As a contestant in The Second Gauntlet:
The Best of All Worlds, you need to fight your way through opponents and neutral creatures which both increasingly gain in strength. Unlimited hero leveling.

Author: Douglas Todd (Canada), 18-03-2020 05:34 The Second Gauntlet for HOMM 7 - The Second Gauntlet Great map, off to an interesting start. Is there any work around the crashng bug?
I have auto save turned off and have doubled my RAM , running at 32gb now.
Author: Venzo (Sofia), 31-08-2019 16:19 Not happy - The Second Gauntlet The trick with turning autosave off didn't work for me. Consider to advise players that THE MAP IS BROKEN. It was just waste of time :/ Too bad for your good work.
Author: Matt (Poland), 11-04-2019 15:01 Possibly a great map - The Second Gauntlet Possibly a great map. Choice of "wet terrain" makes turns short. Limited gold income made it economically challenging. I reached level 50 with Dungeon faction Trickster Hero, still no army was particularly threatening. Maybe it was my luck, it was fun though.
Good play until needed load a save game. It turned out that all savegames files since particular moment (including new savegame made after opening one of older files) are corrupted - game just exits to desktop without any error message. Too bad.
Author: Danny (United States), 09-11-2017 16:19 map does not use patches - The Second Gauntlet It seems that your maps somehow do not include any of the patches. This may be the reason for all the crashes. I would get crashes for things that were fixed in patches. Plus, if you just look at the stats for the minions, they do not include the latest patch balance changes. I can load other maps that include the patches, but yours do not.

Bug - The Second Gauntlet
Yes, it is a developer glitch. Even when I have indicated in the Map Editor that a certain hero is not be used as a possible hire, the game allows it anyway. I had the same problem with "Angel" until I made all the units in the army be garrisoned in the town rather than with the hero. At any rate, with The Second Gauntlet I won't change it because it may be fun for some to start out with an army that large. As far as I know no one has ever been able to complete this map because the game crashes before the player can complete it. This particular game has really tested the limits of what the game is capable to doing to the breaking point, but players have said they enjoyed playing it as far as they could go. One player apparently reached level 146 before the game crashed, which is pretty impressive.

large map woes - The Second Gauntlet
Yep the furthest I could go was 50-something, then it crashed, and guess what - all the save games are corrupt right back to the first one which was level 30. So I cannot be bothered. It was looking really promising too. Such a great disappointment that I have for this awesome franchise messed up by Ubi.

Having Hope - The Second Gauntlet
Maybe I am thinking pie-in-the-sky but I was hoping that by Ubisoft severing ties with Limbic that they will find a different, and hopefully much better, developer for HOMM 8. And, hopefully, a much better Map Editor, because that is what helps keep the franchise alive. I am amazed that Heroes 3 maps are still being made and played on a regular basis. I even bought the GOG Heroes 3 Complete Edition and downloaded HOTA so I can get in on some of the fun.

Leveling Cap - The Second Gauntlet
Not being able to get past level 31 I do not understand. The person who wrote just before you reached level 146 before the game crashed.

played again - The Second Gauntlet
I played the map again and no problem with level cap. I found that the AI is not as strong as the AI in Gauntlet 1. Maybe it's to do with the creeps being too strong so the AI leaves them alone. Also all of a sudden loading the savegame keeps crashing the game so that's a waste of a good few days :(
Author: Random. (Donetck), 04-10-2016 10:38 Outstanding one! - The Second Gauntlet Даже с отключенны ми автосейвам и после 146 уровня игру продолжить не удалось. Но карта очень приятная и интересная .
Author: Herak (Prague), 03-10-2016 13:49 Not for hot seat? - The Second Gauntlet Hi man, we have been trying to play this map on one computer but it did not even appear in the multiplayer scenarios (in single player only). This map if for single player only? Or can there be something done so it would be playable for more than one player? Thank you.

Single Player Only - The Second Gauntlet
Yes, this map is single player only. My map, War of the Elementals, is multiplayer. Single player and multiplayer maps are entirely different in the way the game needs to be designed.

Skirmish maps - The Second Gauntlet
Hi, already played all your multiplayer maps with my friends ;-). Will be happy if there will be more eventually. Do you start by creating generated map or do you make your maps from the scratch (or it varies with each map)? May the force be with you.

Map Creation - The Second Gauntlet
All but two of my maps so far have been started with a generated map, which helps to some degree. Of course, those have many errors and otherwise impassable areas plus I tweak so much stuff that I wonder if it was worth it.

Author: Vojta (Prague), 06-09-2016 11:01 Thanks a lot. - The Second Gauntlet Yeas, another Grextar map. They are great!
I am also working in map editor, trying to produce a good and big map, it takes ages (editor sucks and sometimes your work does not save). So I appreciate that someone makes maps...

Map Editor - The Second Gauntlet
I look forward to playing your map. It does take time and, as you said, you "save" something and than go back and find out it wasn't done. It can be frustrating. I was hoping for better with the latest update but it was more of the same with a few extra dwarven related items. So much of the map has to be done before you save it for the first time...so, it is a big risk.

Map editor - The Second Gauntlet
Hey, I am still working on my map. And yes, I still freezes when I save sometimes. But I will finish the map in autumn, I am too close to give up now. :-) Thanks for all the maps that you have made!

Publishing map – problem... - The Second Gauntlet
Hi man, I have finished my map and it is sort of ready to be published. BUT. Publishing fails every time (from main editor and from the Unreal editor as well), it starts but after a minute it just shows "Failed!" message after some time.
Do you have some tips how to overcome this?
I was thinking that this might be solved by sending the map source file so maybe you could try publishing in your editor if you would be willing to help...
Cheers,
Vojta

Sorry I missed this post - The Second Gauntlet
Apparently you got it to work after a while because you created (and published) a great map. How did you overcome the problem?

Autosaves - The Second Gauntlet
I have found that disabling autosave works for the most part. Of course, every time the game updates it re-enables the autosave feature.
