Author: Manos (Greece), 11-03-2024 12:19 1 gold Dragon vs 7*88 pikemen - The Bogmire Brothers I am the beggining and i am already stuck with gold dragon against pikemen.
I saw a walkthrough in Youtube but he fights against 200 something pikemen. Instead of that i have to beat 7 stacks with 88 pikemen with 1 gold dragon.
Any idea?
Anyway,it seems a great map!

You need an armageddon's blade for that fight if I recall correctly. With 1 or 2 casts of armageddon it becomes a cakewalk.

Author: Evgenia Vasileva (Bulgaria), 20-02-2024 21:38 Giving up at the End - The Bogmire Brothers I guess I will give up at the end. The map was super fun up until almost the very end. I wanted the game to end with Boatman and the last two castles. I spent a few weeks playing the card almost every day (real time) and I do not have the energy to fight off hordes of heroes with 99/99/99/99. Otherwise, amazing map, I just don't think I will finish it.
Author: Evgenia Vasileva (Bulgaria), 18-02-2024 19:44 Stuck after Spaniel - The Bogmire Brothers It might be a long stretch but pls help me. I have beaten Spaniel and now I do not know what to do. I believe I have eradicated all heroes on the surface. I know how to reach the Boatman but not how to reach the Horn of the Abyss. I have been playing this card for such a huge amount of time and I don't want to give up.
NVM, sorry, I didn't do enough spinies in the whirpool. Fascinating map otherwise. I feel like it taught me how to actually play HOMM3. Never ever had more fun with the game. Going to kill me some Azures.

I build it once, then give it away and I'm unable to build another statue. I just have all the component parts but they won't "assemble"

Right mouse click - The Bogmire Brothers
If you have all 5 parts of legion, click the right mouse button to assemble the set
Author: Derakusa (Estonia), 10-09-2023 16:22 Good and long map - The Bogmire Brothers I like the style of going separate routes at the start and this map really benefits players who have good battle skills. I took a while, but got it done within 13-14 months in game. Had to reload many battles and saves to get it done. When you play with 1 life, it would be really hard lol.
Some errors that I saw:
1. I never had enough admiral hats to open as many gates as I wanted to. As you can see from my screenshot I never got armageddons blade. Got admiral hats when was going underground later, but then I already had most of the artifacts.
2. Pink just died out lol because teal was blocking their path to the one way portal.
3. Some really long battles that took 1-2 hours to beat. My longest ones were the one against Gorgona when I used titan's thunder and sharpshooters and then the one against the first teal in the end where I used breserk + archdevils against his fortress troops. It took a lot of replays to know when he casts cure and just kills my devils behind the force field with his liches. After that I used the brother with the archery speciality and somehow avoided these heroes reaching to my archers.
Author: ., 14-05-2021 08:29 Allows for casual play - The Bogmire Brothers I liked that it allowed for casual play - 2 brothers were stuck as I could not figure out how to beat a champion with a troll, so they had to be rescued. But I was making progress elsewhere so that was ok.
The end was a bit tedious with heroes coming through random teleporters and taking my castles and then having to chase them down, but at least with DD at that point it was not as bad.
I had this awesome stake of 40k mighty gorgons though that just demolished everything. With ironfist, +4 speed from artifacts and slow on first round they usually took out the most powerful enemy stack easily! Though the slow immunes did make me have to think a bit more.
Overall a lot of fun, even if the ending got a tedious [worst though when I had to visit all the primary stats boosts with someone that has Expert Intelligence/Expert Fire for the 70k Azure fight as I had not really leveled him at that point].

Author: Stone (France), 21-02-2021 21:06 My opinion about this map - The Bogmire Brothers Fucking map ! I play this game since 20 years, but never i've been so frutrated. I think the black moroccan haschisch is not compatible with this map.
I'll try it later. Maybe...

Author: maygwan (D), 15-09-2020 10:27 also it may not be this map - The Bogmire Brothers I didnt check map to see where everything is but if i gave u bow of sharp shooter try dismantle it. I sometimes do that on maps like i say i havent gone into editor just saying stuff of top my head but u can beat that hero many have.
Author: maygwan (D), 15-09-2020 10:25 youve found all hidden areas? - The Bogmire Brothers And purchased the ammo cart ect?

Author: Rudy Janke (United States), 14-09-2020 01:18 Like 20 Azures with ammo cart and forcefield - The Bogmire Brothers Is there any way to get the right setup when I have all war machine or am I just completely stuck? Otherwise great map so far.
Author: joao domingues (portugal), 11-09-2020 00:42 3rd week - The Bogmire Brothers Im on 3rd week and cant get throught the dragon lord with 20 azure dragons.
i only got 6 knowledge and so its impossivel to win, even if i wait 2 more weeks with him, i lost almost all sharpshooters and so i wasnt able to do anything more with that hero.
You should take this in mind, because if i had +1 knowledge, i would beat him, cause i would be able to cast 3 more times forcefield, but its the randomizer level up stats that dictate your sucess or insucess here.
Oh!, and bare in mind that i tried this fight more then 30 times, and at least, azure dragons fear my sharpshooters twice, so, literally impossivel
I don´t know if this is meant to be this way, but i found the grail way before i went to all obelisks. you should put him on a more dificult to find location, because that location is pretty easy, since there's not much around that spot, wich makes it way easy to discover where it is.
I think Maygwan deliberately wanted it that way. I also suspected early on that spot was where the grail was, simply because it was a guarded spot with no apparent reward. However I would never have paid the fee required to gain access to that spot, so I never obtained the grail.
On this map you have lots of money and creatures to choose from. You cannot afford all creatures, nor do you need all creatures.
A grail's benefits are really quite minimal compared with the size of the battles you will be fighting.
And the 'fee' required (which I'm not saying explicitly to avoid spoilers) is sufficiently important not to give up in exchange for a grail building!

Super map! - The Bogmire Brothers
Spoiler (!!!): just use one stack with some amount of azure dragons, then use magic: power field + berserk (Dar Bogmire hero is preferred). Also you will need a lot of mana.
I used ~70 azure dragons and ~2500 mana, loss half of dragons, used all mana and barely win.

Devils - The Bogmire Brothers
I know this is a long time ago, but I used a stack of devils with 1 Azure. The Azure was just to keep the devils from freezing as it is game over if the devils freeze in a round where you have to cast TP. Then Berzerk till there is one stack left, and let the devils finish them off. I started with ~2600 mana, but still had about 800 left - but I really focused hard to get as many stacks of Azures into range (even casting on a single stack so that they fly to the rest).
I used less than 1500 mana. Have to be quite alert with how you cast your Berserk. Always try to make it worth the mana by casting on 3 stacks (you normally don't get the chance to cast on 4 stacks because the AI will separate the dragons). Also, you can use Archdevils, Sharpshooters, your own Azure Dragons to inflict extra damage and kill the enemy off more quickly.
Author: aimless, 17-03-2020 20:36 Great map! - The Bogmire Brothers Very good map. It was very interesting. Some pointers at the start, or during progress might be good. I lost time here and there just because I didn't know map specifics, lie hidden artifacts, or the need for expert water magic. Could have guessed of course...
I didn't try to restart and make faster run, just played it as it goes. Now I now where and how I could be faster. Maybe some time will try again.
Loved the battles, found some new tactics, was really fun. Too bad you can't keep all 4 brothers equally advanced till the end. You might try, but it takes too much additional time, and with such a big map really hard to keep stats balanced.
Finished in 385 days, with my main hero having 98/99/99/99 and 67 lvl.
Got 386 scores, but if counted by old map scores formuala it should've been 486.
For people who struggle with the map or want to see how it's played - there is a video on youtube. You can find it by searching for the map title. Some guy was streaming while he played.

My result is not great: 528 days / 296 points and I phased off the pink by not letting him conquer a town. Anyway Lots of fun and sleepless nights.
Are you planning a similar one on elven brothers or some kind of sisters? Will be happy to test

Author: Echo, 18-11-2018 07:43 Magic Elementals without delay? - The Bogmire Brothers Hey, all 3 of the brothers are progressing smoothly enough, but the barbarian one is just stuck behind those elementals. What's the trick? I cannot figure it out :(
I'm at month 2 week 2 day 2 with 13 ABehemoths, 24 Thunderbirds, and 49 Cyclop Kings.
I really liked the start of this map, it's so nicely thought out, I love when a map feels so planned. The only issue would be the repetitive battles with Hydras/Green heroes.
Thanks for making another beautiful map and hints for the elementals please :D Leaving the brother to sit and wait thee for longer makes me feel like I'm failing hah.

Hidden patch for Earth Boss - The Bogmire Brothers
Finally I found out, after watching hours of some other guy playing, where was the hidden patch with the watering holes, near the Rampart with the gorgons. Sincerely, I found these tricks just stupid, specially when you have already a vast portion of the map revealed and no clue to where to look for.
Same goes for the event with the bow and the bowstring in the Conquest but that one at least was easy to find in the editor.

Author: myth (Craiova, Romania), 10-01-2018 18:25 myth - The Bogmire Brothers Very nice map again with unbeliavable amount of work in it, but for me it's too much with those endless fights doing the same stuff over and over again. for most of the fights i didn't had any problems. two i haven't figured out yet but I decided to quit it anyway. Booring fight is one reason and another is that I can see another invasion is expected. It's cool once, but this would be 3rd time in a row for me and i'm not in the mood. maybe some other time. this being said, I really appreciate all your work a lot.
