update - some kind of issue with simultaneous turns, where should I complain?

This might be a bug in the lobby or some script errors on the map, but for now, I don't see any errors. If the map has a script (e.g., placing a random spell in a chest), simultaneous turns are reset. If you play without simultaneous turns, there is no error.
I'm looking into it and have submitted a bug report.

After playing 3000 games in a month, I noticed that the Cloak of Renunciation was missing, which is a serious issue. I've now added it back – the warrior should have a chance to loot it, not be afraid of the Griffin, and simply move at a slower pace.

Another question – I've been clicking around, but I can't find it – how do I prevent peasants from being targeted by Tier 1 monsters? Can you give me the path?

Oh, and I got my butt kicked by warriors with that mage and his cloak!

The maps have been slightly updated (v.1.8.0 v3, without HOTA scripts):

- After considering which heroes are needed for the skill test, it was decided to add heroes who have a useful skill OR a useful specialization. Thus, the following heroes have been added everywhere: Pikedram, Than, Fiona, Haart Lich, Septienna, Tant, Tavin. If you have any thoughts on this, please share them.
- The amount of experience has been increased from 12000 to 12200 (level 9). The slightly lower experience was related to rewarding the old Learning skill, which is no longer relevant.
- Skeletons have been added to the artifact path in the Random test, as in the test without random elements.
- The overlapping of special types of terrain has been checked and fixed. It is unrealistic to create a large number of options for overlapping special terrain on different biomes, as this would not fit in the size of the S map (if you are interested in such a serious randomization of the battlefield, try Alderski's Grand Skill Test, but it has its own nuances).
- The description has been improved. Perhaps there will be a version with, so to speak, an artistic description "A tournament was held in Erathia...". But for now, these are just corrections.
- If your version did not have the Cloak of Renunciation, it will definitely be here.

The changes are small, but if there are any problems, please report them immediately.

A test version of the new SkillTest Max (Next) map has been added! You can download it separately in the main post. This is the first map with the HoTA 1.8.0 script for a box containing a random level 5 spell. SkillTest Max, with its three paths, allows players to significantly strengthen their army, artifacts, or magic of their choice. The level 5 spell is designed to make the magic path at least a little more interesting. The map is compatible with simultaneous turns, but only on the latest version of HoTA and the latest version of Heroes HD!
