Since you're discussing maps here, let's talk about mine! :)
Here it is: /topic/at/1403/

One of the best maps I've ever encountered.
Are there any other maps created by you?

Hi, I read your comments on the maps… Try playing mine – I posted it just yesterday, and I made it myself. You don’t need to enable quick battle mode, and you can explore everywhere… in short, I tried my best. (newpor.zip)

When viewed in the editor, the map seems quite good! However, a question immediately arose about its purpose. In the editor, it says that red, blue, brown, and green are for players, while the rest are controlled by the computer. So, is this map for Multiplayer? I rarely play large maps online; I wanted to try it in single-player mode. Hence the question: who should I start as? Red (by default), or is it worth trying other colors too?

I'm flattered, thank you. :) I haven't made any more – I simply don't have the time... :(

Do it...

You can play as any color – they are all supposed to be equally balanced. I personally played as all of them, and everything seemed fine.

I am moving directly to the "Clover Kingdoms" map itself, kindly provided to me
by Sir Demyan. I completed this map on "The Shadow of Death," and I wish the same for you.

Oh, I almost forgot, here is the map itself:
Let's all download

this very map

It's a good map.
But why not a word about the map's author, FireCall, and the fact that it was made specifically for an offline tournament held on the diaspora website about 6 years ago!!!?
And who is this Sir? :eek:

From VDV_forever
My apologies, even the best of us make mistakes:) . Sir Demyan is simply a wonderful person!

What does everyone think about the First Blood map? Maybe I'm late with this question, as the map is awesome and I assume it has been discussed many times. It's the only map I didn't manage to beat on my first try.

Listen, comrade Radik. The only map I can't beat is First Blood 1.9. It's just incredibly frustrating. Please tell me how you managed to complete it, and I'll be very grateful. I think it's unlikely that anyone will beat this map on their first ten attempts.

I think it's unlikely that anyone will beat this map on their first few tries.

Comrade Malysh. You're right about the frustrating moments. I completed this map a long time ago (I think it was in March) and I don't remember all the details or the map version. I beat it on my third try.
Here's what I remember:
- the most difficult part is surviving in the first few months (until you defeat the undead);
- I abandoned the Citadel castles and fled north with Dessoy, after first learning some magic;
- with the help of what seemed like a useless skill like Keen Sight, I learned Restoration and, I think, Blindness, and things started to improve;
- at the end of each day, I made saves and used them to make sure that Gunnar went to the Citadels and not to the Angels;
- one of the key roles is played by Inferno (or rather, the castle gates);
- and of course, the battle with the last hero (in principle, it's not particularly difficult) - there are two options:
1) fast-forward the days and build up your army;
2) engage in terrorism - attack with a hero and one Archangel, cause an explosion, and run away, and do this until you weaken the army (I think I killed all the Champions, Medusas, and Minotaurs), and then attack with your main forces. This option is for a speedrun. I don't remember exactly how long it took me, but it was something around 240 days.

Dear forum members! Is there really no one left but Malych to say something about the aforementioned First Blood map??! In my opinion, it is currently the most difficult and interesting map. I even think that anyone who has completed it can boldly call themselves at least not a novice in Heroes (the third ones, of course), and those who managed it within 10 months are pros.

P.S. Dear VDV_Forever and AmberSoler, I would really like to hear your comments:)

P.P.S. To those who haven't played it yet, I strongly recommend it. You won't regret the time spent.:) It would even be a good idea to organize Tournaments on this map.

P.P.P.S. Once again—I am new to this portal, and I haven't registered on others at all yet. If all of this has already been discussed, please let me know.

A tournament on a map that cannot be completed in half a year! :) You must be joking... In my opinion, if the map record is more than a month, then it's unsuitable for a tournament. The exception is the trial Best of the Best tournament. And only because it's a trial... :) I hope everything will be different in the future...

Because the essence of the tournament itself is to study the map, make a rough run, and achieve a good result through reasonable optimization. That' same the main feature of offline play. But if you no longer have the strength to optimize the map after the first run, then it's not a tournament, but a lottery... :)

I understand. Well, I said that the person is new and doesn't know much. Okay, if the tournament is out of the question, then just play for fun, although for some, this map only causes swearing :D

Listen, Radik. How did you manage to complete it, and in just 240 days?
1. What difficulty level were you playing on?
2. How did you move Dess to the Archangel castles?

Added 3 minutes later
I don't care about any tournaments... I play for fun. Many times, feeling like I was winning, I would skip a lot of turns so that the computer could develop and put up a real fight. And trying to complete it in a shorter number of days – I was doing that a year ago. (but in principle, it's a good indicator).

I found this map, but it's version 1.3. Where can I get version 1.9?
