The School - Brian Kelley (Melizod)
It is rarely that I find an intriguing map but the school is a piece of art. A single map that goes beyond the conventional maps, campaign style where all factions fight each other in an all-out-war.
Here is the description:
Map Type: Singleplayer 1 Human 5 Computer
Map Size: Medium
Game Version: HOMM5 Standard v1.5(but still plays for TotE)
Language: English
Special Win: NONE
Special Loss: NONE
Special Other: This map is made with the intention of being played many times without becoming boring. Even a very experienced Heroes 5 player will find many new surprises here. I have used extensive scripting and placed many 'special' effects, objects, buildings, etc. Whatever player you choose you will find many new opportunities to create wealth or recruit creatures. The Academy player is intended to be the main character originally so I would suggest playing the blue (academy) player first. However, you will eventually want to play all player perspectives. I hope you enjoy this map as much as I have. This was also a learning experience for me on scripting, and many good ideas can be learned from disecting this map's script.
Description: All out War between all the races. Play the academy to control the School, or any of the 5 other races, and go for total domination. Extensive scripting and lots of surprises, even experienced H5 players will not be bored.
Additional Info: Computer boost feature now adjusts depending on difficulty level chosen by the player (Hard and Heroic are very difficult) Also you can cloose to have the AI put priority on chasing you down.) player is asked at beginning whether to enable these two features. This allows even more of a challenge for experienced players if desired.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I played it for a while and indeed it has some interesting scripts. In the beginning you can choose if the opponents will focus on you or if you want them to get a boost. Text boxes are there, some units respawn(as the gremlins in the gremlin gardel lol  ), when the wizard levels up he can train more mages meaning that mages join him automatically and other interesting surprises. I don't know what bonuses the other races get but this is going to be interesting.
The map gives the impression of a school when chaos has broken loose which is another thumbs up for the author. I only played for a few rounds so I'm sure there are many more things to see 
I recommend that you give it a shot and then post impressions 
Special thanks to Melizod for creating and Bonzer for bringing it to my awareness

lead. Don't walk in front of me;
I may not follow. Just walk
beside me and be my friend.

I's quite easy to be completed with sylvan in ToTE. I posted some replays from it some time ago.
I wish it was updated with Fortress and Barbarian faction

A question then. There was some talk about finding Sylanna's cloak and returning it to the druids but I have forgotten a few things What should I do once I find the cloak?

interesting map!elvin
maybe it is better to call this map BK-school because there is already a map named the school in TOTE.
I play the academy faction.the golem factory is interesting and professor Graves is greats
only it will take some time to wait for the AIs' action.
