Cowboy halflings?

Huh, I can see that work.

The best thing about HoMM 3 is the editor. The best user made maps are much better than the rather boring campaign and most of the standalone maps.

any cool maps you recommend?

Anyone know what happened to www.heroes3maps.com?

It used to be the best site for downloading HoMM3 maps, since the zip files included the original ReadMe files and both the text files and map file would have the original date.

No idead you could always hit up archive.org if you really like their format, they've got an archive of the site as recent as november of last year. https://web.archive.org/web/20221105184901/http://www.heroes3maps.com/

Unfortunately the search function doesn't work with archive.org.
Oh well, I've already downloaded all the HoMM3 maps I need, so it's not a big loss for me personally. But it is sad that the best download site for older HoMM 3 maps should disappear.

Is HotA still really badly balanced? It's been awhile since I've played it.

Not sure but compared to Vanilla HotA is more balanced. Almost all MP lobby is HotA.

Please do share an archive. Wrote you a dm.

I am yours to command, exalted one.

There is an (old) collection of 3223 maps, which contain the original ReadMe files for those maps that have them.
Use one of these links. I've only checked the ext.to link and that works at least.

The magnet link from that site? There are no seeders.

Something was amiss with my torrent client. Resolved the issue, restarted the client, and the maps downloaded.

Just go to the heroes 3 wog website and you have a collection of maps to download. From a curated amount to 6k+

Welp. Just came back from Paul Anthony Romero quintet concert.

It was amazing.

I have to say though, Polish heroes III community has some kind of brown rice fever. I think I've seen three nerds with viet wives/GFs there.

Vietnam is probably the one sexpat destination where polish money stretches further.

I don't know if this was mentioned here or in another thread, anyway, I want to let you know that there is a very quality source port here: https://vcmi.eu/
With support for mods and many other cool things. It's definitely the best way to play HOMMIII in all its glory.

VCMI? I doubt that

HotA is polished and vanilla-friendly and has a great MP lobby, plus people still find WoG/Era a lot interesting and fun. VCMI is kinda nowhere (a platform with potential but none gave life to it yet)

 

[octavius]

What advantage does VCMI have over the HD Mod?

 

[janior]

multiplayer heroes 3 is a very sad meme
