Alexdoublesmile and everyone who writes about some map! A big request to you: if you downloaded the map from somewhere or it is available on "well-known" repositories (HeroesPortal, etc.), do not attach it here as an attachment: just provide a link to the page with the map!
In particular, The Adventures of Blademan is quietly located here: http://heroesportal.net/maps.php?search=Blademan Here you will find a description, screenshots, and comments (a whole 1!). And you can download it from there.
In maps downloaded from HeroesPortal, the line at the beginning "This map is taken from the catalogue heroesportal.net" is annoying, which causes the description to "shift" and its ending is lost - and sometimes there is important information! If the player knows where to find the original, this can be fixed, but not everyone is so informed! :(

Do you really think I know when you downloaded it? :) Maybe it was just today? The archive file for the map has today's date, not a 5-year-old date! For maps downloaded from HeroesPortal, the date becomes current.
In general, there's no need to remember or search: it clearly states in the description, "This map is taken from..."!
And in general: listen to your elders! ;)

They remove everything that contains "HW," as if it were advertising.
Essentially: sometimes, someone downloads a map, edits it for themselves, then forgets and uploads it somewhere else. It's important that players deal with the original! I think there was a discussion here about a case where someone distributed a game with already edited story campaigns! :( And then: for example, I care who made the map, when it was posted, and different versions are circulating on the Internet (like "First Blood"). This is a useful habit: when talking about something, name the source. Otherwise, everything turns into a game of "telephone"...

I completely agree with Kostya - if possible, it's easier to download the map directly rather than having to navigate through a link on a website... and if someone recommends it to you, what other comments or descriptions are needed?
And in most cases, the original source is completely unknown. Especially on such large map repositories. If something has been changed, it's clearly for the better...
What is this perversion? :)))
He should definitely have: leadership (starting skill), water and wisdom (walking on water), scouting (to reach the island with cyclops, although you can use 2 heroes with walking on water), logistics (obviously), and then options. You can take pathfinding, or armor/offense. But taking 4 magic skills is definitely not a good idea. 2 elements are more than enough.
6th month, Red destroyed everyone he reached, visited the keymaster's tent, and entered my forest.
And by the way, where can I get 1000 Azure gems?
Sounds just like news reports from World War II.
Excuse me, but I can't figure out how to attack the elementals (4000) on the First Blood map if there's no boat summon anywhere? And how to get through the blue gate to the three castles if the tent is on the other side? Unless by water?
On the Barbarian side, near the Inferno castle, there is a tent where Dess gives the Captain's Hat. Then you need to pass it to some hero, dismiss him, and buy him back at the top. And the main hero must have: Expert Water Magic and Pathfinding.
I've been replaying it God knows how many times now, and I just can't manage to take the Utopia and the hat within 2 months. My biggest achievement was when I defeated the purple player, took the Cloak of the Undead King, then killed the Arch Devils and captured the lower Knight castles. But by that time, the swamp-dwellers and elves were already too much — I had something like 300 Archangels, while they had 1500 Gold Dragons, plus the rest of their troops in the same proportions. Plus, the red player kept bothering me so often that I couldn't be away for long.
