I will be updating often so check in to get the latest version.
Please share with others if you liked it.
Great for playing against friends or against bots and PVE. A store where you can buy everything from secondary and primary skills to artifacts and heroes, lots of questing, bosses and lore.
Every team play differently!
Try it out and tell me what you think, I will keep on improving it.

Start with lower difficulty - Grims Broken Compass. Factory
Don't play the higher difficulties before you have mastered the lower ones, you need to know your way around to be able to beat the higher ones.

thank you - Grims Broken Compass. Factory
I play HoMM3 25 years. By the end of the game I beat all enemies with almost 0 loses on Epert lvl. So I know HoMM well enough. But what I don't understand is active (so walking on a map)enemy heroes at the beginning of the game with 50+ archangels and 90+ defense. The only one fact saves the game - that hero did not come to my castle. Anyway good map, thanks for the work!
Author: Hutin Puy, 02-02-2025 20:30 WTF?! - Grims Broken Compass. Factory 8th week, no settled Castles on the map. I bump into the hero with 61 Archangels!!! How this could be possible? This is a joke? Game is broken.

Author: Tormalchio (Helsinki, Finland), 12-12-2024 16:06 noice - Grims Broken Compass. Factory I liked the map a lot!
Felt like a bit of a chore to get out of the bunker (was playing red), had to wait a few turns doing nothing to get enough troops in order to get by the troops guarding the gate, but I guess it could have been done a bit earlier if I was playing more autistically from the beginning :D
Played the hardest version on impossible, seemed balanced still.
Not sure if intended or not, but while the scenario information disclosed there's no Town Portal in the castles, in Rustlers Roost there was the spell already build/researched, when I cohquered it from an enemy.

Author: Clyde (Hungary), 07-07-2024 21:38 Map validation - Grims Broken Compass. Factory I just downloaded your map and had a quick look at it in the Editor to know what to expect. Are you aware that the editor has a map validation function and that it lists quite a few unreachable objects? Are they 'broken' on purpose?
The map I downloaded has v3 in its file name, but I see in earlier opinions that there was already e.g. v8.3, so is it the latest version that can be downloaded here?
Thank you anyways for the map, it shows great potential to me.

Hi! - Grims Broken Compass. Factory
Hi Peter! I'm glad that you liked it! Yes that was the hardest difficulty of the old version. A newer version is now uploaded and all of the versions have gotten harder. You should also try to play as the other teams as they all start and play very different from each other. Thank you!
Author: Grim, 09-01-2024 20:10 Like Exactly - Grims Broken Compass. Factory 1.7 Exactly! By every hero that is found on the map - there is a quest to kill him.
If you come to a place where a hero is already claimed - then you can collect the bounty on him.
When I play with friends we all know where the heroes are so it becomes a tactical choice that you will have to make. Sometimes you might claim a hero and sometimes you might just stick around to try claim the bounty. When a hero with a powerful bounty is spotted it becomes a duckhunt, so claiming a powerful hero that you will have trouble keeping is a risky move if you have insufficient army.
When you and your friends know your way around the map you will be able to make more tactical choices. All of the teams are playable and there are many paths to victory.
Author: Kuba, 09-01-2024 18:16 quests - Grims Broken Compass. Factory 1.7 There are many prisons and quests to kill someone from the prison. Does it mean that if I save the prisoner I cannot kill it myself to complete the task?
Grim (Sweden) writes:
04-02-2024 21:09
Yes - Grims Broken Compass. Factory
Yes! The bounty is for killing the hero. You may get the chance to kill your own hero if he dies and he is rerecruited by an enemy.

The difference in difficulties affects AI resources. The AI will gain much more resources on Impossible than on Easy.
I'm looking at making other changes to difficulties as well in future updates.
Another update will be available soon, I just haven't had the time to finish it yet. Maybe at the end of this weekend. I will make an post when it's uploaded.

The map is now updated and also a bit harder!
There is no need to go underground, but you can use the dungeons to your advantage if needed. A very experienced player as yourself might not need it but the option is still there.
Try another starting color as they all provide a different experience.
This map is also great to play with friends! (This will for sure give you a challenge)
Thank you!

Author: Chris (Australia), 08-07-2023 07:02 Fun Map! - Grims Broken Compass 7.8 I used Necro so I could cruise through.
I ended up getting the angel wings pretty early (got unlucky with skills so no air magic). But once I got the wings, I just flew past the traps to get the best artefacts. There was no point doing any more quests from that point.
I recommend trying to fill artefact areas completely, so you can't just DD or fly into them without killing the guards.

Author: Miloš (Belgrade Serbia), 07-04-2023 05:39 Spell banning - Grims Broken Compass 6.5 Let me explain you something. If you ban some spell in map specifications in HotA they won't appear anywhere (I mean castles, tomes etc.) Even you selected them in all castles. They can only appear if you set it on some magic shrine (there is also magic shrines level 4 in HotA), via spell scroll or via event. It's not like in Complete or Shadow of Death where you can ban spell in map specifications and they can appear in tomes or in aurora borealis. So you don't need to ban that spell in each castle in HotA. You banned only DD and Armageddon in map specifications and you lost time banning that spells again in all castles. You should do that for fly, TP, water walk etc. But you don't need to ban it in castles if you ban it in map specifications. Best regards.

Still a bit on the easy side, getting DD was much more expensive at least so I didn't get it as early.
Unlimited stats still too cheap, maybe some resource requirements.
Good quests but again, repeatable creature purchases should at least be more than they'd cost normally.

Beat it with Castle on 200% difficulty on M4W2D3.

I started on red with random city - got barbarians.
It was hard, but I was lucky. Enemies fights each other - so they was not unbeatable. After I'v got TP and "Tome air magic" with fly - game finished.
I start new game on Pirates side. Not finished yet. It looks - ill lose... My main hero still not got earth magic... i hope he will get :)
MAP IS VERY GOOD! But "FLY" as DD must be banned.
Spawning... Strange empty messages with tiny bonus... empty pandoras..
Its not critical :) Ambushes - sucks.
+1 from me. Thnx for good work.

Haha yes TP and Fly is a killercombo! I really like to play this map with friends because then you will have to prioritize way more and your friends will also go for those stuff and it often results in tactics and huge battles :) But I will look into it and keep on updating.
Nice! I really like playing as them! My new favourite right now in the updated version is teal :)
Thank you!
DD is banned and is only found through either Quests or in the store for a very heavy price. - It's pretty hard to get right now and you will probably only get it late lategame when everybody is pretty maxxed?
I like to keep Fly available because it makes the game faster and the bots are pretty good at using it as well but I will look into it and maybe block it from mageguild and restrict it to only be available in quests and from map?
All those things should be fixed by now in the new version except Ambushes which indeed sucks ;)

Still not done but I just found vendors to basically max out all stats and buy all spells which is a bit too easy. Now my stats are rediculous and I'm using DD to basically take out the map.
