HotA with VCMI outdated - The Mysterious Island - Heroes 3 map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

566 years
I like this campaign but I find the 4th map with Vaniel much too difficult since this one could not develop his skills and does not have an army big enough to face his enemies who are too powerful in comparison from him ; He also has few spells and can not learn some quickly. The imbalance is too important which makes the part uninteresting.


Author: Koni (Germany), 11-11-2010 19:48
Just finished
Just finished!!! (on easy level)
When I rode back with the tear, I got a message (nearly on the spot where the green bordergate stood), that I had to meet with Dalom. Dalom arrives from the underworld through the gate in the NW corner, jumps over the teal border and waits there for Vaniel. So you don't need a teal key!!!
I didn't eliminate purple!!! I avoided to fight his last hero, who was to strong for me (didn't reach the tear in time, so I didn't get the last reinforcements). He conquered the town in the middle and stayed there. So I had time, to get the green key in the last town and to fetch the tear.

To author ogo: Now I plan to translate the texts for a German version. Only a little bug in the first mission, 'cause the assassin in the thieves den didn't give the reward after I fulfilled his task. The den was empty!!


Author: Igoriok (UK), 21-09-2010 00:39
totally fucked up campain
stuck as most of people on fourth mission - where the hell bring that bloody tear of Asha(how to pass border without key?)?


Author: Dan (Germany), 30-06-2010 22:34
Liked it very much!
If your other maps are just as good, then please translate them as well dear Ogo.

Played this campaign on heroic and was realy challenging :)

I think i played that damn first map about 10 times till i got the right combination of skills to beat the first dark elf on map 4 :P

Sap Magic, Protection and imbued Ballista worked for me there.

Might also be interesting to try get dark magic and arcane intuition quickly and then learn puppet master from the count on map 1.

Only flaw i encountered is on map 4 if you eliminate the purple player then the dark elf hero from maps 2 and 3 will vanish as well. I already triggered him to appear on the surface by finding the tear of asha 2 days before finally receiving the "purple player eliminated" message and could complete the map by walking to the spot where he was supposed to stand. Just wonder what might happen if you are extremely fast and eleminate purple more than a week before you find the tear.

How do you beat the enemy in scenario 4?
I tried to fight him with Magic Immunity but it doesn't affect his spells! He can still hit with FULL FORCE in spite of Magic Immunity being on my forces! What is going on here? Is there something that you are meant to do in earlier campaigns?

Tear recovered, now what?
Ogo, you've created an enjoyable campaign, but now I'm stuck. I've recovered the Tear of Asha in the 4th mission and received credit for completing the objective. No new objectives have been given me.

I thought I might need to exit the map in the northwest corner, but there is no way to reach it. The Teal Keymaster is "gone," and Instant Travel doesn't work in that area. What must I do to continue?

2nd Mission
when i arrive to the underground passage there are a lot of Demons guarding it. I can't turn back because Vaniel is at my back ....

I get a message that the Demons don't RETREAT and then they attack: it is IMPOSSIBLE to defeat them (i play at normal diff).

I guess they MUST Retreat but there is no quest to trigger that event!

Or am i doing something wrong?


Author: Kabuki_san (Poland), 20-02-2009 16:10
somebody know?:)
and what is that blue tent for?:),if there is nobody. I also found tear of asha,,but what to do next?:) may someone know?:) where is author of this very nice campaign.I really enjoy,but cannot go further:)

Hi Guys

is done!!
You can beat the warlock at the 4th mission but only at easy and with magical imunity.you have to cast this spell every time is the hero turn so the damn warlock do little damage with his spells.first you will hit with paladins the dark riders because youl have luck and smash them all.this is an easy one unlike the nesxt big fights you will confront:>

warlock mission 4
There is now way you can beat the warlock in de 4th mission. I think they made a mistake making the warlock to strong. I think the only way is to use some cheats or something...

4th scenario... I
First of all. Thank you Ogo. Without people like you, us HoMM nerds would be going crazy waiting for new Heroes releases. Keep up the good work... It's appreciated by many be sure.

I have played through to the 4th scenario, and I have enjoyed the campaign a lot. I played "Heroic" lvl up untill the 4th where I see no other possibilities other than to engage the "Warlock" hero at the teleporter. It is simply a fight I cannot win! have tried over 20 times at all the diferent settings (Even easy!!) Am I missing something? Could you please help me?

chtob bylo poniatno
чтоб было понятно: во 2-ои миссии у героя нет задач, тупо бегаешь и убиваеш всех...реально доити до замка и разбить охрану в гарнизоне , которыи там рядом...у и все.
в миссии нет скриптов, по сравненнию с первои миссиеи.иа не знаю нужна ли тут оригинальная версуя ХОММ5 или пиратская, но я пробовал уже 3 раза, и ничего:(
