Posts from Question about the map "Empire of the World".

There’s a map for the third installment of Heroes of Might and Magic, called Empire of the World (in English). You can only play as Knights there. But everything is so well thought out that it’s breathtaking. However, there’s one bug. There’s a place on the map where four heroes are standing – the god of fire, the god of water, the god of earth, and the god of air, when viewed from the map editor. But in the game, the god of fire disappears somewhere. And according to the map’s scenario, you need to defeat him, otherwise you won’t be allowed through the gate. And there’s no other way. Has anyone played this map? How can I fix this bug?

Post your map here, and we'll take a look and try to help.

The Empire of The World II

I checked the map. For me, the God of Fire doesn't disappear. And on what day, at what moment, does this happen for you?

He's simply not there when I first approach the location where he should be. I don't remember the exact day – if that's relevant, I can replay and check. I've looked at other forums, and no one else seems to have this problem. Maybe it's time for me to reinstall the system :(

P.S. What are your impressions of the map? :)

In this map, the author provides many hints at the very beginning. He also describes the bugs: on the second and third days, you need to check if the God of Fire is still in his place (this place is visible on the right side of the map), and if he is gone, you need to start over. On my second attempt, he didn't disappear. But the second bug is worse... After the 12th month, the map simply starts to freeze. This happened to me on the 16th month, and it's unclear how to progress earlier: killing the God of Air with his skills, full magic, and legions of archangels...

I had really bad luck on this map. I was following the scenario, killing everyone, and trying to get to the portal that's on the water (top right corner), but then a unit appeared there. I can't attack it with a ship, and it's blocking the way...=( I'll have to try again from the beginning.

I'm stuck on this map and don't know where to go next: I defeated the fire god, got to the island, and Merlin appeared. I can't defeat him, and I don't see any reason to do so yet. I sailed further, defeated all the dragons, and found a treasure. What's next? Anyone who has played this map, please help. It's an interesting map, and I want to continue playing.

I have the same problem with the map "The Empire of the World II". I've already given all the wandering heroes a beating, but the heroes that I need to defeat don't appear. They're not there at all. Maybe you can suggest what to do. I need to defeat Robin Hood, King Arthur, the God of Water, and someone else.

I have the same problem with the map "The Empire of the World II". I've already given all the wandering heroes a "Dryndule," but the heroes that need to be given one don't appear. They're just not there. Maybe you can suggest what to do. I need to give Robin Hood, King Arthur, the Water God, and someone else a beating.

The Water God is behind the teleporter near your castle, and Robin Hood is on a ship. Pay closer attention to the details on the map. The map is good, to put it mildly.

How do I prevent it from freezing?

Question about The empire of the world II: where can I get 4000 wood so that the Mongols will let me attack their Khan? It's been 3 months in-game, I've given everyone tasks and explored everywhere, but I haven't found a wood source. Do I really have to gather it manually? It seems a bit early to fight for the teleport with air units, and I haven't been given a Berserk:smile32:
My apologies, I understand now, there's a passage in the forest for ninjas.

Guys! Question about Empire of the World 2. Do I need to give the Horn of Plenty to unlock access to the white tent (top right corner of the map)? I've searched EVERYWHERE, and there's no horn. Does anyone know where it is?

I've searched EVERYWHERE, there's no Horn to be found, does anyone know where it is???????

The editor should help in difficult cases! And this is definitely one of those cases: you can't see the Horn because it's cleverly hidden behind a mountain (I really hate these "hide-and-seek" games)! Without giving away the coordinates, I'll hint: it's in the south, to the left of the stable and the sign that says you need to swim (there).

The Hell map. Not in terms of difficulty, but in terms of how tedious it is to play. It's not a strategy game; it's just one long, monotonous quest. Everything boils down to finding a hidden passage, artifact, or event. There's nothing else interesting about this map. The battles, especially after obtaining the vulnerability medal, are nothing but a bore.
P.S. Regarding the game freezing, starting at a certain point. This is not a bug of the map itself, but of the heroes. On practically any map where there are large armies and the game lasts for more than 10-15 months, you can encounter this. Without going into the reasons, I found a solution. Using a debugger, it's easy to see that the program enters an infinite loop in two places when the game freezes. If you "nop" the conditional jumps that are used to exit the loop at that moment, the game will continue to run without any visible problems. In any case, I haven't noticed any deviations in the gameplay. You can, of course, patch the executable file on the disk in advance, but I prefer to patch only the memory when the game freezes.

medstrax, thanks for the information! I think we should tell baratorch about this: he includes fixes for various Heroes bugs in the HD-mod, maybe he can fix this one too. Besides, the original executable is not modified; instead, a custom one is launched, and in version 3, it's patched directly in memory.

This isn't a strategy game; it's just one long quest, and a very monotonous one at that. It all boils down to finding a hidden passage, artifact, or event. There's nothing else interesting on this map. Battles, especially after obtaining the vulnerability medal, are nothing but boring.

I completely agree with this point of view: I don't like such maps myself (to put it mildly, I absolutely hate them)! :smile51: :smile18: However, they are designed for a certain type of person - and such people exist. Well, I prefer strategy games!
