First of all economic. Luna, Grindan, Solmir and Alamar. Diplomation, navigation, logistic, earth, fire, resurrection, berserk. Finished on 4m4w4d. I didnt complete quests and didnt open prisons and didnt use map editor, but checked and saved all another startings-just to know enemies location.

Author: Jorge (Portugal), 24-05-2023 22:31 Like Possible bugs? - Europe for Heroes Hello Hudian,
I would like to point out two possible bugs in your formidable map.
The first is related with the town of Naples, from which there are two proceding roads, left and right, but none of them are "passable" toward north, to Rome, etc. Is it supposed to be that way?
The second apparent bug is in the city of Edessa, where the master genies in 241,203,1 are unreachable.
I love you map. One of the best, no doubt!

Thank you for your feedback - Europe for Heroes
Sorry for answering late, I've been busy working these days.
I also checked your possible bugs and found that they are not bugs, but decorations.
In a real world, Naples is too close to Rome (too easy for players), so I use the roads for decor and extended a secret road between mountains.
The master genie is not reachable and only a decor (be free to check it with Map Editor). I think my cities will be emptiness after players discover them. So I place some fake monster to make it more lively.
Glad too know you love my map. Thank you much.
Author: Finsko, 20-04-2022 08:31 What am I supposed to do? - Europe for Heroes I am playing regular version of map. I started with 200% difficulty, went for Sicily (described as "easy", captured the town. Now there's lots of demons as obstacle, then lots of Angels. No gold production, no saw mill, and no ore pits to begin build the town. And just one boat to use for one hero only.
So how to proceed with this? Seems unplayable from the start which is pity because map looked promising

Sorry for being late - Europe for Heroes
I've got some connection problem. Sorry for being late.
This is my suggestion:
Do you see a ship at the north east of Sicily?
Board the ship and sail straight north, you will see Elba island.
You can see a prison on Elba, free her and you have a small army.
Then sail to Corsica island and take the mercury production. Sail to Italy if you need wood.
Or raid any coast you like.
I tag Sicily as Easy because at the start of the game, only you has a ship.

Lacking of resources - Europe for Heroes
I also give a time event pop up at day 1 or day 2 about it.
You should build a market as soon as possible, then trade for resources you need.
One of the hard part at the early game is solving the need of resources.
The idea is each country has a specific kind of resources. If you need something, you must find and take it, or buy it.
Author: Thievy, 08-12-2021 17:56 Bad design - Europe for Heroes The extreme scarcity of resources was daunting at first, then I decided to take it as a challenge. However, starting so extremely slowly (week 2 and unable to build any creature building at all?) and not finding any direct way forward, this map just seems a lot of grinding until you somehow gain an edge with good heroes. Not that fun, to be honest
To top it all off, and what made me write this, is the sort of "nice graphical touch" of using a bridge over a river, which is impassable. Clearly the mapmaker intended a passage there, notice the road, and it fails miserably. These small errors are what annoy me the most about a map, unnecessarily hindering progress.
I've tried 2 starts and neither impressed me to get into it further. I'm sure people can finish this map, but I'm not sure it's worth finishing.

And about the brigde, as I remember, this is not only a brigde, but also a troll dwelling. So if you want to cross it, you have to touch the building.

Underground "trade routes" would have been more useful if they were shorter than above ground paths. I thinks it's possible to make the underground map smaller, or shift the positions of the the gates. Just an idea to consider.
I enjoyed it a lot, thanks for the efforts! Took me 6th months on impossible, killed tan before the hordes.

Author: Derr (Bucharest, Romania), 11-12-2020 23:32 Good map - Europe for Heroes Hi there, really nice map, finished it in 87 days, as blue. Loved the custom and deceiving content, as well as the castles where you couldnt fully upgrade your units, which made you look for solutions. I even managed to defeat one of the hordes (in the north), the one in the south had a bug and didnt collect units to move through barrier.
What I didnt like:
- the underground is completely/mostly optional; id use it if I had hard knowledge of the goodies inside or if I were forced to do so
- even after I defeated all the players I didnt have the artifacts for one medal of courage. The one on the island defended by americans was too tough to get
- I was promised some reward as blue if I got to Holy Land, i think, before month 7, but didnt see any seer that gave me that prize
All in all it was a worthy map, thank you for your very hard work. Id rate it 9.25.

Red, Blue and Green have 1 hero but they have 2 choices, East or West. Orange and Teal have 2 heroes, that's mean they has 3 choices, East or West or both place. Everytime we start, the game may be different.
About Orange, it is the only Muslim faction in the map so they need a chance for survive. If you play as Orange, you will defend your land and explore Affrica at early game, then fighting over middle game. If you are not Orange, then Orange will be a good oponent.

It is supposed to happen after 40 weeks, but if in the meanwhile there is a plague week event, the dwelling (at least that particulary one alone) won't have the 80 black knights to pass the quest guard, so the invasion can happen much later.

I started with the city of Cairo (Egypt), on hard difficulty, and I think this is one of the greatest maps I have ever played. I have to disagree with a comment made by a fellow about the gold-generating capability. I think there isn't too much gold. I think it's fine. There was a problem with the AI evaluation of the towns' defenders strength at the start of the game. At the first day of the second week a few computer players were out of the game, so I switched the champion on each town for a level 1 creature, which solved the problem. One thing I considered annoying was, not the holes themselves, but the fact that every single time we fall in the same one we lose resources. I think one time per hole is enough.
Well, having said this, I think you did a wonderful job.
I read that you had recently updated the map. What kind of changes did you make?
Congratulations and thank you.

Thank you - Europe for Heroes
Thank you for your feedback.
About the gold, there is nothing fair in the world, so I made my Europe the same. We only have much gold when we hold England or Germany.
I think sometimes AI confused and they didn't attack the pikemen at the start of the game, so they dissapeared.
I'm sorry for your annoying with holes. But they're a kind of trap, you just have to pay more attention.
In my latest updated, I made an easier version so we play with more relax. I also placed more quest guards for preventing AI interfere our mini games.
Have a nice day, bro.

Bug found - Europe for Heroes
There is a little bug on 4:95 (southern Ireland) with level 7 creatures, which cannot be engaged, letting their treasures free to be taken.

Thank you - Europe for Heroes
Yeah, you're right. I need comments like this one. I'll fix it in my last update.
Author: Hudian (Ho Chi Hung, Viet Nam), 30-06-2019 07:33 Map updated - Europe for Heroes Mr.Admin has just updated the map for me. Anyone who downloaded the older version and still interested in this map should download the latest version.
Wish you all a happy playing time.
Author: ks, 27-06-2019 14:46 re - Europe for Heroes Ops, actually the time is 7/4/5 - 194d.
No, there is no grail here, no obelisk, no grail. But I see some special tricks on the map and really not very sure if there is no grail.
Forgot about the gold. To much gold. Maybe you must disable some of Treasuries.
And CONGRATS! - Some of "holes" not working :))) I mean that they r not passable (my lovely holes to block the coast) Is this standart map editor?? Can I have it, to look around?
Good idea from you also is to paying every time when crossing other area. For more fun you can set some mini areas where we lost money to upgrade our stacks (cos the different towns have different up lever of buildings) or seer's hut changing the creatures.
Map is nice, but I see many many possibilities to be just perfect
10x again!
Author: Hhudian (Ho Chi Minh, VIet Nam), 27-06-2019 13:06 My thanks - Europe for Heroes Wow, you've done it so fast. I hope this campaign will last 10 months.
Thanks for your idea about block zones and final event, I'll use it for my next map.
Could you tell me more about the Grail, did you find it in Europe.

Hard map!
I have never played this kind scenario. Need more attention and much time! At least 5 mine heroes.
Although the the map is really nice and there is no bugs, the author should spend more time for details like: seer's hut (now we dont need any of them), blocked zones, some requirements, grail (for points record) and of course some special, final event, which makes better maps unique.
10x man, waiting more maps from you :)

Explaintion - Europe for Heroes
I'll answer all your comments:
1st - There is a Grail, but there are only 6 Obelisks in this map (as I remmember). Easiest Obelisks you can find stay in Vatican and Jerusalem.
2nd - About the gold, I'll wait for other opinions and fix it later.
3rd - Some holes actually not working, they are obstacles for decorating.
4th - This map is made by standard HotA map editor. Everyone may look around freely.
5th - For upgrading troops, I placed some Hillfort, but they are advantage for certain factions. I also placed many Seer's hut changing Peasants into more power creature, but may be you don't see them. And because you can win this map, I don't think you really need them.
Final - I made this map for many playing style. You can play alone or play with friends. You can win by eliminating all enemies or bringing the Crest of Valor to Rome. The second way surely costs you more time and more fun.
Your caring motivate me a lot. Thank you.

re - Europe for Heroes
I see.. :) Interesting strategy for grail, nice!
Only one trouble with this: the guard 193/149 is nonpassable, cos of the very stupid (known) reason: the requirement gdrago was defeated from AI, and of course (as usually) stupid AI (unknown reason) wont open this guard... honestly, this unpleasant situation is very very often with all requirements to AI. Cos of that I never set guard requirement for any AI which can destroy player game. All requirements concerning players, must be set only for players.
For the holes, I havent really explanation, this was really first to me on hota :)
Keep your style, nice gameplay from you!

I got your point - Europe for Heroes
I know how to fix the problem with those stupid AI. That won't happen in my next update.
For the holes, I use some holes to block the way because using trees or rocks is usual. An impassable hole is more surprise.
