Can you succeed to meet Captain Nemo, designer of the Nautilus, before your opponents?
Or before the volcano wakes up...

For the best challenge, choose "{King}" difficulty.

Thanks for your April fool's Feedback - The Mysterious Island

Author: Ilya Mishchenko (United Kingdom), 31-03-2025 09:30 mr - The Mysterious Island (I only played 5 months so far and yet to discover another half of this beautiful world) I try not to look at the map before I play it to make it more "mysterious" for me so I had to block the image of the map while writing this review lol. The attention to detail is staggering, bearing in mind that this is a GIANT map. This map maker has the perfect vision of how maps should look. Every road you take looks beautiful. The objects on the map are carefully thought through and the border gates idea adds even more depth to this extraordinary piece of art. The balance of the Sea and land is perfect. Nice balance of resources in the sea, you can travel fairly far without finding much, just like in the real world. You can use the sea to be more strategic with your attacks on certain parts of the island . The amount of resources is low which is great and makes it more interesting, it pushes you to explore more to find that extra edge, unlike many mapmakers that scatter resources around.
I had several critical battles against strongest heroes. Evacious was the toughest so far) I don't know if I will finish the map or the map will finish me lol but let me tell you, this is the most beautiful, exciting and detailed Giant map I have ever played. I had to put my Steam games on hold because i am excited to play this every day. Maps like this is what makes Heroes so addictive.
Thank you so much for this feedback! It truly means a lot to me. I'm thrilled that the beginning of this adventure has captivated you so much that you’ve put your other games on hold.
I can only hope that you’ll conquer this map before it conquers you, lol.
If you ever reach the end of the adventure (or not), feel free to come back here and share your thoughts. Feedback is very important to me as I prepare the update for the release of the next faction, "Bulwark," in Horn of the Abyss.
Once again, thank you for your review, and best of luck on the rest of your adventure!
Author: Papyjama (Toulouse, France), 28-03-2025 19:55 Minor update - The Mysterious Island If you've already started a game in the previous version, don't worry! These are only minor changes that won't affect the overall gameplay—except perhaps for very experienced players looking to rush through the map as quickly as possible (which isn't necessarily the intended way to play).

Author: Aleksander (Berlin, Germany), 27-03-2025 12:14 Like Beautiful map - The Mysterious Island Very underrated map, the sea needs some improvement though.
What would be your suggestions to improve the sea? Keep in mind that in the book, the island is completely isolated.
In my vision, the "sea" part is secondary (or mainly for circumnavigation, and later exploring a few specific areas).
I plan to release an update when HotA 1.7.3 comes out with the new "Bulwark" faction; it will be an opportunity to consider any feedback or comments I may have received by then. :-)
