WOG extra large map uploaded
Hi folks. The Empire of the World III is over. Thanks to everyone who answered my bilion questions. I tested myself the map and there are no bugs. However, to post it to Celestial Heavens, so you can rate/download, I need testers comments for sure. Please take a look and tell me what you think
Special Win: [Aquire artefact]
Special Loss: [Time limit]
Narrative: "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
Download
INSTALL: all files go in maps directory. Except HeroesCharacters.exe which goes in Data
Beware, map is complex and long to complete. Requires high concentration and attention.

Thank you ByteBandit. It is because people like you and Q Dragon, Vlaad and others that HoMM 3 gets a new life. If you know a good scripter who can find why script44erm conflicts , it would be wonderful. Not many people know how to disable it...

They are very strong. But when AI attacks from darkness with 2100 ghost behemots immune to anything, are they still strong? People like feeling GOD. Thats why most of the actual WOG maps ends in a celebration of the human player. Features as the emerald tower, enhanced skills, warfare, immunities leads to overpowered maps. Where, at the end, there is no more challenge. I think this will not happen in "The Empire of the World III". You have ALL you want, but still AI will give a big threat.
Last pic for Vlaad, he will be the only one to understand

I like the kind of work you've done here Salamandre. And I see no reason why you should'nt be able to get testers to complete what you need to load it up on RT.
That being said, I am slowly getting another team together to perhaps do another project like I recently did with Sandro. It won't be right away. I'm still recovering from the recent campaign I was part of, and so are Koni and Muszka. And I have to assume you may want to also.
Hear me out. The team I would like to assemble for the next project are, of course, Muszka and Koni. I would also like RDeford to join in to do an H5 map this time. He seems interested. He'll do the map and I'll do the story. Muszka and Koni will do the H4 maps. If you are interested in doing a WoG map for this, you'll have first take. If not, I'll understand completely. I will probaly ask UndeadHalfOrc or Corelagon to do the H2 map. I'll do the H1 and H3 map.
So far, all people I would like to assemble are busy or resting, so it would'nt be like right now. It would'nt be a real long way down the road either. I'm putting a story together now.
And forgive me for getting off the topic of a great work like this.
PEOPLE! Test this map. Show Salamandre some love and let him get this map posted officially. We'll all benefit from it.

I would like it, the problem is that ALL I know about WOG were put in "The Empire". There is nothing left. If I start another map, I will have to study the ERM more. You woudnt like have a remake, would you?

I think a combination of what you did and what I did would be sufficient, or something in between. I would leave it up to you. You would be doing the map, so that's only fair. First, I would send you the story idea, when everything and everyone falls into place, then you could put it to map. The way you envision it. Of course, you would have a lot of eyeballs on it from the team for fixes and such. But, I think what you have for Empires III would be fine if that's what you would like to use.
Muszka has never made a map before, but if you've played the Sandro Campaign, he's the one who made every map challenging. He feels like a mapmaker now, and I'm confident he will do a great H4 map.
Hopefully in about a month the team can be assembled. This should give eveyone some ideas how they want to create their map.
I expect this project to be even bigger than the Sandro one.
Again, no disrespect for taking anything away from your post.

Since I have Acid Dragon's patch installed on my WoG, the Hoplites are his improved version of medusa queens.
I don't know if that's the reason why I'm stucked as soon as I have to fight a swarm of Wolf Raiders.
That's a shame, cause I don't manage to get a nex clean WoG version because of that brand (too) new Vista...
I really want to test this map. You create stuff and decoration the way I like, and so few maps are as beautiful as yours.
No speaking about your ERM scripts I can't try 
My own maps are sleeping because I don't have time to learn ERM right now and last time I tried, I went crazy because I didn't manage to do what I wanted.
Good work anyway. Nice to see some talented people who finish the things they begin.

This map looks as the most overpowered work ever, that is what is exactly waht I enjoy. What a pity such a gampelay is not supported by H5 
EDIT: Am I different, or it's impossible to reach Gremlin's Workshop?

I give up, can't find them.
Maybe that's because of some script error recurring quite often?

The quest gate says: "I saw some gremlins around, it seems they went to the market". And there are 2 markets around. behind one there are the gremlins in a BASIC event. The "conscript" quest says: "my brother went to the library, but he is always drunk after that, so he might better be at the tavern"= look at the tavern. If people want map where workshop is placed near a gremlin quest, then look elsewhere.
In MY map everything is customized, events, quest gates, seer's huts. The "key ENTER as fast as some message popping" thing is not available here. Sorry
