They haven't been made yet =) THEY ARE BEING MADE... feel the difference ;)

Seriously? Well, yeah, I probably seem like an idiot :o, but I only learned about all these cities yesterday. And there aren't any of them yet?

Nope... Bastion (the Egyptian city) and Cove are in the most advanced stage of development. The Russian translation is also being added... I don't have exact information about the others. But you can find official previews of all these cities (there are links to them somewhere here) - and see the degree to which they are completed.

The Bastion is likely almost finished, but they are keeping it under wraps for now.

The Fortress is probably almost finished, but they are keeping it a secret for now.

And that's right, it comes standard with Heroes 3.5, but since Heroes 3.5 isn't finished yet, that's why they're not talking about the city. Although, it would be nice to talk to them on the forum about how their work is progressing, what's ready, and what's left. Many people are tired of waiting, and we hope that the last part of Heroes 3 will live up to expectations (or maybe it won't be the last, who knows what the Heroes team has in mind:D).

Here's a question: which cities are you looking forward to? I'm looking forward to Haven, Kremlin ("Russian" city), Forge, Bastion, Cove (pirates), Sanctuary (Cult of Baal), Grove (pseudo-nocturnal elves), Rampart (city with a celestial aesthetic), and Asylum (dark elves). I'm most looking forward to Haven and Forge.

I'm looking forward to all the pre-rendered maps, especially Haven, Rampart, Fortress, and Grove... it will be interesting to see what's on Forge).

and what do all these cities want to do in World of Xeen?! Or is half of it just fantasy?

it is planned, but it is unknown whether that WOG will be released...

It's hard to say when the fortress will be ready. It seems that almost all the graphics were completed about a year ago, but it turned out that testing takes much more time than development...

How are things going with the Haven? How much is left to do? What's the progress like?

There is still quite a lot left to do, but the work is in full swing, and testing is also in full swing :)

By the way, it won't be possible to create so many cities in Haven... there's a limit on the number of creatures... something like 256... so I'm more than sure that some of the cities will be downloaded separately, and it won't be possible to have all the cities at the same time (I know this information from Michanica; you've probably seen his scripts on some websites: Vial of Life or something like that... and some other ones...).

It is not yet known whether there will be a limit on creatures in 3.59, and in general, not much is known about it. hippocamus.forum24.ru - here is the address of the forum where players will communicate using Delphi... This will provide a lot for modding. Moreover, you can add many cities there... In general, a lot... Development has already begun; if you are interested, visit the site. The project is called "Russian Heroes" (and there will also be a lot of surprises for mapmakers).

The limit of 256 creatures has already been overcome. Using a script and the !!UN:C function, you can substitute any defense value during the game based on its name, instead of the value that should be displayed. There can be 42 stacks on the battlefield – therefore, 42 different units are more than enough to implement an infinite number of… After all, it is impossible to see them all at the same time :)

Personally, I would like to see the following structures added as soon as possible: bastion, cove, harbor, and fortress. The "Forge" doesn't really appeal to me, and it's not something I need. As for the other cities, they seem to have been neglected.
