Author: Embertervez (Martonvásár Hungary), 02-05-2012 03:12 Thx for the challenge Thx for this map, i thought single maps wont mean true challenges for me, but this map was after a long-long time, and it drove me to write something. It was just 94 days in 200% but it needed very considered decisions every turn, however you are very helpful to the players with allowing berserk. Your map took 3 days from my holiday, and about a year from my life but it worthed it :)
Keep on working i am waiting your new masterpiece
And just a question: this map is a second edition? Because i read how Slickdragon won it, and it was really different than my gameplay (i mean i havent got pandora to reach level 50, nor 600 mon7 , and the most important i didnt find the final battle against the pink with his gigantic army
Author: Aeris Quamarine (China), 25-02-2012 17:40 To Sil Glad you like it and I appreciate your feedback

Author: Sil (Timisoara, Romania), 24-02-2012 15:57 Congratulations, Great Map It was a hard one, beating the last army after 7 months, it was so big that i couldn't stand one turn.
Of course, bersek, force field or armagedon didn't work for reducing his army,
My solution for it was recruiting a necromancer and obtaining 2.5k liches from random creatures on the map.
Second step was a hero with 3k spell points that i was needing (expert intelligence+magic fountain)
Finaly for the battle i spent about one day trying to get his army blinded on time (very nasty magic resistance).
Then using disrupting ray and clone i had enought power to kill a stack in one turn (not blinding the attacked at the end of turn was desastruos)
Author: Charles (U.S.), 05-12-2011 18:08 Like Good Though extremely tough...
Require great diligence
Author: Acdgreat (Usa), 05-12-2011 03:18 Legendary Map Great map if your looking for a challenge. Should be getting way more hits for its high level appeal. Slickdragon said it best, we need more maps like these in the future :)
Author: Blue Orb (Sofia,Bulgaria), 01-09-2011 01:50 WOW Myself didn't played this map yet, so I'm a bit off-topic, but I'm stunned!
SlickDragon this is the best ever review of the map I met here!!!
I found it awesome.
And last but not least, big thanks to the author-Aeris I'm sure you will be even more proud with The Princesses:-)
Regards
Author: SlickDragon (North America), 31-08-2011 04:21 Re: Aeris Sounds Good, I Dont Play Many Single Player Maps Since I Dont Find Them Challenging, But If Your Making Another Map In The Vein (Similar) Of Pestilence Lake/Fountain Of Doom Id Maybe Give It A Try. Keep Up The Good Work, Gambette!
Author: Aeris Q. C. (China), 30-08-2011 14:01 To Slick Dragon Happy you love it.
I have read all your words and now my eyes are a bit sore... ^_^
But it's a pleasure. I'm truly very happ, it may be a mapmaker's greatest honor that his map is liked and get carefully strategied.
I'm working on a new one, The Princesses, this one will be more careful than this one. Because Myself consider the Fountain is truly a lot tough and only suit few highly-skilled players.
Author: Slick Dragon (North America), 29-08-2011 07:53 Nice Map Being A Fan Of Pestilence Lake I Decided To Give This A Try. My First Crack At It Didnt Go Well As I Had No Idea How To Reach The Fountain Of Doom(Middle Island), And The Random Teal Enemy Was Dungeon, So I Had No Answer To 170 Black Dragons Week 9.
My 2nd Attempt Was With The Strongest Faction Tower With The Best Hero Specialist In The Game Neela (On Par With Tazar/Mephala, Better Than Sir Mullich). End Of Month 1 I Took Out Blue So Had 6 Tower Castles, While Picking Up Golden Bow From Artifact Merchant.
Month 2 Was A Game Of Mass TP To Try To Hold My 2 Bases Of 3 Tower Castles, While Trying To Swipe Some Middle Castles. Fortunately Teal Had Stronghold, So Even The 100+ Ancient Behemoths Couldnt Beat My 30 Titan Army In A Siege(Enemy Hero Level 50 Obviously Had Expert Ballistics)
Unfortunately Purple Quickly Becomes A Huge Problem, Especially Since He Rolled Conflux For 200+ Phoenix Going Into Month 3. I Incorporated A Handful Of Phoenix From A Mid Conflux Town For Speed Priority(With Necklace Of Swiftness), But Couldnt Beat Purple's Uber Hero Erdamon Since Conflux Is Immune To Blind/Ressurect Strategy.
I Was Forced To Figure Out A Way To Break Through The Deadly Garrison, But Week 10 I Had Little Luck, And As Such Gave Up After Trying Some Force Field Strategies.
However, After Days Of Not Playing And Being Haunted By Not Beating The Mission, I Figured Out What I Needed To Do To Break The Garrison Without Losses. I Used 70 Titans,10 Phoenix Split Into 2 Stacks Of 5, 3 Stacks Of Single M Genies, War Machines, 1 Archmagi (Spell Cost Reduction Purposes, Only Had 20 Knowledge).
Berserk(Expert Due To Magic Grounds) Wont Do The Trick Since You Have To Many Problems To Deal With. Round 1 I Cast Blind On Faerie Dragon, Killed 10 Enchanter/10 M Genie With My 2 Phoenix Stacks. 25 Azure Targets Ammo Cart To Block Titan, 50 Crystal Attack 5 Phoenix With 1 Rebirthed, 65 Rust Target Other 5 Phoenix, 1 Rebirthed. Master Genie Cast Mass Prayer!!!, Mass Bless, And A Useless Mass Air Shield, Ballista Exactly Killed The 10 Sharpshooters With The Help Of 1 Archmagi. Round 2 I Got A Genie Mass Haste!! Mass Precision!, So I Began The Strategy Of Moving Titan( 21 Speed Due To Necklace/Prayer/Hast e) Into The Other Corner, With Phoenix Beside It, And Then Cast Force Field. 3 Dragon Stacks Target The 3 Genies.
Now The Tricky Part Is That My 70 Titans Had Only 24 Shots(Ammo Cart Cant Be Preserved) To Kill 25 Azure(25k Hp), 50 Crystal(40k Hp), 65 Rust(49k Hp), And Eventually 100 Faerie(50k Hp). My Stats Were I Believe 16/14/13/20 At About Level 25. Skills- 1)Armorer(Best In The Game) 2)Scholar(Neela' ;s Only Flaw) 3)Archery(Absolute Must For Tower And This Scenario Strategy, Also Had Angel Feather Arrows For Extra +15%) 4)Offense(Solid Skill But Regret It, 2nd Magic School Is Preferable)5)Tactics (Essential) 6)Wisdom
7)Earth(I Despise It But Tp Is Essential Here) 8)Logistics( Neccasary In Conjuction With Stables/Gloves/Event ually Boots To Be Able To Steal Enemy Towns And TP Away).
While I Had Quit For A Few Days After Giving Up Before Settling On This Configuration/Strate gy I Tried To Figure Out How 70 Titan's Can Inflict The 150K Damage With Only 24 Shots. My Solution Was Frenzy For +90 Attack To Inflict Max Damage. Sadly My Delusional And Enthusiastic "Solution" Was Flawed As Titan Is Ofcourse Immune To Mind Spells. However I Gave It A Go With A Plan To Max Out Titans Damage.
Back To The Garrison Battle. Every Other Round You Need To Cast Force Field And Hope That Phoenix&Titans Dont Freeze In Fear Due To Azure Dragon When Force Field Isnt Up. Round 3 I Cast Slayer(+8 Attack= 40% Damage), Doing 12k Damage To Rust Dragon(16 Down). The Other Non Force Field Rounds I Recast Bless/Haste(Genies Spells Run Out Quickly), Resurrected My Stack Of 1 Phoeinx Back To 5, And Did An Early(Round 11)Recasting Of Blind On Faerie Who Mirrored To Phoenix Who Is Immune, So Recast It Round 13 When It Was About To Expire. I Was Able To Plow Through The Remaining Dragons, And By Round 19 With About 4 Shots Left I Was At 70 Mana With Only Faerie Dragon Left. I Cast Anti Magic On My Phoenix Then Titan While Not Shooting With Him Till I Got Force Field Back Up As Well. Then I Plowed Through The Faerie Dragons In 4 Hits(1 Shot Left!!) While Resurrecting The 2nd Stack of Phoenix With My Last Bit Of Mana At The End. I Lost 3 Genies, 1 Arch Magi, 2 War Machines And Finally Broke Through With 2 Level Ups To Show For It.
After The Garrison Bust I Swept Through Purples Cities,( Who Was Left With 3 Of My Useless To Him Tower Castles)Picking Up The Amazingly Helpful Library Of Enlightenment And Arena Stat Ups. Finally Found And Defeated The Legion Of Ghost Dragons(Force Field Strategy With Titan/Phoenix, No Losses) Guarding Summon Freaking Boat Which Is Essential( And Obviously Blocked Otherwise) To Get To The Boarder Guard In The Forsaken Lake. All Thats Left Then Is 360 Azure Dragons... Once Again I Ran Out Of Shots/Mana Before They All Died, So Had To Wait Till About 90 Titans/40 Phoenix/Visit At The Magic Spring For 520 Mana And A Completed Bow Of The Sharpshooter(The Nuts For Tower) To Get By Them With No Losses, Even After Numerous Fear Freezes By Phoenix.
Finally You Get Fly To Reach The Retarded Fountain Of Doom, A Pandora's Box For A Level 50 Neela= Unkillable, And You Get Another Library Of Enlightment+Numerous Scholar Stat Ups+Merchants(Got The Best Non Combo Artifact In The Game, The Cape Of Imbalanced Velocity!). Also Found The Last Piece To The Armor Of The Damned(Best Combo Artifact Ability) By A Shipwrecked Survivor. Wiped Out Measly Pink And His 100 Archdevils, Got The Near Useless Grail, He Had 3 Inferno Towns For The Picking. 1 Had 650 Arch Devils Unpurchased With Obscene Numbers Avaiable For The Other Troops As Well. Even With My 40k-50k Income Obviously You Dont Have 2 Million Gold Lying Around, Especially When Your Desperately Trying To Fund The Most Expensive Tower Castle All Game...
However I Was Able To Pick Up About 100 Arch Devils To Go Along With My 120 Phoenix, 100 Titan, 800 Stone Gargoyles, 200 M Genies, 400 Arch Magi, 150 Naga Queens, And Was Then Finally Able To Rape Purple With His Lowly 200+ Phoenix Out Of The Game. A Couple Days Later (Day 110) I Finally Confronted And Sieged Teal And His 550 Ancient Behemoths,2k Thunderbirds, 1200 Cyclops, 4k Wolf Riders, 2200 Ogres,2400 Orc Chieftains. It Was A Conflux Town On Fiery Ground So I Easily Could Have Mass Berserked Thunderbird/Behemoth /Ogre/Wolf For Insane Slaughter, But With My Armor Of The Damned I Let Their Units Do Their Pitiful Damage (But Blinded The 550 Ancients Who Can Even Hurt Level 50 Neela..) 2400 Orc Chieftains Did 300 Damage To My Phoenix Killing 1... Was A Brutal And Merciless Slaughter, That Easily Could Have Been Without Losses, But I Dont Resurrect/Blind In Final Battles.
Sadly I Had To Play On Only Hard Difficulty Due To Towers Heavy Resource Requirements Early Game, But When Your Getting Outnumbered Over 10 To 1 Due To Insane Triggered Events/Dwellings You Hardly Need Any More Handicaps. Finished On Day 110 With A Lackluster Manticore Rating.. Also I Wont Deny That I Save/Reloaded Numerous Times, And Will Say That It Might Be Theoretically Beatable Without Reloading, But Those Who Claim They Beat It Without Reloading Are Likely Lying.
Thanks Aeries For The Map, You Annoyed Me For Days And Made Me Doubt My TOH Days Skill Level, I Couldnt Understand Nearly Anything From The Google Translated Forum Link That For Some Reason Didnt Display Images, But I Did Understand That The Garrison Had To Be Busted Quickly To Eventually Reach The Annoying Teal.

Author: jacky ($country Shenzhen China), 29-07-2011 18:04 one of the map I don't want to play again! After I success, I sware I will never play it again! Because it made me exhausted.
Author: Aeris (Wuyi, China), 24-07-2011 04:36 Hey, Valery Epic map is hard to make and I'll make a new one when I graduate from college. Now I'm preparing for NMET, just senior high school. I'm sure next one will be better than WhereTB.
This map is very popuplar among Chinese players so I mske it....hey, Castle Adela and Necro Galthran may be best choices.
P.S. Where are our vote? 10 the best?
Author: Valery (France), 23-07-2011 16:01 :( Yes, it is hard. But where are the great stories, the beautiful and full developed heros, the interesting plot, the awesome design? Come on, you used us to higher Heroes standards:)
For 200%, what would be optimal selection, stronghold?
Author: Aeris (Wuyi, China), 23-07-2011 14:21 New Map Many people have played it. Some said it harmonified them quickly and fluently(means too difficult). Some said having fun running with mighty enemies...Those who have completed it said it's great.
Play it at your own risk.
Of course it is SoD.

mr
great map.
here is my story. I used inferno, using calh as my hero. turn out it doesnt matter which hero you choose. my map already have armor of damn located near in the middel toens. blue is inferno als0. eliminate him by month 2 I guess. then started break the garrison when I have bout 80 arch devils using blind/berserk. I bring one phoenix ( get it from one of midle town ) so that i can cast before azzure dragon. after that starting sweeping purple which is gold dragon. luckily I found tifa in tavern which is level 72, with 99 power spell. start killing 1000 arch devil with my 100 arc devil to get summon boat. using berserk , not loosing any unit. meet the 412 azzure dragon right after goes to underworld. kill em with ease. Go to right corner to get fly and kill teal.
that leaves me the main king with 300 arch angel , 1000 legion and around 690 phoenix plus all their friends. cannot do it in 1 turn, coz phoenix just immune to blind. the key is must reduce angel and enchanters first by using armageddon and so many powerful heros in tavern. Luckily all of them has expert balistic, which mean you can cast first even though hero enemy has phonix and plus 3 speed. after that I beat them using force field and resurection. my hero statistic skill is : 65, 75, 99,99, finish in 140 days in hard dificulty.
