(I got some feedback about the empty spaces on the map. I'm gonna fix that
soon. Thanks for all positive and helpful comments)
It has three versions {Normal, Allies and Hard}.
Description:
The fifth Great Nations War is about to start, and you can't just ignore that!
Features:
- A lot of possibilities, funful tricks, shenanigans and EasterEggs.
- Some lore about each nation at the start, varying from a player to another. Much more lore and adventures all over the map.
- The "Fly", "DD", and "Water Walk" spells don't appear in any Mage Guild, but you can get them through the adventure Map. "Town Portal" can be found in most towns.
- Each Player has different paths worth challenging.
Looking forward to your feedback.

(I am a sh*tter)Good memes, especially in tavern dialogue. No real FORCED storyline to follow, which is an upside to me,never really like when a map maker decides to force us to read his garbage novel. Lots of empty space underground, though this is not so much the case above, overall does not hurt the map horribly.

Thanks.. - War Roulette
Thanks for the review.. It made me happy.
I may later make a better version of the map and get rid of the empty spaces.
Author: Ser Ironfist, 27-05-2022 20:58 Good start, but needs more work - War Roulette Please don't get discouraged by some of these rude comments down there. You don't owe us anything, so don't apologize.
I would say with some additional work your map can become quite decent. I really like the way you put together the different land types, looks beautiful on the mini map.
I would say let it sit for a while and then give it some more attention.

Thank you so much ❤ - War Roulette
You just make me feel better ^_^"
There's somethings I didn't put in mind when I made the map. I know I also should have tested it more, but I didn't have the time. I'm a writer and a publisher and always have a ton of work on me, but I always come back to my fav game of all time and give it some time (or some weeks hahaha).
the main problem with editing this map is that I have to edit the three version separately, and that thought just drive me mad hahaha.
Thanks again, Sir Ironfist. I'll try again and do my best ^_^
Author: Chiffa (NL), 09-05-2022 21:17 Please build more content - War Roulette Hey, man, thanks for your attempt at map building (we always need more people for that). I think you got the gist from other comments that the current 1.0 version is weak and raw. I join there: its just too empty, e.g. those narrow, long and empty underground connections. Please dont get discouraged and soldier on. Giant maps are very difficult to make, if you have not thought up of enough content just make an L-size.
I imagine you, as a fellow player, have tried favored maps from this website. Try to use their tricks: a map with no mines except for wood/ore will feel empty, and will require interesting tactic shifts. There are couple of maps with a ton of portals - a nightmare to protect territory. You can put a lot of resources and mobs in the passages, that will slow travelling through and will make it feel longer/larger. Make an enemy hero for the (hard)-version with 60+ stats, he will be a rhinoceros in a glasshouse tramping over the map.
These kind of stuff, if well implemented, makes a map shine.
Good luck and looking forward to your progress with new maps!

Thank you for all these advises. I'll try again and do my best.
Author: Flou (France), 05-05-2022 20:14 can be greatly improved - War Roulette thx for your map but

Thanks. - War Roulette
Thanks for your feedback.
It's my first Giant map for HotA so I decided to start with a little simple like the original HoMM3 maps (i.e. Myth and Legend).
Sorry for the empty spaces, I'll fix it in the 2nd version.
For the easiness I just wanted it to be suitable for all players, but I'll try and work on it more.
Thanks again

can still be greatly improved - War Roulette
keep trying ISCOTO ! Take into account the advices of others players and don't forget you are one too ! (emptyness, scenario, useless quest/border guard, roads, spells...)
btw, Iscoto (the ranger) was the only difficulty because he was wearing Ring of Oblivion :)
Achieved in 7 months with the map editor at the very end

Thanks for your precious advises and kindness. I'll do my best.
Author: RXD, 05-05-2022 19:01 not worth playing - War Roulette "some empty spaces"
Its all empty. Whats the point, you can straight go to the enemy and kill him, only it takes 1000 days bc its just vast empty spaces with some objects between. There is no lore, no story, some text at the beginning and in between, just bad easter eggs (1 mage on a bridge saying: u shall not pass, haha so original like every 2nd map has this reference to lotr).
Its the worst giant map i played. And I tried all of them on hota. just uninspired.
im 99% sure no one enjoys playing this
but maybe u have some bs explanation for this harsh, honest feedback

Explanation - War Roulette
Thanks for your feedback.

Sorry for the empty spaces, I'll fix it in the 2nd version.
I actually put a lot of Easter Eggs from various sources. The Gandalf one was just the most obvious, you don't have to be so harsh.
Author: tm (PL), 02-05-2022 15:58 empty and kinda boring - War Roulette sorry but what's the point of a giant map if it's just rambling through completely empty spaces?

Sorry about that - War Roulette
I knew it won't be satisfying for players like you. I let be some empty spaces for the sake of reality and lore. Sorry it bothers you. I may later made another version with more map content.
Thanks for your feedback
