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!

Send maps to me via PM or email them to joker-dima@yandex.ru

At the request of ***JOKER***, I am posting his map. The only change made is that the map was converted from the AB version to SoD, and a win condition was added: obtain the artifact "Might of the Dragon Father." In my opinion, it's a very good map.

I agree. It's a good map.
I'm very glad that the skill of mapmaking has grown so noticeably!
Respect!!! :) :) :)

Creating a good map is a very long process. It’s no coincidence that the best maps were created so long ago, and people still play them.

I also started looking for something from my old collection to adapt for the contest.

I posted 3 editors for cartographers, including WoG!
Just don't experiment with it too much!

Hurry up... time is running out.... Today is actually the last day of the competition...
But I think it would be worth extending the competition until September 31st.... This will most likely be the final deadline, as the competition has already been delayed....

Okay, judges... here are the criteria for evaluating maps. Since the first participant has already submitted a map, I think it's time to evaluate it....

P.S. Lexa, the map is very interesting....


Joker, let's discuss all comments ONLY after the tournament is over! So that everyone is on equal footing!
