@Fred:
You are right, I am enjoying a lot during mapmaking, but only when I have inspiration 
XXL map requires enormous amount of creativity, new ideas, new tricks, new objects to be filled in interesting way.
And that process is such long, that I changed my mapmakins style several times while map is growing.
In this moment I do not create my own patch, I use one of old version of your like a base for adding new objects.
Think you are talking about that green mountains near jungle. Yes, think that they could be sharper.
Tell me how and I will send to you my folder with this mountains.
Sphere near them, and bowl below is one object. It would be look really nice if somehow shape could rotate in 3D

create a mediafire account. it's still free, as far as i know. add your defs into either a .rar(winrar), or .zip(winzip) file, then upload them to mediafire. when you do, you'll be given the option to share it. just post that link here, and walah.

It's with shame I have to say that it's been months I didn't work on my map, spending all of my free time (and even some of my sleeping time) on latest JVC game, but when I see such inspiring work it gives some of the motivation back.
Very much looking forward to play this map.

@ doc(department of corrections?): sorry it took so long, i slept most of the day today.
here is the 1st frame of the sphere object. i plan on animating it so that the sphere bobs and waves, as i wasn't fond of the initial animation. i sharpened and spot-fixed the base, and spot-fixed the sphere itself. let me know what you think:
now, as for the mountains, i worked on the 1st one, and ran into an issue that will pop up with the others, as well. upon sharpening it and cutting unneeded pixels, i found that the green areas of the mountains' pixels are off. as you can see, if they are to be usable in an improved state, the green areas will have to be reskinned(the rock itself looks to be usable):
i can find a better texture for you if you want, and try to match it as close to the hue and shade of the green on the mountains now. just let me know what you think, before i continue.

as i already said - i would like to have that sphere rotating in 3D.
suppose it's pretty demanding to realize.
and you are welcome to do anything you wish, i don't own it
regarding off of pixel ( i like to ply with my bad English) i noticed one strange thing that happens to me several times while i was editing some pictures and making def.
somehow on final def picture i had some pixel missing (instead of colored pixel i got white ones).
don't know why.
i like that necked stone part of mountain.
EDIT:
few more pics from big map
one necro landscape
this part of map is dedicated to WoG.
both of this two landscapes are animated. you can watch them here:

i don't work with 3d programs yet, so i can't rotate the sphere horizontally(or create one that will).

I can do that for you, just say what texture and how many frames.

I saw that picture. It was some kind trigger for me to go further in exploration of mapmaking possibilities.
Here I, even, put similar guard in front of castle's gate...archers on towers, too.

thank you Lizard Warrior.
and about your question - I am not sure.
all my experience in animation are that small animated movements i made for HoMM3 maps.
usually i use 4-5 pictures for gift kind of animation.
sphere rotation should be medium slow (that's most preciously i can say about it), with slightly changing of rotating direction.
and about texture, I am not sure that I understood issue.
sphere should looks like stone made.
if you have any of your own ideas - go ahead.
I am here for all your questions

I'm not that good at matching heroes 3 lighting, so I opted for photo-realism  I also added a height-map so it's not a perfect sphere

nice idea, man!
Lovecraft was master of metaphysics horor.
think that incorporation of his works in HoMM3 map requires a lot of work on landscapes, objects, creatures.
for Lovecraft's world necromancer's land looks pretty and sweet

rotating speed is a little bit too high.
can you keep sphere's original pattern?
if you could accomplish that two, think you have answer on my task.

i'm seriously considering making a lovecraft faction instead of a fear faction. in fact, it's almost certain. once i start playing around with 3d(during and after college), i can see myself working on lovecraftian monsters and architecture. it's something i'm really into(of all the vast array of monsters and evil architecture everywhere, nothing comes close to those of the lovecraftian persuasion). also, i added another r'lyeh spire(which i'm still tweaking to get just right), after collecting more material on the 'net yesterday.

i forgot to mention this before: if anyone wants to keep tabs on my ongoing work, they can find it at DeviantArt.
edit: i'm not able to see any screens without logging in; so you most likely will have to create an account there. there are other modders there, if anyone needs persuasion(orzie, axolotl, nephretes, and bes[erker], to name a few).

i may or may not decide to make a Fear faction after i make a lovecraft-based faction. until then, that material won't be released. but like i said, you can reach me at DeviantArt. my ongoing work/news will be posted there. i have 2 new screens up, and some journal entries thus far.
