Author: Tiago (Garibaldi, Brazil), 18-08-2014 23:44 Very nice! One of the best maps I've ever played, besides being challenging (neutral armies are huge!), Is a great arena for dueling high level in the hot seat ... You can leave your hero to level 40 easily and exactly way you want, with all the skills and artifacts required for the desired buid.
Esser map ever played more than 10 times, and it is exciting to know the fact that your human opponent is getting to be as powerful as you.

Author: Przemek (Kalisz, Poland), 02-05-2012 01:40 Cool map For a bigger challenge take heroic level on this map. Only one AI was actually able to beat all things at this level and reach me in the middle. However it took him some time to make it. The other two enemies decided to fortify in their castles. And being honest on this - that is where I got the biggest challenge. With these small two bastards...not the brave one. Stuffed dwarves armed with divine revenge and antimagic + stealing runes defending their damn territory was truly pain to my vampire red dragon build. Map design is also noticable and very positive. If u like fighting with large armies, testing your tactics skills rather than brute force - try this map. If this is what you are looking for, you will agree with strong 9/10 for this map. Pity that voting is not working like it should on this site...

But, neutral armies get too strong over time. Imposible to defeat. E.g. Legion Storm Titans.
Author: John DiFool (USA), 22-12-2010 02:27 AI can Us humans can use all sorts of tricks to defeat wandering stacks which can be upwards of 10x+ as strong as our own army (mainly via Dark Magic plus Blade Barrier and a few other things), but the poor AI has a simple algorithm: if the wandering stack is judged to be defeatable, it is attacked and dies (well most of the time...). If not, it won't, usually in perpetuity (as neutral stack growth typically outstrips town creature growth).
Well, only the Red Faction took their secondary town-I never even SAW the other 2 AIs even sniff theirs (flagged the water cartographer to spy on them). Denied an opportunity to rush anyone, the AI sooner or later goes catatonic and hardly does anything. Either you script the AI so that they get extra troops, or script them to take the stacks out automatically at some point (I _think_ that is doable). Reemphasize the fact that the fights between factions are where most of the meat is, not with wandering stacks. I don't know how many maps need to be uploaded here which time after time commit these exact same sins-this game deserves better than that.
Author: Anatoly (Moscow, Russia), 18-12-2010 21:36 Good map good idea BUT AI will not be able to achieve you and as i did not hurry and beat every troops on my way so it was not difficult to beat AI
it is toooo boring at the end
Author: Al (Belgium), 11-11-2010 14:29 Crash The map crash everytime I try to start a game :/
I'm using Homm5 Tribes of the East version 3.1
Author: elion (Russia), 04-11-2010 13:13 Tres bien A very good map, although simple. Merci beaucoup, Thomas, and keep it up. As I fought for necromancers, it was no problem to win, although it was hard work at the beginning in my own territory. Helena is right in the previous message - the AI has hard time to break through the neutrals defending portals and won't attack
Author: Helena (The Netherlands), 02-11-2010 18:08 But... I agree it was a fun map. Getting out of your own area and into other player's areas is very difficult and the battles are very interesting in the first half of the game. However two points remain:
1. The AI is extremely defensive, it does not want to attack me
2. The Land cartographer for me spoiled it because it reveals everything
So after venturing into the other lands it did only take a lot of time to beat all others, which became somewhat boring.
