Beautiful... just beautiful... Still I saw some stuff like a gem mine next to one of the human castles (the one that's up to Minas Tirith, forgot it's name), but nothing that a map editor can't fix :) Also I liked the "Ent's Hut" where 2 conscripts are needed to get like 25 Treants, I spe...

Now anyone can call me unoriginal for that, but my favorit Zepp song is Stairway to Heaven, and actually that is one of my all time favorits. My 15-year-old students were not impressed... We did a speaking exercise (listening to the song and discussing it in English afterwards), but it went really ...

Vlaad, I played it for a couple of hours last night. I like the concept, but the performance was really bad. I have a 2.8GHZ processor, 1GB RAM, and a fairly good graphics card (NVIDIA 7900 GTX). Even when I lowered the graphics settings, it was very slow. Also, the AI turns were very long, especia...

Looks great, Vlaad. Can't wait to dig my claws into it. Thanks. :) The only thing that worries me is whether performance lags due to the large size of the map. Others have been wondering the same, so let us all know how it goes. I have 1.8 GHz and 900 MB of RAM and the map runs smoothly when I lowe...

Yeah, Sinestro Corps was amazing... as long as there are no Pink Lanterns :D (as Gardner put it). I'll miss the Reis's artwork, but the epilogue seems promising too. As for the Mephisto and the whole Spidey hoopla, it sucks so much I consider it fan art. :D What do you think about Simone's Wondy so ...

A tip for those making XL maps for H5 - don't ever leave the passability check ON when you close the editor. LOL My computer never managed to open the scenario again (I had to open a small map first, turn off the passability check, then open my XL map).

A good analysis, ByteBandit. Has Vel ever published his? It would be interesting to compare notes.

As for the language factor, the explanation is quite obvious - English is spoken all over the world, while Dutch, Serbian or Polish are not.

Thanks, but I had done all that before (to no avail). Anti-Victor at HC mentioned the same problem but solved it by setting the player # (under parameters, e.g. [0]Muscip, [1] PLAYER_3). I haven't tried that yet. By the way, when trying to set this quest hut, I began to realize there are A LOT of th...

Don't apologize LOL - I was just saying your tutorial would get more attention in a separate thread. :)

ByteBandit, I think this thread is about the H5 editor and its issues, not H4. Those who are interested might miss your excellent post since it's kind of misplaced here. Personally, I gave up H3 and H4 mapmaking, since the fan base imploded and I get little to no feedback. In addition, the two moddi...

I've finished half of my Impossible map and it plays smoothly. :D

Dimension Door and Town Portal were game breakers in Heroes 3. Besides, there's Summon Creature, right...?

Back on topic, I must admit the performance of the editor has improved with Tribes (or perhaps it's my new computer B-) ).

If I chose "defeat hero" under the "kind" of quest, what would I have to put under "parameters"?
