So, dear Mapp’ers, the time has come to prove who among you is the best.
Application.
Your applications will be accepted in this thread. If you agree with all of the rules below, simply post that you will participate in the competition…
Competition schedule:
Applications will be accepted until September 5th, followed by about a week for map evaluation and winner selection.
Rules for participating in the “Best Homm 3 Map” contest.
The mapper must create a map taking into account the following points:
1) The map should be 72x72 (preferably with a dungeon). If you want to make the map larger, it is not prohibited...
2) The map can be created in any editor (except wog'a)!!!
3) The map must be made personally by you.
4) The map must strictly adhere to the plot (see below).


Participants should remember:
1) If a player submits a map that is not their own, they will automatically be disqualified from the competition and penalized.
2) Maps made in a map generator are not accepted!!!

Map Plot.
Revival (Forum Edition)
The main hero’s (Barbarian – Kilgor) successes were very meager: barely escaping his enemies, thus avoiding defeat, the barbarian led a number of successful battles against humans, having previously concluded a defensive alliance with the swamp creatures. But his forces are still weak… Humans possess the most powerful artifact – the Armageddon Blade; in contrast, Kilgor must gather an equally mighty artifact – “Might of the Dragon Father.” This will not be easy, as its components are scattered throughout the world, and the guards protecting them are far from weak. Will Kilgor be able to cope with such a task?
Attention! Player 1 – red must be a Barbarian! All hero names must be replaced with real usernames of our portal users! Also, replace the name of the main hero – Kilgor.

Task completion:
The main hero must find the artifact “Might of the Dragon Father” and defeat the army of humans possessing the Armageddon Blade.
Judges.
***JOKER***,VDV_forever, Sergh.
Prizes.
The competition will be divided into two parts – directly “Best Homm3 Map” and a contest for audience favorite.
In the first and main competition, the winner will be awarded:
A virtual prize for their avatar, a valuable (real) prize - this could be a Heroes disc, an internet card, etc., an offline tournament will be held on their map, and the map will also be posted on the portal http://www.homm3.net/map_h3.htm.
Don’t forget about the prize fund for the competition – $20!!!
Map Evaluation.

Maps will be evaluated according to the following categories:
1) Map size, presence of a dungeon.
2) Number and, most importantly, quality of mini-quests.
3) Beauty of the landscape and interesting world.
4) Balance (the map should be designed for players of average skill level).
5) Well-thought-out and powerful neutral monsters.
6) Well-thought-out and powerful computer opponents.


An off-line tournament will be held on our website for the “Best Homm3 Map,” i.e., the map that takes first place in the competition!

One question. Where should I send the map? I don't quite understand; can I upload it directly here?
No, I think it's better to send it to me via PM (for those who don't understand - Private Message). If that doesn't work, you can write to my email: joker-dima@yandex.ru...

I don't know if I'll have time to finish the map, but I already have some ideas. In the worst-case scenario, if I don't manage to finish it, I don't think anyone would mind if another good map appeared on the site.

I've already started working on it! Here's a question for mapmakers: where can I find a manual for the editor?

Check the "Help" tab in the editor itself... :) Although I've never used it...

I also want to participate in the contest. One question: why aren't complex maps prioritized? I can create a complex and very interesting map (if I have the time).

I think I'll participate too, but I'm not quite sure what the map's objective will be: collect an artifact, or kill all the enemies?

I will probably participate too, but I didn't quite understand what the goal of the map will be: to collect an artifact, or to kill all the enemies?
The main goal is to collect the artifact, the secondary goal is to kill enemies (there may be many, few, or none at all):D

In general, the map should be aimed at the average player... The maps can be complex, but in moderation... :)

WTF, in the Armageddon's Blade editor, you can't set items as a win condition or in quests. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Yes, only SoD can help here...
But even in Armageddon's Blade, you can make it so that the player collects an artifact, because without it, it will be difficult to defeat the opponent... And you can't set this as a condition on the map...

Guys, especially Leha Punk, please convert the map to the SoD format... and set the victory condition to collect the power of the Dragon Father...

I believe that at least a month is needed to create a quality map:
Firstly, many people work and don't have much free time;
Secondly, the map needs to be tested to eliminate bugs, and that also takes time.

Very true!
And also, why does the entire map need to be drawn by hand? Most good maps were created by refining randomly generated ones.
I don't think anyone can create a good map in a short time, unless they rework some of their old maps for a specific task.

But you can also make it so that the player collects an artifact within the map, because without it, it will be difficult to defeat the opponent... And you can't place it as a condition on the map...

Guys, especially Leha Punk, please translate the map into Sod format... and set the victory condition to collect the power of the Dragon Father...
Slightly off-topic. I've already done it. I translated all your maps into SoD. Right now, I'm working on a map for the contest, and it's progressing well. I should be able to finish it by next Sunday.

This is a clear confirmation that everyone should have enough time to create a map :)

P.S. to Natasha I think that if people really don't have enough time, we can discuss it with Joker.

No problem... the contest can be extended... my friend is currently working on a map... he also doesn't have enough time... but he might be able to finish it by the 15th...

Added after 22 hours 53 minutes
Lеха, listen, can you upload my latest map, reworked for SoD? Okay?
