After long and terrible wars, the kingdoms of Vallaria finally succeeded in settling their differences. Intended to last for many years, a peace treaty was signed. It lasted only two. The reason? The arrival of Thoran, the Wizard King.
Author: Dee (Calgary,Canada), 08-05-2024 21:16 Was good but crashed - The Rise of Thoran I am playing on my iPad and was enjoying this map, but for whatever reason at one point, the red team crashed and now I’m not able to continue, but it was fun while it lasted
Author: johannes (gothenburg, sweden), 06-04-2024 15:40 Like great map - The Rise of Thoran was ready to enter the northern sidekingdoms when the left side landing was occupied with crewmates so i couldnt land and fight them. is there another solution to be able to fly past them.
Author: Svampthing (Sweden), 25-03-2024 17:38 Fun map! - The Rise of Thoran Thank you for putting in all the hard work to make this map!
Always nice with maps that are playable even if you are a little skill challenged :D
Author: Tim (Deutschland), 01-01-2024 22:19 Great map - The Rise of Thoran Thanks for this nice map for impossible difficulty. Enough resources, many enemies but you have enough time to explore. Even the sea has a lot of treasures. Build at least 2 strong armies

That's so nice to hear, friend! I'm really happy to know that you had fun playing my map. Thanks for taking the time to write this message and letting me know. Hugs from Argentina!
Author: Adam Schatzl (Sweden), 29-05-2021 19:42 Stupid map - The Rise of Thoran I dont like this map at all. So many strange things. An island with a Dragon utopia that you cant enter. A portal that leads to a island that you are stuck on forever. And no Town Portal or Dimension door either -.- This is 10 hours of my life I'll never get back.

Reply - The Rise of Thoran
I'm sorry to hear you had trouble solving the obstacles of the map. I can assure you, there's a way to get out of all the areas of the map. Some are more difficult than others, but you shouldn't get stuck anywhere.
Author: Katharina (Poland), 13-10-2020 12:25 what a great map! - The Rise of Thoran hey! I just finished the map and I enjoyed it so much! I really admire the details and hard work you put in. It's really adventurous and it felt the fairy tale vibe :) just one remark: some spots were unavailable and one of the most importants was the dragon castle. but besides it's perfect! very good job!

Strange, the previous player said that the map is too easy, while you say it is impossible. I guess you must have waited too long before leaving your starting point. There are several warnings in the story intended to push the player to advance. It's only logical that your enemy will get stronger if you allow him control of all his castles and regions for long. Sorry you couldn't enjoy it!

well
I chose Necropolis as faction because of the vampires... I just get so many vampires as possible because they are so overpowered! Literally I just cleared the entire map only with my starting hero and the vampires ;-) I also bought a couple of secondary heroes in order to clear faster than ever!
Author: corn flakes (europe), 02-01-2014 16:44 good map I am playing this map and I am in the snowland at the moment and will finish theap soon. In my opinion the map is quite easy especially after the beginning because your main hero's stats are like 50-50-50-50 whereas the main opponent doesn't have such big primary skills. Also, every battle have been quite cakewalk because nothing will stop the vampire lords... ;-)
As for the improvements, I encountered some mistakes in the map. For example, there were three heroes which I had to defeat on the sand island. However, one of them (the barbarian) vanished because I captured her towns earlier so I couldn't battle against her. I hope I didn't miss a key artifact though. Maybe you should give her a town which is unreachable so she didn't vanish. Also, I'm suspicious with the summon boat thing because it is still possible to be stuck one of the islands because you might not have water magic skill. Therefore, if there are no boats near you for some reason, it is impossible to summon boats. I would add some shipyards just for sure :-)
Oh and one thing mpre. Many landing tiles have only one space to land. It is possible that month of creatures can spawn on them and that's why you can't land there anymore = game possibly over. More landing tiles would help against the odds of the creature spawns.. ;-)

Thanks for your comments, buddy! The barbarian hero issue is odd, because in order to get to the barbarian castle you are forced to visit and finish the island with the barbarian hero first (until now, it has always worked this way). Something must have allowed you to get to the barbarian castle before defeating the three heroes...
Author: Lucas Foix (Buenos Aires), 31-08-2013 20:19 Summon Boat Hello, Derrick! But of course there's a 100% way to get out of the middle continent. I made sure your home towns are provided with the summon boat spell, so that if your heroes don't get the town portal spell (there are several ways to get it), you can always use summon boat to get out of any such situation. I update1d the map recently, addressing all the problems that players have found in the past. It's very unlikely to get stuck in any area of the map as it is now. Thanks for playing it!!
love the game. though it's been 2013, i still find heroes 3 fun compared to heroes 4 and 5. simple but challenging. continue making more!
Author: Derrick, 29-08-2013 06:33 This map would be great.. Except my main hero is stuck on the middle continent and there is NO town portal spell to be found. The only way I could get it is to defeat King Marnos, but he's running around the sea attacking all of my towns that can't stand against 3k+ minotaurs, power liches, etc. There should 100% be some sort of mechanism to get your hero out of the middle island.. Seriously.
Author: Lucas Foix (Buenos Aires, Argentina), 11-06-2012 19:58 To Vlad I appreciate your comments, Vlad! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the map. Regarding its difficulty (or lack of it), I'm at a loss about it. Some players found it impossible and told me that this kept them from enjoying the map, while others, (the majority, fortunately), had no problem in this regard. I guess the ones that find it too hard do so because they wait too much before attacking Greenleaf and Mandrake, and the enemy grows too strong with so many castles. Anyhow, thanks for your thoughts!
Author: Vlad Mirciu (Zalau Romania), 11-06-2012 13:11 Good Job The Story is fantastic ! Map ... in my oppiniom is a little bit to easy , and I play it at 200% , I played it whit Castle , waited in tavern for another hero (Mephala) - Expert Armory ,I advice everybody to play whit this kind of heroes who ar expert in armory or expert in offense like Crag Hack , Anyway this map whit fire magic sill , U will crush everybody , I played whithout , my skills was this : Armory , Wisdom , Leadership , Air , Earth , Water , Logistic and Luck . Anyway , I got chiken skin when I was reading the story , trully amazing , keep going , and make please more maps ! 10x to U !
Author: Lucas Foix (Buenos Aires, Argentina), 17-03-2012 02:03 To Bohumila and Wbs Thanks, Bohumila! I hope you like the new version =)
I'm sorry you couldn't beat it, Wbs. It actually surprises me, because I played it several times, and so did many others, and no one seems to have any problem defeating Thoran. You must have waited a very long time before invading the realm of the elves or minotaurs (depending on which side you chose), that's the only way for the ai to grow to such vast numbers. I made sure that the story remarks that time is of the essence and that it is imperative to conquer the lands of Mandrake or Greenleaf as soon as possible, so that they don't become impossible to defeat. In any case, I'm sorry you didn't like it.
Author: Bohumila (Prague, Czech Republic), 17-03-2012 01:03 Like Bohumila (Prague, Czech Republic) Thanks a lot, Lucas, I´m just gonna download it - looking forward tojtrying... Once again, good job! :-*
Author: wbs (lithuania), 27-02-2012 20:59 not good this map is waste of time where you think you can beat the map and then you later notice that there are zounds of enemies..
not fun at all...
Author: Lucas Foix (Buenos Aires, Argentina), 01-02-2012 21:31 New, updated version, uploaded Thank you, Bohumila! In appreciation to yours and all the kind comments that I've been getting through these years, I finally completed an update for the map, which has just been uploaded to the site. I hope you enjoy it.
I think I managed to fix all the issues that players reported over the years and considerably improved gameplay and ai behavior. I also expanded the story, added several events and new map elements.
Thanks again to all of you. Had it not been for your wonderful feedback, I would never have gone back to the map =)
Author: Bohumila (Prague, Czech Republic), 22-01-2012 19:43 Like Great map !!! Hello Lucas,
I just want to let you know that even after so long a time, people are still playing your map... :-))
It´s one of the best maps I´ve ever played, I really enjoyed it - you did an amazing job, thank you so much!
Regards,
Bohumila
Author: Lucas (Buenos Aires, Argentina), 21-01-2011 00:42 Update Hello everyone. I apologize for taking so long to come back to the page. I really appreciate your comments. In fact, they even drove me to go back to the map and correct all the problems that you mentioned. I thought that since it's from RoE nobody was playing it anymore, but since some of you are, it's only right that I fix everything I can to make it more enjoyable. I'm changing gameplay, language and plot issues, so I'd appreciate any suggestions that you may have =)
It's been a while and probably none of you will come back to read me, but I'd like to reply to each of your posts anyway:
Iulia Aura: I haven't made any new maps, Iulia, but I'm planning to make one for Heroes VI, if I like the game when it comes out. In the meantime, I'm working on this one, to make it better.
Geoff: Thank you so much for taking the time to e-mail me, Geoff. Unfortunately, I'm no longer using that e-mail address (now you can reach me at lucasfoix@gmail.com) , so I'm glad you decided to copy & paste your message here. You are right about dragon utopia. I just corrected that, as well as the problems with summon boat, the pyramid, and some AI bugs (Prince Yago or Angus, for instance, when controlled by the AI, sometimes got stuck at the beginning). If you make a map yourself please let me know! I'd like to play it and test it for you if you like. Thanks again!
Fatquack and Mira: I'm SO sorry for not thinking of that before. You're right, if there's no summon boat in any of the nine cstles that you can reach before heading into the Ramallon sea, you have no way of doing so. It's unlikely that you won't get the spell in one of the 9 castles, but it can happen (I fixed the problem thanks to your comment, I'll let you all know when the updated map is uploaded). I apologize again for not thinking about this before.
Brad: Thanks a lot! I'm happy you liked it. As I said, all this feedback made me want to improve it as much as I can.
Casper: Thanks to you, Casper, for taking the time to let me know that you liked it.
Sir Magnus: I really thought that this map had been forgotten ages ago. Your message was the final push that I needed to go back to the map editor and fix everything. Thank you for that!
Author: Sir Magnus (Denmark), 14-12-2010 03:02 Really great map and story A really great map. Just wanted to let you know that people still play this great map you made a long time ago, and used a lot of time making. I just finished it and loved it.
Author: Casper (Delft, The Netherlands), 25-11-2010 13:38 Like Excellent map Dear Lucas,
I've been playing a lot of homm3 lately, and I discovered your map 'thoran'. My compliments for such a great map! It has a very good story and I really enjoyed playing it. Thank you very much ;)
Regards,
Casper
Author: brad (England), 25-10-2010 21:08 Brad The best map i ever played on great job you should be very proud of yourself you have great ideas and the storyline for the map is brilliant
Author: mira (europe), 18-04-2010 21:14 great map so far, but... I have the same problem; after having defeated the elves, how do I get a boat or go on with the game otherwise?
Author: fatquack (Europe), 12-08-2009 20:18 Unwinnable? I have defeated the elves, but now I seem to be stuck, none of my castles have the summon boat spell, so I can't leave. Did I miss something?
Author: Geoff (Santos, Brazil (at the moment)), 16-07-2008 03:31 awesome map Hi,
i already sent you a mail but think it didn't arrive so i paste the content here again...
i played your map and enjoyed every minute of it!
Found out your mail adress in the map... thought: why not send a little mail to congratulate you.
It was even more fun to play than most of the maps of the game itself, and very original.
so maybe it took you a while, but the result is awesome dude! think i'm gonna make some maps myself.
I play HOM&M 3 since 6 years or something, it's such a simple game but it remains fun to play.
Only one little thing: in the dragon utopia you find an artifact that allows you to fly, so you can "cheat" and don't have to seek all of the keymaster's tents... but whatever, very nice job!!!
HOM&M forever!
Author: Julius, 16-04-2008 17:23 lololol i cant some how dl this map?wtf?
Author: iulia aura (Bucuresti, Romania), 01-10-2007 17:38 old map good but old
You can play as the necromancers of Noblezombie or the knights of Clearwater.
This map took me a really long time to finish. I wanted it to be perfect in every way (design, story, gameplay, etc.). I hope I succeeded.
