Good afternoon. There is a map in Heroes 3 called "Croatia". I'm in the dungeon, and I've captured everything there. Now I don't know how to get out of the dungeon; I can't find the exit. Has anyone played it? Maybe someone can give me a hint. Thank you in advance.

Downloaded and checked. All two-way and one-way teleporters are located underground, there are no whirlpools, and no subway either.
If you started in the Dungeon and there isn't a single Castle above, the map is unplayable.

Hmm... Perhaps the map is simply unfinished: in the northeast of the surface area and in the east of the underground area, there are strange wastelands and a river that suddenly ends abruptly. It seems the author didn't test the map. :( Also, considering that all the teleporters are located in the dungeon, it's impossible to move up/down, which means victory is impossible. You could probably finish the map yourself (which would require some work!) to be able to complete it, but you'd still have to start over. Or just give up...

Passing through... a well. It takes a while, but it works. :D

What other well are you talking about? Please explain in more detail! Are you sure you're talking about "Heroes 3"? If so, which mod are you referring to (because this feature isn't available in Shades of Darkness)?

Sorry if I posted in the wrong place...
Today, I had the same question as the original poster: "how to complete the 'Croatia' scenario."
Version Heroes of Might and Magic 3.5: In the Wake of Gods
Is this version from a different thread?
Unfortunately, the original version 3.0 didn't launch on my OS, so I couldn't check.
In version 3.5, repeatedly "drinking" from the magic well leads to random results, including a tunnel to another well.
After spending two months :D of game time, I finally made it to the dungeon.

So, it's WoG. That's what I thought. When the map was created, WoG probably didn't exist yet, and that wasn't the author's intention. He's just a lazy one.
The original version 3.0, unfortunately, didn't launch.
Well, if you managed to launch WoG, you can try launching it from the same folder using Heroes3.exe: that's the original version. By the way, it's good that you wrote in this thread: I was just remembering this map the other day (I didn't remember the name) as a prime example of why it's necessary to test maps. I started writing an extended chapter about testing maps, returning to the guide for beginner mapmakers. I think I'll post it later.

I don't understand what the problem is. In that version of the map, which is available on heroesportal.net, the Dungeon gate is present both in the Dungeon and on the surface.

I also don't have the transition, just like the original poster. The file is from 2008.

Nasos, another problem in this case is the lack of specifics. To put it bluntly:
Ivan: I bought a loaf of bread at the store, and it turned out to be stale.
Peter: That's strange. I went to my store, bought a loaf of bread - it's fresh.

The topic starter needed to either provide a link to the download page for his specific version of the map or attach the map itself. Otherwise, it's not surprising if these are two different maps with the same name. And in any case, it wasn't right to release an unfinished product. And this is by no means an isolated case. No one has counted how many unplayable maps or outright garbage are in various collections...
I searched in online collections: there is no such map on CelestialHeavens and Maps4Heroes, but there are as many as 2 on HeroesPortal: http://heroesportal.net/maps/search/Croatia Reading the comments immediately points to a problematic map:

Nahim-HOMM: Couldn't find the entrance to the Dungeon
Guest: couldn't figure out how to get to the underground, maybe u could mail me
