8 Great Powers, each with individual strengths and weaknesses, must battle over continents and islands, seas and caverns, until only one is supreme.
Expect large armies and high stats. No Town Portal, yes Fly and DD. Every race has a good shot at victory and has been won in playtesting.
Author: Emmett (Los Angeles, USA), 08-08-2024 09:48 Great as Rampart! - World Strife Loved starting out as Rampart on my little crescent island then expanding out and conquering the Dungeon Overloads underground.
Some notes:
1) There is a well that is inaccessible in the southeast just west of the neutral town.
2) You can sneak around the Crystal Dragons in the Southeast guarding the vile of dragon blood and get the artifact without fighting them.

Great map - World Strife
Great map had so much fun on this one, maybe the best I ever played.
Author: Alexander Belous (Zurich, Switzerland), 23-06-2021 01:54 Like Very good for single-player mode - World Strife Just finished it in 6 months. The absence of Town Portal is actually what makes the game intense - giving all your army to one hero won't work here; I ended up having 3 main heroes.
I only got DD/Fly in the endgame, when some AI players already had them. After that the game becomes much easier.
P.S. I couldn't get Earth Magic for one of the main heroes, but on this map Berserk is a decent alternative to Resurrection. However, I didn't find it in any Mage Guild, only in the Tome of Fire Magic.
Author: Mikk (Estonia), 20-01-2016 16:43 Best singleplay map - World Strife Only map which I like more than this is dat LOTR one with 2 allies. I like maps where computer has bigger armies and isn't a puzzle (When only way you are defeated is when your hero dies) which wants me to start from saves again. Really balanced and best map for single play for sure. And when others want some more challenging map, then they should play different maps.
Author: Dems (USA), 09-12-2015 23:39 Great Multiplayer Map - World Strife I have played a fair bit of MP with two of my friends and we keep coming back to this map. Everything is well balanced and visually appealing.
For whatever reason, WoGification made this map significantly harder in SP. Not sure if that's just my settings, but it made for a fun challenge that I eventually lost.
Anyways, 10/10 in my book. Nicely done.
Author: Terje Kristoffer Nilssen (Oslo, Norway), 02-04-2011 16:05 Well done A very good map, well balanced. :)
Author: MiuMiu (Faraway Kingdom), 19-03-2011 20:49 RE: thoughts, vol. 2 First, let me say that I agree about the map being quite easy for an experienced HoMM 3 player (and changes could be added for those who want more).
Second, my point of discussion was that: a) not all are as experienced as the "nitpicking&quo t; commentators. For some, level 3 creature fight can be quite a challenge. :) b) If the map is played in a multiplayer mode, then neutral mobs' strength is an irrelevant topic, since player-vs-player action will become the main action already somewhere during the 4-5th week.
To BCM:
No, I do not smoke. My friends and I (maybe 4-6 of us depending on the motivation and possibilities) organize a small weekend lanparty once in a few months and usually we grind through the XL map in 4-6 hours + final human-vs-human battles. Of course, I appreciate your concern for my well-being.
Author: vladica (Kumanovo, Macedonia), 18-03-2011 20:07 super Great job Spencer, i love maps with all dragons in the game ( blue and cristal ). Thanks for the map , its great that still lots of player like this game.
Best regards,
Author: Spencer (USA), 15-03-2011 19:04 Like From the Mapmaker Hello all! Thanks for playing the map! I won't weigh in on the debate, I just wanted to point out for those for those who liked this that the second map we made, King of the Mountain, can also be downloaded on this site.
Author: bigcitymama (greece), 15-03-2011 16:48 Like mioumiou i thought this was a single player map rating m8,im sorry if i misunderstood :)
anyways i would like to ask you a question ...
are you a smoker?
and what is your time limit in MP?
cause if your a smoker and play a map like that with 7 other friends ,you risk to considerably damage your health...
Author: Coconut (Scotland), 15-03-2011 16:23 Response I think I want to defend Bigcitymama a bit. Sure, this is a MP map, but why couldn't it be a more interesting SP map as well?
For example; area NW-surface looks very far away from any start position, but guards are mostly level 1, 2 or 3. That'll offer no challenge, MP or SP. Strong armies are easily formed, I would epect more guards level 5, 6 and 7 in places like this, even in boosted numbers.
Bigcitymama's first suggestion is good as well; AI-only support in towns. Better for SP, doesn't affect MP aspect in any negative way.
Some other issues:
* Fly and DD means you can easily get behind guards if there is space to land. Look at that northern banana-shaped island for illustration; you can loot that whole island while leaving the dragons standing (except the artefact). Please fill every square, or ban Fly and DD.
* There are lots of recruitment sites. I counted 13 around the Rampart start alone. This'll lead to a lot of running around every week and players will curse your map for it!
Possible solution for some of those sites; make them give a one-time high number of units instead of a weekly trickle - best done with Grayface's editor; take a seer's hut, give it the appearance of your chosen recruitment site and ask for X money for X troops.
I almost never play maps, only for testing I sometimes play a map. But if you want to make adjustments and need a play tester after that, consider me interested: RythmnBlues666 at aol dot com (for SP).
The map has an interesting layout and the map painting is very pleasing. I'm sure it works already very well as a MP map, but should work fine as SP as well after some editing.
Author: MiuMiu (Faraway Kingdom), 15-03-2011 00:51 Re: thoughts Your concern for how easy the game becomes as your play progresses has one fundamental flaw: this is a 8-human-player balanced multiplayer map. Hence the growing discrepancy in power between the AI and a skilful human player.
Try playing this game with 7 real-life friends, free for all.
Author: bigcitymama (greece), 14-03-2011 16:46 Like thoughts im on the 4th month of your map and im already far from being menaced of any of the opponents ,even with an army 2-3 times bigger than my own.
this leaves the game without any challenge!
what you should do?
1.give some extras to some of the opponents(AI only).
2.keep slow as an extra
3.keep town portal banned(as it must be if im guessing right)
4.if you got town portal banned than why you got fly and dimension door so easy to get?(you made so many portals ,so that the distances in map would be shorter).
5.keep it low on artifacts!
6.increase the enemy's aggressiveness(i witness an enemy taking over a territory and avoiding attacking the middle castle!)
besides all this, its a well structured classic HOMM3 map ,that gives you all the pleasure in the start and then becomes boring!
for the records ,i played with purple and yes i am certain that i already played the map years ago :)
ill give you a friendly 8 :)
Author: MaxSI (Bulgaria), 08-03-2011 23:07 Good job guys Nice map ;) good job to you both. Keep doing maps like this :) with Town portal , without Fly and DD :) 10 / 10 rate
Author: another 10, 08-03-2011 01:14 Very good The balance is perfect!
I like hard maps
10x
Author: Spencer (USA), 08-03-2011 00:16 Like It's my map This was the first map my friend and I made, and it was a labor of love that we spent a long time on many years ago. It's been tweaked here and there over time, and I'd like to hear any feedback, particularly about balance issues. Definitely best played with friends.
