Wonderfully new HoMM3 map, full of amazing ideas. If you can't read Chinese, then you must be the strongest player or you can't finish it. Already carefully and completely tested.

some battles involve to many turns or many reloads,but with patience the map is a puzzle to find the ways and battles involved.
I finished map in 30 months,can be done faster but this mean reloading from older saves.Important facts for this maps are :try to capture fast the castles with marksmen because they are main units to winning battles and they number determine the zero loses in many fights,use sacrifice on imps or peasants to resurrect marksmen,dont lose the efreet.Thanks for the map.
Author: zec (Romania), 29-01-2018 21:28 Like red hero in the castle - Ira the Mage I have 1 efreet,295 marksmen,694 halberdiers,209 cerbers and 89 imps.

I dont remember exactly, but at this point you should have a lot of archers, and an efreet sultan I guess.
And I think you're gonna need some speed artifacts too. Or bring some pikeman for dragon food.
Teleport your archers to hex 109, move your efreet to hex 110, cast bless, prayer, precision, and frenzy on the archers, and win.

You should have at least town portal at this point. One of the previous wich hut has an event in front of it, which gives you town portal.

First get basic wisdom from the wich hut left to the allied conflux town. Next you'll get advanced wisdom from a wandering scholar (If you don't visit the wich hut, the scholar will give you only basic wisdom).
Now you can learn town portal from an event, see attached picture.

Author: kazmer (Hungary), 29-11-2017 01:43 instructions - Ira the Mage Since the original instrucions are buried on page 341 in this thread, I'm gonna repost it.
Choose 200% difficulty.
Set the caste alignments as follows:
Red - Dungeon
Green - Necropolis
Orange - Castle
Purple - Inferno
Cyan - Tower
(You can also use the map editor to set these alignments permanently.)
Somehow this alignment prevents the "Month of creature", which is very important in the early game, so you don't find wraiths in your way when you only have a harpy hag in your army.
Alternatively, you can use the SOD_SP plugin, which has an option to disable the "Month of creature", or even the "Month of plague".
Author: Mira (USA/Bulgaria), 27-11-2017 18:21 Stuck at the red dragon - Ira the Mage Hi,
After 6 years I am replaying this game. This time I am stuck on battle one harpy vs a Red Dragon. I guess there should be something on the terrain that I can use, but I am playing HMM Compelte version and there is nothing on the terrain I can use. Could this be the problem, or I am missing something?

obstacles - Ira the Mage
The battlefield with the harpy hag and red dragon should look like the picture attached. You should move the harpy to position 59 or 60, so the dragon can't reach it. Then you can press auto combat, and go get a coffe, or something ;)
HD+ mod replaces the battlefield obstacle placement algorythm. It would be nice if it had a setting for this behavior, but there is a fix. It's called SOD_SP plugin, which fixes this issue, and adds many more features to the game. So you can have replayable quick combats with the original obstacles. (This plugin is created by RoseKavalier)

Also, if someone want's to create a map with some special battlefields, I wrote a tool for searching for a specific obstacle arrangement.

Author: Valdemar (Kyiv, Ukraine), 03-05-2017 02:53 Like Great Map - Ira the Mage Great map! Finished at 27-4-6, but it's possible to save a lot of time.
Few general recommendations for new players:
1) the first 5-7 months you can overcome without any promts,
2) the last 3-4 months (IMHO) cann't be passed without map editor. For serious problem go to the editor
3) do not waste move points "left-right-lef t-back", make a plan of movement accurately. The idea of the map is that you should pass the map ASAP (to capture the castles early, to collect large troops for the battles),
4) the hardest battles - in anti-magical garrisons. Try to get morale and luck where it is possible before battles. Double hit of archers / dogs / devils can save you from great losses.
5) IMPORTANT (I recommend author to include it in the preview). Places of battles in the classic Heroes 3 and HD + mod are different! Many players use HD+ for battles, but for some battles you should use ONLY classic game (so if you need just make reload and choose better place).
6) if you waste a time, it will be difficult to hire many troops, they will end! Try to hire peasants near one of the castles (they are well used as "mandatory" ; losses instead of archers and they are free of charge), and hire in the external dwellings of the devils (if there are not enough troops).
Good luck for all players!
And one more time thanks a lot for author!

Note here that the misconception that has been stepped on K +1, K +1 there is an event 1:00 K. here plus 2 K. Some students step event plus 1:00 K, on the back are gone, and the results may be followed by K is not enough (if the upgrade was not any plus K)..but this doesn't make sense to me.
Its a clever map although its always frustrating when a map requires that you have done something screens ago that was not intuitive.
