The map is boring – the AI opponents are just standing around.

Thank you for your comment. It's a pity that there are no specifics. If you have any suggestions, we will be happy to listen to you in detail and consider your comments and suggestions. :smile01:

We will all be happy to listen to your detailed feedback and suggestions. :smile01:

I have a suggestion. Please create some kind of ultra-hyper-super-advanced multiplayer map. Or do you only work on single-player maps?

I completely share your desire to play such a map. :smile13:
Unfortunately, there is no ready-made version of such a map right now, but there is one joint project. Its completion will not be earlier than next year. :smile14:

I completed the map in 184 days. I have no complaints, except for one observation: it says that Lucifer is weakened – this is unnecessary; he is too weak. The troop increase is very large (especially archangels and dragons), there are castles and ramparts + Halo = many snipers... the main thing is to start accumulating money earlier using the treasury... In general, there are many troops, but Lucifer is weak.

I only play Heroes 3. I'm glad that someone continues to create maps for it, and of such excellent quality, so thank you very much!)

I completed the map in 184 days. I have no complaints, except for one remark: it says that Lucifer is weakened – this is unnecessary; he is too weak. The troop increase is very large (especially archangels and dragons), there are Castles and Ramparts + Helo = many snipers... the main thing is to start saving money earlier using the treasury... In general, there are many troops, and Lucifer is weak.

Thank you for writing about Lucifer. I was asked to weaken him. They assured me that he was disproportionately strong. Although I myself killed him with the initial number of troops. But I gave in to persuasion.:rolleyes: In general, I will try to achieve balance in this matter. Here, as always, a difficult task arises: to satisfy the interests of both strong and inexperienced players. Which is quite difficult.

Of the Heroes games, I only play Heroes 3. I am glad that someone continues to create maps for it, and of such excellent quality, for which I thank you very much!

You're welcome. :) It's always nice to hear that.:smile26:

Question for the map author. What is the minimum time it takes to complete the map? This is not an idle question; I found a bug (or rather, a workaround) and would like to know if this was intentional or not.

What exactly do you mean? -), write to me in a private message.

A question for the map author. What is the minimum time it takes to complete the map? This is not a trivial question; I found a bug (or rather, a workaround) and just want to know if it was intended or not?

What exactly do you mean? -), write to me in a private message.

Let me explain in more detail. The first time I played through the map, I wanted to complete it in 66 days. I played for a while and realized that it wouldn't work.:smile35: First, there is no Dimension Portal spell (i.e., it's not possible to quickly get to the desired location), and second, there are places where you can't cast spells properly during a battle (i.e., on cursed land), and accordingly, you have to spend time building up your army. So, I thought it would take about 100 days, or at least 111. :confused: Around day 80, I defeated the entire computer's army (except for Lucifer and one Castle with Titans). I went to check out Lucifer and realized that the problem is not only the number of troops, but also that you need a hero with maximum stats. :eek:
In general, the situation was this: one of my heroes was running around trying to level up to Lucifer's level, and the other six of my heroes, around level 25, were just hanging around. I thought and thought about what to do with them and came up with an idea. I have the Armageddon Blade, after all.:smile10: I created a chain of five heroes. The first attacks Lucifer with one Phoenix in his army, the first hero moves, casts Armageddon, and then retreats for 1000 gold. Then, he recruits in the Castle and passes the Phoenix along with the Armageddon Blade down the chain. And in this way, Lucifer's army took about 3000 HP damage each day. I figured that if I did this for 20-30 days, all that would be left of Lucifer's army would be Azure Dragons. Around day 106, I was told that Lucifer had built something. Well, I thought, okay, let him build, it doesn't matter to me. And two days later, I came back, and Lucifer met me not in the Castle, but in the courtyard with 40 Earth Elementals and that was it. As a result, in my first playthrough, Lucifer was defeated by an army of one Phoenix with the help of magic. This was not very satisfying, because I was preparing for a big and long battle (the hero was also ready, with stats close to Lucifer's, and there were about 400 Archangels, not counting the other troops). I even decided to wait a bit for him to go back into the Castle, but he didn't. Therefore, I suggest removing the Tavern (and the ability to build it) from Lucifer's Castle.
By the way, the second time I played through the map, I managed to complete it in 66 days.:smile44:

In general, the map is very good. Thank you very much for the many interesting hours spent playing it. :smile02:

A_l_e_k_c, to avoid such an easy victory, simply place Lucifer in a town and set the following in his properties: *range of action - remain stationary*. Or make capturing the town - Lucifer's lair - the victory condition. And that's it!
By the way, no one mentioned *66 days*; the author clearly wrote *“666 days”*! :)
And in general: why go to such lengths? :) If you add up and get the total HP of Lucifer's army, divide by 3000 - *how many attacks will it take to defeat him that way?* He will also replenish his army!

Overall, it's a very good map. Thank you very much for the many interesting hours spent playing it. :smile02:

A_l_e_k_c, I'm glad you liked the map. As Marmot mentioned above, the map is designed to be completed within 666 days. After this time, Lucifer will have an army that is many times stronger than any other army the player has at that point. Because of this, further fighting will be pointless. For this reason, I didn't set any other specific minimum completion time.

I will edit the part where Lucifer stands outside the castle and stubbornly refuses to go inside. Thank you for your detailed feedback. I hope other maps won't keep you from leaving comments and suggestions. Good luck with your playthrough.

Guys, you're saying you play as Castle (blue).
But by default, on this map, I was offered to play as Rampart (red).
Is that how it's supposed to be?
Also, when playing as Castle, you can choose Sir Mullich, which would be an unfair advantage.

In the advanced settings, you can choose the desired castle from the two possible options on this map.

So, can you play as both, and would it be equivalent?

Can you choose Mullich as a hero for the Castle faction?

Cas, as one fellow recently said (though, it was about something completely different): everything that isn't forbidden is allowed! :) Whether it's Müllich or someone else – you still need to know how to play!
