riddles - The Tale of Two Brothers
There are clues in the area for most of the riddles, and you can also find useful stuff on H3 Wiki (https://heroes.thelazy.net/). I won't give you exact answers, sorry, that would ruin the idea :P If you are very lost, you can check this video of my friend playing the map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGgl6Bc4wWU

need help with haspids - The Tale of Two Brothers
Hello, the numbers indicate the order in which the enemy stacks attack (when you step on adjacent square, and there are multiple enemy units near you). You can use that to sneak through the Haspids, so you only attack the 10-19 stacks. Hope that helps, good luck!
I did understand that this is the order but quite didnt get it, you start attacking from the right side right? From the sea. But from the sea the order on the right side are 6-7-8.

help - The Tale of Two Brothers
Yes, you are attacking from the right side of the Haspid stacks - so you need to look on the numbers on the left side of the engraving, as you are always in the middle. Maybe this picture will help you understand it better.

Feedback - The Tale of Two Brothers
Short feedback from my side to the author:
Map concept, storyline, puzzles, all amazing. Fights on hard version are very easy, almost autocombat. Only final boss needs some thinking, but not too much.
Main challenge for me was to solve puzzles and find correct way. Fights seem to be an advertise brake during epic movie. What is strange - it was not a problem for me, still had a lot of fun. It looks like a new concept of creating maps, where adventure is far much more important than combat.

Feedback - The Tale of Two Brothers
Yes, that was pretty much my goal! I love when map has a nice story, so I tried to make the fights not so hard that you spend 2 hours on them and forget what was going on. Thank you for the awesome feedback!

Author: MortymorRobotron (CZ), 08-02-2025 18:45 The Tale of Two Brothers - The Tale of Two Brothers Hello guys, this is pretty much a linear story map, but with some tricky hidden paths and puzzles.
There are 2 translations - Czech and English. There is also an easy version of each, for casual players.
This is my 1st real map ever built, so I will be very happy about any feedback or bug report.
Thanks for playing, and enjoy!

hah - The Tale of Two Brothers
That's why you call noob yourself :) No need to kill all, just 10 haspids always... you need to make route by killing lowest packs.
I cheated a bit on lord Haart at end (blocked him with boat), but then realised that I can't win scenario lol. Something wrong with win conditions

Awesome map - The Tale of Two Brothers
Thanks for the comment! No need to kill the big stacks, you can sneak through with the right strategy (there is even a hint for that ;-) ) Also, how did you manage to capture the first guards town? Did you somehow lure him out? Not the way i planned the map, but hey, you made your own way :D Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
