Time of prophecy
Hi - i started this map - but it's obviously something wrong - in the beginning - there should be a skull for Christian - but in my version (HOMM ERA 3.8.2), there is a titan cave ??!! - I downloaded the map from "ERA: 100+ mods available, links and previews" - the actual game date is 06.03.2009 - is it the final version ??? -- THX for helping

I see a titan cave on the map. There is also a message (you should visit this later) so is clearly a titan cave
Anyway, I need to add fixes to codes, as this map isn't anymore compatible with Era 3, which changed the timing of clones, from round 1 to round 2.
Or you can do it yourself, open top.erm (Top/data/s), scroll down then add this code:
;clones tactics fix
!?FU(OnGameEnter);
!!UN:C7462846/4/?i^val_summoningPatch1^;
!!UN:C7462846/4/2/?i^val_summoningPatch2^;
!!UN:C7462846/4/1030525323;
!!UN:C7462846/4/2/1;
!?FU(OnGameLeave);
!!UN:C7462846/4/i^val_summoningPatch1^;
!!UN:C7462846/4/2/i^val_summoningPatch2^;
Save, F12 after reload

i added the code with the editor like you did describe - to top.erm (Top/data/s) - the clones come in the 2nd round - but they only come once - not every round - like the feature is described .... ??!! - thx for helping !!!

Can you upload the save please? IF in Tew4 it worked there is no reason it doesn't work here.

All is fine. There can be 20 stacks ID on each side, so you start with 1-7 sorcs, 8-15 enchanters then 5 sorc clones that will appear each turn.
Get rid as fast as you can of enchanters clones (override the ability with another) and you will have 7 sorc clones every round.
I suggest also to install HD mod which will split your sorcs in equal stacks, so they all have no distance penalty. In your game only 4 stacks have it, because they have different experience levels.
This battle is easy : divide your sorcs in xx,xx,xx,1,1,1,1. Kill halflings on first round and send the single stacks on the other side so werewolfs always remain far away. Repeat every turn. You will lose 4 sorcs (+ clones), thats all.

i didn't know that there can only be 20 stacks - so now it's all right then - loosing the enchanters will enable the clones - very good ;-) - the fight is history ;-) - i'm now in the region bassas... -- this is also a wonderful map - thx for it - it makes much pleasure ....

Look, I worked those last days to make the map compatible with Era3, and then give more visibility to map objects, as this is a very old map where I liked to hide things a lot, which I don't now.
So I finished codes and map redesign, now starting to test, give me 2 days as map is not long. Then I upload and will be 100% playable.
PS: Marius is still hard. Basically what you have to do is cast force field EVERY turn in different location then move behind and wait for morale on the stack still alive. This way you kill the rogues and then proceed to the remaining army. Still you need a lot of damage, if not you will run out of shoots and will be very long relying only on clones.

i'm using force field - but the rogues have so much speed - they arrive me - before i can cast the force field - so it's always a little bit to late to stop them....

Force field lasts 2 turns, so just cast another force field every turn then hide there, until you get morale, repeat.

the fight against Marius was a long one - your hint was the half solution - i had to load a save some days ago - because the ability "fly behind obstacles" was missing - these both things lead to win ...

Hi - i'm now shortly before the final battle - and i must have more speed for the sorceresses - but when i'm entering the emerald towers then the following message appears "Giving more speed to the sorceresses will hurt their delicate feets, enough! " -- my current speed is 25 - i need some more for the fight against Crag Hack - so what shall i do ??? - much thx - again

It means you achieved maximum speed allowed in this map. You are still faster than his phoenixes (granted that your sorcs are prayer and haste enhanced) so thats the way the battle must be done.
This evening version 2.0 will be uploaded, testing now for last time. Many improvements and new stuff. But most important, 100% Era 3 compatible.

Thats because you didn't experiment different splits, and thats all this map is about. Use 3 big stacks, one with higher troops at the bottom to lure rogues so the upper corner is safe for force field. Is a hard and long battle, but 100% doable.
I will upload a video when I am at this battle today.

He is supposed to hire an army from Freelancer guild, army which will travel on map and kill Ignissa next turn.
problem: doesn't work in Era 3 so I removed it for next version.
Sorry, all you can is install trainer then give fly so you can reach last battle. But trainer will cause glitches in Era 3, so give fly, save, disable trainer, reload + F12
