LORDS RESURRECTION
Yes.. that will be the name of this new lords for H3.
Now the first step. All you savvy mapmakers and hardcore map scruitinizers & analysts; I need you to go through the maps, and modify/change them & improve them worthy of a vets play.
Keep the template and theme the same, as you can see not all the maps are supposed to be mirror image maps. And the maps also take note fit into the world map like a real piece of the puzzle.
Motor, Andi, you talk about helping out, I think this role is best reserved for you guys, to be the map modifiers. But ANY vet can help out in this part. So destro, jinxer, titan, etc.... all pitch in.
the link is of course: http://www.toheroes.com/lords/lords.html
I will take care of everything else; once all the map review/modification is done, the tourney can be fired up.
An excuse for everyone to participate, here it is

ok,
if wanted, here is my little volunteering help:
I will care for the standwick area. This map looks very interesting in main design, but surely needs a lot of work to make it playable for a "normal" toh game, and also makes some new strategy ideas possible.
This sub is a good idea, hope also the newbie generation in the zone will get to know it.
This sub together with toh automation can bring h3 back to life. Just assure a run time of 6 months.
If further volunteering is wanted, such as for a H3 HC or Pageupdating and so on im offering some of my rare free time.

PS: Maybe ill update some more area..we will see.

i looked over some maps now, and the design is really good, looking on the graphics and so, but i got a problem:
lets use tatalia as example, the defender (red) has 2 unicorn dwellings, 3 dendros, 2 elves, 2 drags and so on...blue has just a town and about 2 chests more.
Now if i didnt oversee something very important id give blue a 5% chance of winning.
Now we gotta know, how big should the bonus the defender gets be?
everyone feel free to look at that map specially, tatalia, and tell me what u think about it, did i miss something on it that gives blue a chance?

I have a question.
Would all the heroes 3 random players participate in Lords?
Most of those guys won't play made maps. And without the random players activity might be a little low....

Ahh..
I must admit this Lord's Tourney looks quite interesting. I am a random player, but i just may take a shot at this tourney. ALl the maps are basically new and unplayed, right?
That would even things out to start. Although my gaming time is severly limited these days, i may try it.
So, if and when this tourney gets rolling we will see how the activity level is increased, if at all. I think it will increase, but sustaining a higher level of activity may be tough, time will tell..

good
I like how people are hitting the maps now and analyzing them. The maps should be 'generally' balanced, that is blue and red about same level.
I think since the maps are new to almost all players, it shouldnt be a problem even those disenchanted with fixed maps, who play random. This tournament should run for about 6-8 months, so it should have longevity too.
We can give the map analysis/fixing say, about 2 weeks time to get it all done.

I'm a randomer and plan to look at a number of maps this morning as well.. As a randomer, I have no problem playing these maps..
I found alot of random players have an issue with the mirrored aspect of many toh maps, and the formula rather than simply it being premade.. These lords maps are not your run of t mill toh maps for the most part. And could provide some interesting gameplay for fixed map and random players alike.
I do think we should start listing maps we have looked at and updated.. to allow for some time saving.. I'd hate to do one and then have a return email saying "already done thanks anyway"
So maybe as you edit each map or even choose one to begin post.. Started xxxx then later finished xxxx..

I have a question. Should we be removing spells like Fly and DD? Because on this map (Steadwick) the whole premise is the Erathian Guard breaking through to dislodge the Warlocks. If all they have to do is fly over it makes it kinda pointless to have tent masters and the whole works.
