Author: Alexander Belous (Zurich, Switzerland), 03-08-2021 19:53 Pretty landscapes, but too easy when playing as Tan - War of the world Just finished the map in 4 months (4-4-6) on 200%, playing as Tan. The layout is indeed very nice, but a human player has an unfair advantage when playing for Dungeon & Necropolis:
1. Choose Sulfur as the starting bonus, build the Portal of Summoning on Day 2 and buy 1 Red/Bone Dragon. Arlach can now defeat the majority of wandering creatures on your land.
2. Yet another reminder that the Cloak of the Undead King is the dumbest thing in HoMM3, even worse that Eagle Eye. "Astrologers proclaim the month of . The number of Liches in your army doubles!"
And to top off all this, the AI cannot benefit from either of these, because it doesn't build the Portal of Summoning and doesn't combine combination artifacts.
Author: ra (Brasov), 05-07-2021 00:12 Like very good - War of the world I tried to avoid the strong teal player until the end and managed to win in 12 months. The others were easy to defeat. A good map, I played almost all you maps. Congratulations!
Author: ra (Brasov), 04-07-2021 12:29 Like to hard - War of the world In month 5 a teal player flies over the red board guard and has around 70 -75 stats with azure dragons, crystal dragons,and other dragons and is impossible to beat because even if I had a bigger army the fact that Sandro has 20-25 stats is very weak compare to the enemy. The map is big and you don't have time to explore even in your near territory, even if you use 2-3 heroes, because you don't have town portal in neither the 4 castle that you have in the nearby. I managed to obtain the cloak, but when I begun rise in power and all went well this teal player has blown all the fun. Too bad, I had to quit after spending 5 months.

Author: bodhi (canada), 27-10-2013 10:29 Map I see the ai has been given a small boost every week. I hardly doubt that would make it challenging but I'll give it a try anyway's.
Author: Fab (Paris, France), 31-08-2013 21:35 Very good one This is one of the best maps I played. the layout is very well built, you progress slowly, but this is not frustrating. Of course, you have to pick some skills and items that boost your movements points, or this map can become very irritating.
I won in about 10 months (!) on 160%. I had some epic battles and won with two powerful clerics. they were loaded with Castle troops of course, and with Archdevils and Sultans Effrits as I killed the Inferno player very quickly (and you should to that too if you play Castle).
One heroe had angel wings while the other had the tome of Air Magic and thus could TP and fly.
The only thing I couldn't achieve was to assemble the Angelic Alliance.
I will share this map and play it again with another town if I have enough time !
I just cannot imagine how the other players managed to beat this map in 111 days...Gratz!
Author: corn flakes, 24-03-2013 18:43 Well I played it on 200% but in my opinion the easiest way is to be fast. Take the money from the chests and try to build an army as soon as possible. Also, you will encounter some ambushes so it is recommended to make saves sometimes. When your army and secondary skills are enough you will be able to release very powerful heroes from the prisons in the middle swamp. They have also a lot of troops which will definitely help you a lot.
If I remember correctly the main enemy pink won't attack at all because it just stands in its area so your only real threats are the three other enemies. I recommend to have more than one main hero because the maps is really huge and it needs exploration which will provide you some powerful artifacts and skills. It can be frustrating if the enemy manage to get overpowered artifacts like tome of earth and armageddon's blade as in my case but you should be defeat them easily later when your heroes are more powerful
I hope this helped :-)
Author: Audun (Oslo, Norway), 19-03-2013 14:18 too hard When playing at 160 % expert level I find this map too hard. The computer reaches primary skills of 25-40 while I'm still at 10-15. Even though my army strength is mererly the same as the computer, fighting against such skills is impossible. Have anyone else played at this difficulty and managed it? If so, any advice on how to make quick progress into boosting up primary skills?
Author: corn flakes, 11-11-2012 14:13 Nice map Peter, you will reach the last castle walking into the teleport which is behing the conflux castle in the cursed area. Of course you will need to use dimension door or fly but you will get them easily. I myself used angel wings.
So, let's make a little review! I finished the map with tower and castle. I think it is the easiest combination for the map in comparison with other towns. The map is easy for experienced players even though it was sometimes irritating that the enemy got Dimension Door because his turns last forever and he managed to slow my process by capturing cities and owning my heroes with his armageddon's blade. But finally I managed to catch him with my main hero and the turns of the stupid computer didn't last long anymore :-) But anyway, I would have removed dimension door and fly because they just made the map so easy.
I really love the author's design. As you can see from the minimap, it is very nice looking especially with the dots in these area. If it was only snow in north, only sand in south, it would look more simple. But with the mixes of these dots the map is so good looking :-) If I made a map, it would be impossible for me to make the map look so good :-) I would give 9 points

Whirlpools - War of the world
You have to use the whirlpools, but it might take a long time until you hit the one close to the western garrison or the one close to the eastern garrison, and you also have to hit them on the right side to be able to proceed through the garrison.
Once you have cleared the garrison, use fly or dimension door to reach the first castle. If you haven´t acquired those spells in a town, you can get them with the Spellbinders Hat, that can be found close to the Conflux on the central island in the upper world.
Author: Squall Nguyen (Vietnam), 14-06-2012 17:22 Like Map HR3 Very well
Author: Peter (NY), 01-04-2012 15:25 Missing pink castle I finished the map, but the game doesn't end...when I visit a tavern it shows a pink enemy still out there (no hero)...when I look at your screen shot posted, it appears there is a castle on the top of the "D" in LORD, but in my game it's just a rock...could be an error in my game??? I can't see where the last enemy is to finish it off...any ideas???

WOG
If you accept the WOG option when starting this SOD map, this strange thing will happen. It's not meant to be wogified. Dont accept the WOG option and the the castle in "D" will be where it should be.

Author: Aeris Quamarine (China), 11-02-2012 05:28 Like Good map Valery, guess who, ^0^
actually it's almost impossible to contact any mapmaker early in 2000
Author: Valery (France), 11-02-2012 01:24 Happy Thank you for uploading one of the early maps from Stephan Kispalko. Who uploaded it? I was trying to contact the author for 4 years, no chance.
Always good to see one map from him. TEW I-II are my preferred, for ever.
