Two months of developing... Three weeks of beta testing... All this brings you to totally new age of Heroes mapmaking! The age of RPG! Yes, its a fantasy RPG on the Heroes engine! Welcome to the World of Thorland! Now version 1.6 (Fixed Toriks secondary quest bug)
Author: Tal (Israel), 20-08-2020 12:00 Like My opinion - Thorland Chronicles: The Danger Within This comment is not as a proffesional homm4 player or map maker, wanted to express my thoughts and point out a few things and questions that I was unclear about.
I thought the map was good.
I played the good part (Prince Justin). The plot and the story were interesting and captivating. A few technical issues: next to the mountain of ice, where there is the building to recruit titans and the tome of chaos next to it, there was no way to access this area, couldnt get my hero there.
Also in the story line there were quite a few vocabulary mistakes and grammar issues (not including the goblin dialog). Not a major deal, the storyline was still understandable but it personally bothered me and the map would feel more proffesional if the effort would be made for the correct grammar and vocabulary (dieing is actually dying :)
I do agree with the other opinions that the quests were confusing. At times I felt not sure what I should do next and then I wondered a bit on the map to see if I can guess where I need to go (quest huts and the sacred places). I would make the sacred area in the death zone a bit more recognizable, although I did manage to realize because of the pattern on the ground.
Im guessing that the quest huts that didnt show anything were related to the evil part.
I couldnt reach the area in the underground where it had the book of level 5 spells and all the gold around it, maybe it was part of the other scenario (evil).
Also didnt understand why there were 2 prince justin.
You did a great job, you are creative and have a talent, Im sure your maps will only get better and better. Looking forward to it, you really took a map that was medium and made the player put in the time and effort that I wouldnt expect in a medium sized map.
Thank you, 10!

Author: Jlyne (Kansas City Missouri, USA), 21-07-2005 05:23 Fantastic Wonderful map, I loved playing it, the good side, and I LOVED the quest of the map. I couldn't figure out why you had two prince justin's but ehh, I loved the game none the less. I look forward to more parts!!!!
Author: Vigga, 22-07-2004 13:11 Congratulations Great map. Thanks! I couldn't figure out playing the good part though, but the evil part was great.
Author: Костян (Moscow, Russia), 02-07-2003 18:12 Супер! Я видел эту карту на всероссийс комм конкурсе на лучшую карту для Heroes.
Супер! Это целая RPG!
Мне кажется, она займёт первое место!
Качать советую!
Author: Евгений (Moscow, Russia), 02-07-2003 18:12 А второй части не намечается? :) Rulezzz! Мне понравилос ь! А второй части не намечается случайно? Astral, если да - не забудь сказать!
Author: Ururam Tururam, 02-07-2003 18:12 Looks interesting Well, this map looks very interesting. I am just analyzing it, when I'm done I will post my rating. But it won't be worse than 8! 9 and 10 possible! I will submit it in a day or so.
2 months of building and 3 weeks of testing is not much for such a map: I spent full 3 months building my Pirates L.T.D. and its tests lasted 6 weeks (ow me and my 4 testers). ;-) Making such maps is a complicated matter.
Keep up your good work!
Author: Bear (London, Great Brittain), 02-07-2003 18:12 Good job! Your map is awesome!
I've completed Baal's campaign, now playing Justin's campaign...
By the way: could you send me a Walkthrough to Justin's part?
Author: IMHOtep (Paris), 02-07-2003 18:12 RPG?! Good, but too sophisticate.
Goals are not too clear.
Must be a lot of work.
Author: AsTRaL (Moscow, Russia), 02-07-2003 18:12 You must be joking! Goals are not too clear?
Everyone who played it understood everything cleary.
Maybe you should read dialogs more carefull? :)
And, you are right - a LOT of Work! :)
Author: Ururam Tururam, 02-07-2003 18:12 Review Here is a short review I've promised:
Storyline and world setting are perfect (10/10). Landscaping is also OK (9/10)But the map suffers from several technical issues. The game stability is not good. Undeclared quest huts descriptions may cause game to crash. Scripts are sometimes misplaced (the 'bug' mentioned in a 1-st day message, is not a bug but a script misplacement that can be avoided by assigning scripts to a hero and *not* to his army!). There are some scripts that shouldn't be run in 'deathmatch 9; mode but they are invoked. Generally map robustness is 5/10 and scripting 8/10. The final note is then 8 points.
I highly recomend this map to players (and I recomend the author to improve his scripting techniques - I strongly hope his next map will be as interesting as this one and much more robust the same time).
PS:

Author: Chris Abram (Norway), 02-07-2003 18:12 great this simply takes heroes4 to a new level of gaming incredible map keep going man!!! =)
Author: AsTRaL (Moscow, Russia), 02-07-2003 18:12 Thank you! I'm very grateful to all players who play my map!
Your opinions are only making me more enthusiastic to create Thorland Chronicles 2.
Yes… it is already in development… :)
Author: Honza (Seattle, USA), 02-07-2003 18:12 Expected more... Quite good.
But neither the first nor the best H IV RPG map (see Life of Hobbit and End of the World).
7 points (could be 8, but I've expected MUCH more reading author's ad).
Author: Mark Jason (USA), 02-07-2003 18:12 I liked it! I agree with Chris! It's a brand new conception in Heroes gaming!
Don't listen to those annoying guys who try to criticize your map!
Of course there are some minuses but all pluses covers them!
Keep going!
