Posts from A map worthy of professionals!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen! I would like to present to you the War of Legions map, which I found online a long time ago and which, without a doubt, deserves the attention of professionals. It is XL in size and designed for SoD 3.2+. Its features include: - extremely high density – there is very little free space on the huge map, a huge number of artifacts, quests, interesting events, and unique features; - all 8 races are represented, and each has its own bonuses; - monsters (as the name suggests) are present in stacks in very large quantities, so you almost always have to fight with intensity; - despite all this, the balance between the races is very well maintained – I would only make a few adjustments. I think everyone will be interested in playing it solo against 7 AI opponents, but I think we would get the real thrill if we found a way to play this map online – it would be a truly historic battle. I look forward to suggestions from those who are ready to participate. P.S. I recommend playing the map a few times with AI opponents first to appreciate the variety of options!

I'll give it a try, play, and then give my opinion.

Simply an excellent map! Everything is well thought out, down to the Pandora's boxes (one box contains 2000 pixies and another contains a similar amount of other small items). It's the best map I've ever played! I recommend it! (I played as Fortress):smile14: :smile49:

map is a masterpiece!!!! one of the few!!
I don't know how you played as Tower, the computer really lags (purple) because of the one-way portal!!!!
There are some minor flaws in the landscape walkthrough.
Question to the author:
1. On WoG, how do you defeat 50-100 Azure Dragons???
2. How do you defeat such huge garrisons in the Dungeon??? Also on WoG
3. And how can you reach level 40 for the Seer's Hut???? Personally, I couldn't with my companion (I played for a very long time, even leaving the computer opponents for last, just defeating neutral creatures. It's more interesting to fight them!)

I played as Swamp
And my companion played as Rampart.

I tried playing it... The map is very well thought out (although I haven't finished it yet - I'm talking about the part I've seen), and in the part I've seen, it's quite good! Why didn't I finish it? I started playing as the Swamp faction... The start is easy (the main thing is to get Vistan for the start - it's much easier in the first 1-2 weeks!). But then the map glitched when I went into the dungeon, and it crashed whenever I attacked any of the underground monsters... I started playing as the Fortress... The start is more difficult than with the Swamp... And the development is also slower... I haven't finished it yet either - but I've always liked maps with surprises and hidden "goodies" and passages ;) :smile23: So everything is good! The map reminds me of the unforgettable Podarok2001:smile02: I'll share my impressions when I finish it...

Playing as Tower is simple. In the second or third week, build at least the Naga upgrade, then go to the Dungeon, take a Knight with 10 Titans from the house, go through the one-way portal, and defeat the green player in 5 turns. It's all simple.
Regarding the Legions, I'll try to insert a screenshot of a battle in one of the Pandoras. I lost very little. I also fought a hundred Crystal Dragons (somewhere in the middle of the map; they were guarding a portal). I won almost without losses. Everything was planned to the last detail. At the end of the game, 4000 harpies attacked me; I upgraded to two swords and defeated the remaining computers)):smile14:

In my opinion, it's quite good: at the beginning, the balance of power between monsters and the contents of chests is well-displayed, BUT it's still weak – it's too easy to play, and besides, there are only 2 factions, and the opponents are already worn out... although it could be the other way around if you play as another faction, although it was said that the balance between factions was well thought out... I played as humans – maybe it's easier for them, who knows, but I won't play it a second time. In short, in my opinion, this map doesn't deserve to be called a "Map worthy of professionals!!!"
although I don't consider myself a "professional," the map is not fully finished!

Arseniy, I think there is a difference between playing WoG with a commander and playing SoD without one.

brovach here is my version of a "map worthy of professionals!" and its name is "Heaven vs. Hell" - perhaps it's not very well designed and it's not so packed that there's nowhere to stand, but it is complex, or at least it seemed that way to me when I played it (it was sometime in early 2009), then I only passed it on level 3 (shame on me). On levels 4 and 5, the computer beat me like a child, maybe now I could improve my result... but I won't try.
Try it and let me know!, but be sure to let me know!!
Here is the map http://rghost.ru/1007714

I played the map "Heaven vs. Hell," and I have a good impression of it. The storyline is very interesting, but it's not very challenging. The main heroes in the campaign just stand around, and the ones that move around are easily defeated. I practically completed it with a small army, using resurrection magic...=)
And after I got the Earth magic book, there were no more problems.

I recommend playing the maps: Alexander The Great, Ivan-Krest, Son and Wonder-Yudo.

Share your impressions.

just a reminder: I played it back in early 2009!!! (naively thought I was playing well...) - that's when it seemed to me that the map was "impossible"... xD
P.S.: have you ever played on impossible difficulty?!! - ...what if...? =)

Of course...=)
Well, it doesn't really affect the initial development, there's plenty of everything around. Try playing my maps, they're really cool.

Give them to me first!
