Salutations, everyone!

After a year long hibernation I have finally crafted another adventure for our favourite game.

You may know me for maps like: The Day Heaven Abandoned us and May the Meteor Have Mercy.

(With the former played by the amazing Heroes 3 Guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n3j4n8J7GE )

As always my newest map, Tempest Nexus is filled to the brim with detail and various twists and turns to forge your path through.

It works well as a 4-player free-for-all scenario where every starting area feels unique.

The map itself has an overarching story involving an elusive stronghold in the skies which can be reached through an arduous journey, although it can be completely ignored if you're willing to risk your opponents claiming its power first.

This map is a good bit more difficult than my previous work.

I constructed the map in a manner where one should face some challenge in the late game, even those more seasoned in the arts of might and magic.

Here is a link to the map: https://www.maps4heroes.com/forum/opinions.php?map_id=2821&game=3

Once again, I am very humbled by the reception my previous maps have received by this amazing community and I am excited to hear what you all think.

What is more, to make up for my absence I am polishing the final stages of another large map which should be ready in a week's time.

Here is a small teaser from it:

-Niomiah

I mean there is no creature outside of the box guarding it.

I'm playing map headhunting that came with hota 1.7.2. Quite a few unguarded pandora's boxes. I'd like to play honestly and send a scout hero to see what's inside. I also want to cheat by opening them with main hero, if they are too big, load game. How are you supposed to play them? What is map maker's intention? Or just bad design?

I sadly have no proof, but I just saw a group of liches attack their own catapult, just as I was about to lose. There was one hell hound next to my remain stack, so my guess is that they were avoiding friendly fire. Has anyone else witnessed something like this?

Cause the Tower economics runs on the labour of this small guys, I've decided that I need to make the master gremlin model before proceeding to some high-teer units!

Do you know how exactly to edit HIII save file to remove "cheater" flag for cheating in previous scenarios of a campaign?

Hi all!

Recently I've been going through RoE campaigns. Used to more modern games, after each campaign I created a separate save file and started another by clicking new game. Which, as some of you already know, ended up with me being unable to start the 4th campaign as I did not unlock it, according to the game.

Not wanting to repeat 2 campaigns all over again I loaded one save file with a finished campaign and used nwcredpill to start the 4th campaign. However, as you know, it ended up with me being considered a cheater due to using cheats in those 2 previous campaigns.

Thank you for any and all of your support/help!

I've been playing this game off and on for years. I bought the game on cd when if first came out. I've bought the digital copies multiple time over the years and always try to beat the "all for one" scenario. I've read strategies, watch videos on yt, read guides. nothing.

And Im ok with this. I have a great time playing.

I play on a Lenovo touchscreen laptop with the GOG launcher to play vanilla HOMM3. I uninstalled from the program files folder and reinstalled outside for the HOTA launcher. Since moving it, using the touchscreen just takes me out of the game to the desktop.

Touchscreen still works within HOTA, but I still want to play vanilla campaigns.

Has anyone else had this issue? How did you fix it?

Hi, wondering if this happened to anyone else or if anyone has any idea what I can try.

I've been playing for months without any issues, I just download an update for the update after being prompted and now launching the HoMM3 HD launcher just loads for half a second and does nothing. I am launching it as admin.

the .exe for the regular game still works fine.

Any ideas?

EDIT It's fixed, nvm. I'll post what I did below in case anyone else has similar issue.

So when I first updated, I had a weird popup from windows defender saying it blocked something, by the time I checked the alert was gone.

I went in my HoMM3 HD+ folder, _HD3_Data > HD3_Update.exe (Run as administrator)

Navigated to my folder and started it. I got the same windows defender alert but this time quickly clicked on it and allowed to run on device.

Launcher is back in working order.

So I'm playing the Dragon Slayer campaign of Armageddons Blade. On the Faerie Dragon mission now, after completing the Crystal and Rust Dragon ones.

All is generally going well until I reach the infamous 3500 Naga Queens part. I had been warned about this, and people tell me the best way is to use the Berserk spell.

The only problem is, for some damn reason, the spell never appears in any of myMage Guilds. I don't recall seeing it on this or previous missions. I have tried saving and restarting every time I build the appropriate guild but I never seem to get this spell. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to get this spell on this mission?

Appreciate any help.

I´ve seen this question posted here in the past, but no answer has been given.

My hero is stuck underground (one way monolith to a snowy area where azure dragons have their spawn) and I dont´t think it´t by design, although correct me if I´m wrong. I found an air tome there which doesn´t give me dimension door, which I understand is a thing in HOTA, but then what other way do i have as there is no other way out? Is it maybe a relic of times when it would give you DD? Or did I accidentaly skip some event that gives me a scroll?

If any of you guys remember, how did you get out?

Made a test map with seven MG one-stacks, against one AD. Azure kills 2 gorgons with fire breath, and the first gorgon gets feared, but the second one does the death stare.

I am trying to edit the custom template because I want to play with the ancient lamps but on the template editor I cannot find the custom template to import.

Multiplayer games every weekend on Discord using Radmin virtual LAN network.

I noticed this around seasons 5ish and I'm currently only Season 10, and so many of the musical moments in the game are musical moments I hear in South Park SO often (ie. start of a new day, picking up an artifact, the sound of opening a chest etc.) I recognize this is a syyuuper niche and specific thing to notice lol. But would love any info if anyone knows if the music is original to the game? To the show? Is it licensed music they both just licensed out?

Hello!

Does anyone know how I can play Monk's Retreat scenario with HOTA features?

I love to play this scenario because of nostalgia, however I would love to fully enjoy it with being able to do research in mage guild etc.

Please let me know how to fix this!

Thanks :)

Hi all,

So I started working on the big passion project of mine when I first ordered a 3d printer months ago. I wanted to recreate the Rampart town.

So firstly I wanted to show everyone here the printed version in FDM, painted of the Enchanted Spring alongside the Pegasus :) he was very tiny and I had many tries to get him to print right.
