HotA with VCMI outdated - The Mysterious Island - Heroes 3 map

Hi!

Thanks a lot for trying to play the map — I’m really sorry it’s not working.

From what I understand, there’s a big gap between the version of HotA emulated through VCMI and the “real” official HotA.

To work properly, the map requires Horn of the Abyss version 1.7.2 or 1.7.3.

As far a

Hey.

Monster morale is part of the challenge to get Corkes and Mullich free.

If I remember correctly you can defeat the Titans with 7 Nix warriors or more. Possibly even 6.

I hope you enjoy the map, it’s very difficult. I slightly reduced the difficulty in my editor but I haven’t uploade

My project started in... 1998 - The Mysterious Island - Heroes 3 map

A bit of history behind my map...

As a kid, I was fascinated by Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island.

When I discovered Heroes II back in 1998, I immediately dreamed of turning that island into a playable map. I even drew a rough sketch at the time — but with the limitations of the XL map size,

Stolen candy from a baby - The Sin of the Father - Heroes 3 map

100% agree with the point "It's always a pleasure to find a big map".

But it is definitely not "Difficulty : Impossible" - easy-peasy - every spell, including DD/Fly/WW/TP/Berserk are allowed, as well as all possible artifacts.

It is kind of "HMM3 slasher" -

The Mysterious Island isn’t just a Heroes III map — it’s a real adventure. A carefully crafted piece of design that feels more like a custom campaign than a standalone scenario.

Heroes 5 walkthrough | Campaign 3 - Necropolis | Mission 3 - The Invasion

Other walkthrough

tips for those who asked about mission 3:

i started by upgrading what i could on the necro town,
i didnt upgrade creatures on haven town, only money stuff.
after i built liches wights (and wraight, wights) and vampires,
i got out, built a boat on the LEFT side of the island, and went north
west. when you get to the beach you have several mines and creatures
that you can take. if you see necro creatures on the map, always attack them, they'll join you. i went north, found the inferno area. i killed
archdevils and pit fiends for the artifacts. went up and took the town.
it was easy, no serious guards there. i took the boat east, when i got to the shore i saw another town. it was too hard for me, so i went east more to the eastern town (ziyad). i took it. at that point it offered me to curse the town. i cursed it, went back to the westren town and cursed it too. the point was that cursing not only means more army for me, it means the cpu won't be able to get more of his vicious army.
after that the green elves started roaming around. they took my haven city. before they came i took isabel to necro city, and protected her with creatures there. the elves didnt follow.
i wandered in the map, gathered creatures, exp and artifacts,
and got back to original necro town to get more army.
i took army and kicked the ass of the green elves for good.
by that time i had like 2k archers, around 100 arliches, 115 vamp lords, 19 bone dragons, 100 spectres.
i went north to take the last town. by that time the CPU took ziyad back, but i didnt mind, since its necro now, he won't enjoy the army there. i took the middle town, and my army got to like 3k archers.
i didnt use any raise undead/animate dead or stuff like that. i powered up my hero with destructive spells, and i mostly do chain lightning. when i took last city i used few phantom forces on archers.
went north, took the garrisons, took the last town.
it said i cleared all objectives but raising 20 bone dragons, but that was easy, 3 of his academy cities became necro coz of the curses. so i built 20 bone dragons easily and went to the portal, and thats it.
i gathered in the final fight something like 5k archers, so it went ok.
