Author: Jozef (Slovakia), 17-03-2023 20:44 Very hard, but fun - Fountain of Doom I have tried to speedrun the map as always, but I have found no good way of doing it, so 108 turns aren’t that impressive. Could have done it faster but I didn't get tactics. After all I am just happy that I completed this map. My strategy was to get AOTD and cloak of the undead asap. Then I just stood in front of the turquoise town, waited several weeks just so he could accumulate enough troops, converted them to my liches and then killed the main boss with around 20k liches. This is the easiest way of completing this imo, although I feel bad for abusing necromancy.

Author: Nicolas (Nanterre, France), 01-08-2015 12:52 Like ...no pb of way to win... - Fountain of Doom ...again, Valery, please stop attributing me things that I haven't said...
My rating is NOT due to the fact that I failed to win, but to the fact that in some case, the winnability can be due, not to the player ability (or lack of ability...), but to a combination of random elements.
But even more important: as you said, the attribution of votes is mainly linked to the fun one has at playing a map: because of these random elements, this one had become a little annoying to play, at the end. And HERE lies the true ground of my "9" - not in any difficulty to finish it or not.
And clearly, had pink played dungeon, with its main hero with intelligence as a secondary capacity, while I had chosen, say, Stronghold or Conflux, and without the cloak of the undead king available, and without any Necro nor inferno castle available (pretty easy to find, for a combination), how do you win it? And I'm pretty sure that there are other combination that render this game pretty harder than it already is.
So again, the problem is not about the possibility to win or not: it is, in my opinion, a problem of conception, because too many elements are left to the chance.
But it's still a great map, and as I stated in my preceding post: having thought about what you said, I'll probably change my rating to a 10 in the near future.
Author: Valery (Lyon, France), 01-08-2015 12:22 + - Fountain of Doom This changes nothing to my opinion that both your rating of TEW2 and above map were unfair.
Week of monster bugs: independent of mapmaker. Today there is a way to circumvent them by installing era and sod mod.
Fountain of Doom: description says: Extreme impossible map, play it at your own risk. After such description, making a bad rating because of fail to win problem makes not much sense, especially when comment from other players show there IS a way to win.
Author: Nicolas (Nanterre, France), 01-08-2015 12:08 Like Thanks! - Fountain of Doom for changing your way of writing, Valery.
Well, you still stick to the fact that I choose only the "most successful maps"... and in fact, I didn't. This is precisely what I was trying to explain:
I don't choose maps only by sorting them by votes, but rather by size, extension (ROE, AB or SOD, in my case), difficulty (expert or impossible, because the easy ones don't give me any fun anymore... though I played some of the other ones, from easy to hard), and size.
That's why I was pleading for a normal rating by everyone... but the fact is, you're right on the time problem (most people probably won't search the maps as carefully as I do)... which is to say that there is even another one: what about the maps (some very good indeed) that haven't received any vote? I've taken a little time to review the maps you can find here (not 2K, but rather 1200-1300... which is still a lot, I concede it ;-) ), and there are still too many that are at the bottom of the classification... just because they haven't any mark.
So, even if I still think that people (well, ok, me, peculiarly... XD ) should be let the right to vote for maps the way they want to, the system is biased by the fact that too few people actually do vote.
I'll take some time to review my notation of a few maps, and may even give that one a 10 - even though I think it deserves a 9 - because of that.
Author: Valery (Lyon, France), 01-08-2015 11:46 + - Fountain of Doom I don't have a problem with an complex mode of rating, where all details are summed then a precise rating is done. Actually I would find this system of rating very useful for mapmakers.
So from this perspective, Nicolas is right.
But the flaw (why can't we edit) of such system is the TIME. You don't have the time to review the 2000 available map under such conditions, so, as Nicolas, you will select obviously the most successful maps -as he did- then will lower their rating under the pretext the rating is now realistic and scientific.
But will leave the 1000 others with 10 ratings.
Result: you think you did an awesome job, but in fact you lowered the rating of 2 exceptional maps then leave 1000 mediocre others still at 10.
And thanks for changing your rating for TEW2, that map surely deserves critical comments, but is way too good and professional to show elsewhere than on top.
Author: Nicolas (Nanterre, France), 01-08-2015 02:28 Like Statements... - Fountain of Doom Hello Kicferk.
First of all, thanks for your answer, and I do understand your point of view.
But as a matter of fact, I did play a lot of lower rated maps before to give my first ratings (in order to get an idea of the ratings, precisely, but as well because I believe that one can get a lot of fun out of lower rated maps, as well). And my ratings are given regardless of the fact that a map is winnable or not, or of the minor bugs I've encountered. I've given 10s to maps in which bugs can happen (and by now, I'm fully aware of the fact that these are bugs of the game, not of the maps...), and lower votes to ones that hadn't.
If you read me well, you'll see that the minor problem I saw in this one is not that it can be won or not (I can read, anyway, and had seen quite well that other players had won it), but merely that some combinations may render the map difficult, or even impossible, to finish - which, in my case, I did not even say: re-read my first account better, please... I admitted that it was certainly winnable, but that I probably lacked the courage and patience to take the stance.
And in the end, my victory was only due to the fact that I have found a combination of battle moves that induced the computer not to make a move before he was too weak to seriously endanger me.
i.e.: I decided not to move any of my troops, to cast forgetfulness on the computers grand elves, then to blind its archangels and silver pegasi, and then to cure my troops (expert water magic) and make clones of my mighty gorgones to strike the a.i.'s gold dragons, which by luck were positioned at the entrance of the castle, preventing its other troops from going out. After that, a combination of luck (ghost dragons' clones regularly reducing computer's monsters HP...), clones, and archangels' resurrection helped me to wipe the remaining troops away.
But had the computer player decided to attack from the beginning, and I would have lost (any other combination of moves / spells from me was concluded by a massive - and very fast - slaughter of my troops). Very far from the other victories depicted by other players, in which they really had a possibility to oppose the computer a fair fight.
So yes, of course, there are always means to win a map (or almost), once you've been through all the problems that it proposes. And in that case, as I said, I had a lot of fun playing it. But that randomness problem, and the continuous incoming of powerful foes, rendered it a little more annoying, at the end. Hence my 9.
But, again, I understand that many people, and more particularly the maps creators, don't like the maps everybody consider as legendary to be given other marks than 10s, because of that decreasing in the classification by votes.
That's why, when I play a map, I almost always give marks that go from 5 to 10. And I've rated quite a lot by now - and given a bunch of 5 and 6, to ones that truly deserved it. I just happen to consider that, instead of criticizing people who don't give a 10 to every map, maybe it would be better if everyone truly voted for the maps...
I really do believe that people don't simply search the maps through their ratings, but as well through their level of difficulties, the extension they are made with (for example, I haven't installed any other than the three basic ones: no WOG or Horn of the Abyss for me...), and the number of votes or comments (a map that receives a 8.3 or 8.4 with 200 comments has fairly more chances to be interesting than a one that has a 10 for only 5 comments...)
But again, it's just an opinion.
Author: Kicferk, 01-08-2015 01:12 Ratings - Fountain of Doom I think the main problem Valery has with Your ratings is, some maps deserveto get 8. Others deserve to get 6. There is a lot of them, even here. But most people(you likely included) don't play them. Why? Well, because there are also maps that deserve 10.
And then these people, with no real experience about what it means to get buggy or too easy maps treat very minor issues too seriously. In fact seriously enough to not give a fantastic map a 10.
Truth be told, there are no flawless maps. A map deserves a 10 if it provides a lot of fun and if any drawbacks it has don't take away from the experience you had. And some things are not the fault of mapmaker, they are simply results of your game version or your misjudgement.
To sum up. You are free and welcome to make educated rating and contribution. It's only the uneducated ones that are causing a conflict. Like the one here, 'it can't be won, lower rating' and then 'oh wait, I won it'. Don't you see a problem in that?
Author: Nicolas (Nanterre, France), 31-07-2015 21:50 Like Many mistakes - Fountain of Doom ...and so, what? Am I supposed to buy your opinion (or Nautilus') about "harmful" rating effects, without questioning it? Sorry, but no.

I'm not in any "classroom" ;, and I'm by no way careless: I just, maybe naively, thought that, by honestly giving maps the rating I thought, or felt, that was right, I was contributing to the success of this site, and in some ways helping the map creators to continue to improve themselves, and their creations.
But again, thanks for your condemnation of my votes, and for the oh! so kind and gentle remarks you made about me, my playing, and my contributions to this site.

Such maps are not in competition, they are out of it, pure gems, proof why this game has still people addicted to. You think you are in some classroom and here notes are 6.6, 9.3, 1.5. The reality is much simpler: once a map is given less than 10, it goes down in the list because, as you said, there are dozens of rated 10 maps. People start their search naturally by "rating", to avoid time waste.
read Nautilus comment in his map Metataxer about ratings and their harmful effects. Especially when map is fantastic and bug-less, and especially when the "bugs" imputed are NOT bugs.
Thats all.

Because yes, to try to play on people's emotions to have them change their ways of thinking or doing is blackmail - you're French, just as I am, so you may know the expression "chantage émotionnel" ;.
And please don't deny it: when you say that "because of me" (and my "poor" ratings...) people will stop playing legendary maps, you're trying to make me feel guilty, in order to either get rid of me, and/or try to influence my way of thinking / acting on this website.
Same thing when you say me that I'm "sending maps to the dust", just because I don't give them a 10 - which is not the case: 7, 8 and 9 still are "good" to "very good" ratings. Or is it compulsory to give a 10 when one rates a map, on this site?
In addition, do you really imagine people care so much about my ratings, that they could decide not to play a map, because I didn't give it a top rate? You're making my ratings far more important than they are, don't you?
Not to say that when maps are sorted by ratings, it's the mean of their ratings that are taken in account, and a 9.9 mean is still exceptional - especially with so many ratings and comments.
What disturbed me, when I first came to this site, was precisely the fact that all maps get loads of 10's...but only 10's. Hopefully, just as so many others, my choices aren't exclusively based on ratings...
You ask if I have already designed a map: the answer is yes, so I perfectly know how hard it is to do so (by the way, the results were awful, in my opinion, so you won't find them here).
I only express my opinion. And you have a full right to disagree with it. But I don't think you have the one to depreciate me, or my judgements, the way you did. Did I with yours? Or with your statements? (even during our former discussion about "les premices de l'Apocalypse&qu ot;) I don't think so. Neither have you the one to presume on my intentions, on my level at playing (which, I recognize, is not forcently as high as yours) or on the way I give ratings: I never do it in a hurry (and on my review, I acknowledged the fact that had lacked the courage to go through the final battle).

Author: Valery (Lyon, France), 31-07-2015 05:29 + - Fountain of Doom Well, I was sincere, I hope you get nice and long vacancies, far away from maps rating. Sure, you have the right to express your cocky analysis and poor ratings (8 to Empire of the world 2?!!), but the reality is that you just sent two major Heroes artworks into dust, rating are definitive and a map rated less than 10 is no longer played by new comers. Yes, this is the real issue on maps4heroes.
The Empire 2 is a great source of inspiration for all mapmakers and players, its design is inspired like none else, its battles are epic, the details and astonishing. Yet you are the only one in 10 years to throw it a 8 rating because "too many bugs" with weekly creatures.
Dude, have you ever tried to design a map? How the author is responsible for a bug which is issued because designers bad codes? 20 ratings of 10, and one of 8, yours. Don't you have minimum decency to see how much is this embarrassing, but for you?
Then look what you do here, you can't even finish the map-because of randomness, come on-, then give bad rating in a hurry. Days later you recognize you were wrong, but the problem is now that rating will stay, the map has been declassed and will probably be no longer played.

Author: Nicolas (Nanterre, France), 26-07-2015 23:48 Like ...first try... - Fountain of Doom ...and; being a fail, probably the last.
Sorry to tell you that, Aeris, but this map has a flaw... and a major one: its randomness.
Let me explain:
I've been through every problem it raises: conquered the garrisons (both of them, for experience), the 1k lvl 7 creatures to get summon boat, the azure dragons underground, beaten blue, purple, teal, and the pink's villages underground, with great difficulties, but success, each time.
All that at my first attempt (I started a second, but after a few turns, finally resumed my first one).
But when I reached that final town, it turned out to be impossible to beat... with the combination of troops I have.
I play Castle, blue had Fortress, Purple and pink had Rampart, and teal started with Tower: as you see, no combination occurred... contrarily to most examples given by people who have finished it (blue and red both Tower, or both Inferno...).
So in the end, I have a total weekly wealthiness and growth of creatures that both exceeds Pinks (because yes, of course, I have opened the map in the editor...), but I can't take advantage of it, because I can't unite them all!
And beating a number of gold dragons that increases by 35 each week (and I've checked it: it really does) is simply not possible, as gold dragons can't be blinded (not to mention the astronomical number of war unicorns, dendroid soldiers and Silver Pegasi...)
The only option would be to play long enough to reach a level like 80 or more with a hero (by letting the randomly appeared creatures on the map reaching summits, and then beating them all...), and it definitely would take too long.
Two interesting points: no pandora's box to be seen (computer took it?), and no cloak of the undead king either (I had the dead Man's boots, and the amulet of the undertaker, but I couldn't find the Vampire's Cowl).
Do you think it would be possible to win in that configuration? I don't. Of course, if people are interested, I can share a copy of my .gm files... ^^
Great map anyway: had fun to play it, even though my game can't be finished (well, could, but I really lack the courage to take that final battle... XD )
So, 9 rating, because of that randomness problem.
And this one could very well be my very last H3 game. :-)

It was your main critic for tew2.
About fun: my opinion is that every map who has been thoroughly tested before release deserves a 10. No matter you have fun or not. This is not a video game review where we put a note between 0 and 5 for games released by billions of dollars companies.
This is a site where people who sacrificed part of their free time to one hobby, share with others. The 10 rating is one way to say thanks.
Now, surely there are weird maps out there, with strange ideas, done by either game ignorants or just one day fans. In general those maps can't be completed or are completed too easy (see husham XL maps where you can win in 2 days without visiting 99% of the map).
That maps is ok to put a rating of 1, to prevent people to waste their time.
About fun: after playing and coding wog for several years, I have little fun to play sod maps. They lack role playing, extended mechanics, and all those things wog maps have. But this is not mapmaker's fault, is my individual taste.
And same thing for everything that doesn't suit my taste, I don't lower my rating because of that. Was playing the other day the Longest Journey map, downloadable here.
The map has a lot of features I really hate in Heroes, like time events taking all your resources, hidden events doing dame things, curious quests giving one wood for one ore, so is not fun for me. BUT: this is not an error, mapmaking enjoys them, is my taste which is different. Beside, the map has great design and flawless playability.
If one prefers dark chocolate and another prefers milk chocolate, this doesn't mean the first guy must rate the milk chocolate lower. Low ratings must describe mapmaking or playability errors, not the fact that you prefer start with castle instead of fortress, generalizing.

Of course is my opinion and I do not force anyone to adopt it. I would have never answer you if your rating were 9 but for good reasons. For example, you could rate this map 9 for poor design, Aeris strongly insists on hard game play and complex tactics, but doesn't give a damn about map being beautiful. Using or not the editor at maximum possibilities is indeed something that can be rated and not an opinion.
Of you could have said that Empire 2 lacks progressive difficulty in battles, so there is no real challenge towards the end, no feeling of accomplishment. There are better done maps from this perspective so a realistic rating could go that way.
But your points were unfair, that's why I popped in. Is not your rating who disturbed me, but your explanations.

Teal player start with orb of vulnerability in front of his castle so you have to steal it from one of his heroes. When fighting heroes dont let them ever escape from you so that you can take their items(use blind or fight them in castles if you have to). With the orb you can blind anything including gold dragons.

(which doesn't mean this battle is not winnable, I concede).
One or two tips: Wicker
- use a first hero without any range attack troops, only to weaken pink's hero and having him lower its spell points
- then attack him with a hero, again without any range attack (generally, when you haven't any shooter, the computer stays behind its walls as long as you don't move your troops) and use clone
- if it's not enough, finish him with a third hero with shooters.
All in one turn, of course (otherwise, the A.I.'s magic point will come back)...
But I'm not sure this can work.

yes this is very good advice when AI -in town- seems impossible, go with very little or no ranged units at all. If you have intelligence then summon spell-and obviously decent stats- you will survive until the moment AI is out of mana, and AI without mana is like a bug: squash it.

Boats
If you have expert water magic, you don't need any boat to exist for the spell to work. But on basic level you need to build a boat first, be it from shipyard, castle or by using spell on advanced level with different hero. So I suggest getting a hero with water magic, maybe with scholar, and using the spell then :)

Author: Eny (Bulgaria), 06-06-2013 18:43 Nice map Just finished it in 4 months and 2 weeks on hard difficulty. I would say that it's good challenging map but from my expirience i wouldnt call it "Extremely impossible map". :)
I played with demons, purple was with angels, teal was demon too and pink was with hydras. I guess the hardest fight was against the barrier because my main hero(speciality on logistic) failed to get intelligence and i was realy short on mana. Another tough fight was against one of the first strong pink heroes who was casting blind, mass dispell, haste + he had 1k+ lizard archers and most of his other stacks were capable of oneshoting my arch devils. I killed him the second day he arrived :D!!! Overall I didnt felt any pressure from the enemy heroes, it was only annoying that no matter how many you kill, new one(teal) arrive almost every day. And the whole game except last battle i was fighting only with arch devils and few arch magi for spell cost reduction.
Later I picked other hero for main, Ayden with speciality on intelligence and with him it was another story. His endless mana was really useful against the annoying emerald dragons and the final boss.
And the final boss was really annoying with his spell resistence but without dispelling my blinds he was doomed to die :)
He had 497 chaos hydras, 300 archangels, 1000 enchanters, 1491 mighty gorgons, 1988 gr. basilisks, 994 wyvern monarchs and 656 dragon flies.
Amd I had 126 arch devils, 62 archangles and 5 arch magi, alot of 'arch' :D. I also had 3000 mana and spend almost 2k for the fight. Because of those nasty resists on blind my devils got one shot several times but it was not a problem :)
From what Slick Dragon have wrote below it seems that the map version is different? I didnt find any pandora box that give 50 lvl, the items seem different and teal wasnt that stong, just annoying with his endless heroes.
Author: cengiz (Turkey), 28-03-2013 05:31 excellent map this is the best i have ever seen in heroes 3. played many times with towers but i realised that i cant have chance to defeat the army growing agressively teals. Afterthat i start to play with necromancers but same result have been in 3 months. İ could defeat purple but no teal unfortunately. My last play i spent 10 hours to finish the game . i chose necromancer and in 4 week i had castles of blue also. And i defeated army of purple 5th week. After the defeating his big army i can have chance to defeat armies coming from purple. But finishing 1 month teals are coming to destroy everything. With pathfinding and boot speed i try to take all castle as soon as possible. İf teal army couldnt walk enough to take castle. İ teleported there chosing 7 creature running faster and taking fist oppurtinity to play. İ used berserk and run many times until destying his all army. Then i attacked with teal with my full army and beated him. And luckily i found his heroes with skillls around 80 and afterthat that was easy to win the game:)i finished the game with 90k skeletons:D
