You used many heroes of the same variety to strengthen your early army right?
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)
So we start:

Author: JP82 (Poland/Germany), 01-08-2020 18:44 Holy moly.... - The Devil Is In The Detail Hey there! At first I have to mention that I’m totally done after this playing this map for like 38h in one week at my holiday.
Curiously I’ve chosen this map on my latest HOTA version. Starting with Tower at level Expert. I was surprised by the beautiful detail on the map after playing only random maps for years. Then My main got smashed by the Evil powers early so I just gave up and started as Stronghold (I still got no clue about the map, after having the Earth spell book I was only sure about the banned spells)
So now the Main story (sorry for the length but I have to tell you about my crusade).
So after starting in the bottom mid without any map knowledge beside the Blues (tower) side and the knowledge about the OP AI forces. After getting the third castle in my area suddenly the Green came trough the Gate and he was super strong. I spend about 4 hours only relaying the one fight until I was happy with the result. My main weapon was Berserk through the entire game but you just need some luck with it.
Immediately after the fight the teal player came in dooming me. I was running away for at least 2 months after capturing the towers of the Green player and finally beating teal and getting my homeland again. With this fight I won the Cursed Armor which I used for many fights further on. I still had no idea about the map, I started reading here in the forum because I was so surprised about the difficulty.
I couldn’t expand in the underground on in the mid because I hadn’t the Admirals Hat until the 12th Month(!!!) and where ever I went the enemy’s force was teleporting and b*tch slapping me...
I know it’s a sad story but after having the admirals hat and a week later getting an pink hero with home portal I finally started playing... I took all Castles in the underground and then the South and finally the North.
Teal and Pink were living at least. Teal got beaten in the 14th Month, I got strong casualties but I was rich enough after struggling the whole game before. Then I gathered the Artefakts for the Angelic Alliance with the combination with the Elixir of Life.
I realized that the town portal was in the mid of the Map and I still had no Resurrection spell trough the entire game :D:D Pink was beatable only the “Death” hero was with gigantic super army I was not ready for him. Then suddenly he went to the Sirens and lost sooooo many Units that I immediately ambushed him before he could recover. Quickly after that I won the map. End of The 14 Month It must have been.
Thank you for this (the best HoMM3) experience, I was replying fights for hours and hours. Struggling, sweating and having body pain :D
There are 2 things I would probably change on this map.
1: The garrisons between the kingdoms could be a little bit stronger.
2: Delete the Sirens maybe? :P
3: Maybe push the key tents further into the landscape away from the water?
4: The enemy Players didn’t care about the underground castles at all but gathered everything else on the colour gate areas, maybe this can be fixed/changed somehow?
You got my respect, thanks for stealing my lifetime!
With kind Regards
JP82

Had to restart once or twice but eventually settled on Styg w/ fortress. MVP was definitely tempestuous fire orb and treasuries. I stalled darkstorn outside one of my towns so I could nuke and surrender with a 7k armageddon. Treasuries were also making me 1 mil+ a week month 8 onward. Swapped Styg for Sorrow as my main around month 9 because his skills were already better than mine without artifacts. Bruted my way to victory with a 99I99I99I99 in the end month 12.

Your opinion means very little if you think this map is 1 very easy (the pink faction has 5 devil spawners and spawns next to Armageddon's Blade and plays necromancers) and then 2 give your advice saying "oh ... just capture neutral towns ... clearly this is a way to win" haha WHAT that's literally the most pointless advice you could give. you never beat this map. apologize for lying on the internet, or have your name forever disgraced.
Author: Vendetta (Buc), 19-07-2020 01:55 Original Version - The Devil Is In The Detail How do you actually beat this map in the Hota Version.
Of course , after getting zerged by ping with 3k dragons and 10k liches I abandoned the map.
The Hota version, offers no dimension door in huts only resurect.
And Pink keeps on hoarding and hoarding army.
The fact that he is Armagedon immune makes it even worse.
The heroes are overpowered like hell, and in the Impossible difficulty you just cannot beat it.
Dimension door would be a great boost, but in the Hota version is banned .
I just don't know how you can beat the Hota version to be honest.
Pink or teal just comes to you first month's , and even with crap army at 50/50/45/45 stats, good luck beating him.
I can share the save but it's pretty much pointless.
I have armagedon blade, did the armagedon trick in the castle to get the armour of the damned, and it's still impossible to beat pink

Won it - The Devil Is In The Detail
Nvm , I finally beat it . https://ibb.co/31yq6 hC . It took me 442 days though.
The Hota version is indeed hard because you miss dimension door. Makes it harder to navigate the map.
I think that perhaps in my gameplay I got lucky that pink went in a fight with a good hero lost and I ended up with him in the tavern, which made it a little easier.
I would have beat it without that, the only problem is that if teal or pink come for you in the first month it's practically impossible to defend against a 50/50/50/50 hero. My game play allowed me to get a hero that had 35/35/35/35 because of the stupid fight, which ended up in a win.
The version here with dimmension door is not that hard. The Hota version is indeed impossible unless some luck.
Won it on Impossible / Impossible , 442 days.

Its possible, just keep going at it. You also have to know how to minmax well, my original encounter with the Pink faction was like "wtf" and I'm a very good player - they roll with 50 devils in month 3. but if you learn the map, and learn about azure dragons, grab a diplomacy hero, and try assembling the necromancer artifact...Plus, I don't need to mention rescuing Gelu or Dacon in north and north east parts of the map. If you can beat the other characters to it, that'll spell RIP to anybody. that's my advice, chase the azure dragons from seer huts, fortify in your base to grind the mobs, get town portal early so you can hop between cities. And of course Gelu and Dracon are as powerful as the necromancer artifact.

Author: kogeT (Copenhagen), 01-07-2020 11:17 Update - The Devil Is In The Detail - The Devil Is In The Detail Hi all,
I have updated the map. Some additional cleanup for few parts of the map, quite few changes to quests (especially the troll quest became more interesting now with multple quests). Some changes to AI so they can a bit more effecient, some changes to jail heroes. :-)
if i remember well conflux on starting biomes had more guards before, in my opinion if you update map you shouldnt make it easier especially in such simple way :P changes like troll quest are actually fun tho
Author: Rimtastic (Germany), 28-06-2020 22:12 Like Mike's right - The Devil Is In The Detail You're right of course Mike. My approach was different – the perfect start plus full knowledge of the map is just one way to play it. After completing it the old fashioned way, I just wanted to see how fast it could be done, just as others here have too.
If I'm honest, I had the most fun the first time round, when I had no map knowledge and just took everything as it came. My three-month victory was only doable due to a special set of circumstances.
I also agree that Armageddon's Blade could be replaced with a less op artifact, as perhaps getting town portal was reward enough. Yet AB does add a certain flavour to the map.
Ultimately though Koget, it's the best map I've ever played. Please don't go changing anything too major :)
Author: Mike, 28-06-2020 18:41 it's fine! - The Devil Is In The Detail Koget, not to worry, it's fine as it is. Some people like to reload a million times until they get Aine and Leena or Luna or whoever they need. There's a reason they offer screenshots and words instead of video ;-)
Others prefer to play more conservatively and win without reloading, dealing with the good luck and bad luck they receive as it happens, but trying to only go into battle or new area when the result is certain.
People will enjoy it however they like!
The only thing I would think to consider is removing Armageddon's Blade. It's a moderate boost for pink, but they have massive armies and shackles and don't necessarily need it. On the other hand, for a player, it turns the tide in a massive way and allows a reckless early "rush" to be sustained to the endgame.
Author: Rimtastic (Germany), 28-06-2020 17:58 Like The map is great as it is - The Devil Is In The Detail Hi koget,
Thanks! I wouldn't change a thing about the map – the difficulty is just fine. My time of three months was only doable due to a strong start and very good knowledge of the map. I've played every faction at least once and am very familiar with the quests, various towns, etc. If I'm honest, I didn't expect to complete it in under four :)
My start was of course on impossible difficulty, but I was fortunate to get such a strong one. Solmyr for chain lightning and Aine/Leena (with quick expert estates) for gold. Since gold is to sparse in the starting location, having 2.2k/day at 121 and 5.7k/day at 131 really helped.
I also got a devil from the mercenary camp in week 1, allowing me to clear creature banks + the underground with a secondary army early on.
Finally, all my heroes had logistics, pathfinding, earth, offence and wisdom (usually plus air and water or navigation). I actually didn't use water walk at all, as I had enough admiral's hats to switch between my heroes via town portal. Resurrection relatively early (241) also came in handy.
I'd be happy to post a week-by-week writeup and more screenshots when I have more time. Looking forward to your next map! :D
Author: koget (Denmark), 28-06-2020 12:35 Amazing result - The Devil Is In The Detail Hi Rimtastic,

Difficulty - The Devil Is In The Detail
thanks again for wonderful map. It is definitely far from easy for people who do not know the layout. If you are still looking to improve the map, here are a few suggestions:
- significantly reduce number of lighthouses. Combination of Admiral hat + many lighthouses gives player tremendous advantage since many towns are located near shore
- I frequently find the seer huts giving Endless purse of gold (can be exchanged for Admiral's hat) still available even very late in the game. This quest does not seem to appeal to AI, but gives tremendous advantage. Dunno if it was the intention or you would want do some changes to encourage AI to pick it up
- Pink and Teal represent a challenge, other colours not so much. I personally updated your map for myself by giving these 6 x AI a townportal shrine near home and a powerful hero ( at least ADPK 20,20,10,10) near home town. One then has to strengthen also the garrisons between the players
- Teal frequently leaves tons of armies available to buy in both home and conquered towns. Consider boosting his income and garrisons in the underground.
- as usual amongst the most important spells in the game are Slow and Blind and their lack in the early game can affect speed of your progress greatly. For a bit of fun you can remove their availability in the game and give nicely guarded shrines in each players area or leave it at random as it is.

By the way, not sure if you have the Golden Bow but thats a superior alternative to your combination artifact, because unless you have archery that combination artifact has no effect in terms of archery. Just wasted space.
Sharpshooters bow is a nice option for fat titans to be blocked either block nasty liches themself and keep damaging without counter strike.

I looked it up and you're correct, although Im not sure that justifies extra 2 slots for me. At that point I just restart the battle or wait my creature until somebody else can get rid of the creature on my archer. Though to be perfectly honest I hardly even use archers on this map, the most strongest units you can grind here are usually Mind Elementals and Phoenixes from all the elemental cities.

At first few attempts it seemed unbeatable.
I've just won it for the first time now. My hints: playing with Rampart is the easiest, at first because of Gelu and his sharpshooters, but later the dwarven treasuries will make a difference, because gold you will need.
I've used the Admiral's hat and shackles of war to harass teal and pink heroes around the central island, constantly avoiding Plague and Mutare Drake. At some point I decided that it's actually getting me nowhere, so I went underground and captured the cities there. They weren't really heavily defended but their garrisons after capturing were full of thousands of creatures. This is when the dwarven banks got handy :)
After coming back from underground with hundreds of devils and black dragons and thousands of pit lords and sultans I was the one chasing the teal and pink.
Anyway- great fun and great heroes experience. Kudos to the man who made the map!

great map! - The Devil Is In The Detail
Hi, congrats of making such a great map.
It took long- over 12 months. I took my time before I realized that my guerrilla tactics doesn't really work (admirals hat+ shackles of war+ Kyrre with logistics and navigation) because I was only able to beat minor AI heroes while Mutare Drake and Chaos were walking around with armies stronger than mine.
My plan was that once I defeat all the AI heroes with customized names like Doom, Chaos, Agony... the pink will have weaker heroes later and my army plus my hero with strong stats will be enough.
This wasn't the case so I started checking what's going on in the underground and I said- when I came back with all these dragons, devils and Pit Lords I was the one chasing him.
3 garrisons within the pentagram I could also beat with this army, for the others I had to hire the undeads from those 3 Necropolis towns. Again- they weren't strongly defended there were thousands of creatures available there.
I think I'm gonna have to try playing it with someone else than Rampart :)

By the way- I have a tip which may be useful for those who struggle with garrisons within the pentagram- the magic ones.
All magic is blocked there so you can't even cast slow BUT by this point you should probably have the Armor of the Damned- the spells from this armor (slow included!!!) will be casted.
Is this a bug?

Because when you are stuck you think it's impossible and then when you see there is a solution for everything and manage to get through and finish something you thought to be hard it's a good feeling.

Lack of knowledge (how to get spells and such) and one fight that I should not have picked, meant it took me an eternity to beat. Oh, and an asshole AI took my admirals hat, so I had to find another one, did not expect that :))
If you have a lot of spare time sometimes, a less 'symmetric' ; version would be really fun too. Like a more random looking map.
Anyways, thanks again :D
You are so inequitable for AI, they are so naive and cute))
Teal, for example, provides you with some usefull artifacts,
and Red... is so sweat...
once he hadnt hire archers at all till my Gelu arrived, Gelu was pleased to train about a thousand of sharpshooters
other brilliant idea was to send Sylvia to the nearest island with all troops but without summon boat spell xD,
that was a really cruel, but so pleasantly to sink her ship and visit unprotected towns =)

Map - The Devil Is In The Detail
Thanks for the feedback and good job on beating the map Mch. This map took me a year to make the 1st version, I cannot even think how long it would take to create and balance if it was more random. ;-) I am working on a "more random one" though, but expect another 1-2 years to complete.

Author: didDone (Emerald Moor, NorthEast), 19-04-2020 15:04 Like upd: - The Devil Is In The Detail honestly trying to refresh that combats in memory: i think i used
2 aditional stacks about 500 ice elementals & near 500 storm elementals at the east
(to protect sharpshooters and inflicting some damage)
and 2 separated angels to kite remainig knights & vampires at the west
elementals heroically died, but angels survived))
Author: didDone (Emerald Moor, NorthEast), 19-04-2020 08:47 Like that was painfull - The Devil Is In The Detail right you are!
that nasty guards were hard...
surely i hadnt captured that ;)
but i can tell you tactics in general for that:
aotd & 1k sharpshooters
+
mephala & block-liches-sacrifi ces(azures+phoenixes for east, archdevils+black dragons for west)
after that all u need to do just to shoot + run form sceletons/zombies/mu mmies and so on.... just like you do at graveyard)))
ghost-dragons are the problem, but usualy they fall while trying to unblock liches(thats why mephala is necessary: while sacrifices are alive sharpshooters can shoot ;))
Author: Conqueror, 18-04-2020 13:37 lol - The Devil Is In The Detail You guys beating the game in month 4 or 5 need to post some videos, lol. I'm curious how you beat things like the anti-magic garrison with 1000's of liches and everything.

Hi, check this video for inspiration. It is an old version but highlights what is possible if you know what you are doing. :)
