Three new WoG maps
I've finished two completely new maps for WoG 3.58f and significantly updated one of my recent scenarios:
Seven Circles: The undead have discovered a magic scroll that reveals the existance of Seven Circles of ultimate knowledge. Solve the ancient riddle before the angels and humans banish you from these lands. (small, singleplayer, story, Necropolis)
--------------------------------------------------------
Clan Wars: Clan wars have begun! According to the rules of this ancient contest,your clan must find the Grail and take it to the underground Dungeon. Alas, the King is tired of your petty wars and has come to the north to end the conflict himself.
(medium, singleplayer, random; Additional Info: In this map you can play with commanders as creatures. IMPORTANT: Unpack ALL files from the zip file to your Maps folder!!!)
--------------------------------------------------------
Underdogs - This is a strange tale of six unique underdogs who must join their forces in order to defeat uberhero Gelu, who has built the fortress of New Avlee and invaded these peaceful lands.
Each of them must make the best of their unique specialties:
Albus - upgrades Giants and Titans to Lords of Thunder
Melissa - upgrades Monks and Mages to Enchanters
Igor - master of Haflings and Estates
Boris - master of Sylvan Centaurs
Nagash - master of Ghosts
Raven - master of Rogues and Espionage
(large, singleplayer, Castle; Additional Info: This is version 1.4! Versions 1.0 - 1.2 have been sent to several people for testing. Version 1.3 entered MapHaven's 2004 contest. Due to the deadline, it was rushed. I changed some locations and monsters, mostly to make the scenario more difficult. )
--------------------------------------------------------
I would appreciate ANY feedback; if you have time to test these maps, please post your opinion in this thread.
Here's the link to the MapHaven page:
DOWNLOAD
There you can also find my 2003 maps:
Gelu's Legacy(XL)
Gelu's Legacy 2: The Rise of Nagash(XL)
War in Middle-earth(XL)
Europe B.C. (XL)

I am so sorry! I thought it was made by a guy named Kallen, so I wrote his name in the credits. I will change this in the first update!

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.
In his private e-mail (don't do that often because I rarely check it out ), Haregar has told me that "Seven Circles" play like Warcraft III. I couldn't describe it better myself! After a while, you are constantly attacked by AI - it's not easy to survive the rush, but if you manage to do it, you become much stronger and able to win the scenario.
In addition, there is "time expires" loss condition just to make things more intense, but do not worry - you'll have enough time to finish the map.
On the other hand, I can't beat my own scenario on difficulty higher than 100%... Then again, I'm not much of a player.
Finally, here are some pictures for those who haven't downloaded the maps yet:

I have seen those commanders in one save from one map (I don't have it... I enjoyed this. But in what map ghosts can be recruit? I enjoyed new creatures, dwelings and other news in wog in your map.

Some guys in a Chinese WOG forum also made two excellent maps,one named Mars and the other CHASER.
Maybe they're as good as Vlaad's.

I've always wanted to get some good Chinese maps! I understand they have a great fandom, but their sites are rarely in English so it's really hard to find anything.

The cards look OK, but I had problems with their maps: one cannot load, one is a typical picture map and one is several MBs large...?!

Vlaad was kind enough to send the updated versions of his maps to the WoG Map Archives. These will be his last updates for these maps. They look pretty good too.
Also we have several Chinese maps up as well. 2 different versions of Chaser are available at:

Enjoy!

There were some comments posted at JB site (before it went down ), but they are all in Polish. Are there Polish fans here who would be so kind to translate the text?
Quote: * Clan Wars Zawiera miły dla nas akcent jaskiniowy, gdyż zostały w mapie wykorzystane cztery obrazki z Galerii Marzeń thanx Vlaad for your support!). Gracze, którzy są przyzwyczajeni do standartowej taktyki: rozwijaj miasta, zbieraj potężne armie będą zagubieni, gdyż na planszy tej nie uświadczymy żadnego miasta, a każdy zarobiony pieniądz musimy przeznaczyć na zakup potworów w siedliskach zewnętrznych. Brzmi to może tak sobie, ale w rzeczywistości rozgrywka jest miodna. W cztery miesiące musimy rozprawić się z naprawdę poteżnymi armiami. Pikanterii dodaje mnóstwo skryptów napisanych specjalnie dla tej planszy, szczególnie ten, który zamienia Dowódców w normalne stworzenia (zdobywające doświadczenia tak jak inne kreatury!). I co ważne - sposób prowadzenia rozgrywki silnie zależy od wyboru bohatera przy starcie mapy. Tak więc aż chce się przejść planszę czerokrotnie! Mistrzostwo świata!
* Seven Circles Malutka mapa, zaledwie S-ka. Musimy w niej rozwiązać siedmioczęściową starożytną zagadkę. Oraz pokonać 343 Archanioły, aby dostać się do naszego wroga. Też mamy na to 4 miesiące... Ale uzbierać taką armię na S-ce? Jak to mówią amerykany: ERM galore!
* Underdogs Przychodzi mi na myśl jedna fraza: szalona mapa. Znów cztery miesiące szlachtowania na M-ce. Zaczynamy z sześcioma bohaterami oraz czterema wioskami, w których niewiele można wybudować. Zresztą i tak nie ma za bardzo za co. Więc trzeba sobie radzić. Bohaterowie są szczególni i mają niespotykane specjalizacje. Dla przykładu: Albus potrafi ulepszać Tytanów i Gigantów do Gromowładnych, a Boris spejalizuje się w Sylwańskich Centaurach (reszta w dołączonym pliku txt). Zresztą, niespotykane na tej mapie jest... wszystko. Nigdy nie wiadomo czy obiekt, stworzenie jest tym czym dobrze znamy w innych wersji Heroes, czy na sprawą ERM objawi swoje udziwnione oblicze. A wrót potężny, oj poteżny! W osobie ukochanego przez wszystkich Gelu. Mapa mnie pokonała. Czym bardziej więc ją Wam polecam. Będzie można o czym gadać...
Vlaad ponadto przesłał przejrzane i poprawione wersje map, których wcześniejsze wersje są dostępne w Krypcie Map.

Just a reminder Vlaad, if you have'nt been over to JB lately, it's back up and running now. I have the link in one of the Archive sites now. I would'nt put it up until it started working again. After all, what good is a link if it does'nt work? :-)

It's great to know! It's one of my favorite sites EVER! I even hoped to learn basic Polish, but no time in real life.
The Crypt hasn't been updated lately, has it?
Steve, your Archive is looking better and better every day.
I have a question... I have found another map of mine! It's an XL MP/SP called "Europe B.C.". All my testers said it was unbalanced and easy (vs AI), but kinda fun. What do you think - should I submit it?

I have Europe B.C up on the WoG Archive now. If you want to rebalance it, that would be fine. I have every map you've done, so you don't have to worry about submitting it.
You could rebalance it if you have or get the time.
And thanks for the Archive review. Pol has been coming up with idea after idea to keep the Archives fresh. We both believe that even after H5 comes out, there will still be WoG players everywhere. WoG has too many options in it to always keep it fresh.

Well, every map you've released for WoG and the maps you sent me personally a long time back. I don't have your H4 maps because I don't have H4.

What I meant was you don't have my early attempts at mapmaking. Fortunately, I decided those were not good enough and never released them.
By the way, I have only one H4 map anyway.
