HotA with VCMI outdated - The Mysterious Island - Heroes 3 map

Hi!

Thanks a lot for trying to play the map — I’m really sorry it’s not working.

From what I understand, there’s a big gap between the version of HotA emulated through VCMI and the “real” official HotA.

To work properly, the map requires Horn of the Abyss version 1.7.2 or 1.7.3.

My project started in... 1998 - The Mysterious Island - Heroes 3 map

A bit of history behind my map...

As a kid, I was fascinated by Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island.

When I discovered Heroes II back in 1998, I immediately dreamed of turning that island into a playable map. I even drew a rough sketch at the time — but with the limitations of the XL map size,

Stolen candy from a baby - The Sin of the Father - Heroes 3 map

100% agree with the point "It's always a pleasure to find a big map".

But it is definitely not "Difficulty : Impossible" - easy-peasy - every spell, including DD/Fly/WW/TP/Berserk are allowed, as well as all possible artifacts.
