Where can I view the map ratings? Auto-translated

Where can I find a rating of the interestingness/difficulty of maps for Heroes 3 and 3.5?

Are there any generally recognized maps?

There is no rating. I can recommend many things based on difficulty and how interesting they are. If you want to test how good you are as a strategist in Heroes, play the maps and campaigns by Grigori Mintchev. If you're looking for something interesting with a good storyline, check out the maps by Timothy Duncan (a classic that's been somewhat forgotten).

Where can I download them?

Here is Grigori Mintchev's website. It contains maps and campaigns.

You can find other maps in the author's profile. But these are some of the best.

I checked out maps by these authors and played them for a bit. I didn't like them much.
I love strategizing in Heroes, replaying battles over and over again, etc.
But I wouldn't want that to come at the expense of the game's aesthetic side.
The map should be beautiful. It shouldn't have identical objects stuck on it and square-shaped continents. So, to rephrase the question: where can I find interesting and beautiful maps?

Then I strongly suggest that you play this: /topic/2287/

It's a map where you have to replay battles 5-7 times. At the same time, it’s beautiful and interesting. The best of the challenging maps I’ve ever played.

Here is a challenging campaign for experienced players. In the first two scenarios, it might be difficult to complete within the time limit. The remaining scenarios feature strong enemies. However, the campaign isn't particularly impressive in terms of its overall presentation. :smile51: :smile24: :smile31:
