difficulty levels. Plus, it's not just their absolute value that matters, but also their relative value compared to ours. That is, the enemies always outperform us in stats and troops. At the same time, I didn't want the final battle with Ashwing to be just standing behind a power field, so he's stronger than us, but not by a factor of 10.

The author, Anton Alexandrov, created an entire group to spread slanderous information about other authors. There's a truly absurd and ruthless argument happening right now. Currently, funds are being collected for Paragon 3.0, which is in the alpha version. However, the development is being artificially prolonged (Paragon 3.0 was promised as early as June 2019) in order to collect more donations.

Proof?! I'm almost certain there isn't any and there won't be. The group was created by the author relatively recently, primarily to provide people with official information from the author and to refute the increasing number of rumors, gossip, and fake news. And the communication there clearly shows the author's level of rationality and the irrationality of some of those spreading misinformation.
Donations are purely voluntary and personal; no one is demanding them. Go cry to your mother; you won't find like-minded people here. :) Come back when you mature.

defamatory information about other authors.

Calling a thief a thief – is that "defamatory information"? Grigori Minchev, by the way, never removed the Chinese map under his name and never gave a public explanation, even though he had more than enough time to do so. Instead, here and on heroescommunity, we only see users with newly created accounts who are trying to mislead in a one-sided manner when it comes to Minchev.

I completely agree with Rins's assessment of this character. It can only be described as a disappointing letdown.

fantastically pointless and ruthless argument is happening right now.

It seems you want it to be that way because, in reality, it's about a local idiot who was banned and is now trolling from other accounts, stealing other people's photos for avatars. The only form of support he received was mockery and bewilderment.

Anton is still being very restrained. In my opinion, he's even too restrained, because I, for example, would have been handing out bans left and right a long time ago.

Why did Anton delete my post?! The group is called "Paragon - map for Heroes of Might & Magic 3", not some Metaverses or whatever. It seems like Minchev has claimed Paragon for himself, and so on. Every time, it's some kind of nonsense, and I don't think that's why we're here.

Was there anything valuable in that post? Point it out if there was. :) If not, then it's his right. As is his right to decide what should and shouldn't be in the group.
I'm saying it again: you won't find like-minded people either there or here.
And why do you call the author "Antosha"? Are you close to him, or are you *** decades older than him? Or is it just because you're an ill-mannered young man?

The experiment, so to speak, was a success. The "schizo" got upset and immediately ran to report my map under my nickname. How predictable =)
Notably, another no-name with a newly created account came to respond to my post. I wonder how they reproduce?

Update. Link updated.

Update 2. The map was promptly removed at my request. For those who are unaware, the heroes3maps website, due to its poor functionality, allows you to upload maps under any nickname and with any date. This can be used for nefarious purposes by various unstable individuals. Be vigilant.

Lviv - he's not like that, he's concerned about something else.

I suggest Marmot moderate the section more strictly than I moderate my group ��.

At my request, the map was promptly removed. As you know, the heroes3maps website, due to its poor functionality, allows you to upload maps under any nickname and with any date. This can be used for nefarious purposes by various unstable individuals. Be vigilant.

I wrote to the admin of this site, and he acknowledged that there is a problem and that he is going to fix it.

Alisia, She was removed a few days ago at my request, or at the request of the person who uploaded it, which is more likely. Although I wrote to the maps4heroes admin back in mid-October about the true authorship of this map. Or will you now bury your head in the sand and claim that it was never there? Unfortunately, the internet remembers everything; you can read the discussions here and here, where people with newly created accounts are defending Minchev in a one-sided manner, including references to this map (Alice in Iceland).

By the way, congratulations on another blunder. I, too, know how to take screenshots and can do so in advance. Here is an old post, and here is how it looks now; the information is slightly different, isn't it? I repeat - you, a well-known map maker from North Macedonia, are very predictable =)

I will quote Rince from his article:

the question is, why does Minchev need all this? It is a question that I would like to get an answer to directly from him, and not from his anonymous "defenders". Or at least his view on the situation.

There was enough time to respond; instead, there was an influx of fake accounts on both forums (here and on HC), which appeared like mushrooms after the rain; it is enough to mention the antics of one person whose name starts with "M" and ends with "v".

I wrote to the admin of this site, and he acknowledged that there is a problem and that he is going to solve it.

The site has now closed the possibility of uploading new maps, after someone very actively spammed the site with other people's maps under my nickname.

P.S. If the group of anonymous defenders of the well-known map maker from North Macedonia continues to want to defend their client's reputation, I suggest moving this to another topic, as it has little to do with the Paragon Walkthrough, if anything at all.

I always thought that boots simply aren't found in skeletons. True, PhysMig states that level 2 artifacts can be pulled out; gloves definitely drop and they are also level 2, but I haven't pulled any boots from skeletons—maybe my sample size is just too small.

There is a save with boots in a skeleton and 4 archs in the Dragon Utopia

Regarding the role of elementals in 3.0: I don't know what it will be like, but based on 2.0: I passed the Ashwing's Trial M. Why wouldn't the One and Only, in his Boundlessness, grant a new Overlord with his own trial? The subjugation of pure elemental forces... Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Thought. And Magic... true Might. Goodness, to which all dark forces would unconditionally submit. Sorry, a bit off-topic, but I don't want to register on the forum.

Failed to capture a Castle. The guard won't let me pass until I kill Eranicus. I haven't encountered Eranicus (as I understand from the editor, he was supposed to be released by the Incinerator from the Graystone Castle when he chased after me).



And here's where I need to lead him, but then it's unclear where to get him.


Failed to pass the guard; it requires a Sphere of Suppression.


It's unclear how to get through the bushes (I need Naerod, but the editor says Orion).


Also, it's unclear where to get the demons for the secondary quest.

Could it be that I have to guard the refugee camp? Or revive them with the help of the Lord of the Abyss...

A strange witch's hut.

But according to the editor, there's property there...

Throughout the entire game, PLAGUE dropped only once, and that was at the very end...

It seems that more than half of Dundee’s videos are no longer available on YouTube. Does anyone have an archive of these videos? I’d love to watch them; I couldn’t create the map myself, but I’d be interested in seeing it.

Yes, it was completed on stream almost a year ago. Notably, the playthrough was done in no-save/no-load mode (except for non-game-related reasons) and without replaying battles (an additional clarification for HD+).

Is there a way to watch the private videos?
