How to start? - Robinson Crusoe! - Heroes 3 map

Guys, how do you started this map?
There are two towns you can reach in the first week.
The first, on Robinson's island, guarded by 4 guy, I cannot beat them with 1 crusader, no spells.
The other, can be found by the sailing hero, guarded by ~40 pirates, unbeatable too.
And that's it.

very nice - The Devil Is In The Detail

This map is a true diamond. Every single game day is important, money, resources, heroes moves, all that you need to control all the way till the end. I have played it I guess more then 10 times. Have tried almost for an each race, but the easiest is definitely a Rampart.

From my observations - hero stats is not so important, just advice - don't spend additional time even on visiting universities, averall speed is much more important. And money+Sharpshooters - is a main key here. Collect them as much as possible - with every secondary hero, in camps, in taverns and so on. Once I had attempt when also on 322 day was standing before final undead gate with ~860 Sharpshhoters and some other fat creatures and that was not enough. This time game was very smooth for me all the way - I replayed only battles. Had also a luck that main undead forces attacked me when I was in a castle on a central island, and it was realy easy to defeat him.

Don't see any flaws on that map - it's a masterpiece. If not to take in mind time records - it's intersting to play for each town. Many thanks and respect to you for that work of art Koget.

Koget what do you think about to make this map a bit challenging - for black dragons/devils towns - to move them a bit from a seashore or put some colorful gates and a appropriate tent nearby. The main idea to prevent capturing that towns in one day with admirals hat. So that you need to spent at least 2! days to get to those towns. What do you think?

improvements - The Devil Is In The Detail

Moving castles deeper into the cave was something I considered long time ago - the outcome was adding the underground forts to stop minor heroes with admirals hat collecting castles for free in early stages of the game. But I know that it can still work later - teal will not reinforce the castles as they don't recognize the danger from the seas.. So yes, it could be done and likely would make the map harder/more interesting a bit.

Another idea is probably to merge the treasury zones at 3 / 9 oclock so there is only 1 library / relic set there, as it is easy for human to just take the whole island. :)

Thanks for playing and all the feedback!

And one more idea to make life a bit funnier but I'm not sure here on 100%.
Just to ban clone magic everywhere and add new quest/or new heavily guarded shrine where you can get that magic. I think for a huge amount of players clone is much more valuable then resurrection or water walk spell

Thank you! - The Devil Is In The Detail
Very entertaining map! After playing a lot of Homm3 2human-vs-ai during COVID lockdown months, we picked this map as the comments described it to be a very challenging map. So we buckled up and expected this to take many tries that could take us many tries to win.

The settings we used were impossible variant, 200%, all AI's in one team vs us two (Red & Tan).

First two tries we ended up progressing too slow as the enemies were already way ahead of us after leaving the "main islands". And not just a bit, it was literally RIP. It turned out to be impossible to recover, even if you're an expert in evading big armies for a prolonged time.

Before try 3 we've read some tips on the forum that could help us further. We ended up winning after 8 months. The keys to success turned out to be:

• Gelu/Sharpshooters
• Town portal (snatched it very quickly from the middle island as Pink was already unleashed!)
• Admirals hat through the seer huts

As the title implies, the Devil really is in the Detail on this map. A very well made map, looks great, a big challenge for casual players that happen to be playing this game for many many years such us ourselves, and we know there are many like us out there :)

Once again thanks for making this map. We had a great time!

Hi,

Thanks for a super nice feedback and happy for your win! That is true that rampart/gelu is kind of a "cheat" on the map, I could remove it but then it allows different players to easier complete the map. :-) Nevertheless to win the map without save games is still a great challenge!

Very challenging - The Devil Is In The Detail
Koget, big thanks for your work!
This map is a real challenge for my Heroes skill. I've tried to start with different races, the best start was with the Cove and Leena as starting hero, because I always had a lack of money with other races. Then I've picked Gundula as my main hero (she has the best balance of might and magic in my opinion) and Bedley as stalker. I haven't finished yet, but to 6th month I have beaten all the best teal heroes and almost all pink heroes, and it looks that the rest battles will be easier.
It seems, that AI lacks money to buy all hordes of creatures they get as a boost. I was lucky to get 30 archangels from Castle, and then combination of clone, water magic and intellect made me unbeatable for AI heroes. But anyway, luck meant a lot on this map for me: first, I've got to the center on the same day the pink came out. He grabbed the fire orb and would have grabbed AB on the next turn. AB was very useful to me for hit'n'run strategy (the second luck for me was that heroes without shackles of war came to me first) and is useful to counter opponents' Armageddon. Third, I had to replay some battle to get it won.

Sorry to hear you had a bad map experience. It is true that teal can sometimes pose a great challenge even to a good player. If you try the map again it may play differently. If you look through the comment section you will find many tips on how to play the map.

Never i say it is the best way but somehow it is close to that)

About the results.
would u belive me if i say:
Whole movie had been taken with one shot!
i suppose not :)

Surely, i had to reapeat some combats , and some of that some more than once or twice)
and while moving through the map i ve faced quite enough of slight insulting lacks of movepoints to reach the goal).
not talking of misclicks and so on...
but that is not a great deal for a man who used to play 8-bit game console with no saves at all since the very childhood=)))
... Back to heroes.
pvp on a map generated by template are for "sappers"
and single-player scenario maps are quite suitable for those who know what is "edge of tommorow"=)

in any case gaming style still is a question of private choice

Hydra - The Devil Is In The Detail
rank Hydra is most suitable so it can explain something)
using more then one hero u can move in more then one direction in one turn=)
and having town portal spell u can move ur armies to the place where they are needed at once.
but much armies arent needed to conquer anyone then pink.
couple of azure dragons and AB is well enought for most of situation.
so in general for other fractions u just have to take coast outpost, then spent couple of days to reach central town. and one or two days to manage furthest conflux after that.
gloves, boots, logistics and watering places would be very helpfull).
if u cant reach conflux fast enought use outdoor tavern to take the town. any hero can do that with AB and azures.
for teal u ll surely need navigation and admirals hat(s).
So if ressurection is leaned the greatest problem is hell garrisons. The east one only to be honest).

Could you please explain (in detail, as much detail as possible) how you managed to not just get to the center and beat the main factions, but to beat all of the factions in 72 turns? It takes 13 turns to get from a capital to the center, if you take the shortest path, and don't take any breaks. In light of that, your time looks a bit ... strange.

considering Cove - The Devil Is In The Detail

My nr.1 hero of Cove faction to go with in the early stages of the game is Illor. 3 pluses: 1.- he comes with a small pack of Stormbirds, 2. - Stormbirds and those elderly chaps have a good speed, 3.rd - double strike with Ayssids. In tandem with Eovacius it becomes considerable power in early stages. Bidley in this map is more like a .... gimme those 2 Sea Serpent and later 15K in underground disko-mashroom. But observing your video snippets of walkthrough i started to think: "Why the heck is he/she sailing so far right on the map?" And it brought me to a new approach - why not to try to sail early in the game to some other prison spots to steel some good heroes with their abilities, like Gelu or (?) Dracon ? Hmm!
Anyway - thanks to this community to raise some new thoughts and approaches.
My goal is to try to complete the map in like 333.

other prisoners & so on - The Devil Is In The Detail

Dracon is prisoned not so close to sea bank) and in any case u have to get admirals hat or(and) expert navigation to reach other prisons fast. so it would be not very early game.=) moreover Gelu without packs of elves and archers is not so valuable, either Drackon without mages & monks ;). But why not to try)

As for me i ve become lazy a bit after geting AB+TP and conquering humans biom.
Cause any surface opponent isnt a big deal when u ve got azures+AB, otherwise hell garrissons are a problem without strong stack of sharpshooters (in my case) so i had to breed them.

Strategy is only the same:

gathering Archers/Elfves to train & azures from trees till only Pink left at one of the central town.
Vanish him and strait to the hell)
btw, is it strongly set force field & forgetness at 3rd level of magic guild of the cetral east conflux.
or that's a lucky coincidence?)
(the most usefull spells ) for 3 hell-garrisons with magic support (sure u know what i mean)

that was a couple of years ago: very late game, i was realy exhausted,
but thats possible, without armaggedon blade ressurection or azure dragons).
Next time i learned more about the map and thats became a time(turns)-used minimize challenge.
so thats only your choice "how to play" =)

It happens - The Devil Is In The Detail
This thing happened to me a few times in my life, but never so consistently. I did rage quite a bit and then went into sorrow. I cannot beat this if they have all the advantages AND the blade. And I cannot even reliably get to the blade. If I try 5 times, I might get to it once. And then I have to hope the AI will not troll me. Maybe I will get back to this map in a few years, but for now I am exhausted - I even got the earth magic book that does not have all the earth magic spells which is when I knew this map is supposed to troll me. But I still think that the AI troll is just my natural unluck.

Rise of the Machines - The Devil Is In The Detail
your situation is odd.
looks like you ve got a bug, or...
"Matrix has you" ;)
other players had picked AB and visited TP Shrine before, me either,
but no one complain such an odd AI behavior

The AI refused to give me my turn - The Devil Is In The Detail
I tried this map today. I did not play for a long time, so I got whopped a few times. Finally, I managed to got the Armageddon's Blade and teleport out. I hoped now the map would open up and I could start playing. The next turn the pink AI decided it will get stuck in the teleport and never give me my turn. I tried this several times with several saves a few days back, it always happens. If I take the Blade, the AI will make the scenario literally unplayable. Shame, it looked pretty - but if I cannot get to my turn, pretty won't save it.

I know myself - The Devil Is In The Detail

I could spend a few weeks grinding this, but I know I would not enjoy it. The fact I know others can get the blade, but I can not, would driveme crazy. The devil indeed, is in detail. Hence why I might return to it one day, but now I want to take a break from this particular map. ;)

Stuck - The Devil Is In The Detail

Hi Boleslav,

I am sorry to hear about your bug. I haven't seen that before in any other gameplays, hence it seems to be an AI/HotA bug. It must have been bad luck! :) Still respect for picking up the AB before the AI, as it is not easy, especially on 200% difficulty level.

I don't think it makes sense? To grind AB. 1 I don't use it (I don't see the point, its not as powerful unless you have very weak armies) 2 The likelihood that you'll get it is nil, because if you are early enough to grab it, your armies are so weak that you won't be able to get past the mobs guarding it. Play how you wanna play, there are many ways to get an OP thing in this map, for example Gleu or Dracon (who sit in prisons in north and north east parts)

Oh the calling of Heroes - The Devil Is In The Detail

Of course I could not resist the temptation and tried it again (during which time the game got corrupted and I had to reinstall it which nearly gave me a heart attack, cause I was worried I would lose my save). I won, took me 319 days, so I did it in less than a year, which for rusty myself is moooore than good - do not patronize me. :D I gave up rushing the middle and brute forced it. Got Kyrre, got Gelu, got the spells (and shared them through scholar with everybody), got thousand phoenixes and eventually managed to take all of the surface, then the bottom and then the last enemy hero with the AB blade and a huge army - but the Conflux units overwhelm 5 necropolises - and I had the Statue of Legion to boot. I did not go for any of the special dragons in the end - I just did not see the appeal unless I could get a lot of them.

Sure one can do better, and

As far as "Factory is coming" it's time to leave Heroes for good.
Thanks and Good luck to all! =)

Details - The Devil Is In The Detail

for more details this time i have videos of my walk through,
but there are so much episodes of exchanging artifacts or armies between heroes, choosing the route or just staring at the map making descisiions..., so i would rather name this slow-walk(as it realy is) insteed of fast-run (as some one can say). i m sure one wont to watch this boredrom, and m not ready to cut it in a nearest future, once i do that, then i ll post the link here)

You used many heroes of the same variety to strengthen your early army right?

Personnel policy - The Devil Is In The Detail

havent clearly understand what do you mean...,
but i ll try to describe my personnel policy)
yes i ve been trying to make heroes learn similar secondary skills,
earth and wisdom undoubtable, else is desirable but not so important.
knew that water would be needed to face garrisons, so tried to learn it too when this opton was avaliable
learning navigation isnt nessesary for all, 3 or 4 navigators are well enough
good specialization is important either but not critical for most of cases.
Kyrre made long passes shorther to reach distant towns, Mephala let covering units to live longer in combat when magic was forbidden.
and surely Gelu who trained sharpshooters for the only damaging stack through almost all the pass.
(have hired storm & ice elementals for two last garrisins only.)
Dracon is an option, but enchanters are bit more expansive and less of them are avaliable to hire.in any case blue have got him from the prison first)
skipping Neela at the 2nd or 3rd week wasnt a good idea, so after learnig town portal had some discomfort for some turns till Octavia came to tavern.
hope i ve answered ur question)
