Poll Question:
Map conversion H3-->H4(poll)
In Masters of the Feather I made a post about this, but almost no-one goes there, so I guess I'll create a poll here:

Well, if you're talking manually, it'd be a long job.
If you're talking some sort of conversion utility, it'd be a very tough if not impossible job to develop.
A few of the technical obstacles:
6 town types vs 9, and three of those towns don't exist any more in any form (Fortress, Conflux, Inferno)
Incompatible creature types
Scripts vs events
Different map objects (may not exist in H4)
and so on
Now,I can conceive of maybe being able to roughly port the terrain over, but the whole map? Doubtful, unless it's a real simple one. Just too dern big a programming job.
It's a lovely dream, but so is Shania Twain wearing nothing but a red silk ribbon for my birthday, and I'm afraid that one would be more likely to come true.
However, as wishes for HOMM go, it's one of the best ones I've seen yet. :: sigh :: It really would be nice

Yes...
I know it's difficult to build...
But I'm a software-tester, and at the moment I'm testing a conversion tool for our software. So, suddenly it hit me: Why not have a conversion tool for H3-->H4...

Hmm, after playing HoMM4 for a couple of months now, I'd thought to bring this poll up again.
