Type : Era 3.95
My name is Commodus, Caesar of Roman Empire, Commander of the Thousand Legions, loyal son of the untrustworthy and heartless Marcus Aurelius. The Spaniard stole my throne and dignity, thus all paths led to this: Maximus must die and will do so by my hand.
Please Mars, give me strength!

I used just 20k HB against Maximus - not a single imp or familiar to turn ,the hero came way too late and not enough resources anyway (even spending all the resources on army ,sacrificing fire bonus ,wasn't covering the price to convert 12k familiars) .Around 7k mithrills out before last 3 days ,not much use.MoE in line ,but not very soon

Yes, I beat Maximus 5/3/3, a month later, so I had 40k devils, because the income from mines is progressive, on 5th month it gives x5. And of course, every day did the arena. Yet there were about 5000 imps still to upgrade, no money as well, thats the drawback.

Nice. Have you used a lot the magic shop to buy movement? Because once you have more than 15k demons, their upgrade is free, so money can be saved for movement./

Author: Mures (United Kingdom), 12-10-2024 04:49 Like Probably this version is the one you intended! - The Empire of the World IV I don't know ,nor even imagine the skills of Mr. Green over the play on MoE faction - not sure if teleporters can be exploited now that hard or if blind would influences the last figts somehow - but MoS is really speedy here .If the gameplay wasn't that hectic , I would replay some moments to save one or two days just to have increased chances to finish the map under 2 months ;defeating Halon on 2/4/2 gives me some hope .PS :just imagine not to meet any invaders...!

Initially the goal was to allow every faction to shine, be addictive and competitive, but until the last version I was not satisfied, MoS was finally weaker and MoD was boring. I hope the last one fixed this. Of course, some players creativity and exceptional skills will always remain a nightmare for mapmakers, because either you design a map for only a couple of people to survive, or you design it for everybody but then you have some Mures guy who kills the map 4 times faster than you imagined ;)
That's life.

The gameplay lies in the map dimension - The Empire of the World IV
I don't see myself as a good player , but as an ex chess amateur ,I studied the elements of every aspect of the map ; the size is huge ,but still connected by number of heroes ,skills ,the crucial fights conditions...I found this map very pleasant and I feel real joy replaying it - it's not a bad at all if there are ways to improve the gameplay . I took notice that you are into classical music ( I met one pianist at a local chess club , Petr Limonov , very charming personality ) and I wonder if great composers would approve modern interpretations on their works - like Hillary Hahn on J.S.Bach's ,for example. As you put it,this is life - and your work is great!

In the 8 skills we can give with editor, he doesn't have Tactics. So they came as hidden skill. I fought him a few times when he had tactics, but guess for a speed run is bad luck. You can open Wystan hero in Trainer (F2 + type his name) and see which skills exactly he has.
I suggested a solution for you in Heroes community tew4 thread. See if it suits you.

Got it! - The Empire of the World IV
It was a curiosity; that made the battle different than before - first time it was quite easy ,the clones alone did the strategy. This time was different and a bit longer , but I managed nevertheless .Can't wait to level up more heroes to do some jobs , like Rion ( he defeated Ash!).
Author: Mures (United Kingdom), 07-10-2024 21:00 Like First attempt for a hyper speed run on MoS - The Empire of the World IV After first 3 weeks ,I got just a bit over 200 mithrills , enough to defeat Damacon and Jaegar without losing devils ,but not enough to convert any town ; then I proceeded to clean next 2 areas , got another 200 and pass over Gerwulf and Olema ,but on 1/4/7 there is no way against Ajit (not enough time to clean the new area for another 200 mithrills and unlucky about fire magic - this randomness broke my speed ) . Probably I will restart so I can get expert fire + expert air before facing Ajit and Dace ; the point is that I want to check if Dace can be defeat in first month , so in next week I can have access to some cornupedias.

Not possible,but still a good game - The Empire of the World IV
Commodus is sitting between Logistic Master and a school of magic at beginning of the day at 1/4/7 (with movement bonus unlocked ) and still not enough power to tank decently the dragons (hatred darkness dragons,not to mention about fear) ;Commodus and Rion have combined 90 fights ,so second bonus is out of question.Even if I could ,I can't reach Dace this month - so I will slow down few days to farm Olema area and to position heroes for fast cleaning CB at beginning of the next month .At least I tried...

If I remember well, the hatred ability is given randomly day 7 of the week (for next week). So day one you have to reload end day 6 to change the hatred setup.
Mures (United Kingdom) writes:
08-10-2024 16:08
Math reasons - The Empire of the World IV
1.If hatred was on other dragons , I would reload because extra damage from 6 units is huge; but changing the damage from a single unit doesn't mean much ,I was still weak.
2.Due to the 2 weeks restriction of training ,I have to choose very carefully the next hero to upgrade ;yes ,they are running fast ,but ,for this faction ,I am interested that CB's to be cleaned by the same hero in that day (at least until I will unlock another experience sources ) - so if first hero to be trained was Rion ,next one it should cover the area between Ajit and Zubin .There is no teleportation in that area and not much experience to farm for those heroes to split .
Author: Mures (United Kingdom), 06-10-2024 20:26 Like MoW - The Empire of the World IV Finished in 4/4/1 , 450 points because I was using one of the grail from invaders.This faction is very fast on short distances due to the number of heroes - all lev +40,logistic,pathfinding and town portal.All invaders defeated by secondary heroes (even conquered some tonws).

I think the problem is the "8 months", as AI stats grow every month, so map should be won before month 6 with all factions, except MSpeed, which is twice faster.
Especially with MoD, you should not have problems, they have petrifying attack so just go for AI, not wasting time looking around. Also Tazar hydras can be killed by level 5 magic, so your devils should be given implosion on hit. Which you can remove later, by transferring it to another mob.

Here is the last battle with MoD, month 5 week 3. As you see, is not 1500 devils but more than 40 000 devils I have. I don't think map is hard, is by all means much easier than before.

Author: Cristian Mures (United Kingdom), 07-01-2024 07:01 Like An honest question - The Empire of the World IV What is the purpose of this map? Everything is OP ,no matter what you play - probably MoS a bit more than any ,so many bonuses early and easily I defeated Yog in 2/4/6 with it (I really enjoyed defeating Solmyr ,Tazar and Mutare in the same day).
It wasn't that hard before ,now it's even more unbalanced ;whatever hatred units supposed to create trouble ,they can not escape from winning formula ;when they can act different ,it doesn't matter - daemons are all around .Just for fun ,first hero released can take his bonus with every faction - not sure how great achievement is this for MoD.
So...why not another map?
Valery (France) writes:

First idea, years ago, was to have MoS the fastest then MoD the strongest, for those playing first time. It turned out MoE and MoW were so powerful that no one played MoS and MoD anymore, with MoD being spoiled of any creativity. This version gives them what I wanted in first place, the advantage.
My purpose is not making very hard maps, it never was that.

Hmm, strange. Let me recapitulate, just in case : Install SoD or Complete edition. Then double click on Era.exe and specify Heroes 3 path. Then install HD mod, tweak it as you like, then the mods, same pattern as for Era. In mod manager, the order should be priority from the bottom, which means WoG scripts at the bottom, and then TEw4 and then the other mods.

Valery (France) writes:
28-12-2023 13:33
+ - The Empire of the World IV
Era 3 works for sure, Era 2 I don't know, it is no longer distributed as win 10 has problems with.
Text fixed to display properly with new ERA fonts.
Hardcore comes with bonuses as well, as Improved learning skill and reduce defense ability from start.
Master of Elements starts with all magic schools
Master of Wealth can train other heroes every 7 days, instead of 14 for other factions. Every Master of Wealth hero can train another hero. Only Commodus can train other heros when other factions.
Added much needed bonuses for Master of Speed, as starting quest bonus, better mithril from banks, speed upgraded reduced to 1/4 and Caves of Gods respawning EACH week Invaders will drop Cornucopia components. MoS becomes, as intended first, a total ownage, if played well !
However the Horseshoes (adds unused movement points from previous turn) was tweaked, to prevent massive abuse with MoS (in my tests, waiting one week with one hero wearing him then doing all banks in one day gave 15k mithril). Now only Commodus can
wear them and it gives previous unused movement points, up to 50 000 only.
The Magic Shop was modified, more interesting options.
Master of Devils was entirely reshaped, now it offers a very different gameplay than the other factions. Took me many reruns to finally get the balance between too easy and too hard. The balance was achieved by creating dynamic treasure hunters.
Check infos for each faction in game, by clicking the [?] icon near the minimap.
