These lands used to peaceful, without conflicts and troubles between neighbours, but recently, things changed drastically. The lords started fighting over things, and a couple of outsiders moved in for who knows what reasons. There's only one way of stopping this mess...
Author: Karl K (Timonium, USA), 21-09-2024 05:43 Like Fun exploration and travel - Crime Cities I played a version called Crime Cities v2 that has the same map and claims it fixed all the bugs.
The travel in this map is top-notch. At least 25 gates and a whirlpool with 12 different exits. The one-way gates make for fun exploring and combat. Because of not having Town Portal, each of your heroes has a big impact on the map, not just the main. You have to use the travel to evade the enemy or come to your towns' defense. You also don't get Summon Boat for a good while, making finding a shipyard a good reward.
The start of the map is a fun and unique situation with good guidance to give you some goals. The combat is a bit too easy in the last half. If I play this map again I may try delaying for a week to see if I can catch up. Maybe having four Inferno towns is a mistake because those are so easy to aggregate into a big army. It would make sense to disable Castle Gate if you're disabling Town Portal.
I don't know what people are talking about with the story -- I hardly noticed any.
Anyway, this is a fun map for exploring and fighting. Every hero is finding cool stuff. Classic Heroes.

Author: chrisp1v, 20-02-2022 14:24 Great map - Crime Cities Overall a very interesting map. I got town portal, DD and fly around month 3 which made the map quite boring afterwards though. Disabling those spells and only enabling town portal would make it much more interesting.

Gelu - Crime Cities
Oh yea, I also unlocked Gelu after I got all those spells so now its even easier.
Author: Derakusa (Estonia), 16-10-2019 17:09 Years pass, I still like the map - Crime Cities Hello. Just wanted to let you know that this map is legendary for me. I finished it about 15 times already past 5 years. I got an inspiration and made the map called Navigation politics that has also each tribe with a different story. Your map is so unique and interesting and there are not many others like this. I also like the fact that moving with a ship is important here. You probabaly will never read this anymore since the map is old but just know that there are certain guys like me who like these kind of maps a lot.
Author: Kost (Lviv, Ukraine), 14-01-2017 16:28 Great map - Crime Cities one of the best maps I've played. Choose green or human start, maybe purple, others are to hard to play at impossible level
Author: Morten (Bergen, Norway), 06-10-2016 16:47 My quest ended in glitch - Crime Cities Ok map I guess. I like the work you have made with all the different sequence depending on what town discovers them. It gives the map mor replay value. Dough, the start was brutal, with litle or no resources.
I did not understand the reason to remove TP. Since the distance between everything takes much micro, it goes of the cost of having fun. It could at least be opened to every player at a certain time or after a certain dificult battle. The underground fight vs 500 Archangels or Arch Devils could at least give you more than the "kinda worthless artifact "Power of the Dragonfather" It's a ok artifact to have, but it takes up so many rooms in your inventory to be good, also if you can defeat that amount of enemies, you don't need the armor.
I did not finish the map, becasue a glitch came after 4 or 5 month. Blue froze. Dough I had taken nearly all underground and the Dragonfather artifact. So much micro could have been avoided. You have 8 heroes where 1 is your main and continue on, and the rest must be microed to give either support or moving defences around to the captured towns.

Author: HardstyleZilink (Saskatoon), 01-10-2014 07:19 Awesome Map except... lots of glitches :/ won't go through them all but from comments I can see that there are other problems I have not yet encountered! all in all good map keep working hard on it and... yeah
Author: mtor (Modiin, Israel), 10-08-2014 08:17 Excellent game, in spite of stuck Excellent game, in spite of stuck.

Author: Nostalgic (Lubljana, Slovenia), 13-04-2014 23:29 Any more maps like this? Map is great, i love different stories for different player positions.

Truth
Had the same problem with prison containing conflux hero. Had to load some backup save and rush to get there first myself.

quite not - Crime Cities
you just have to use Fly or Dimension door and come to it from south-west
Author: Koshak (Sacramento, USA), 03-04-2014 04:54 Like Great map Despite of all the complains, the map is wonderful and playable. Yes, purble can't deside where to go after he releaces the prisoner, but I went back and didn't let him, and took his DD scroll.
And thanks for that huge pile of gold, it did make game more fun (I won't tell where it is though). It was a good treat. MORE GAMES LIKE THAT please. Thanks.
Author: alukim (Slovakia), 03-03-2014 21:15 The Game bug the game has a bug once purple player (com) releases the hero from the prison. His turn never ends..

Author: MiuMiu (Faraway, Kingdom), 22-02-2014 17:59 a player's feedback + good for somewhat experienced players. Just like it was mentioned earlier, lack of some resources at the beginning poses a much greater challenge if you play it on Impossible.
+ Good map design, the action develops really fast and players are easily connected to each other, yet starting positions are somewhat secluded that you have the time to prepare
+ storyline
- fly/DD availability. To make it even worse, some artifacts granting these spells are accessible from an earlier game (just kill lots of level 5 in one location). I can't really understand the justification of turning off town portal/water walk, yet leave DD/fly on.
- Some minor map bugs (like that +6 Behemoth event)
Author: Excuse Me (Sosnowiec, Poland), 13-02-2014 15:22 Cool map, but... Nice map but there are several bugs that ruin the whole scenario :/
Every day I get 30+ behemoths :/
Events should be fixed :)

Author: Kingpin (Poland), 12-02-2014 15:27 Great multiplayer map Clearly, a lot of good work has gone into this masterpiece. Every fraction has its own story and a different way of playing. Action starts early, but the game will take long to complete. Relative resource scarcity will test your resource management skills, and if you play on impossible mode, the computers actually pose a challenge. Lots of seer's huts and towns to capture - what more could you ask for?
