Posts from Question about the map "Empire of the World".
Auto-translated
The empire of world 2...
The map is simply catastrophically terrible...
Firstly, the plot:
It's there, but it's so poorly thought out, everything is so mixed up (Robin Hood, elemental gods, some Maximus, Prince John, Genghis Khan, Merlin, and the like)... That in the end, there is no complete plot or overall picture.
Secondly:
The map's landscape itself is not fully thought out. How did you even manage to complete this mess? The map has a minimum of traversable areas, and even less. There's no normal path to the objectives. I opened it in the editor, and even in the editor, I couldn't understand how you could get anywhere without the "Fly" and "Dimension Door" spells (which, by the way, are not available). There are many objects that are simply impossible to visit. Then, there's all sorts of surfaces on top of the water (swimming through cursed land and other fields – that's just ridiculous). Creatures standing on water. Objects and neutrals that you can't reach...
Sixthly:
There's only one direction, constant movement along a set path, completing quest after quest, and they're all monotonous (first, defeat one hero, then the second, then the third, and so on). There's no variation, no alternative. You just run around with one hero, collect thousands and hundreds of creatures in one stack, and just crush the enemy with the same hundreds and thousands of monsters in a stack...
I think the only questions about this map should be directed at the author...
A hellish map. Not because it's difficult, but because it's tedious. It's not a strategy game, but one long quest, and a very monotonous one at that. It all boils down to finding a hidden passage, an artifact, or an event. There's nothing else interesting on this map. Battles, especially after getting the vulnerability medal, don't evoke anything but boredom.
bolotnik, you haven't even seen "Jedi story" yet! ;) Warning: this map will drive you crazy! I completed it in 29 months (although it could have been faster, but I made a couple of serious mistakes, which caused me to get stuck in two places for a long time until I looked up some details in the editor)!

I've seen it, even completed it, in 25 or 26 months, I don't remember exactly now.
I also spent a very long time on The Longest Journey, barely managed to complete it, this map really stressed me out, and it took a very long time in both game time and real time to finish.... I had to use save-load many times, even started over several times, but in the end, I still managed to complete it).

bolotnik, and "Longest Journey" is a good map, without any "hiding places" or other evils. ;) I completed it (although on my second try) in 7 months, 3 weeks, and 6 days: it could have been a little longer, but the main villain, Abrakus, came and attacked me – and paid the price for it! :) It's important that our main hero gets water magic (to create a boat – this is a very important moment!) and doesn't delay, so that Blue and Brown don't have time to get mega-dragons from the seers – otherwise, it will be problematic to defeat them. You can run around from Pink (Sea Lord) for some time, capturing his castles, taking away troops, and weakening him in this way. After that, there are no particular problems, as far as I remember.
The map is good, very well made.
It's just that my level of play leaves much to be desired, and I dragged it out, which then made it very difficult.
Hello. I'm stuck, I can't find Genghis Khan in Mongolia. They require a vial of dragon's blood and that I defeat Lord Titan. Please help.
Is this the second or first part of "EotW"?
Because I don't remember this in the first one.
If it's the second one, here's a walkthrough, someone already answered above:

Pomazok1329 EotW 2, thanks for the links. It's a shame the first one is in English; I'm reading and "digesting" the second one.
I played it not so long ago, but as far as I remember:
1. We won't kill the Titan Master anytime soon; he'll appear when the brown enemy comes after the Barbarians, I think.
2. We get the blood bubble from the Drakon King; he'll appear later. In my opinion, the battle with the Dragon King is one of the most difficult on this map (maybe Merlin and the Inferno father are a bit harder).
They give 225 gold Dragons for the dragon bubble.
Regarding Genghis Khan, try using "walking on water"; it's more useful than ever on this map.
Here is my save file from the current moment.

I came across another Garden of Revelation.
6 months ago, (since "Kino") I explored all the paths back and forth... in general, the situation is roughly like this now.
Right now, there aren't many people playing on the maps, although I log in every day because I've returned to Heroes after a year and a half break.
Regarding the map:
1. The monsters needed to progress are located below Reichhaven; there are 4000 of them, and their numbers don't increase.
2. It's a good idea to place the Earth God with the Legion statue in any Castle; the statue will provide a +50% weekly growth rate.
3. Start gathering Golden Dragons for your army; there will be additional outposts for Green Dragons, resulting in a growth rate of 9 per week, while the monsters and Hydras only have a growth rate of 5.
4. Of course, there will be a final battle. If you're short on troops, I suggest looking for a Necromancer with the "Spellcasting" specialization in the tavern, give him an army, and have him quickly learn Expert Spellcasting in battles. Equip him with the King of the Undead cloak and raise Liches on neutral creatures (Griffins, Gremlins, and whatever else you find). Since the armies are now 1000+, free Liches that you can get a couple of thousand of per battle can take up space in the main army.
It's really annoying that there's only one hero with a town portal and a book. You sometimes need to teleport to cities to pick up the necessary artifact/give it to the right hero, and then teleport back.
The map has mixed reviews, mainly because of these secrets that aren't easy to find.
In general, I recommend playing the Ragnar 3: The Lost Empire map later.
Here it is.
I just started playing it (inspired by the Empire with Maximus), and so far, it's just as good
I downloaded Ragnar 3: The Lost Empire; thanks, I'm already checking it out, and I hope the problematic areas of this map are also discussed on the forum.
Pomazok1329 Only one question bothers me: for example, a well-developed Necromancer creates 1000 archers using a clone spell. The opponent, in turn, destroys the "cloned" archers, and after the battle, it is written that 1000 archers were destroyed. So, will the Necromancer raise skeletons/liches from these 1000 archers?
It shouldn't, because clones are essentially illusions made of water, which have 1 HP. The most useful application of a clone is to resurrect Archangels.

The map is very similar to Imperium Maximus, but it's a slightly easier version. Here, both the AI and the player have an increase in resources, which means that time (month/week/day) doesn't rush the playthrough. And I haven't noticed any particular problems yet, except for the financial aspect - I have 1 Capitol (4000) and 500 gold per day from each castle - so I need to hire the most necessary recruits.
p.s. I started playing at a fast pace - I reached Xyron, whom I can't defeat. I had to skip a month, just to hire someone. The treasure feature will be very useful, especially in Rampart (it gives +10% gold at the beginning of the 1st day of the week), so it makes sense to sell resources on the 7th day.

The game froze almost on the 21st month (20th month, 4th week, 5th day)...
This happens when the amount of gold is a number that the game cannot handle or process. This is a couple of billion, or even trillions. If the player has almost captured everything on the map, they can exchange it for resources
