Author: Arsen (Russia), 20-12-2022 18:12 Amazing... - Gelu and Hota I've been playing heroes 3 for over 20 years and have tried all the top maps. But I would put this map in the first place, it is truly amazing in every sense! I really enjoyed going through it! Landscapes amazing in their beauty and picturesqueness, puzzles that involve many different non-standard approaches to defeat the enemy, colossal armies, as well as competent scripts and the absence of bugs!!! All this together turned into a wonderful masterpiece!
Bravooo!!!
Looking forward to the next masterpiece, no matter how long it takes!

I d like to tell about the real green tent. It has a biiig problem, which, actually, destroyed my playing. So.
On the impossible version of map, guard of real green tent has no task. I'm afraid of it. Green tent on the water is too away from the land.
If I m wrong, please, correct me. Thank you.

Someone here suggested that you should bringt out a second part and I think you answered that you don't have time for it. Maybe you can take the updatet version + add some new content to the map (because there still was enough place for it) and release the map sooner or later as an ultimate edition or sth like that instead of bringing a sequel to it.

I assume you have 3 millions fangarms. This should be enough to hypnotize him after the first hit. Then you can blind him and resurrect your fangarms with archangels.

What's next? - Gelu and Hota
How about the Sphere of Permanence though? I searched through and through - no such thing :/ Do you think there may be a chance that an enemy hero picked it up and then disappeared? I had such situation with the Titan King ages ago where he picked Orb of Inhibition and became unbeatable plus - occasionally just decided to disappeared from the map. Nothing that a re-load wouldn't solve but maybe this time I skipped something..

Berserk - Gelu and Hota
Oh, I got this thought from your earlier comment:
"You will get beserk after successfully rescuing Dracon (and water walk too). The best option to minimize the amount of damage fangarm is when you reach the frozen area, you should just defeat the Golem to get the last piece of Armor of the damed then go back underground to defeat War Zealot and other castle heroes. Do not try to continue attacking blue after capturing the first Tower".
So in fact - I should just keep going forward and see what's next? I prefer to ask because sometimes the map makes certain heroes vanish and I rely on reloads - so sometimes I'm scared I missed something important :D
Amazing piece of work by the way!

Beserk - Gelu and Hota
Yes actually i forgot how to get the beserk without rescuing the armorer. In some previous attempts I was able to finish the game with gelu (with his expert fire), But now I forgot where you can learn beserk. But I'm sure Armorer has it and he should be the hero against the final boss. Maybe i missed something :/
Author: Ferdinand2 (Munich), 16-09-2022 22:54 Like Great map!! :) - Gelu and Hota A map as it should be!
Stacking huge armies, challenging fights and feeling great! Thank you :)
Author: sphinxx, 14-09-2022 04:58 improvements - Gelu and Hota - caitlin, yog, war zealot, edric, sorsha, valeska, first dracon all +10% more stats
- gelu 10% more creatures
- give elmore summon boat spell. it can be that he chills near the green border guard without boat and then the map is practically unplayable
- make sure you cant play with necromancer
- remove 3 goldmines on the map
- find a usage for orb of inhibition. for example as a key to open the dracon prison or sth else..
- better artifact management overall. there are some artifacts that you dont really need in the game but they are behind guards so it looks like you need them
- make sure you have to kill all enemy heroes on the map. especially azure drake, azure dragon and (-_-''')
- dragon king should have at least 200000 azure dragons in the final battle. i fought him in month 12. he had 190000.
Author: PmUeT (VN), 14-09-2022 03:11 Ideas - Gelu and Hota I know this map is not hard. It need more chanllenges but i dont know how to improve.Maybe remove blind and clone spell?

Bug? - Gelu and Hota
Thanks,but:
It was not possible to attack him first, because he was not at the water wheel but instead somewhere in the north. So I could not reach him with my moving points. Then I saw at the walkthrough at YouTube that I missed the tactics skill. After getting tactics and opening the gate, Black Beard is now at the water wheel (yeah) and I can attack him first. :)
BUT: Tactics is not working, it is skipped AND his units are split again ^^ Dafuq ^^
PmUeT (VN) writes:
23-09-2022 04:20
Skip - Gelu and Hota
You can skip him and go underground to fight Castle heroes. Maybe he will leace Some troop in garrsion that make him easy to kill.
sphinxx writes:
23-09-2022 07:57
Blackbeard - Gelu and Hota
As he also has tactics skill it won't help you much but you don't need it here. Normally his troops shouldnt be split. The only reason I can imagine this is so because you opened the border guard and didn't attack him immediately but only on the next day so the ai saw it and split the troops..
Author: sphinxx, 13-09-2022 18:43 Nice map - Gelu and Hota Finished the map in 12 months on impossible difficulty.
