Official map list
Can anyone give me the official map list for HOMM3 and all the expansions (Shadow of death, armageddon's blade and WoG)? Cos my friend installed a map pack and 90% of the maps is total crap so I wanna get rid of em.

Can someone at least give me a link to a map site that has all the official maps? Or is that impossible cos the maps are copyrighted and property of 3DO? Cos i cant stand the poop I have now...
Goddamnit, if you don't have the skill and determination to make an L/XL map make a small one you snowing looser !!!!
Sorry, but my hands are shaking... I'd rip the eyes out of the creators of some of the maps with my bare hands if i had the chance.

I know many more good map sites but i dont want some pile of donkey snow that a 13 year old decided to make up on his easter holidays. I'm tired of amateur crap. I want the normal official maps made by 3DO that come with the CDs n all.

I know what u can do.
save the hiscore file and the contents of the games folder somewhere else in your computer, uninstall HOMM3, delete everything that is left in the maps folder, reinstall it move back the data files. that'll do i think

I only have the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 CD, not the CDs of the expansions so I can't reinstall. I would have done that a long time ago. If anyone has the full HOMM3 with the expansions and hasnt dloaded any maps or maybe just a few, I would like to get a list of the maps they have in their folder. That would be best. But of course noone will want to copy/paste the names of all the maps they have... So I thought that maybe there's an official map pack somewhere out there, but apparently there isn't.
And if there are maps that are better than those made by 3DO, I haven't found any of them yet. The most map sites are polluted with maps made by kids, who thought it would be cool to make a map which would feature their name in the contours, or a map that is made up of 5 square islands, each of different terrain, each containing a castle and full of lvl 4 artifacts scattered all around.

No of course not... I selected to search for XL maps for all H3 versions. Boom, the first one on the list is a map resembling an alien head.
So noone knows where i can find the official maps ?

The alien head map is a creation of Grigor Minchev, one of the most productive mapmaker for the Wake of Gods mod. It has one of the coolest Heroes III minimap I have ever seen.
Try Catch a fairy by Brian Krueper, or Kid Heretic by Charles Watkins (a medium, but it will take you a while to complete it), they certainly beat most CD maps.

Actually, I can provide the original poster with precisely what they asked for!
Go to http://heroes.mycomport.com/cgi-bin/opt/MapHaven/h3/search_maps.cgi?ADVANCED=1
Scroll down the form until you find the bit that says "Map approval status". Uncheck "Approved" and check "Official" instead. Then scroll further down and hit the Search button. You should get back some 158 maps; I think it's an exhaustive list.
By the way, I do sympathise with your frustration over hundreds of pointless maps. That's why AstralWizard, Celestial Heavens, and MapHaven all require maps to be *playtested* - played to completion by someone other than the mapmaker. The vast majority of pointless maps just don't make it through that filter; the mapmakers can't be bothered.
There are still varying qualities of maps, of course. You've seen a few people recommend their personal favourites. When you're downloading maps one by one from Celestial Heavens or MapHaven, you'll find that you can search only for maps with high ratings - that means that other people think they're good maps.
The flip side of this coin is where you can help. Whenever you play a map you've downloaded from Celestial Heavens or MapHaven, it *really* helps if you go back to the website afterwards and submit a rating for that map. From 1 (lousy) to 10 (perfect) - the more votes the better!
