Part 1 - 07:23:08 - Underground island, bottom right corner of map.

@@guest273 yeah so after the update/patch the green portal on the 7:13 of your stream is protected by a red border guard instead of black.... i still did not find the red one. Is the red key tent hidden just like the black one? or do i have to explore more in the north of the map? I now got a big chunck of the right side of the map explored and no red border guard yet.

i finally found it, i totally missed it....

Map 2 - 05:36:26, you get the Lightning Bolt from the quest giver for the scroll.

@@guest273 thanks for your response, i though only henrietta could learn that spells on map 2, don´t no if it patched later or that i missed it.... Struggling a little with ice bolt on map 4. I am also playing on impossible mode but it´s savage lol. Anyway thanks for your response!

@@MrSientelo Keep strong! I know a person who commented on my Map 8 video writing that he's done the Campaign on 200% difficulty after the 1.7.1 update. So I'm sure you can too! :)

@@guest273 thanks for the trust ;) currently struggling with the hero Loke who is frost ring 75% of my army to oblivion so i am going to watch now how you did this one... Maybe i am going to do a reply because i also have the feeling i lost to much genies already in the early (maybe lost 10 but every creature you lose seems like an huge lose on this map)

Yes, they changed the maps a lot between 1.7.0 and 1.7.1. Do you have a screenshot / detailed description of the hero? Does he have Serpent Flies or Dragon Flies? What strategies have you tried to beat him? How early do you have to fight him? I think Forcefielding a 1-hex unit + spell spamming might beat him if he has no Dispel.

I just sacrificed 2 weak stacks goblins and harpies and continued. Yes, it’s the one with serpent flies. At this point they always attack first.

This fight is before you enter underground, on the way to it, where the lamp that hires genies lays

your see the portals on 8 hours and 11 minuts in your stream

@@MrSientelo I don't remember. I think that part of the map was meant for the AI players, to make their heroes come out at a certain date. If you can Water Walk there, then maybe, but to me it looks like the island is blocked off on all sides.

@@guest273 thanks a lot for your reply, appreciated

I'm thinking about Limes 160% when I 'git gud' and beat all the regular single scenario maps first! :D I need to learn some new tricks first!

@@guest273 Regular scenarios are too easy for you. You won't learn new tricks from them. Limes 100% would be better ;)

@@sprocket73 Guest273 is back and winning map after map-Let's leave it that way :)

Sometimes when you cook too hard you end up burning the stew...

Conspiracy theories became everyday realities. That's how.

I am your best viewer :)

_Bruh._ I can see where this is going. I will eventually be bullied down to playing 80%... 😭😭😭

@@guest273 My Tester won Limes at 130% without saving or repeating battles. Like in a PvP game. And he said that the game was fun. I succeeded the same at 100%. So believe me, a normal game at 130%, with unsaving and battle optimization will be for sure doable for you.

Yeah, finding this 2-3 months late was definitely a pretty big lose condition.

*_What!?_* 👀

8:33:00 OK, you checked, probably by accident xD But Town Portal? Be serious ;) By the way all secrets are mentioned in the tavern gossip.

@@sprocket73 I really felt like at this time I was missing some important tool in my heroes toolbox.

7:21:25 Well... Solmyr didn't achieve much ;)

What's the chance that I cleared out the elementals the same turn as they're arriving? xD

@@guest273 You can move their visit a bit. Even on the stream you can see that if unsaved the day before, they come out later and in a different order. You can bait them. You are more intelligent ;)

Budziol Brothers are coming. 342 is the typical time of their visit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not true. They come absolutely randomly. As far as I understand in haloneya's playthrough they came at the beginning of the 5th month. In my case it happened at 3/1/3! At this point I was just breaking through the red garrison (blue player was already destroyed) and wanted to go finish off the red ones. But Budziol with his 55-level logistics caught up with my Tazar in a few days. It's impossible to defeat him at this stage - I have not enough army yet. After that he and the other brown players are taking over all my territory in 1,5-2 weeks. And in this case you have "0" chance to pass the map. Honestly, it's a really bad idea to set timing of enemy attacks using the guards which blocking passage. In these cases there's too much random in the AI behavior. If you are lucky your playthrough will be much easier. In not - the map may become technically unpassable. Usually if you want enemies to attack at a certain moment it is done with quest guards. For example you need enemies to attack at 3/4/2. Place a quest guard in front of the monolith which allow to pass for 1000000 gems or for 1 silver pegasus or the other stuffs like that. Then just set the event for brown player which gives him 1000000 gems at 3/4/2 or event which upgrade enchanted spring at 3/4/2 ect. There may be many options. * the comment with the link to the screenshot was apparently deleted, so I repeated it without link.

@@scarsofreality4716 You're overreacting a bit, but I took your opinion into consideration. The beginning of the third month is way too early. You were very unlucky. In the latest version of the map Budziols will come no earlier than in the 4th month. A new map record was set recently (10-1-6). So I've made some balance changes. The new version was released today - LIMES INFERIOR (HotA ver.2024). You can find it on Polish portal: AKADEMIA WOJNY. Now feel obligated to play it ;)

Q_Q I wonder if it's possible for one of the AI's to snatch it before you do.

@@guest273 Don't worry, the Grail is for human players only.

@@sprocket73 How sweet.

This, at least timing wise feels right about where my playthrough 'went wrong'.

*:(* I didn't finish editing the 1st part, because I wanted more time to play the 2nd one. That's my mistake to be fair.

_That's such a strange detail._

That is one of the most bizarre things I've seen in Heroes 3. And I've seen AI casting Blind on a Clone, Teleporting their Archers to melee hit a dragon for breath attack, Teleporting their clone to take a retaliation & a few other wild ones.

Okay now that I see it - everything was fine and I ruined it. :(

2:57:50 Nice fight ;) Leadership is very OK, but all slots are occupied and you has no offense ;) Offense is must have.

This information would have been really good to know before playing the map. :P I mean with Wisdom you do get Chain Lightning, but I don't think it's worth it. Also Derek is usually disabled in maps with Water in favor for Elmore. You can get both of them in the Tavern. Since I didn't download this map from maps4heroes.com I didn't see the map preview and had no idea if it has any Water, but I assumed that it doesn't just based on what I had already found before.

@@guest273 There is a lot of information that would make the game easier if known in advance. My intention was to create a map that cannot be played in a standard way. I admit, I use a lot of bait. For example Boots, the information that they are only available as a bonus makes them usually chosen, and in fact it's the worst option.

Ay ay ay. Mister mapmaker with his "It's possible to get the first town on 200% with any starting bonus". :P

To be fair mister mapmaker - I'd like to see you beat your own map. :P What was the streamers name who beat it on 200%? I really want to check his first 30 minutes of gameplay on this map and compare with mine.

@@guest273 Yes, it's possible to get the first town at 200% with any starting bonus. It is true. Even I can do it :)

@@guest273 I won Limes at 160% and I think that's enough for me :) Haloneya won at 200%. Try search for a phrase "challenge map: limes inferior: hota 200%: part 1"

01:20:32 - *Yo what the heck!?* _Game!?_ Give them back now!!!1!

Yup, I have heard of this change in difficulty. One commenter, not sure if here (in the comment section of one of my videos) or on Reddit wrote how he beat this map in 1.7.1 on 200%. Basically his strategy was not defeating the easy heroes, but outgrowing their army, so they wouldn't attack your heroes. Not sure if he defeated Morton, I think he did. Then you can hold 3 or 4 of the 5 towns and eventually generate a big enough army to beat all the 'main objectives' with the secondary AI heroes still roaming around. This works because the AI can only have a limited amount of heroes at a time.

@@guest273 After testing this map for an extensive amount of time, that seems to be the only reasonable explanation. On my first playthrough, I was defeating enemy heroes as soon as they got out of the gates and I was constantly getting invaded. By month 4, I got attacked by a guy who is doing 30k damage with lvl 1 or 2 spells, it's impossible to defeat. I almost managed to do defeat him by using force field but when he was left with Juggernauts only, he teleported Juggernaut to the force field and used laser. Maybe it's possible to defeat at that time but stronger heroes are coming after him, there are 6 more. I turned on cheats and observed AI, he starts sending heroes after some time(2 at first and then 3), after you defeat 1 of them, he just frees another from prison and sends them. It's such a shitty design, it's not explained anywhere, lore wise or something like that, if you play like a normal person and defend/fight them, you will get overwhelmed. Tomorrow I will try to get 2 heroes, stack them with good armies and block their gates. I really enjoyed this campaign, it's hard and fun but this map is really bullshit.

And it sucks cause I spent hours fighting strong heroes without losing any units with res + mind control, literally wasted 10 hours
