Posts from Walkthroughs for custom maps.

As far as I know from the active discussion of the map on HeroesPortal (465 comments to date!), the author is constantly improving it and periodically uploading new versions.

bolotnik regarding the start on the Paragon map...

it seems like your start is very slow, the second town is taken on the 6th day of the 2nd week with an army of 7 Fanatics, 102 Heavy Archers, 2 Angels (didn't get a promotion in the treasury, there were only 50 Griffins) + ~ 17 Royal Griffins (gave the champions to the liberated hero), the Griffins were divided into 1+1+1+14, in the first round, 3 groups of 1 Griffin each fly up close to the Grand Elves and Snipers + so that the upgrade Gnomes also remain near the Archers, I wait with the Angels, Expert Blessing on everyone, my ranged units shoot down the Snipers + at the end of the round, the Angels attack, in the 2nd round, I had to use Lightning Bolt to finish off all the Archers, then Slow down the Gnomes one by one (Earth Magic was level 1), and finish off the Gnomes (the goal of the Griffins is to prevent the Archers from shooting for 2 turns), the skills were Ranged Attack 3, Attack 1, Water Magic 3; with Expert Earth and when Angels are promoted 2-3 in the dwelling - everything becomes even easier. Result - 17 Griffins lost and the town is ours, and on the 2nd week, a Portal of Glory is standing in the 1st town. If you build 2 Mage Towers, you can forget about the Portal, and you won't be able to take the 2nd town by the 2nd week.

After that, on the way to the Dwarf town, take 3 more Angels + Archers in a week, upgrade everyone, take a few Griffins for meat, and the result is the same with the 3rd town (here, you can also Blind the Snipers)
I took this town with Blind and dividing the Archangels into 2 groups, with 0 losses.

In general, thank you for the detailed description, I haven't finished it yet because I didn't have enough time, I stopped, and now I came across a not very good version of the map, and immediately after killing Vandroy, Titans attacked me with all their might, especially dangerous were 3 heroes at the same time: Josephine, Fafnir, and Solmyr, I killed Josephine by sitting in the town of Alondo (she came herself! there was no such thing in the first attempt), Fafnir with his parameters ~ 70 with my ~ 50, I can't even kill him sitting in the town, I leave the Titans (I haven't had time to take the Vulnerability spell yet, and even with controlling more than 1 unit, he casts Armageddon and Clone on the Titans and ... death), and there's no point in even trying to fight Solmyr with his 230 Azure Dragons. By this time, without losing 1 Archangel, I had 376 of them, and they kill all 5 Dragons with 1 hit.

Can you give a link to the map you played, if there was no such disadvantage, because in my situation, I'm completely stuck.

The map isn't loading. I'm playing WoG, but I disable all the settings, and it launches as a regular Heroes 3 game. If there's a good version of "The Shadow of Death," please share it!

at the landing site on his island, griffins are standing calmly... There are 3 empty cells between the landing site and the enemy hero, so they had to appear specifically in the landing cell:mad:

what is the point of giving 3k ore for 1 knowledge? There is no path to the promised helmet behind this Tower.

And another point: what's the point of giving 3k ore for 1 knowledge point? There's no path to the promised helmet behind that tower.

And with the sphere of vulnerability at that time, I think it won't be difficult to break through the helmet's guard, it definitely won't be superfluous.

Unfortunately, this case is not that rare. Map creators need to remember well: there should be at least 2, and preferably 3 free cells to disembark from the boat on the shore. And you also need to remember that when disembarking, the game perceives events as objects, and it is impossible to disembark in a cell with an event!
