*** Laelth's New Map: ZmineZ ***
Announcing my latest map, ZmineZ. Ultimately, this is an interactive, de-randomized variant map that uses the same, basic code as Bizarro. The layout is randomized in ZmineZ as well, but I've eliminated many of the factors that make Bizarro, by comparison, such a game of chance. Here's a look at the mini-map:
Here's part of the readme file:
Quote:
ZmineZ is a randomized-layout Heroes IV map. In version 1.0, 20 possible layouts (called "variants") are included, and more may be added later. The map is intended to be completely resistant to set patterns of play, requiring players to make important choices and revise their strategies during the course of the game. Gates into enemy territory do not open until day 40 (day 12, month 2), but early interaction with your opponent is encouraged by the structure of the map's underground.
ZmineZ is, of course, available for immediate download at Laelths HOMMaps. It needs a little further testing before I send it to ToH.
Enjoy!

nothing's a challenge for laelth, he'll just change terrain from swamp to grass and a new map will arise which will be enjoyed by many

Yes , a very fun map , good job Laelth !
I think there is just few things that could be changed.
I think these things should be banned : Demonary , Ring Of Permanency and Towngate.
Also the gates could open a day or two earlier

Hmm ...
On the version I have, T.T, all those things are banned. (no town gate spell, no demonary, no ring. of perm) I almost always ban these.
I am not sure which version you have, but none of those things should appear on the map.

Ive played the map through now a couple of times. And atleast in the version that u download from toheroes, doesnt have them banned.
also although its version 1.2 it says 1.1 so u could fix that in the settings.
-maybe 1 library would be good
-what t.t said about arts
-change the gold mines in middle of "both areas to something more significant. Theres so much money in the late game that gold mines arent that useful.
- i would open gates day38. GIves a bit more challenge for cleaning up area.
- A little tougher guards guarding seabook would be good also
- A little tougher gold mine guards in early game.
BUt overall best laelth map
