Evil forces attack the world. The ancient artifact, the Worldstone is in danger. It can be scaled by the touch of Baal - the Lord of Destruction, and then the world will cease to exist. The player's task is to kill Baal before he distort it. To win you have to do it in one year, just a single year.
Author: Peter (Slovakia), 26-09-2023 20:05 Lord of Destruction - Lord of Destruction As a veteran H3 and Diablo 2 player I feel I should write a comment about this map.
Finished this map in 255 days and I gotta tell you, never have I ever played a map that is more balanced and well made like this. In my opinion it tops legendary maps like Wayfarer and Unleashing the Bloodthirsty etc. Especially if you know the Diablo storyline. A big praise to the mapmaker and all the people that put so much work into this masterpiece.
Here are some "tips"? in my opinion to the players who want to try this map (if they happen to be of any help):
1. This map is only for the skilled players and I mean it. If you are not I suggest trying easier maps to hone your skill
2. Yes, protect your shooters as much as you can, although some losses are inevitable (keep them to the minimum!).
3. Very few magic wells and no resurrection (only via AA later in the game)... and this is what makes this map briliant in my opinion. In most custom made maps mana points are pouring out of your ass and basically ist all about blinding everything and then resurrecting your units. However in this map, you really need to be wary of your spell points if you want to go through the map quickly and not returning to town to replenish your mana all the time. You need to think tactically, always a few steps ahead so that you dont loose many units becuase they will come in handy later.
4. I chose pathfinding instead of fire magic which is okay because there is a lot of rough terrain which enables you to go faster but with expert fire magic blinded enemies do not retaliate which would have made many fights a lot easier but it can be done nevertheless.
5. For me the most difficult act was act II and -50 spellpoints events in the arcane sanctuary and no magic wells made it extremely challenging. Spend as little spellpoints as possible there, I used only slow and maybe one blind against Pit Lords. Duriel was by far the most difficult boss with his resistance. But after playing Diablo 2 for ages I was not expecting anything less :D
6. The fighst against Mephisto was surprisingly easier than I expected. I visited all things which boost your morale (cant think of how they are called) and after several reloads I managed to beat him with almost no losses.
I dont want this to be too long so all in all this map is a genuine masterpiece and enjoyed it to the fullest. If anyone needs help just make yourself known here and we will sort this out. Thank you again Marcel !!!

re:LoD - Lord of Destruction
Thanks, I'm very glad you liked the map. Of course, I recommend Reaper of Souls. You will enjoy it no less than the Lord of Destruction. In addition, I would like to inform you that for two years I have been working on the Diablo 1 map, which will be even harder than the previous two. Diablo 1 will be completed in about a year.

Author: wasilix, 25-09-2023 13:34 Like - - Lord of Destruction Hi Peter. I checked my playthrough out of curiosity. I had 1140 sharpshooters, 23 AAs and 166 Gold dragons + some 1s. It was enough to beat him losing only 1s. I had many more failed attempts before that though, but those were either with a smaller stack of sharpshooters or different composition :D Really needed that bigger stack for my strategy to work, also 1 very useful morale on them.
Author: Peter (Slovakia), 25-09-2023 12:27 Mephisto - Lord of Destruction Hi Marcel, both pictures regarding Mephisto fight are blurry, cant clearly see the amount of your troops before and after. Can you send me better pictures please? Thanks a lot
Author: wasilix, 07-07-2022 08:32 Like Playthrough - Lord of Destruction Hi there!
After beating Reaper of Souls I took a big break before taking on your next map for a good reason. Playing so many intense battles without resurrect and many times having to sacrifice troops, including valuable ones is exhausting. Yet, your maps are extremely fullfilling partly because of that.
Parallels with D2 are amazing. It was a joy to see how you made D2 storyline unfold in the H3 universe. Even little details like the last guard before Baal, I never realized that they look very much like crystal dragons :D
I had big trouble having a fast start. Had a big delay before going for BloodRaven, lost some time in the middle game, but still managed to finish in under 10 months with some time to spare in 1st attempt without restarts. Not sure how it happened :D
A couple of days after finishing this map, the most remembered fight was Mephisto. Nailing it with practically zero losses was very satisfying.
On a side note, I wish you'd ramp down resistance use. In practice, the player will have to search for an attempt when resistance doesn't work against him/her. In some fights it may actually even be abused. I don't remember who was it, but I used pairs of 1 pegasi to block their shooters in my game. However if everyone except these shooters were slowed down, it would allow doing the same with just 1. All in all, it's probably the only thing I'd change. However, I was pretty lucky with that, and SoD RNG is better in that regard than HotA RNG is.

sacrifice spell - Lord of Destruction
I don't think this spell is set somewhere 100% obtainable. The first place where you can theoretically obtain this spell is the pyramid in act II, right before entering the Arcane Sanctuary. The second place is the ending city of Act III of Durance of Hate, where this spell can appear. There is also a random scholar next to Caldeum in Act II that can give you this spell, but that's unlikely.
Author: sphinxx, 28-06-2020 10:40 Lod 1.14 - Lord of Destruction Just finished the new version of the map in 330 days on the highest difficulty. Could have finished it 1 or 2 weeks earlier if not stuck on leviathan and had stables from the third month in cloister.
Imho Duriel is still the most challenging enemy of the game but this time I played with +3 luck and +3 morale against him so it was a lot easier.
Even without resurrection Baal is still way to easy to beat. This is definitely where the map still needs an update, the rest of the map is very balanced (maybe the ancients are a bit to weak without magic).
Nonetheless like someone said it here before its one of the best maps in recent years..

re: Lod 1.14 - Lord of Destruction
Duriel must be so strong, because later there is some kind of downtime in the game, because it takes a long time to get to act III. During this time, the army's losses can be supplemented. In my opinion it should be like this. I will try to slightly strengthen Baal. I am very happy that the map gave you fun.

Hello marcel
Playing the new version of the map. Just passed leviathan but if he stands at exactly the position like in the Screenshot u have to spend one step more to reach the black border and of course its impossible then.. I send a random hero through the purple border so he finally moved and than I could reach the safe spot but obviously it schouldn go that way and of course I lost some days..

Author: kolotok (Kyiv, Ukraine), 12-05-2020 11:14 kolotok - Lord of Destruction Dear Marcel, thank you a lot for that good map and a great job! I’ve done it in 9,5 months.
There is my feed-back, that can be improve on the map:
1) in the description or at the beginning, it would be nice to give initial settings regarding magic: there will be no resurrection and clone, so conduct battles carefully and without losses, tactics or shooting is more important than fire magic or intelligence,
2) it would be great to have sorcerers from bought up fanatics,
3) you can liberate few enemies with forces in the middle of the game. The map is the static so few free enemies will bring more actions,
4) as an option, it would be nice to endow the floating Tazar with some necessary artefact for passing. Tazar doesn’t have needful or bonus artefacts and the player will forget about him soon, it’s sadly :)
5) it would be nice to hide unique specialists (Gelu, Orrin, Neela etc.) in prisons and release them as they progress. The availability of almost all the heroes in the tavern greatly facilitates the game.
One more time thank you a lot!

This is a great map. I appreciate your effort. You should have spent a lot of time for that. It is always challangeing, since the beginning to the end. The resource adjustment is unbelieveable, best that I have seen.
But I am stuck at Mephisto. I am in Month 8 Week 3, have 1.2k sharpshooters and 200 Gold dragons. Rest is useless so I use Phoenixes, 1-2 in each slot to keep the enemy behind. I don't have much gold either. I even can not get close to beat him.
I restared the map all over 3 times, but no luck. Do I miss anything? You gave force field but that is useless either. I have lost nearly no troops until now, so I guess there is sth going wrong in here. I don't want this to end like this. Help plz. Thanks.

Reaper of souls playthrough - Lord of Destruction
Some time ago I wanted to replay it and make a playthrough. It's really a great map. Maybe I will still play it, but not sure about recording now :D
The thing is a certain lady started making one herself. Anything I will be able to produce will be unimpressive in comparison regardless if I try to replicate her approach or use a more conventionaI. I would however strongly recommend playing this map before watching her playthrough. This way you'll have a lot of fun twice, otherwise I would argue you may miss all the fun and perhaps won't appreciate her skill and the map itself. She didn't finish the playthrough yet. I'm almost literally sitting here and biting my nails waiting for her to upload the next act :D
I found one other playthrough on YT, although this other streamer isn't particularly fun to watch (GlennYoutube), I find him complaining way too much, and his videos take way too long, but I think you'll be able to find some help in his videos if you look hard enough :D
You can also come for help here if you ask for it :) But when finish it, first thing you should do is to watch the playthrough of that lady. Not sending you a link now to save you from the temptation :D
Author: sphinxx, 10-04-2020 07:13 Finally done it.. - Lord of Destruction So finally managed to beat baal on day 329..
A challenging balanced and overall very solid map with simple story and nice disign..
Not really something new but the author took the very best of some classics a la wayfarer or empire of the world.. I found some things were very cool for example time and money management I had always exactly so much money to buy the minimum I wanted but not more.. And a year is OK time to maybe do some little mistakes but not to collect big armies.
Some minor critic points is that duriel is definitely op. It's not like u can't beat him but u loose a lot of army in the middle of the game and don't know if u manage to finish it with what u got left..
And the second point is that baal was compared to others and especially to duriel to easy to beat with forgetnessful und resurrection..
So yeah overall a cool refreshing new map.
Thx to author.

Some additional notes.. - Lord of Destruction
And like Marcel already said the collecting of archers/sharpshooter s is a very important key to success at least until duriel.. I did manage to save all of my sharpshooters until this fight but lost all of them against him but managed to save all of my gold dragons.. Than gold dragons and archangels were my main weapons and I also managed almost not loose not a single one until the last fight. Versus Baal ae were the main weapon because of -80 to defence. Ld I needed only to block door. And some phoenixes to take the first hit..
So yeah guys if u want to win u have to save level 7 heroes and sacrifice all the other bullshit.. That was my tactic..

water magic - Lord of Destruction
the map is well balanced, but you need to know that water magic is crucial for the baal. Unfortunately i did not have water ,so the end became impossible. Furthermore i had at least 20 less attack-defence totally. Even Duriel was hard but i managed to save the main army (losses 20 golden dragons)
Author: Leo (Porto Alegre, Brazil), 08-04-2020 20:18 Is it possible? - Lord of Destruction I would like a reply from the map author if it's possible to beat Summoner with this army/stats. Maybe I'm not just good enough as I'm an average player. Anyway, lost like 2/3 hours and a lot of positions, spell casting and had 0 chance to beat him.
Author: Leo (Porto Alegre, Brazil), 08-04-2020 20:15 U can't lose archers - Lord of Destruction Spent 2 days on the map, the only tip it gives you after you get Archers dwell is that "its important to recruit these guys for later in the game".
Even if I get them almost every week (they don't stack without HotA, and the author say it must be played in SoD. So I'm playing in SoD)I lost a few in some battles. The map doesn't give you sh1t of resources/units and the battles gets harder and harder and harder. >> Long story short: you can't lose a single archer until you get the dude that can upgrade them to Sharpshooters, otherwise you can't win sh1t. Or you actually can, but you will keep losing some units and in the long term it's impossible.
After a lot of reloads from mid game+, I reached summoner's boss at month 6 with 300 Sharpshooters, 20 phoenixes, some dragons and physic elementals and its just impossible, dude have better stats, 200+ Enchanters, Faerie Dragons and he even casts clone. Its just ridiculous.
Well, I had a fun time till this point of the game. But, I see the only way to win this fights is restarting it all and its some damn exhausting play for 10hrs+ winning battles with Slow+Kite+Shooters.
IF YOU'RE LAZY TO READ: To finish this map you have to recruit archers every week and don't lose a single one of them until the stupidest OP boss.

First of all, I must remind you that this map has impossible level dificulty not without a foundation. This is one of the most difficult maps in Poland in the opinion of many good players. Many recognized players streaming this map on youtube, and several failed. I enclose my screen from the recent map transition, which shows my army, which I defeat Summoner without major losses. I know that as an author I know much more than the player who first faces the Lord of Destruction, but really it is possible to go through this map, but actually guarding shooters is an important element to success, which does not mean that it is the only one. Leo, I sent you my private save from the game, if you want, you can draw conclusions based on it. Still, I hope you liked the map a bit.

Thanx for your reply! - Lord of Destruction
Hey, marcel. Thanks for the fast answer. I didn't mean to offend your or anything with the commentary. To be honest, I'm a big fan of Diablo 2 and HOMM and I was enjoying this map like nothing else.
With this said and a little bit more relaxed after failing the map, I got kinda mad (seems childish but I'll share this anyway) for taking the early game note serious (If you want to beat it in nightmare difficulty, you shouldn't realod for best paths, just to fix some battles losses). Well, during my journey I lost some heroes to trap events on the map, another battles I lost some ranged units but moved on anyway (to not reload it 20 times and finish it in "Normal difficulty") and it really costed my progression on the map.
That being said, the map is beautiful, the story events are very relatable to Diablo in HoMM way. Excellent job you had there, my friend. Maybe I'll try to beat this map again sooner. I really enjoyed it till this point, and don't feel like cheating or continuing the load game you sent me via e-mail.
Another last question, if you want u can answer me via e-mail to don't spoil anything to other players here. I see the other dude here in the commentary section had the same problem. How the hell you got so many on attack/defense stats? I thought myself a master on hidden things after finding some hidden Tents, golden and artifacts, but the map just doesn't have much +1 ATK / +1 DEF camps and the artifacts are kinda crappy. What I'm missing?

re: Stuck at Duriel - Lord of Destruction
Hey. I'm afraid You won't be able to win without sharpshooters. You should protect them better. In addition, You have fairly low statistics for this moment of the game, which also makes Duriel too strong for You. This is one of the most difficult bosses on the map, later it's a bit easier, especially in act III.

Author: Dan (USA), 30-03-2020 02:11 Great map - Lord of Destruction Great map! I really enjoyed playing it. However, I wasn't able to finish unfortunately. I beat Diablo and when I went to travel to the continent in the northwest (the snow one), I couldn't get there.
It told me to crowded to land with a boat. But I could not find another way to get there. There is no spot close enough to use water walk to get there. So I'm forever stuck there. I was also never able to get to the secret Gorgon area. Map editor shows where the walkway is, but I couldn't get through. So it appears that there are issues with passability using Hota as the author stated. Even with versions prior to Hota 1.6 (I'm using an older version because of the bugs).
But overall, it is a great map and I had a ton of fun playing it while I could.

re: - Lord of Destruction
Thanks for opinion. I'm glad you liked the map. If you played earlier versions of HoTA, you can go there. I am sending you an email so as not to spoil people's solutions. I will send you a link to a video showing how to do it. It's in Polish, but you'll know what to do. Regards

Author: marcel33 (Poland), 18-03-2020 17:13 leviathan hints - Lord of Destruction It is a bit complicated. I don't want to reveal how to solve it, but you should solve two puzzles. You received the first one from Tyrael after defeating Duriel. Tyrael told you: However, to reach Kurast, you must solve the mystery: "Seek help where people miss it most while beeing exile. Also find out who she is Aello! Second you get from Meshif: Sailors' tales show that we will not be able to swim safely to Kurast, because a biblical water demon - Leviathan is prowling the waters. You say that Tyrael told you to solve the mystery…Hmm… I don't know what that might mean, but I'll tell you that from the old sailing applications my grandfather gave me, I know that there is a powerful sailing artifact that, when used by a person with innate abilities, can help bypass the beast. According to grandfather, he was hidden in a high area of rock with a very steep side. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this mysterious person who has innate talents that can strengthen the artifact's effect.
Summarizing, you must find special person with powerfull abilities, and get artifact, which help you.

re:uf - Lord of Destruction
It is impossible that there would be so many of them. 4k may not be there until the fourteenth month, and this is after the time limit (12 months). You got there very late. Good timing is about 6-7 month.

Look carefully near the tree. There is one specific field where you get Inifuss scroll.

Author: marcel33 (Poland), 15-03-2020 21:33 recommendations from the author - Lord of Destruction I suggest you to play the shadow of death version, which is most compatible with the map (HD Launcher is good solution). Map in HotA 1.6.0 or later version is absolutely non playable because of movement changeings. There may be difficult moments and doubts whether the map is correct but map is 100% playable.
I wish you a good game - autor marcel33
