Eight Clans heard about Miracle Towns hidden inside the earth. Exactly eight, one for each of them. The clans have chosen different tactics and landmarks, now let's try to find this secret place and kill each other on the way! Dimension Doors are not allowed.
Author: Bucataru, 05-03-2025 10:31 Buggy - Prismatic Greed Just started this as green. Found 2 shipyards where it builds the boats in a way that can't be boarded (59x93 underground and 121x105 above). Also a mineral spring with the TP gate icon at 60x98 underground. Didn't find summon boat yet, spell research is not active, so I've got a stuck main hero.

True - Prismatic Greed
Yes. There is also another waterway path blocked by stones and it cannot be crossed, i can't see a portal on the other side either. Underground too.

Author: R, 25-09-2020 10:18 Misplaced prison - Prismatic Greed There's a prison guarded by Azure dragons on water, in the lower left quadrant (forgot the exact tiles), but you can actually access it without defeating the Azures. So that's probably a mistake.

Thank you - Prismatic Greed
Thank you for telling me. I must've missed it somehow.
I'll fix it with Factory release and also other bugs if you've found any.

crater at 50,21 in underground - Prismatic Greed
this crater makes an impassable problem. Really, no1 found this yet? It's like right by purple starting area. I like decorations but people really tend to overdo them. Map looks neat so far but I'm considering scrapping playing it a couple months in. Thanks for the effort.

Author: Roboto (United States), 26-05-2020 19:36 Not a bug but dumb AI - Prismatic Greed Also at ground level at 150,176 the Fountain of Youth prevents the AI from being smart enough to pick up the Boots of Levitation. Was wondering why such a useful artifact was just sitting around.

Thanks for the feedback - Prismatic Greed
Thank you for the input!
I'll try to fix the issue on the next update of the map.
The artifact might be a leftover from the testing, for playing the map yourself please remove it for now and I'll fix it for the next release
Author: Roboto (United States), 26-05-2020 19:30 Bug Report - Prismatic Greed No rating yet since playthrough in progress but there's a bug underground at 21,50. The crater there prevents any players from reaching the artifacts/resources below.

you beat me to it - Prismatic Greed
same issue here. I really need to learn to read comments on these well played maps and just edit stuff before I start the map. It's kind of a spoiler for some though. Thanks for pointing it out.
Author: K (Waterloo, Canada), 27-03-2020 01:44 Excellent map! - Prismatic Greed This map is pretty, and has a lot of fun details and flavour. Each section has its own identity and purpose. I am glad to see Popcioslav is still working on it too. Some suggestions:
A few quest rewards seem out of whack for how much work they are. Like if you bring a Ring of the Wayfarer to the seer on 7 Heaven island you just get 2000 XP. I'd rather just keep the ring! I don't know if you can control/modify these quest rewards but I would bring that one up to something like 4 levels instead.
Maybe add more clues for each player regarding how to get to the underground town that matches their starting town. The game started off with hints that your 'scouts' were going to look more and then they just stopped after a day or two. I played as Tower and Frostglow City was one of the last places I found. I went through the Red Labyrinth thinking it was something I should do as the Red player but there wasn't even a town in there.
Overall awesome map though, I will play it again for sure and I highly recommend it.
Author: Popcioslav (Cracow, Poland), 17-01-2020 17:24 Updated for hota 1.7.0. ! - Prismatic Greed Thank you to anyone posting feedback or bugs. Map should be fine again. Fixed diplomacy and I did all I could to battle the 2nd month crash.
I've also updated the map with all new terrain and other bits so the preview map is not 100% accurate right now, but please enjoy!
Appearently 1.7. made hota crash more often on water maps.
Before Factory town's release I'm gonna try my best to make the map less filled with water, but I can't just rework entire map in a day. Sorry if the crashes caused an inconvienience for you while playing and remember to save often!

Author: Dima from Voronezh (Россия), 27-11-2019 15:29 Like good map, not awesome - Prismatic Greed easy map, stupid AI.
I spend a lot of time, kill most strong hero and after that game becomes hunting for many simple heroes scattered on this big map. Thats why i stop playing on this map.
also this map has many unreasoned border passages who works not as it was intended.

Thanks for the feedback
Author: Max (CT, USA), 24-06-2019 18:36 Fantastic Map! - Prismatic Greed Each start is balanced but not mirrored, allowing for a lot of Replayability with different starts. Reccomend to anyone who likes big maps and long games :)
Author: Natasha (Kirov, Russia), 15-05-2019 19:13 Interesting map - Prismatic Greed Finished on Impossible level in 8 months 4 weeks 4 days. A lot of details, however AI could be stronger and more insidious :)

Author: Lucas (Warsaw), 14-04-2018 16:46 Critical ERRORS - Prismatic Greed Map looks great I wish to play this but I cant. During play when I will find any of new artefact from HOTA, game crash. Problem is with all new artefacts. Can any one tell me what is wrong, How can I fix this problem?
Yes the map was made on the previous version of Hota, I recommend checking the map on the map editor and saving it again. It should work after that.
If it won't I'll try sending a new version of the map, but I have issues adding new maps/map updates lately on this site. Any suggestions how and where to do it?
Author: JB (Moscow, Russia), 11-04-2018 20:21 The map is crashing - Prismatic Greed Hello!
Have tried this awesome map twice in MP, and each time it ended by crashing some time in the game.
Here's a link to the autosave during which the game will crash - as soon as Tan starts its turn.

Author: Magnus (Denmark), 27-09-2017 10:39 Great map - Prismatic Greed Many details and loved playing it. Great job. However, it was a bit to easy after a couple of months, and better AI should be considered.
All those different monoliths really drove me crazy :P

HOTA - Prismatic Greed
Do you have HOTA (Horn Of The Abyss) downloaded? That may be your compatibility issue.
Author: Synesthesiac (United States), 03-12-2016 01:09 Great Map - Prismatic Greed Just finished this one in M6, me v AI on Impossible. The map design is beautiful, and there are a lot of fun areas to explore. I have some suggestions though:
It ended up being too easy. This probably isn't an issue at all in multiplayer, but vs AI, I was unbeatable by the end of the second month with Rampart. Maybe you could make a single player only version giving the AI bonuses, to make the map more difficult.
The hidden castles are cool, but it takes too long to get there. By the time I did, I could have easily swept the map, I only checked to see what was there. It wasn't worth it. I think it could be cool if capturing your Prism Castle was a win scenario. You could stack the garrison to make the fight difficult. That could make it matter, and deal with the tedious cleanup at the end of the map.
More Admiral's Hats!!!!
That's it...thanks for the hard work!

Thanks for your comments! - Prismatic Greed
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'll try to give AI bigger advantage, but I was never that good with testing and AI design so I might give up on that thought in the future.
I agree, I should do something about Prism Castles, like make it a win scenario. Originally the reward was also a grail, but it led to some design mistakes.
Another issue sadly is that instead of one big town, there are several of them so I don't know if I can achieve that without reworking half of the map.
I'll see what I can do however :)
Author: Popcioslav (Lublin, Poland), 11-11-2016 17:14 Thanks and Question - Prismatic Greed Thank you everyone for any feedback directed to this or any other map.
I will promise to continue working on this map and possibly send it to Hota team to see if they would like to include it in one of the updates.
However I've a question to community using this site. I've seen the download count of this map change dramastically since I've last checked it. It's either too big and than drops down a lot in few days, is this a bug or I'm just seeing things? o_o
Author: Denyhexes (Johor Bahru, Malaysia), 28-10-2016 05:39 minor bugs - Prismatic Greed here are some obscure bugs i've encounted
55, 156, 1 is the red border that blocks the subterranean gate after entering
21, 73, 0 snowy random town has no name
86, 117, 0 group of ordinary objects only accessible by flight
I will fix these bugs as quickly as possible with the next update!
Author: Denyhexes (Johor Bahru, Malaysia), 28-10-2016 05:24 Absolutely fun to play - Prismatic Greed This is very well crafted map rich in details and artistic design. Me and my buddy love taking our time exploring and building our empire and this map suits perfectly. Had about 14 hours in with my buddy and still going
- Unlike other top maps ive played which felt like a RNG map or just plain messy. This map; no 2 island is ever identical and no sector or cluster of objects is ever reused
- Large sectors of "hidden" areas to explore
- AI has no problems navigating this vast archipelago
- balance monsters to fight with even when my heroes are lvl 20, theres no shortage of hordes to deal with
Like all detailed hand crafted maps there will be some minor flaws
- imbalance mines layout. My friend started with teal but couldn't find a ore or wood mine until 4 days later not realising its the island to the south.
- I got stucked after entering a subterranean gate blocked by a red border guard -.-"
- underground backtracking can be tedious at times as monoways and portals will put you at random locations throughout the map
Overall this is a top 5 maps i've played throughout my heroes 3 life cycle. What can i say? The dedication to details is truly spectacular for such a huge map, must have took half a year to craft this. A masterpiece in my books
I agree, I should have made it more obvious where players such as teal have mines, but I tried to balance it out with giving a teal player huge area to explore in, I will try to place a bottle hinting where all the main mines are in the next update.
I've heard about the subterran gate glitch, I will do my best to fix it in the next update, sorry for the issue.
Underground is my Achilles' Foot. I sometimes literally got stuck trying to design this place since everything looks almost the same and I didn't want to make another underground maze. I'll try to remove few monoways and make it more simple in the next update.
Actually the whole map took me two years, but it's because I was stuck working on other maps while doing so :D
If there's any other issue, please let me know!
Author: Davidd1979 (NY), 03-07-2016 16:54 Is there any other maps of this great of a quality? - Prismatic Greed This amazing map has been the only map I have played for ages. I only play hot seat with my wife and I have yet to find a map that works as well as this. However as amazing as it is, after hundreds of hours of play it's starting to become familiar.
Can anyone recommend other similar maps that are this big and offer similar amount of detail and challenge? Words cannot describe how much I would appreciate if I found even one. Thank you!

Well - Prismatic Greed
Most of this map was inspired by another map already in HotA called 'Barren Lands' or something like that. If you liked this map I really recommend the other. No game session is the same :)
Currently trying different maps on this site. Some seem decent. My other maps aren't of the same scale as Prismatic Greed, but I hope you will like them too.

Author: Echo, 11-05-2016 15:16 Like The update? : - Prismatic Greed Heeey. My friend and I finally got time to play some HotA this weekend and we'd love to use this map, but I see you have an unpublished update waiting for HotA update - would it be possible to get the updated map sooner? We won't have a chance to play together again for... years, probably.
I realize you likely won't see this message in time, but if you did and would share the update that would be really nice :) If not, we'll give the older version a go since this seems like a very cool map.
Thank you for making it and have a good day!
