Author: Krypto, 01-09-2023 07:31 50/50 split - A Wizards Tale First half of the map was probably my favorite map ever. Quality over quantity. Everything seemed so well planned out and meant to be. Loved the gatekeepers and infiltrating the different zones.
Second half was quantity over quality. Underground was boring. Started getting super sloppy and tedious. Wayyyyy too many towns, artifacts, and resources. So many duplicate artifacts. Most maps fall to these problems though. Wish I didn't trade the Deadman's shoes at the start (thought magic was going to be the focal point, not necro) huge mistake as the map gives about 10 amulets and cowls but only 2 sets of Shoes.
All in the all the first half was blissful to it makes up for the latter half.
Author: Garri, 29-03-2023 00:20 Like Great map - A Wizards Tale This map deserves an Oscar. I have never seen a more difficult and interesting game. Thanks to the author! I got huge pleasure.
Author: Vilem (Czechia), 29-10-2022 09:22 Nice 8/10 - A Wizards Tale Fun map, Gives a challenge. Very hard on 1st playthrough. Much easier on 2nd.
Some feedback and thoughts:
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
1. I really do not understand why the backdoor white portal exists. You can just block the shore with one hero making it a trap for AI.
2. Starting hero gets useless in combat later. Anyone on his 1st playthrough will probably make the mistake of using stat boost boxes on 1st wrong hero.
3. Enemy setup - while it is good that you can not berserk/blind all the time it would be really great if not all main late enemies had counter-artifacts. Maybe give them ring of oblivion or other nasty things instead?
4. Artifact power progression is well done, but Any collection is almost useless once you reach main sea area and further.
5. Shazam builds skyship later in game. It sucks watching AI making long moves.
6. Not sure if intended but for Rampart/Tower/Castle/Fortress assault I just took weak enemies and towns first. Then cheesed main enemy.
Main enemy hero tends to not fight your main hero, not sure why.
So you can just keep taking anything he tries to get back with multiple heroes and town portals. You can build army from his towns and then erase him.
That is a time-consuming chore and I would like to be able to defeat main enemy without big losses before doing this.
7. There is a tavern in first inferno town. Not sure if intended.
8. Gelu+Titans+sharpshooters+bow+support units. Did anyone use anything else for main hero?

Author: wasilix, 27-06-2021 09:04 Cathirine without resurrect? - A Wizards Tale Hi there!
Started this map and so far it has been going alright. I haven't been taking losses up to that point, but Catherine with her meteor shower, big army and high morale just seems extremely unlikely to pull of a lossless victory against. Is there resurrect somewhere available before her, that I missed or is she supposed to be taken on with losses? My best attempt so far was: -3A, -3MG, -12T.
Thanks!

Still curious - A Wizards Tale
Managed to reduce titan losses to just 2 with all stars aligned the best way. Still curious about my original question.

Orrin - A Wizards Tale
Also looking for a tip dealing with Castle heroes. It's 234, they all passed armies to Orrin resulting in whooping 98 AAs. He has +2 speed in artifacts and Tactics and I have no speed bonuses. It results in him casting Frenzy and killing my titans in one hit. Without ability to resurrect or to use tactics (even if I had it lol) to shield my valuable units from his 1st strike I don't see any way to fight him head on...
Author: Rob K (Australia), 21-05-2021 11:04 wtf - A Wizards Tale How the hell are you supposed to progress past the garrison before the first gate (only day 6) when there are 2000+ Naga Queens to beat and all you have are a few archangels and titans and no way to get more troops? Why are there so many enemies that early to beat?
W.T.F.??

Author: Nicola Acoust (Argentina), 18-11-2020 06:37 Like 10/10 - Nice Map - A Wizards Tale Epic and enjoyable map. I played it just once, on hard, and very slowly sinec I'm not quite skilled, but anyway I did have to do some AI manipulation flaging dwelling of OP enemies while I grinded my own army or purposely opening certain borders in order to let AI leave their castles (I even made Shorsha grab a boat and make it to other continents).
It was pretty exciting and fun.
Author: Joseph, 12-09-2020 15:49 10/10 - A Wizards Tale Mighty impressed by how well arranged this map was, just got overwhelmed when opened Dracon. You should have let the archmages join the party instead of being hostile. Also, I put the player difficulty on expert which was a huge mistake. Whoever plays this map do it on easy!

Glad you enjoyed it - A Wizards Tale
The map is pretty difficult i did do it on expert myself but it was a challenge for sure.

Author: raducu (Brasov), 25-12-2015 00:14 A wizard tale-Bravo! - A Wizards Tale I finished it, never got so far before, all skills to 99, level 63, 6k titans, 20k archmages, 10k sharpshooters,3k ancient behemots, etc. The freeze bug did not occurt this time, it's true I played on easy, since at expert was impossible for me. Even easy was very hard. At the end was easy, after you conquer the surface of the map, the undergound will be a piece of cake. Congratulations for the map!

Author: raducu (Brasov), 23-12-2015 13:03 Straker it's an idiot, freezes the game - A Wizards Tale Game freeze on moth 6 week 3 day 2 , because of the blue player straker.He just sits, and do nothing. A very good map, 10 , but because of the bugs 4, my rating is 7. I cannot complete the map, and I have spent some time, it's frustrating. Too bad, one of the best map I have played, if you resolve somehow the bug, I will give 10. All the best!

Those bugs are possible to track only in era II+sod mod. If Maygwan plays the game and sends me saves from that week bug, I can find what's wrong then tell how to fix the map.

That would be great! I hope that someday we can play this map without bugs, the map has potential.
Author: Maygwan, 10-07-2015 07:28 Like my other maps - A Wizards Tale If you enjoyed this check out my hell vs heaven map its fun to play and a challenge. I also have a barbarians story and gelu the necromancer just released.
If you want imposssible maps try version 2 of undead apoc and fantasy conquest.

I finished it
Yes I was stuck too in 644 because I explored to much from map. You have to beat the barbarian quickly (it's not so hard with Dracon: Crag Hack still stand in one castle 'cause hi's afraid and you may block Behemonts inside garisson and clone the titans). Or you can cheat with a long long last day and kill'em all from undereground (wich they are boring anyway). Finally my note is 9 (I'm not so skilled like others)

When i get time i will look at the bug that folk are saying is in the map. I played it and finished it but i did it fast so never saw the bug but i have been sorting out some of my maps and revamping them so i will look into this now i have more time.
Author: Wicker, 16-03-2013 01:00 Finished Nice map, but however suffers same fate as many maps before. The beginning is nice and hard (Castle and Rampart heroes) but then it gets way too easy and the end is boring as hell.
Author: Erlandeca (Sofia, Bulgaria), 12-01-2013 15:24 Play Fast! If you play too slow, then there's a bug. I finished it before 6th. month and everything was perfect. My advice to those, which have problems - just play more easier maps before this, than play it as fast as you can and it will be OK. Use all heroes you've unlocked!

Wtf, 6 moths?
Whats the catch?
Crazy map...how the hell should I beat Sorsha, she got 1k Titans, 2k Nagas..No matter how I use my spells(slow first, berserk first, etc,etc), its just too much for my army.
After I killed Astral, I got left only 150 titans and took army for castle(i`m with tower) to try and fight.
Author: Snake Madman (The Netherlands), 18-07-2012 00:11 BUG!!! Mine got stuck halfway through month 5 during Orange's turn. I loaded an older save and played again and it got stuck again with Orange a couple of days after it did the first time.
It's really a pity because I enjoyed it a lot, it's a very nice map, but alas unplayable.
Author: shinoshuke (VIetnam), 30-05-2012 21:34 BUG It's boring map!!! and Many problems here, the orange has the lightblue keymaster tent, and he got the Dracon! The game is impossible because of many bugs.!!!!

Author: Elin Yordanov (Germany), 02-02-2012 19:33 game freeze Same problem. at month 3 or 4, week 3, day 7. The blue player won't end its term and freeze the screen. The game sucked! I also had saves from 1 week ago, but even I end the term without doing anything, it would suck at the same day :(
Author: derp (Jebane, Ethiopia), 31-01-2012 14:10 . I have same problem, but with green player and it happens in 9 month 1 week and 3 day. Anyone solved that problemn?
Author: MiiSan (B, Ro), 02-01-2012 22:28 PS PS: Turning off the sight of the other players' turn won't help either~
Author: MiiSan (B, Ro), 02-01-2012 21:05 game stuck too I also got the same problem; at month 7, week 4, day 7 at the blue turn it freezes :-/
It would be a shame if I can't continue this map, it's one of the best maps I play on Heroes.
Author: Lopa (BV, Ro), 29-12-2011 23:10 game stuck also i have the same problem. The blue player can't end it's turn. can't say how irritating this can be after you spent some hours on the map.
