Hey! My PC broke down! What was I supposed to do, get a loan and buy a new one? Anyway, I've got a new one now, and I'll play it this weekend...ScarlettP wrote: then he came up with some other lame reason why he couldn't play it.

Hello all
Amazing to see this forum still is somewhat alife.
I'm an veteran player of Heroes, must have spend well over 100 hours just on HoMM3.
I had to make an agreement with my wife not to buy HoMM5 when it came out. But this christmas she bought the gold edition for me (I must have done something right after all).
Anyway, I have now finished all the campagnes and was looking after some really good player made maps from you guys.
I mean maps like the "Pride" series (still the best ever IMO) or "Empires of the World" or "Lone Knight". Maps that must have taken months to make.
I like eye-candy and some good story but so far I have only seen a few HoMM5 (standart, HoF, TotE) that has that, and I must have downloaded almost 100 in different sizes.
So, can any of you recomment some maps?, I havent played that many and surely missed out on some great ones, so far only maps from "Grumpy old wizard" has been good...
Cheers..

Well, maybe this forum is more or less dead afterallEl Chita wrote:This is an interesting thread, could someone plz tell some H5-maps which are just good designed like Elysium ? thx
I tried the Elysium, good designed but after a while the AI took way to long on its turns IMO. I hate waiting 5 mins between every turn.
I have only got 2 TotE custom campains to work but both are sylvan style and no my liking atm.
I can recomment "Lucio Dreams", havent finished it yet though. For standard HoMM5 the map "BK-school" is good aswell.
Other than that I'm still looking hard for enjoyable custom maps to play.

Hiya: The AI taking to long? In a way i agree. But then i did this. I took MY turn, with 5 heroes, and timed it. Then i timed all the AI Heroes, and even though it took over 10 minutes total, the time divided by the number of Heroes, was actually a little less than mine.
If you keep going thru gates an whirlepools to get where you actually want to be, so will the AI.
There is nothing like making , and then playing, a Map you made yourself. With all the info here, and in the guides, of what can go wrong, and what works, it is no longer trial an error. Play other peoples Maps, and inbetween make your own map. Even without scripting, it can become really good.

Well, even though I take 10 minutes a turn, with fighting, running, buying and selling, the AI is suppose to do all that in quick modes, its still very long for me to just sit and look at colored bars for 10 minutes.
Anyway, I agree it can be very fulfilling to make ones own maps, These months I'm way too busy in real life to even beginn to understand the map editor though.
10 years back I did made this map for some millenium competition:

It didnt do well, but I tell you, it took me months and its perfect within its limits.
Anyway thanks for the reply..
