Axis, do you consider this map a classic?...or am I misunderstanding?...

Yes, I expected that. My tastes are indeed different from others. It's a classic because, as I said, it's purely strategic; there's no plot, and you have to think about every move. Most importantly, it's a classic because there are many such maps. After all, it was created using the map editor and then refined by Grigor Minchev. There were many such maps, BUT this one stands out because it was processed more skillfully by the author. It's immediately clear that it was tested. I can assure you that the visual design is the least important aspect of such maps.

Some of my "old" maps (from the 2004-2005 period)

1. Corsair.
You are an old pirate who has committed a grave offense against the Spanish Crown.
You were captured and would have been hanged if not for the dire situation on several islands in the Caribbean Sea, where hostile states have seized control of the resources. You were promised a pardon if you can capture all the mines in the region within 4 months.
NB. By default, all beacons must also be captured.
An RPG with a clear storyline that influences the strategy.

2. Lazurite. A fantasy tale featuring heroes with Russian names.
The King wants his loyal vassals to defeat a terrible dragon that is ravaging his lands. This monster has been dubbed Lazurite. He is powerful and ruthless. The King has set a reward for whoever defeats the dragon: he will make the victor the heir to his entire estate and proclaim them King.
An RPG with a storyline that influences the strategy.

One of the most challenging maps in Heroes. I'd bet the author created this map inspired by The Lord of War, but they managed to surpass it. The goal of the map is to find the Sphere of Inhibition. You have 504 days to do so. But to achieve this, you need to find powerful air magic spells. In the world that the author wanted to convey in the map, crystals are highly valued because you need to upgrade Behemoths. There is only one market on the map, and it is very difficult to reach. The "Summon Ship" spell is missing, and finding it is the main initial problem. There are many interesting battles, many of which you will have to replay to achieve the best result. Another major problem is killing the Drakonmaster (I've heard this name somewhere before; if anyone knows which map it's from, please let me know). He has 14,000 dragons and a bunch of other creatures, and all his stats are 99. The final battle is particularly interesting, but I won't reveal it. I think everyone should try playing it because there are very few maps like this, and playing through it is a real pleasure. I am posting the map accordingly.

Hello, dear fans of this very challenging and fascinating map! I learned about it here again, read the comments, and it intrigued me! I haven't encountered a map that I couldn't complete yet! So, I downloaded it from this site; there's a link in the map section. If anyone is interested, I can send it by email. In general, I've been playing it for a couple of months now. It took a few tries to develop my hero, but I eventually succeeded, and now I'm in a tricky situation. I have a good army and have reached the island with the Cyclops. As I understand it, I need to go there now, but here's the problem: Dessa doesn't have scouting, so she can't see the island to cross over (((. I don't know what to do. Other heroes can't reach the intermediate island with the signpost. Can you suggest how to overcome this situation, or is the storyline linear, and there's no other way out? In general, share your secrets! I realized that the most important thing is to develop your hero. Even if the opponent has twice the army, you can defeat them with almost no losses. And you need to find magic as quickly as possible! My goal is to find the town portal; with it, I think it will be easy to continue playing! So, join in, let's discuss, and complete it together!!! I'm playing on Impossible difficulty! =)

My first map! Please rate it.

Dear mapmakers! I invite you to participate in the contest for the “best map on www.heroesworld.ru 2007”. The best mapmaker will not only receive prizes but also have their map used for an offline tournament called “Best of the best 2”! /topic/1945/ Sincerely, VDV_forever

If anyone has played it, please share your thoughts. I'm very interested in hearing other people's opinions.

I've been waiting for this for a long time, and now it's finally here. A new map by Grigor Minchev has been released. What I appreciate about this author is that he stays true to his style. As always, the map has a purely strategic focus; there isn't much of a plot. The losing condition is, as always, 12 months, and the winning condition is to build the Grail. You can find the map on the website: http://homm3.nm.ru/index2.html

Here is my walkthrough; if you can’t start, play from here... the plan for the walkthrough is as follows: Dessoy flies to the island with the cyclops, there’s a paladin, so he can find the blue paladin in the dungeon... then to the elves! I just don’t have enough of an army and a hero to go down into the dungeon... I’m waiting for opinions! Kid, respond!!! You’re a fan of this map, right?! Question: how do I destroy the purple faction? I can’t find a way... ((((

Hello!

I'll briefly tell you how to overcome this challenge, or rather, how I overcame this masterpiece. I leveled up diplomacy for the castle hero, gathered an army, accumulated money, defeated Gunnar and another hero who arrived through the portal, attacked the unsuspecting enemy with my entire army, bought them out, and then counter-attacked the Necromancer with the Dimension Door spell. I then bought the Necromancer right there. After that, things started to improve. And regarding scouting, it's quite simple. There's a witch's hut on the map. Just level up any weak hero to expert scouting and complete the quest.
And don't forget to use skilled heroes to learn the Slow and Haste spells, especially if those heroes have these spells as innate abilities.

You've likely played a different version of the map; let me explain why:
1) on the humans' side, only HUMAN heroes appear in taverns! regardless of which enemy hero escaped from an opponent, so there is no way to buy an escaped enemy hero!
2) if you look at my save, you can see that I've been playing for 15 months and have studied the map thoroughly; there are no huts that reveal the map, only huts for capturing heroes!
Furthermore, the main difficulty of the map is that I cannot find any dimensional doors, portals, or even flight! :(
And I've defeated all the strong heroes except for the green one, but I think I'll defeat him too, since my heroes are already very strong—2 heroes level 40! =)
But thanks anyway for the help; please give me some tips, people, we're tackling the hardest map!!! oh right, there is a sunken city there; I'm wondering if it's possible for a book to be in it, or are there only specific artifacts there? I haven't been that lucky... (((

Everything is great. I decided to add a map of my own creation (to play on it for fun)! Don't judge too harshly...

Here are some interesting works that are NOT my creation:
1) Alive Skeletons
Size: S
Number of players: 2
Two-level: yes
Author: Tiran
Two Necromancers have arranged a competition. The one who gathers 1000 skeletons first wins. This map is only interesting in terms of duels. Play with a friend - you won't regret it.
2) All versus Inferno
Size: XL
Number of players: 8
Two-level: yes
Author: DaNick
A huge map where you will fight against other players. There are 3 teams. The first consists of three players, the second of four, and the third has a large number of Inferno castles.
3) Citadel of Death
Size: S
Number of players: 2
Two-level: yes
Author: Dimond
A group of brave monks stood up against the Dungeon. A small but pleasant map.
4) Athlantic Ocean
Size: M
Number of players: 4
Two-level: yes
Author: unknown
Players live on different islands, but that doesn't mean war can be avoided! :)
5) Elf King
Author: VAN
An extensive campaign consisting of 8 chapters. The author fully utilized the editor's capabilities, literally filling all available space with various items, but this does not diminish the attractiveness of the maps. Also, there will be many battles in branched dungeons (I don't really like underground areas), but nevertheless, the campaign will be interesting for strategists and tacticians.
And, of course, if you haven't tried my campaigns and maps yet, then go here. ;)

Especially for Roe+AB, here is a collection of interesting maps and campaigns for Armageddon's Blade and The Restoration of Erathia. Here are the archives: 1) Armageddon - a collection of L and M maps. 2) S-ki - 4 beautiful maps of small size. 3) A Trilogy of Shadows - An interesting campaign consisting of three scenarios. All maps are beautifully designed. 4) Warrior Monk - a story about a brave monk. Consists of two chapters. The maps themselves are based on RoE. 5) Xeron versus Xyron - a showdown in the Inferno style. One demon needs to kill another before he does it to him. The only downside is that everything is in English. To upload maps, click on advanced mode/attachment management.

Name: The Missing Brimstone. Size: M, two-level. Author: KillerBee. What a terrifying map. The player starts in the center of the map, and their task is to acquire the artifact they need. But keep in mind: the right path is the most difficult; if you want to win, remember that. Otherwise, you'll face a surprise at the end. There are a total of three artifacts on the map, but you can only acquire two of them, and you can only take one home. Name: TerenasStand. Size: S, one-level. A remake of a map from a well-known game for quick duels in HoMM 3.
