For Tieru, I have a request for you. Could you create an original avatar for me based on my current one? I realized that you are good at working with images!

Thank you. I'll figure out the placement later. Tieru, you know what I just thought about? Maybe we could create something like a mapmaking club for Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Tribes of the East, later on. Because right now, everything is scattered around...
For example, look at this:
http://www.maps4heroes.com/heroes5/maps.php
They've really got a system going.
What do you think about this, friends?
Or should we just leave things as they are for now?

That's a good idea about the club; we could have our own map archive and organize map contests, even themed ones!
And if someone wrote good (objective) reviews for them, it would be even better!

I can (though I don't have much time), but I need an original image, preferably with a higher resolution, and I need more specific details about what you want.

Thank you. I'll figure out the hosting. Tieru, you know what I just thought of? Maybe we could create something like a map-making club for Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Tribes of the East later. Because right now, everything is scattered...)
For example, look at this:
http://www.maps4heroes.com/heroes5/maps.php
They've really turned it into a production line.
What do you think about this, guys?

It would be nice to create something like a map-making group, not exactly a clan, but more like a group. We could use more people.

Mish-gan, I just started testing the map. The scripts are all done perfectly. Not a single curse word. The map is XXXL, so it will take a long time to test. I'll also improve the presentation and maybe add something. I'll send it to you now (within 10 minutes). Please help with testing. Good (objective) reviews are essential. Tieru, let's not make it a clan. Let's make it an order.

Haven... it sounds great :smile20:
And it would be good if, when viewing a profile, it showed the clan to which the player belongs.
It's a time-consuming task; we won't be able to do it in one day; we need to think everything through carefully.

Okay, I think we've made a decision. Let's create an order. We are also slowly starting to work on the charter of the order, its emblem, badges of honor, anthem, and hierarchy (all taking into account the specifics of our activities), etc.
P.S. Mish-gan, did you receive my map by mail? What do you think of it at first glance?

You can also check this out: [CONTEST] "Best Map for Heroes of Might and Magic III" (2009).
/topic/6284/
And get some good ideas. You just need to systematize everything.

I'll take on the coat of arms. I think it will be ready after the weekend (I don't have much time). I'll try to make something original. An anthem is a bit difficult... maybe we should just have a motto instead?

And take some useful ideas. You just need to systematize everything.

I received the map; it’s too early to talk about impressions. For now, I can say that it is large! I will try to give more detailed feedback later, as soon as I carefully review everything!
I have questions (to effectively review and play the map):
1. Is it designed for two players against six AI opponents?
2. On which difficulty level is it best to play?
3. Is the start balanced for any faction or for a specific one?
4. Are there any other recommendations?

Regarding holding the contest, I seem to have figured everything out already. Thank you for the link – I'll highlight the most conceptually interesting ideas from there. But I have a question: does it have a prize fund, and how should we organize it?

The main difference from the proposed concept in the "Best Map for Heroes of Might and Magic III" (2009) contest linked is that not only the jury but also forum members will be involved in evaluating entries! After all, I understand that the main purpose of the contest is not to reward someone but to attract and interest as many visitors to the forum as possible and popularize the game because every year there are fewer and fewer of them until Heroes 6 or a new expansion comes out!

To Tieru: Could you send me your drafts on cups and badges by email? I want to take a look and choose some!

Mish-gan, good evening!) 1) 2 players (Allies) = 6 Power Creatures, 2v1v1v1v1v1v1 2) Can be played on Hard difficulty, or on Easy. 3) Suitable for any faction, but there are starting heroes. 4) I can't say yet. See what errors there are. I might add more scripts... although there are already a lot. The AI doesn't sleep! So, despite having a lot of everything, don't miss anything. The AI takes a long time to make its moves. Maybe I'll reduce it to 3-4 Power Creatures, but I don't want to. The main recommendation: don't look at it in the editor! Please.

Here is a variant of the coat of arms; I inserted the HeroesWorld emblem between the wings. I thought of something else but couldn't come up with anything—maybe you can suggest something. Also, should I put something in the background, or is it better without it? Or perhaps you could even suggest something more original to do?

Tiera, well done) Why OrdeR)?
Why not Orden
And maybe change the wing color to white.
Angel and Dark Wings



Here is more=
Wings Angel - Black & White - Angel wings, white and black


I've picked out a hymn; we'll discuss it later in the process.

Maybe because in English, "order" is the translation of "орден".

A simple literal translation of the word "орден" into English is "order," as in /topic/1248/ :)
Here are a few options with different wings, backgrounds, and without a background; in the first one, I made the wings out of stone because I thought: cartographers => landscape => mountains => stone :rolleyes:
So choose whichever suits you best.

Here is a version of the emblem; I inserted the ХВ emblem between the wings. I was thinking about something else but couldn't come up with anything. Maybe you can suggest something? Also, maybe add something to the background or would it be better without it? Or perhaps you could even suggest making something more original.

Good work, Tieru. I like this version more; it’s stylish, monolithic, and neat!

In general, choose which one suits best.

With these wings, it looks too sweet and childish; somehow it doesn't look whole. But in the first version, I like the background; maybe you could try adding this cloudy background to the emblem I mentioned earlier?
This is just my opinion!
