Then played MoE and MoS...
So how were your results with them?
well I didnt know map when I played MoD and then MoE so I wasnt as fast, I got to Rissa with MoE by about month 5 I think, I dont have the saves anymore.
Then I played MoS Tevez-style and I got to Rissa Month 3 Week2 without much difficulty, of course I used a lot of his tactics and I improvised here and there for efficiency. Then I got to around the cave of dragons and I started wondering how overpowered the game would get if I would play a faction with a ridiculous att/def/dmg/health cap like barons and max them up early in the game.
So I searched about the admiral hat bug, and then it went from there bit by bit.
It was a long journey to get everything organized and play the map such that Jaegar would be beat by m1 week 4 day 4- remeber that was the fourth time I was playing month 1 again, and it still took me about 2 months to perfect it to that point, to give you an idea, I had to reset map until Rion got Nav/Scholar at level 2, and there was points where Commodus had just enough movement points to buy army before week reset (so I got really lucky in a sense).
Biggest boosters came from Cave of Gods in M1W2D6 (14 devils for free! with only 4 lost), and Town portal very early too, so I save a lot of time.
I will post more to those interested when I get time.
So far at Lorelei after I got the combo, no surprises at Miranda and Synca both dead within 20 turns, I could buy more devils at Lorelei with those resources but army is strong enough already after 3 days of cornucopia boost

Keep in Mind I used Magic Shop to buy around 1000 devils so I lost about 100 primary stats each (about 400 total).

Very fun map, but at the same time consuming, thanks for the fun Valery, et bonne chance with your next one.
Only way this map was possible under current conditions was the MoD faction and the admiral hat bug, but some fights remained hard and very long ie Damacon, Jaegar, Zydar, Gundula (w/o quicksand), and of course Mirlanda with the clones.
I will upload all Screens and MoD saves shortly.

Thanks for feedback, actually the next one was an old one, which was updated, tew3. Play it one day if time, it is harder than 4.
It calls you cheater because you got a negative time on high scores screen. 2 months divided by 3 wasn't expected.

Part Four:

NOTE: Some of the saves like the Dragon Cave ones (over 300 saves) have been removed to save space so I only posted the one before Ignatius(in end of Part1) and the one after Shiva(beginning of Part2) but the stat difference was so great the bosses in between were almost one hit. There are still images uploaded for all those bosses.
I dont have the time now so I will post the older July and August Test Saves only if ppl are interested.
Enjoy! Im off to the beach now

This is amazing, but also scary how much you can break very difficult and balanced game if you have time and skills

How can you fight such battles as this ? I mean, you have around 50 HB, and the enemy has such huge armies. The damage dealt... how can it be sufficient ? Or have to wait 100s of rounds 
Also, I get really stuck at the guy with Darkness dragons and Ghost behemoths. I actually took advantage of the terrain and try to "hide" AD in a single hex. Still, the Ghost behe is really too much ), they r*pe AD really hard. Up to that point I have clone, implosion (of course early ones e.g att & return, immune...)
Played some time ago so I'm thinking of restart it, but have to clear things up before hand

HB's are twice stronger than AD's + all stats are parameterizable with time, so quantities do not matter.

I restart with MOW faction and currently get to Jaegar. Is there something wrong because he keeps casting Implosion on ADs and create huge loss to me. Of course I have resurrection, but his implosion deals more damage than I can resurr (he kills 8, I resurr 4 each time -> die really fast)
Please help :|

The reason of AI casting implosion is that AI chooses to cast it.
There are variants of spell tactic you can use to occupy AI with other spells he chooses to cast!
But I believe its a mastery in Heroes to know what spell tactic you should use to prevent AI's cast that you find very harmfull.Mostly you have to try different spell chains until you find one spell chain that suits the battle.
I would periphraze Salamandre instead of searching the very quote:
When Sal shows a picture of a battle,that previously was very hard for players,then players use the tactic in the picture and suddenly the battle seem very easy and players are complaining again-this time for the easiness.

Thanks, taking a short while of break, therefore forget this 
Also, just one more question regarding Gerwulf: his sharpshooters are immune to forgetfulness, so which tactics should I use ?
