    Ahoj,
    tak jsem si zkusil několik map, ale obvykle narazím na neskutečně silného soupeře.
    Naposled to byla mapa Gelu Necromancer. Po drtivé porážce jsem se na mapu podíval v editoru a ouha: Gelu má na začátku jednoho ostrostřelce a základní schopnosti 4-4-2-2, soupeři startují např. 44-44-44-44 a 75 Azurových draků a přes 8000 golemů, další 55-55-55-55 a 8000 pit lordů, další má “jenom” 22-22-11-11 , ale 3000 archandělů.
    Je možné takovou mapu vůbec úspěšně (bez cheatů) dokončit? A pokud ano, jak?
    Díky za rady.

      Nazdar, Myllan, tak v tomto ti vôbec nebudem vedieť pomôcť. Skús pozrieť na stránku mapy a popýtať sa: https://www.maps4heroes.com/forum/opinions.php?map_id=1292&game=3

        Nakonec se mi to povedlo:)
        Dříve jsem vylézal zbytečně brzy na povrch; je třeba nejprve projít celé podzemí, pak už soupeř není tak hrozný:)

            To mě nenapadlo:(
            Gelu byl na konci slušné monstrum (Level 61, 86-82-68-72), v armádě 51 Archandělů, 12k ostrostřelců a asi 64k Power lichů:)

    The first thing I was looking here was Angelic Pride but I couldn’t find it. Perhaps the reason is the other server hosting the map. For me #1 ever.

        Here you go: http://www.heroes3maps.com/map/91-angelic-pride-eps-iv-v-vi

        There was also Devilish and Titanic Pride but Angelic is the best. This is the only map I know where all the messages and boards inside the game contain important information and clue/hints how to move forward.

    You should add War of the 7 Realms. It is fun and somewhat challenging. Map link: https://www.maps4heroes.com/forum/opinions.php?map_id=1756&game=3
    Also consider – the empire of the world/the empire of the world 2/to kill for power/lord of the rings 4.0

    All maps from Valery, most of Kingslayer and Maygwan are epic. Also, Thimoty Duncan used to make good maps but he seems long gone with Heroes.
