[biridius]

Should I make a wiki or blog listing all the different stuff in the map?
Like how spells are calculated, and how mechanics like initiative work.
Or more detailed descriptions of heroes and units.

Such a guide would come handy. I don't think you'd need an external site. Might as well use the site's Pastebin.

Thanks! Didn't know about the Pastebin. Seems handy.
Added a couple pages on Chaos and Summoning spells under the wiki tab, listing perks and spells.

 

[deepstrasz]

Thanks! Didn't know about the Pastebin. Seems handy.

Be sure to click the permanent circle for them so they won't disappear after a week or so.

 

[biridius]

Added info on Light and Dark magic perks and spells.

Update 1.62
Mainly bug fixes - a couple of them were gamebreaking (making the game stuck)

Bug fixes
- fixed logistics perk of questing knight breaking melee units
- fixed interaction between abilities "counter-attack" and "assault"/"attack twice" breaking the game
- camera center after clicking in the cintematic mode is now reset immediately on escape instead of at the start of the next turn
- fixed Crusade special effect appearing on dead stacks
- Retribution buff correctly removed when the affected stack dies
- boss speech when doing their unique abilities



New Boss: Grail Knight [level 3+]
- 5 random mercenary units
- casts retribution on two stacks, then crusade and bashes with normal attack
- Reward: The Holy Grail [offhand, 6]: +2 knowledge, +20% magic resistance, 3 charges of Resurrection.

Mercs
- added goblin soldiers, flamethrowers, steam tanks and tinkers; high elf archers; orc raiders

Other
- new model for the hero "Questing Knight" (simple re-texture with a few new animations, made it a few years ago). The old knight model looked too similar to Bandit lord on the title screen, and had no "Spell" animation.

Hey you still working on this? i saw heroes 5 models for wc3 it would be nice if u could add them i can help you find them Edit: and u have to make this map multiplayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[biridius]

Yes I'm planning to release the next update soon. A couple new systems and some minor improvements.
It will never have multiplayer (too much bad old code), and I'm trying to keep the weight low, so can't go heavy on imported models.

There are some new reforged-based projects you might like.
[Strategy / Risk] - Strategy based on Kings Bounty / HoMM
Heroes of Azeroth - A Heroes of Might and Magic inspired map

[InSaNe_97]

I can not wait for the updates! I love how map is complex and I would like it to be even more so it will need even more time to master. What a masterpiece.

 

[Unregret]

Love this kind of map. 5/5

 

[E.M.C]

I have always wanted to make a HoMM5 map in wc3 as it's one of my favorite games, but unfortunately it's way above my paygrade. So having seen this I was really happy that such a thing existed.

I played for like 10 minutes before the game crashed however, as I'm playing on an older version of the game. Still, I was very impressed with what I've seen, mainly the grid, mob splitting, seeing the movement of your opponent etc. Haven't seen anything like that in wc3 before. And also a very nice interface, giving you the access to the stats of units at all times.

If there's a minor complaint I have, it's that I would love to see the town development and resource management aspect of HOMM5 as well, and not just combat.

 

[biridius]

Update 1.69

• skills now cost different amount of skillpoints, typically 8-12; all heroes get all skills available
• ai units can use talents now
• questing knight now summons a stack of knights instead of reducing mercenary penalties

Spoiler: Small stuff

• undead can now be poisoned
• disrupting ray now also damages mechanical units, damage equal spellpower times armour reduction
• dryads only have earth and shadow magic resistance instead of full magic immunity
• shadow resistance ability changed from 100% to 50% reduction of non-elemental effects
• Summoning, Master of Life hastens the turn of the resurrected creatures
• Summoning, Illusionist grants stacks summoned by Mirror image the Incoreal ability, making them resistant to physical damage
• changes to some enemy armies strength

 

[Wareditor]

I played this today! It's definitely well made
I couldn't progress far enough because I was getting stomped from the second battle onwards. I will have to try again.

Here are some notes I took while playing.

• Picked Random Hero. Maybe the game should display the hero trait when randomly picked.
• Pretty nice UI but not always clear. I still don't fully understand how the unit drafting works. I had to make a lot of choices before I even knew how to play the game.
• The battles are really well made !
• Archers seemed very weak, dealing 1-2 damage while enemy one was dealing 10 and could double hit.
• Dealing 0 damage and getting retaliated on, dealing 0 damage to an archer with a melee unit, Archmage dealing 0 damage - all those felt bad.
• I don't really understand what I was doing wrong. Like my rolls are 1-2 if not 0-2 while theirs is 7-22.
• A lot of texts over the units make it hard to read sometimes.
• Gave up that second fight and on to the next one.
• The third one was even harder, the fel orcs rolls were 3 times as high as mine. I must have missed something.

 

[biridius]

I played this today! It's definitely well made

Thanks!

• Dealing 0 damage and getting retaliated on, dealing 0 damage to an archer with a melee unit, Archmage dealing 0 damage - all those felt bad

The 0 damage thing. The night elves have dodge so each unit has a chance to avoid damage once, but it's reset when their turn comes. So you have to gang up on their units one by one, so that even if they dodge one of the attacks, the rest go through.
I may have made this ability a little too strong.

 

[The Nightmare Book]

I played this map and honestly, I didn't knew that making so a close copy of HoMM is possible without any issues in Warcraft 3.
3 stars already for creating specific Warcraft 3 races, not recreating HoMM races - it adds an atmosphere and pleasure for gameplay.

I like this and recommend it to anyone who wants to see how HoMM with a Warcraft personality would look.
