My recommendations for great maps are Element Land > Purgatory > Crapcore. All found at m4h. All big inspirations for me.

Yes, these are among my favorite maps too. I love all three of them.

I like the concept of rewarding hard work, thats why I play only wog maps where higher the difficulty is, more enjoyable features you unlock.
Not many games do that, I dislike when the hardest setup is only about additional suffering having as sole award abstract and worthless goals like "higher score".

I like chaos and asymmetry, maps that aren't too predictable and encourage random exploration.
Brilliant maps for my personal taste adhere to that principle, while also being challenging in some way. WoG is really good at making the whole exploration thing more interesting.
Lately I liked restricting myself to a few factions and terrains in my maps. Currently I am working on my second size G map and it will only feature two different factions. I hope this will give the map a somewhat unique dynamic. One thing I am still struggling with is making these huge, open world maps properly challenging.

Ok a few posters replied.. I think this thread isn't interesting or HC mapmakers don't care any.. I waited for Phoenix4ever shows his maps, for example.. Maybe barrier
Ok my maps are good enough, I know better myself..
WoG/ERA
Cryptic Random
Ready!
When some map is modded, 10SS no longer, bug, needed updates, bad made, etc I lost them, I planned to remove maps from m4h, some maps can't update, thus over 10SS purpose or not the same map.. Later on you see the best or decent and good maps stayed at m4h.. It belonged Cryptic Random abd Ready!
SoD
In The land of Nod
Moth Song
I played most them.. And both maps are a very older than I joined HC.. So I made slowly, I catched sweet graphics.. When I joined HC, and I don't catch so sweet maps or working in the few months..
3.58f
Remote Mountain
..also aged map, but maybe HC time..

I like Battle on the seven seas map. it is for 8 players.
"An asymmetric multiplayer map that consists mostly of land, though seafaring is crucial as well. Each faction has territory that suits its game style best, weaker factions' territories are slightly better.

Actually this is one of the most interesting threads. I am waiting for @BloodSucker to show his maps.

Hey there!
Nice thread! @Ghost thanks for creating it and @Orc thanks for showing it to me.
Hm I guess my favourite maps are "A Viking We Shall Go!", "Myth and Legends" and "Warlords", but in the end I always loved to create maps on my own, that's why nowadays I mostly play/test the maps I'm making (which may take a while, considering that thankfully we have much bigger maps now).
Right now I'm working on a G map of Europe and parts of northern Africa and the Middle East (I just love to create maps from real places, sometime you can fill them more realistically, sometime I just use the coastlines). Parts of the underground level I use as extension of the surface level (this way I could have the whole mediterranean sea rebuilt and zoomed in on the Alps, to make the passing a bit more difficult).
The moment I find out how to post pics, I can show you, it's says more than a thousand words.
I also did some smaller and rather fast maps, where you don't have to conquer the enemies town, but achieve some goals on neutral grounds (hoarding gold, fighting for resources, trying to conque a neutral town in the middle etc.), but the one I like the most is a remake of HoMM1 Dragonpass, which I simply loved back then.
Creating maps is just so much fun!
Am I assuming correctly that the "Battle of the Seven Seas" is a remake of the HoMM2 map "Seven Seas"?

There are many good maps i've playe, the community really creates treasures.
if we're looking to the standard package, I have a soft spot for All For One.
I have the utmost respect for the people creating the lengthy maps that requires you to know all the mechanics for the game and create ''puzzles''. Alas, i'm too casual for them and they're not really my taste.
As for myself, I'm not a good map creator. I mostly create maps so I can enjoy them with a friend that require working together in someway.
The only map I am a bit proud of is ''Castle Dracula'', little bit based on the castlevania series.

I want to find those buried treasures. Maybe there has been some good discussions about fav. maps in the past that I have not looked into?
I refuse to blv no one discussed this in detail before (I only found 3 threads and they didnt exceed 2 pages each)
