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! :(

really, do you think I remember where I downloaded it from???))))) it was probably 5 years ago))) or even more))

Alexdoublesmile, I'll answer in your style:
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! ;)

instead of making ironic remarks, it would be better to play through the map – it’s really interesting. Otherwise, you might not have enough time, you know, age is a tricky thing…))

It’s better to post here. Why link to the portal? They delete everything that contains HW, considering it advertising.

They remove everything that contains "HW," as if it were advertising.

Who are "they"? Aliens? :) Or the HW administration? Well, it's obvious that this isn't advertising! And, in my opinion, no other site has such a large, well-organized, and convenient collection of maps: more than 3000!
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"...

Doesn't it really matter whether you provide a link or upload it here?)
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.

Scouting on the second hero, it's not difficult to synchronize them. What's the point of loading a skill slot with junk, just for that one moment with the cyclops? Fire is needed for the expert skill "Blind" against story dragons, and air is for the air magic book. Leadership, wisdom, and speed boost I considered self-evident. Regarding leadership with artifacts, I'm not sure if it's critical.

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.

Heh, I also destroyed everyone except the red one, but it took me 5 months.

I apologize, but I can’t understand how to attack the elementals (4000) on the “First Blood” map if there’s no way to summon a boat anywhere. And how do I get through the blue gates to the three castles if the tent is on the other side? Unless it’s by water?

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.

This map, "First Blood 2.4," is just insane! After replaying it about 30 times, I surpassed all my previous results and cleared out the elementals by the middle of the second month with almost no losses. But I didn't realize that I also needed to develop the barbarian lands. So, I completely ignored them and left them to be ravaged, as I was pouring all my resources into the upper part of the map. And I was so surprised when my main hero reached the titans and the green tent... Can someone teach me how to play?:) I don't know where to get the resources to develop both the lower and upper parts of the map and still constantly fend off raids.

in general, there are plenty of resources lying around on the Knight and Barbarian spawns, just enough for their development). By the end of the third week, it is quite easy to build everything necessary in all possible cities for the Haven faction; the Barbarians had a tighter budget (at least for me), although there were also plenty of resources, it was just that to capture all the cities by the end of the second week and not lose the pace of construction, I mostly used heroes in the north, but it is also possible to build everything by the end of the first month, but there is a problem with buying units... in the Barbarian utopia, there were only 30,000 and terrible artifacts, so there was always a shortage of money, and on the first day of the second month, there were already about 65 Angels and about 430 Monks, of which about 200 Monks and 22 Angels were in the hands, i.e., to buy the rest and upgrade them all, you need about 372,000 and 170 gems, so you either have to spend about a week, or go with small forces across the sea... due to the lack of gold.
