Author: Cristian Mures (Braila), 20-09-2018 03:02 Done it! - To Tame a Land Finished in 370 days;I'm sure it can be made in less than one year if the underground is not fixed.After defeating Rashka (i used Gunnar with 700 AB and around 1,2k CK),the game is practically over.
It's not short,it's just toxic for gameplay!Just take off that underground part not related with the story line and it should be enough;otherwise fly and DD will ruin a lot of your work ( don't even bother with dark blue tent or any free arts,just to name few defaults).Instead of grail,u can have it straight in first stronghold town (having it in a Tower would save me from taking Pedant of second sight for killing peasant quest).
But all in one,it was a nice run ! (that's why i didn't quit)

I cannot go into the portal to kill the other Inferno hero because I would be stuck there... And I have no more seers currently giving me a quest to get new stuff. It feels bad to ask for help in such fun map, but I have been at it for hours and cannot figure it out.

No problem - To Tame a Land
You really need to kill em all inferno heroes to proceed so you may have to get "stuck" for a while... Have you found your way to that other closed inferno town with Oris (only Oris can enter the portal)? You have to be at these places simultaneously (there is 1 portal only Ukko can go) for a moment to figure this out...

Author: Cristian Mures (Braila), 18-09-2018 12:56 Too creative to be true... - To Tame a Land Playing maps like this one,when a smart puzzle depends on a free tile in late game,one can't avoid the bitter taste of randomness: after getting fire tome,i just can't land because that tile is occupied by a neutral creature from weekly spawn(lizardmen,cent aurs and gogs - i restarted the map 4 times just to pass that point).If the only quick solution is to bring the Grail to one conflux castle,I have my doubts about creativity;all the puzzles will be less important than you think.It's very boring to go from one corner of the map to another in the name of a puzzle or two. I 'll rate 10 for your work - definitely great efforts to do this and i'm pretty sure this map has its fans;can i suggest for author to improve the underground and make the adventure more fluid?

First of all you need to have quite a large army for him! Secondly, have you found other Angelic alliance / Armor of the damned near the end? I suggest AotD cos Lord doesn't have spell immunities.. You can beat him! I did too without expert fire magic...

10-09-2018 15:24

Author: Valery, 08-09-2018 10:22 Like My review - To Tame a Land Just finished it and I liked. Tons of good and creative ideas and a lot of work has been put into, everything is polished and progress looks okay. The only thing which bothered me is the (too) late use of town portal and the lack of heroes to use, which ends into your hero going back and forth a lot of times to gather army. At some point it breaks the progression feeling. When things go serious, consider giving fast travel so we don't regress. Or give more heroes so we can prepare a chain.
Battles are easy early game, easy middle and some hard late. Important skills to have: archery and intelligence. Offense is great but with no angels to use clone/resurrect it gets way too tedious to spend hours resurrecting so you spend most of time avoiding contact and rely on shooters. Ivor would have made a more impressive main in my opinion.
Map adventure: the design is top, personally I would prefer less puzzles with so many hidden events and editor check to see how to, but thats my style, others may enjoy it as there is a lot to think and test. You will often pull your hair on how to land here and there, but there is editor to help, don't be shy :)
Thats all, thanks for map.

Author: Jaakko (Finland), 03-09-2018 17:40 Did you try this? - To Tame a Land First of all make sure to have both, boots of speed and equestrian gloves equipped. After getting the tome of water magic move with your ship about to the center of that waterway passage just so that you can see that first tile of that oasis to the left! Spend one turn there standing still. When the next turn starts you can still see that oasis to the left even when necropolis cover of darkness is activated! Now all you have to do is to go to the shore (right side, seers hut), scuttle your boat and waterwalk to the oasis! There you have it!
If ya still can't get to the oasis then I really don't know what's wrong... Anyway several ppl have already finished the map (including myself ofc) so it can be done!
