Author: Solymr (Portugal), 30-03-2020 11:47 A small question - Gremlins & Titans Hello Morten,
I still have a question on your map. It is about the quest guard at 8,3,1 (defeating the giants). Well, this supposed obstacle is actually fake since you can walk by his sides. Was this intentional in fact?
By the way, I was thinking how Gremlins & Titans could be completed within four months and I've came to the conclusion that it probably can be done only by possessing a specific secondary skill...
I think I might give it a try.
Author: Solymr (Portugal), 20-03-2020 05:53 I'm stucked!! - Gremlins & Titans Hi Morten! Thank you for your very well designed map. I'm loving it.
Well, I'm having a small problem: how am I supposed to get the huge amount of resources to pass the quest guards? Could you give me any tip?
Thanks again.

Here is how - Gremlins & Titans
Hi Solymr
Glad to hear that you're loving the map :)
The answer is to fight the Pandoras boxes.
Let me know if you need more help :)

Finished - Gremlins & Titans
Hello again,
Thanks for the tip. I finally made it (normal version). It was considerably hard, nevertheless. I'm surprised that someone could have make it in 4 months only.
Perhaps I will exercise myself and try to win this scenario in 6 months... that should be enough for me.
You did a great job with this map. Well done. Thank you.

Congratulations man! Well done :)
For someone to do it in 4 months they really need to understand the whole map, using the map editor and do the right move every turn to not waste any time.
Happy that you like the map, you're welcome.

Hi - Gremlins & Titans
Hi Agrael
I'm not sure, do you know how?
I am about to download the new HoTA version now, and play a bit.
Author: Gremlin (Erathia), 29-12-2019 10:08 Finished - Gremlins & Titans Hi again.
As I said, I tried this map after your new changes. Played 8months version but decided to challenge myself and finish it in 4. It was really hard even knowing this map really well. But as you can see I managed :)
Thank you again for this map, even though it's S map it doesn't feel like that at all. Visually it's also really creative and eye-pleasing. Good luck with another maps if you decide to create them!

Nicely done - Gremlins & Titans
Nice :) Well done man!
Thanks for the comments.
Author: Jack (Szczebrzeszyn), 27-12-2019 21:58 Gremlins - Gremlins & Titans Great map! After reading the comments I enabled water magic and decided to start with that ring -1morale. Especially first 2 months were interesting when I was trying to do as much as possible with as few gremlins as possible.
It's funny how I managed to reclaim starting city before fighting those efreets underground.
Anyways this map is really cool and fresh, never played something like that before. Will you make some other maps in the future?

Thanks - Gremlins & Titans
Hi Jack
Yes with this sort of feedback I might create a new map. Thanks.
Have fixed the bugs now by the way - if the admin reuploads :)
Author: Gremlin (Erathia), 08-12-2019 12:11 Gremlin - Gremlins & Titans And I have two more questions:
1. Should the number of efreets increase in time? (those on the bridge in underground) - on my first try I couldn't beat them due to high numbers.
2. Warrir's tombs are risky in maps where you need specific spells and artifacts, you could get something that might make the game way to easy even though I see that fly and dimension door are banned for example. Shouldn't there be some restrictions here as well?

2 questions - Gremlins & Titans
Hi man
1. Yes, they will grow with time. Don't let the grass grow under your feet.
2. That's true, hmm. Too late i suppose :/
I also just tested and found the witch hut with Water Magic to not work, even tho it is set to Water Magic. Maybe something to do with Fafners ability to learn Water Magic?

Hi, I think that you can update map file somehow, I see people informing in comments that a new version is out, so if you make corrections it won't be too late I think :)

Author: Gremlin (Fortress, Erathia), 02-12-2019 18:21 Gremlin - Gremlins & Titans Hi.
It's a really interesting map, but it has its flaws. The biggest one is that there should be limitations to starting artifacts. One could get some that are required by quest guards, in fact I started with +1 wisdom and power and thanks to that I carried cape of velocity till the final battle.
Also there are 2 huts which give air magic but none that gives water magic, I had to use other tactics because of no mass forgetfulness

Hi - Gremlins & Titans
Hi Gremlin
Thanks for the feedback, glad you found it interesting.
I agree I should have banned starting artifacts, so that you did not get to keep the cape.
There are 1 Witch Hut underground giving Water Magic, and you get it before you need Forgetfulness. South East UW.
I just checked in map editor - should be there for you also :)

Hahaha, you're right about water magic! For some reason I didn't visit that witch hut until very late in game when I already had 8 skills.
Oh, one more thing! You can reach the tavern before you can get slow if I remember correctly. And there are some heroes with slow + some with scholar. That's how I learned slow at least. :)
I think that now without slow and good starting artifacts the map will be much harder. I'll try to play it again some day if you make those changes :)

EDIT
Hey, there is really a problem with the map. To be precise with water magic. Since it is disabled in the editor (it's the only secondary skill that is forbidden), the witch's hut can't teach you that skill and the following text appears when you visit it:

True, I tested know and saw that this is true.
Weird did not happen like this in the betatests :/

Slow - Gremlins & Titans
Did not see this comment about Slow until now - but I think it is OK to leave this be (and not do another update/upload) - because it is clever of you to do like that with Slow + Scholar, from Tavern.
The map generally has many options to play to win.
Maybe this option of getting Slow is OP'ed and too easy, I don't hope so.
(slow can't win all matches by the way)
I created the map for players on my own level and below - who have experience and looking for a challenge, but are not top tier good players.
But with the 4 month challenge (Impossible version) it should be hard for ANYONE playing 1st try without looking in map editor.
