I still vote for The Restoration of Erathia. This theme is closer to me. As for the forum members' nicknames, you can simply change the names of the heroes on a ready-made map. And the "Heart of Trade Routes" theme doesn't quite fit the Heroes universe.

That's what I thought... We just need to choose one clear winner and start the contest... Do you agree?

I chose The Restoration of Erathia. I agree with ***JOKER***.

I agree with Joker. Let's decide and start already. I'm itching to get started.

I'm for the second option.

What prevents us from taking theme #3, "The Restoration," as the basis for the plot and adding elements from theme #2 to it (since there is no mention of the plot in theme #2)? This way, the respected members of the forum could fight against Kilgor... Thus, we would resolve the dispute between the two worthy options, #2 and #3.

Did you even understand what you said?
It's like suggesting to Lucas, "Let's make an episode of Star Wars with elements from The Lord of the Rings." Nonsense, right? Exactly!

Why not? Lekha agrees with that. We can just insert our nicknames there, and then when the map becomes popular again, we can remove them...

Nonsense? Exactly!

Well, well... don't get so worked up, sir...
Imagine that we adopt option #2, where, I repeat, there is not a word about the plot... After that, each mapmaker will choose a plot to their liking... And who will prevent you, for example, from taking option #3 "The Restoration of Erathia" as a plot?...

So, what did you find so nonsensical about this? Read the topic carefully before throwing your hat in the ring...

I apologize, I just didn't quite understand...
By the way, ***JOKER***, you said something smart!

Okay, everyone... today, a new topic will be opened. It will feature the judges, rules, prizes, storyline (I think you can guess which one), and criteria for evaluating maps. Stay tuned...

I definitely like the second option, but for the game, I would choose the third.

I agree with Fatum, but I'll add that the first campaign is more difficult because the paths either have to be boringly and uninterestingly identical :(, or different, which leads to imbalance:mad:.

Are suggestions still welcome? If not, here's mine: Hard times have come for the free kingdom. The greedy gaze of the English king is turned towards France. No one would have thought that a 15-year-old girl, who doesn't even know how to wield a sword, would become the savior of the already desperate people... At the beginning, you need to reach the Dauphin's castle within a week and, starting from there, recapture Orleans, Tours, and Paris from the English, one by one. Once these cities are recaptured, the Dauphin will be crowned, and the mission will be completed. As you can guess, you can only play as humans in this scenario. Unavailable units: Angel, Archangel, Griffin, Royal Griffin.

Is it still possible to suggest ideas? If not, here's mine:

:D The contest has already started... Two maps have already been submitted... :) Unfortunately, it's too late.
