A warlock has sent you to the land of Doppelganger where mirror images of heroes have been sent. There you must defeat them to restore balance between the two worlds.
Designed particularly for unlimited leveling of a random hero. Neutral creatures get increasingly tougher as you progress.

Author: Alexander (Good old Germany), 07-06-2016 15:38 Still crashes occur - Doppelganger I disabled autosave and saved the game manually. After loading the manually saved game the map crashed due to the save files was corrupted,
Do you have any clue how to avoid corrupted manually game saves?
Author: Graxstar (USA), 07-06-2016 05:31 Autosave disabled - Doppelganger After I disabled the autosave feature and deleted all my autosaved games, I have been able to save all my games to the cloud again. And, so far, no crashes.
Author: Sanadi (Greece), 06-06-2016 22:27 Like Kudos to your creativity - Doppelganger This map is a wonderful show and example of 99 level reach. No real challenge after a couple of weeks. Just the curiosity to end the final quest.
Once a again i praise your mapmaking creativity.

Thank you - Doppelganger
Thank you for the kind words. Which hero did you use to complete it?

Which hero... - Doppelganger
I was "Minasli" from the Academy faction and the main strenghts were the diplomacy skills witch allowed me to enlist great numbers of Mages and Cabirs. After that i casted only 2 spells on my armies at the start of combat, Time control and Storm arrows, and every battle was finished before it even started.
Author: Alexander (Good old Germany), 05-06-2016 23:10 Thank you - Doppelganger for your kind answer.
Author: Graxstar (USA), 05-06-2016 05:52 Game Crashes - Doppelganger I have discovered that it is a known game glitch that if you try to restore a save game from one of the autosaves, particularly after a game crashes, then it is a higher possibility that you will corrupt all your save games for that map. Best thing is to save your game often using your own names to reduce the risk. Some players have disabled autosave altogether because of this glitch. I am presently doing another play-through of the game to see if I can detect anything else. May take a awhile though because I have some other things to deal with in RL at the moment.
Author: Alexander (Good old Germany), 31-05-2016 17:51 Game crashes on normal level too - Doppelganger I tried to play again but game crashes after going to the underground.
Author: Dan (UK), 30-05-2016 21:39 No crash for me - Doppelganger I played the whole game no crushes what so ever.. but i played hard mode, i don't know if it makes any different.
Author: Graxstar (USA), 30-05-2016 19:02 Game Crashes - Doppelganger I wish I knew why the game crashes. It is something beyond my control.
Author: Nalrin (Prague, CZ), 30-05-2016 13:15 Shantiri Ruins rule! - Doppelganger This is a realy good and balanced map with a lot of quests and places to visit (also great editor work, so many details!). Your heroes will love walking around this one. Played hot seat with my friend. We only did a mistake turning off two players, do not do that. :-)
Author: Alexander (Good old Germany), 30-05-2016 01:27 Game crashes - corrupted savegames - Doppelganger I tried twice to play this game on heroic. After a few weeks the game crashes and all save files are corrupted.
Please advise.

Corrupted game files - Doppelganger
Unfortunately, there is nothing that I know of to prevent the game crashes. This is a known problem that the developers of HMM7 need to remedy. I recently updated the Doppelganger map to revert to no lighting hoping that might help. That's the one I am testing now. The constant crashing is why I am going to give mapmaking a break, at least for a while, hoping that with the update now rescheduled for August, the developers will provide these much needed fixes.

Still crashes - Doppelganger
I tried to play again your wonderful map. The game still crashes after reaching the underground and all saved games are corrupted. No chance to continue.
I hope this will change after publishing the new patch.

Mr. - Doppelganger
Dear Graxstar,
as I have become a HOMM7 fan recently and have experienced crash bugs on loading; might I ask if you have any clues on what is the main driver of these crashes (number of creatures on the map perhaps?)?
Truly yours, Honza

Author: Dan (UK), 27-05-2016 04:16 Hero - Doppelganger nice! well known that necromancer got a huge advantage on others because of this necromancy skill, i will try it out next time.
but think about it, the shroud of malassa grandmaster skill "coordination&q uot; gives you a second free attack..this is an incredible force combined with density skill "perfect strike" that they cannot retaliate, not to mention the Minotaur Guard that the enemy cannot retaliate at all, which is amazing! i manage to win many fights with this tactics when i had a minimum troops.
basically i find the dark side like "dungeon" "Necropolis&quo t; and "Stronghold&quo t; far better then the light side "Haven" etc..
Author: Graxstar (USA), 26-05-2016 23:18 Hero - Doppelganger Just curious. I made it so players could choose their faction and, hopefully, their hero as well. I played it using Lyla, a necromancer. Skeleton Hoplites and Banshees keep increasing with the Necromancer skill, I could transport them using a Prime spell which allowed me to echo the spell (cast another spell in the same turn) with Shadow Cloak. The first two attacks against them would miss but the skeleton hoplites would do damage to them anyway because of a Necro ability an, if they survived that, the skeleton would retaliate. It was a pretty sweet setup.
Author: Dan (UK), 26-05-2016 05:53 Map - Doppelganger my favorite fraction is dungeon with hero Sinitar.. especially in challenging maps i like the prime magic combined with shroud of malassa skill which exclusively belongs to dungeon heroes.
any other fraction in mind?
thanks again!
Author: Graxstar (USA), 26-05-2016 05:37 Thank you - Doppelganger Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. What hero did you use?
Author: Dan (UK), 25-05-2016 22:53 just finished! - Doppelganger very challenging map, thank god for prime magic,,without it it would not be possible.:)
going soon for your recent fast pace map!
your work it's much appreciated!
Author: Graxstar (USA), 25-05-2016 02:48 Implosion Spell - Doppelganger Yes, I have researched Prime spells in the first few castles and implosion has been one of the options.
Author: Dan (UK), 25-05-2016 01:17 implosion spell - Doppelganger thanks for your answer.
is there only scrolls? can i find implosion spell in the castles?
btw the AI's are very strong as you progress, great job mate!
Author: Graxstar (USA), 23-05-2016 16:00 Implosion Spells - Doppelganger Implosion spells are still active and there are many implosion spell scrolls lying around. Thanks for the encouragement. I have played the games only in normal mode so I am not sure how adjustments are made in-game for hard and heroic modes.
Author: Dan (UK), 23-05-2016 14:52 promising. - Doppelganger started on heroic dungeon with Sinitar the enemy heroes were no problem with summon element but the neutral were nearly impossible especially the ones guarding the mines..
is implosion disabled??
i will start hard mode soon, but the map looks fantastic!
thank you very much for the challenging maps that you made recently!

Hero - Doppelganger
I have thought about it, actually. And made a game specifically for Dungeon heroes only in Big Boss Bongo. There have been a number of requests for being able to use other factions. Just wondered what people were choosing.

i also would like to try with other faction, but dungeon or necro were the best choice for me with Big boss bongo.
there is a wonderful map called "Necropolis&quo t;, i have played with the most factions, and with dungeon i had the most success, (necro was excluded).

Academy is an option - Doppelganger
Using Johari as master of storm, prime mabic and war maschines or Minasli for ultimate prime magic and master of magic brings pretty much fun. Johari allows starting on heroic level due to fast skilling war maschines and the resulting healing and artillery support. Air magic on highest level makes war maschines very efficient.
And yes, Lyra is alxo one of my favourites. But since Ubi limited the necromancers ability to awake hobbits and ghosts, necromancers are not the most efficient race anymore

Thanks for the tip - Doppelganger
I don't really like the Academy troops but academy heroes are superior in magic, especially with the skill "Metamagic" ;
when you mention above that you play heroic you meant the enemy heroes, or the option about neutral creatures and start resources?

heroic playing - Doppelganger
I tried to play doppelganger the enemy heroes and the option about neutral creatures and start resources on heroic level but this was impossible.
Most other maps this option works. War maschine heroes especially Johari who is equipped with a small pyramid at the beginning is very efficient when starting a map. This allows to level up very quickly using only very few troops in single stacks.
Author: MIB (Gomel), 22-05-2016 22:02 Like Map - Doppelganger Map interesting. But there is a strange thing. Built Black market, but there are no artifacts. Do not they appeared after the reboot repeatedly. Disable your card, or it is another gift from the limbic dropouts?
Карта интересная . Но есть странность . Построил Black market, но там нету артефактов . Не появились они и после перезагруз ки неоднократ ной. Отключено в вашей карте, или это очередной подарок от лимбически х недоучек?

Lack of Artifacts - Doppelganger
There are no artifacts in the game other than the ones you can find by defeating heroes. This is the way the map was planned to be. You will be able to sell items at the Black Market later but there will be no artifacts there for you to buy. It is part of the secondary quests in the scenario to find the artifacts.
Там нет никаких артефактов в игре, кроме тех, которые вы можете найти, победив героев. Это путь карты было запланиров ано. Вы сможете продавать товары на черном рынке позже, но там не будет никаких артефактов там для вас, чтобы купить. Она является частью второстепе нных заданий в сценарии, чтобы найти артефакты.

hmm - Doppelganger
I've also found out, that some artifacts bought from the Black Market, dont work right away. For example sometimes its supposed to give you +6 Magic, but applying it does not work, also unapplying it and applying it again etc etc does not work, the number only changes after you've restarted a game (also the spells damage from the increased +6 Magic changes after restart). So, unfortunately just many bugs with the black market.

Error - Doppelganger
not only bought on the black market, but also found in the territory do not always work correctly. For example, chain lightning strikes only the first target! But it is treated just click "Start the battle again," and that's all right!
Graxstar (USA) writes:

Error - Doppelganger
Yes, I noticed that too. Sometimes the implosion spell only destroys 5% instead of the higher percentage it's supposed to. Also, I noticed that restarting the battle often reduces your magic by half. And, if you try to load a previous game during a battle sequence, it will sometimes crash and corrupt the savegame files. All things beyond my control, unfortunately.
