Land of chaos. Ramshackle earldoms are exposed to the risk of invasion. Valuable treasures are buried in wilderness, Famous explorers are jailed. Find and free them and advance to the riverheads.
Ballanced multiplayer map suitable for any number of humans. If singleplayer, play impossible ;-))
Author: Andor (London), 18-10-2023 22:12 Second Playtrough - The Forgotten Rivers After my second play-through I arrived at a worse, as complex as the map is as idiotic and unbalanced it is. Trashed it!
Was gonna modify it but it's just to much crap that it's not worth my time and effort.
Author: Andor (London), 17-10-2023 21:56 Y/N - The Forgotten Rivers Thanks for the map.
I think I hated it as much as I loved it.
Nice traditional map with awesome layout.
Issues: to many castles, to much gold and to many ways to get to a castle(portals, underground passage, water, land, do I have to say why this is a big NONO?
I recommend editing before playing and delete some castles, portals.
You literally have no time to breathe on this map, every day you pass someone is attacking you, every castle is packed with units, each castle has 666 ways to get to.
Also, some heroes get stuck and don't move even though they could or they just passe, I've seen this happen before, not sure what causes it because it doesn't happen on all the maps.
Author: andor (UK), 30-10-2021 17:32 Awesome map - The Forgotten Rivers Such a great map, I played this before and was really fun but this time I received an error mid game and keeps repeating on every load :(. Ruined it.

Author: bigcitymama (greece), 10-04-2021 17:42 nice - The Forgotten Rivers it was an amusing adventure of 110 days.
with practicaly one main hero for the most of the game.
started from the south(red) and moved gradualy pushing enemys to the north.
using enemy defeated heroes for exploring and defending.
no time for quests as had to chase all time.

Author: samy (sofia bulgaria), 10-08-2016 01:53 sucks - The Forgotten Rivers very stupid map...
Author: D., 03-02-2015 18:46 Forgotten rivers Very good map. I like your maps more than others. Thank you!
Author: nitr. (Czech Republic), 13-06-2012 14:47 ... bit bored at the end to finish the map..but still nice one
Author: Roboto (California), 05-01-2012 20:48 Great singleplayer map This is the best singleplayer HOMM3 map I have played from maps4heroes.
The only downside is playing on Impossible, I, like badwolf, never had the time to do any of the quests because my heroes who had the armies to do them were so busy defending and attacking.
In terms of balance, some players definitely do get advantageous positions compared to others when playing against AI. I've

Author: badwolf (harrisburg), 30-06-2010 08:20 FUN MAP I enjoyed this map overall, but I also won without completing many of the quests as you can access all the enemy towns w/o them. Overall a good effort though and worth playing.
Author: Marius Ciupagea (Romania), 20-06-2010 09:21 to easy I play at 200% and i play purple and chose inferno with marius at start and in first month i eliminate two computer in month 2 week 1 :)
Author: Zdenek (Rez, Czech Rep.), 08-06-2010 13:00 Like Its hardly to believe PEDRO, you must have been very lucky. I tried the teal colour and fortress and playing it for the very first time I lost the game. But I do agree with that the quests are rather distracting. Maybe if the quests are kind of conditions to reach other players, the map would have not been suitable for multiplayer game.
Author: Pedro (Buenos-Aires, Argentina), 06-06-2010 18:25 easy Interesting map, but it was very easy even in impossible level to kill all enemies without exploring many places in the map. I have scored 446 in 74 days as a red player without town portal, without dimension door or flying, without visiting any prison or guarded artifact places, without visiting tents. It was easy, because all enemy heroes were very weak to attack me or my towns. At the second month I have had 3 heroes with almost 20level each and almost 20 towns. All you need is send quickly your heroes in different places, increase income and learn resurrection or call water elements. It was a little bit dissapointing because you do not need explore perhaps 1/3 of the map. I think, that for somebody who likes long durable wars with exploring every place, and without chasing enemies it could be a very good map.

Author: Darksmile (Prague, Czech Republic), 14-05-2010 20:48 Like Several clues To speed the endgame, it is necessary to have more heroes then 8. After some training, keep heroes inside towns. This will allow you to have your heroes spread in different areas and if needed, you can faraway hero hide in town and put hero from nearest (by necessity) town into play.
And there are (as far as I can remember) at least 4 possibilities to learn flying or dimension door. Spare those possibilities for heroes with logistic skill.
By the way, if you play red player, it takes usually the longest time to win. It seems to me the fastest win is possible with green or purple player.
And the last clue. Did you try to summon boat at impassable terrain, in spite of no water in sight ?
Author: Erik (Lund, Sweden), 14-05-2010 07:30 Like This took forever! Great map, but it took forever even after I had established total military control, had 7 adventuring heroes strong enough to take down anything the computer had, including one with expert necromancy and cloak of the undead king with 2000+ p. liches. Ended up chasing a few enemies around for about 2 months. Still a great play. Only bad thing is that it kept me up all night...
Author: Darksmile (Prague, Czech Republic), 13-05-2010 11:45 Like Hi, friends of HOMM3, SOD I must apologize to everybody, there is a mistake in the map. I had forgotten, that the amount of gold is multiplied by 100. I have corrected the mistake, except of one occurence at the position 1, 31, 122. (West-south-undergro und.) The correct amount of gold should have been 440. I have sent corrected map, but, in case it is not replaced, check it and if needed, correct it.
The map is very large and complex. It usually takes around 200-250 days to win. I you find the grail, the typical score is 494-496.
Enjoy the map,
Darksmile
