Posts from The valley of secrets

Hello, my dear friends. This map took a long time to create, as it's my first one, designed for 6 heroes. There were many revisions, and I tested it thoroughly. This is the Russian version of the map. Installation - In "My Documents," find the folder Might & Magic Heroes VI --> Scenario, and place the *.scn file (which is the map) in it. If you like the map, please give it a thumbs up; I won't be offended. And please leave a comment. Read the description carefully!

Map description: Long ago, when dragons lived everywhere, when the valor of knights echoed through the ages...
When the world was a beautiful and fairy tale, this story happened.
In the central lands of the kingdom, mysterious events began to occur...
Livestock disappeared. Caravans and entire groups of militia.
The worried king tasks you with investigating this misunderstanding.
You gather a squad of trusted warriors and mages...

Long time ago, when dragons lived everywhere, when valor of a knights responded through the ages...
When the world was a beautiful and fairy this story happened.
In the middle of the kingdom began to occur mysterious things.
Disappearing of cattle. Trains and whole groups of militia.
Worried king gives you a task to investigate this misunderstanding.
You collect a warband from famous warriors and mages.

Note!

Do not play as the 5th player! It's an AI. And everything related to it is designed for the AI.
When choosing a faction, you are choosing an affiliation based on the heroes, not the castles.
The castles are heavily fortified. See the screenshot in the first message.

Congratulations on your first map!

I only have one question: the letters "M" and "S" can be used in parentheses in the topic title, corresponding to the names of the game types - multiplayer and single-player. What do you mean by the letter "L"?

L means large :) You just need to define a rule somewhere, otherwise it will be unclear. I might adjust the example. I'm also glad about the map. What's nice is that, unlike the developers' maps, it seems to be more detailed, judging by the screenshots.

Winner, thank you!)
I finally managed to finish it. It's a very time-consuming process in Heroes 6.
Maybe because it's the first one for them.
Well... I set the size to "L".
But it also works for "M" and "S".
I'll fix it now, I'll write "M" + "S".

Or should I not edit it yet?)
My map works both in multiplayer and single-player.

And the gameplay seems to be good too...
Player 5 is not weak; he's a PC player, and I've made him stronger.
If you're playing with four players, for example.
Be a little more careful about eliminating each other in the beginning.
And if there's only 1 player, it's easier to play as that one player.
But you can also play as any player, switching from 1 to others.

Couldn't you just set up the desired players and assign the "Computer only" function to that player? (Scenario > Properties > Players > Type)

antonag07, you can.
I also configured it for Computer only, but on PC, with 5 players, it always becomes neutral.
Try it.

No, although in "Heroes of Might and Magic VI" you can play any map in both single-player and multiplayer, your map is still designed for multiplayer, so I'll adjust it accordingly. And since the size is now unrestricted, it's better to indicate the numbers in parentheses. Over time, we'll also learn to understand the size "at a glance."

Of course, my friends, you are absolutely right. Just by eye, maybe. For example, 512 by 10, what is it? +++ Regarding the map, write everything. What, in your opinion, is wrong? What is good?

Hello everyone! Could you please tell me where to put the map file so I can play it?

It needs to be archived into an .orc file, apparently. Using a special utility from Mamaich.

Hello everyone! Could you please tell me where to put the map file so I can play it?

In My Documents, find the folder Might & Magic Heroes VI-->Scenario, and put the *.scn file in it. That's all.

Ranmaru Rei, yes, all maps are placed in it, Scenario
Nothing needs to be translated!
The file is ready!
Dynasty Scenario File (.scn)
I received a report that the map crashes or freezes.
Please let me know who experienced the map freezing.
Also, does the single artifact near the first player's town load correctly?

And also, there are many random artifacts on the map.

Friends, say something...
Who won, who lost?
Did you play single-player or multiplayer?
