Author: Razorockham (The Netherlands), 08-09-2021 14:09 Dead end - impossible map - Druid - Друид I don't think this map is ok. The red one-way portal gives way to a yellow two-way portal, but in order to continue you have to visit the red keymasters tent. Kaliki in theory can reach that tent, but he alone has to fight against thousands of mermaids and against a Field Marshall with 600 bone dragons - at the beginning, but growing. Also the green keymasters tent is out of reach
Author: wasilix, 08-09-2021 07:09 - - Druid - Друид No, I'm not an author, just played the map like you. The uploader said that he's not an auther either, and found this map in some old archive in the internet (dated 2002 or smth).
I think you don't have to be reading cyrillic in map editor to understand quests. I was unable to read there anything either. Most information about quests can be found in the quest huts in form of in-game scripts, that are in language of your game and should be understandable to you. There many tabs available when you open quest hut properties, just look through them. The most interesting should look like "Quest requirements" and "Completion script", but maybe some others too.
Author: Razorockham (The Netherlands), 07-09-2021 21:56 Designer of this map - Druid - Друид ...It is you who is the the designer of this map. Or someone else?
Author: Razorockham (The Netherlands), 07-09-2021 21:42 Very challenging map - Druid - Друид Thanks a lot. It is a extremely difficult map, for the only level which is accepted by the computer is impossible. In more easy levels I recieved the message: you lost. Up until now I managed to get through the red one-way portal with the Megadragons. I will keep you informed - but I cannot read the editor as well - cyrillic signs
Author: wasilix, 07-09-2021 17:09 - - Druid - Друид Floating house IIRC asks for level 8 and gives admiral's hat. Dark care (is it the one in the starting area of your heroes?) asks to kill a hero that is quite far down the map. Not sure about the mushroom, I'd suggest you opening this map in the editor and checking there, that's what I did.
The map is great indeed, but at some point it became a little bit too repetitive for my taste and I put it on pause, but if you need tips on the beginning let me know.
Author: Razorockham (The Netherlands), 07-09-2021 12:46 Quest Hut - Druid - Друид This map looks very promising, but I don't read Russian and I need the content of the quests. Please can you give me the content, specially of the first ones: the Dark Cave, the floating house and the mushroom. Thanks, I will continue.

There is quite a change of heart. Understandable, I think, I personally was fed up with the map much sooner than you did. I'm still occasionally playing it a few fights at a time, so I'm probably going to finish it in a couple of years provided I don't slow down! :)
Congratulations though for getting this far! Probably you are right about the bombs, I'm unfortunately not aware of details how these conditions are treated in h4, but it sounds like if he retreated it may be a reason why he isn't treated as killed (h3 for example handles it the opposite way, but it would make sense for sure).
It's a bit sad, that this map drained out pleasure out of you, because it's a pretty good map, especially in the beginning, and it has some great ideas, but it becomes very tedious at some point, then it becomes annoying and probably it would explain your disappointment.
Cheers and congratulations once again! :)

Yes Sir! - Druid - Друид
I killed this guy Sir - loss only 2 phoenixes - and made my way again to the quest cave. And it worked. The bombs are gone, the path to the underworld is free!

Victory - Druid - Друид
Victory! My first attack on the teal castles in the underworld was in month 19, with 6 heroes level 70 – 2 wardens, 2 warlords, 1 cardinal (life) and a witch king (chaos) and 6500 phoenixes. Warden Aeris has an enormous power (attack – defense around 4000), strong enough for all monsters to surrender for him – in the ultimate phase even 500.000 megadragons (sic) and 100.000 black dragons fled from the battlefield. But in the end a teal hero named Verno appears to be too strong. His 229.000 evil sorceresses in one blow killed all of my phoenixes. Blinding did not help, because Verno immediately removed this spell. Then I changed one of my warlords (Lowell) for a new, much weaker hero, a summonner level 40, with fully developed nobility, nature and life, but without attack-defense power. My plan was to upgrade her to an archmage with powerful death and order spells. But designer Sasha Tishov has prevented this idea: no hero in the game is able to develop in a new school of magic a higher grade than Advanced. Fortunately I then discovered the most powerful artefact of HoMM IV: the ring of greater negation. Again Aeris-Kaliki-Ellashar-Nevon and the witch king made their way through the underworld to the teal castles, now if the company of an archmage and 8000 phoenixes. This time, in month 22, my reward: victory.

Wow, congratulations! - Druid - Друид
You write about it the way that makes me wanna do it myself :) And yeah, the order/death being unavailable was a little bit disappointing to me.
That Aeris of yours sounds like a badass! Making these armies flee is ridiculous! :D
Congratulations on that victory!
Update on my progress: I did play a few more battles since my last message :)

Thanks - Druid - Друид
And , of course, Wasilix, thanks for all your help. Wonderful!
Author: wasilix, 02-08-2021 07:04 Пара вопросов - Druid - Друид 1. Какие навыки нужно брать на каждом из героев? Обоим предлагается тактика в начале, и как минимум одному из них еще разведка. И то, и то другое, мне бы не хотелось брать, но верхнему герою приходится взять что-то к 4 уровню.
2. Знаете какой-нибудь русификатор для gog-версии? Карта интересная, но проблемы с кодировкой в английской версии игры очень все осложняют
Спасибо!

А где вы карту скачивали эту? У меня вопросы к автору, там бы задал. Подзастрял сейчас на получении доступа к зеленой палатке. В HMM4 не особо силен, многих приемов не знаю, наверняка.

Author: wasilix, 01-08-2021 17:55 - - Druid - Друид Map looks great, but I'm unable to read a thing (mostly due to encoding, alas), and just now realized that I lose 15k gold every day. Are there any useful hints that I may miss? I can see that an event on day 1 says something about 15k. Perhaps it mentions something useful too?
I was trying to find that event in the editor to re-code it so that I was able to read it, but so far was unable to find it. I'm pretty unaccustomed to h4 map editor...

There is a script in calendar events that takes away resources, look at it.

01-08-2021 20:58
Thank you for the reply - Druid - Друид
Sorry I may have been unclear. I found the event that takes away the resources, but I could find the event that triggers the text in the beginning. One of 3 events on day 1 triggers some custom event, that couldn't find anywhere. As far as I can see, the event taking away the resources, doesn't have a message associated with it, and I was curious whether the event message perhaps contains some sort of a hint or useful information.
Thanks!

Странный скрипт - Druid - Друид
Это какой то скрипт,который я впервые вижу.Как помню это событие можно найти в триггерных событиях,но в таких событиях я не разбираюсь.
Author: AnnArchist (Des Moines, Iowa), 31-07-2021 22:03 i probably should not have chosen impossible difficulty. - Druid - Друид its a tough map. im not sure its possible to beat even. at least not for non-russian speakers.
Author: AnnArchist (Des Moines, Iowa), 28-07-2021 05:28 thanks - Druid - Друид glad folks are still makking maps, ill give it a go. I hope speaking russian isn't required
