Well approximately three and a half years, 126 reviews, 50,000 words and well over 1000 playing hours later I've decided to stop writing Heroes IV Map Reviews. I was going to finish with a review of Charles Watkins's ambitious Lost Crusade but a map bug prevented me from finishing it, then a nasty system meltdown stopped me from studying it in the map editor and then a complete re-format followed by me being unable to locate my Heroes IV CDs means I can no longer play the game anyway. So, enough is enough and so that's no more Heroes IV map reviews from me.
I've had a blast playing these custom maps - they're vastly better than the ~100 CD scenarios I wasted my time playing! - so a huge thanks to the map-making community which has provided me with such entertaining fodder for my reviews. Even the bad maps were fun because they gave me a chance to vent every so often! Thanks, also, to map-maker's for being mostly tolerant of me dissecting their babies and sorry to those whose noses I put out of joint or whose creations I never got around to playing/reviewing.
I've said previously that I'd like to continue reviewing when Heroes V comes out but quite frankly I'm flat broke and I'm really not sure I'll fork out AU$100 for the game. We'll see when the time comes, but until then, I'm taking off my map reviewer hat.
Cya round the forums!

It's been a wonderful time and an achievement to enter the history books of Celestial Heavens, though we have been growing accustomed to less review activity lately as PB has found out what it's like to have a real life. By the way, how's the wife?
