Author: Vladimir (Serbia), 19-02-2019 22:33 Stuck with Tome of Water Magic - To Tame a Land I got my Tome of Water Magic in Seers Hut (32, 57) I tried to use water walk spell but I cannot reach back to Oasis (16,57). Returning with a boat is also impossible. So I am stuck here. Any suggestions?

Not very well thought map - To Tame a Land
The same here. This map is as very well thought through by the author as other people here claim. The only way to avoid this situation is to start in the middle of the river (to remove the evil fog from a Necro town), then land on the land on your right, and then waterwalk. You have to do all this in a single day, which requires having the Admiral's hat. Unfortunately, I gave it to a quest guard earlier in the game (which was useless anyway). To know that I was supposed to keep it requires learning how to read the mapmaker's mind. Not very impressed with the map...

It is - To Tame a Land
It is well thought out. It is thought out by the author and intended to be played in SoD. Why does anyone think, that authors of SoD maps have an obligation to make them compatible with HoTA? It's beyond me, and it's even far less understandable to be heard from a map maker.

Author: Froberg (Denmark), 04-11-2018 02:03 Like teach me obi wan - To Tame a Land Then teach me. I was able to navigate all the other areas just fine. It's just the swamp area that's impassable. Not even all of it, just the bottom bits. I got all artifacts and secrets stowed away elsewhere. Frankly I'm tempted to edit it and add a fly-scroll to the main character just to get around the minor - what I think are - bugs because I am really enjoying the map.
Also six months to complete it? You're something of a Heroes God then. :-)
Author: Valery, 04-11-2018 01:59 Like + - To Tame a Land No, I have gog too and is perfect. But have you played others maps with complex paths, as Ira the mage, the empire of the world 1/2, to win for power etc? There is something to learn before understanding how to deal with special terrains over water.
Author: Froberg (Denmark), 04-11-2018 01:53 Like Valery - To Tame a Land I love the map. I just literally cannot play through it. Maybe the GOG version works differently or something?
Author: Valery, 04-11-2018 01:51 Like + - To Tame a Land Well, this map has certainly complex paths, the author obviously likes that. It is 100% playable, but you need to compare with editor, check passability constantly and such. For some players, this may be annoying, for others it will look creative, so there is a risk some are not happy.
Myself I play such maps in WoG/Era, with tens of mods installed, they don't change the game play but will provide me with solutions if bugs occur. I finished this map in 6 months without any problem. And I liked it.
Author: Froberg (Denmark), 04-11-2018 01:06 Like Stuck once more - To Tame a Land I caved and edited the map to provide a path that was traverseable. Spent a few hours getting back to that spot only to discover that I am yet again, blocked. It's the hidden paths that get me. I can't access them outside of the main island. I had no problem finding them in the "tutorial" area or on the starting islands. Getting out of the swamp it seems is more troublesome. I simply can't click on the path. I go to the seer, the oasis thing, oasis again and I can see that I should be able to access the path, but I can't do the "sideways" motion.
I'm running SOD with SOD_SP as you told me, but I think I have to give up on this now. A lot of hours invested and I've only seen the same bits four times now.
Author: Froberg (Denmark), 03-11-2018 17:28 Like Tried again - To Tame a Land Tested again. The goblins weren't the problem, I'm just not able to sail in to the lucid pools on the right side.. :-/
Why am I the only one stuck here..
Author: myth (Brussels, Belgium), 31-10-2018 11:23 Thanks for a very nice map - To Tame a Land I really like the map. I'm a slow player and it's fine for me that you can take your time. It's really nice to play it even if I didn't had so far too much of a challenge in fights.
An issue: I had to restart it after 12-13 months because I gave away my Admiral Hat before taking the golden bow and that damn boat blocking the path couldn't be summoned. Now I'm afraid that some spawns will block some path I have.
Author: Froberg (Denmark), 29-10-2018 22:31 Like Valery - To Tame a Land Found it. Thank you. Guess I will start over. (sigh) :-D
But the map is really good, so it's worth it I think.

Author: Mopl (Paris), 29-10-2018 19:58 Like Magma Elemental - To Tame a Land Congrats for the map it's been great so far. However I'm stuck just before to fight the magma elementals. I cast the water walking spell at the seer hut but I don't have sufficient movement. Is there a tip to overcome this ?
I tried to remove some units to gain movement but it wasn't go enough. If someone could help it would be great !

Author: Froberg (Denmark), 29-10-2018 12:58 Like Game breaking bug - To Tame a Land On the path for the helmet of Chaos I had some gremlins appear. Not being able to fly effectively means that I am unable to proceed, as I cannot get the helmet. Maybe consider using different terrain underneath?
Other than that, it's a nice, interesting and challenging map. I just wish those issues could be resolved.
I already started over once because I let go of some wyverns and angels which were then needed later on.
I think I'll go and edit the map to ensure I can actually finish it, despite of goblins appearing in the middle of the lake that can't be attacked.
P.S: damn you and your hidden paths EVERYWHERE :-D

There is nothing to teach, just be comfortable with special terrains over water, thus be able to remove them in the editor to see what is under. I played the map with editor opened, there is no other safe way.

I forgot to specify, one of my mods is showing me the events during gameplay, and this made it much easier. Actually the events are what is blocking you.

There are no events at the bottom part of the map though. It's just the "hidden path" that's used everywhere where you have to be at a specific point to get to a "secret" area. I found out how to look out for it. I just can't MOVE there for some reason.

Nice review, just put it on the right map! 😁
Author: momchil Ivanov (Vratsa, Bulgaria), 26-10-2018 01:58 Good map, that can be made easily Great - To Tame a Land When I played the map for first time more than half way through the map I decided to replay it to be like a month faster. Now I am near the end only to find out that I need Jabarkas which I already dismissed as I needed more space for active heroes. Even if he was still alive I opened the Pandora box on firs day and defeated all the dragons there. Another part which I didn’t quite like was that the hero has no movement logistics/ pathfinding on a bad terrain with all this slow liches so the game goes so slow.
I would recommend a message box at the beginning even to tell the player for further instructions to defeat the 4 challenges or just message to state to keep the Pandora box unused and Jabarkas hero alive. Btw you can recruit the hero early in the game when you take over the purple AI and then you will be stuck again as he has no wisdom so cannot learn fly to reach the dark blue tent, so it is kind of precise situation with this hero that need to be polished.
Other than the few problems it is great and interesting map worth playing. Thank you Map maker 10+
