Map of the Lands of HOMM5
edit May, 20th 2006
______________________________________________________________________
This was a homemade map I made for the ICTC contest which was based on the "official" history. I originally posted it on January 27. 4 posts down you'll find a link to the Nival map that was sent out with collectors edition H5 boxes.
______________________________________________________________________
Hello all, I am an occasional poster over at the Round Table. I use the handle "FriendOfGunnar" because I took Gunnar on a tour of almost all the HOMM3 maps made (yes, that's easy but I challenge myself to do it as quickly as possible). So maybe Gunnar is my most popular video game character of all time!
Anyway, I want to thank you guys for expanding the Create-A-Faction contest to English speakers. I'm trying this and maybe this is even more fun than playing the game.
So I made this map to help me. All the information is taken from the history that was described on this website. Feel free to use it for whatever you want. I will be back in a few days to reveal my faction.

ain't the grasslands on north-east only rather than on the whole northern land?
That's possible.
The story never says what's "only" North.
And in my mind when I think of the the American praerie and the Russian steppes that go on for such a long distance it makes me think that the Northeastern Steppes aren't "only" Northeastern. Anyway if you want to erase the Northern Grasslands and put in an Olympus Mons or maybe a hole that goes to middle of the Earth (hmmm I just gave myself an idea) than that's perfectly OK. That's the reason I made it.

check check check it out
the official map
I've been curious about this for like 3 months now.
I think Nival really boxed themselves in though regarding room for expansion, all I see is one continent surrounded by lotsa water.
Superinteresting though I see a Grimmheim here which in my mind equals dwarven/nordic expansion faction (unless this is demons...dunno).
Also Ranaar, perhaps an Orc faction?
very interesting, can't wait to play it five years from now.

No, Demons come from another world. Those must be Dwarves...

The Map kinda looks like Europe. On the east you got another neighbor-continent (asia), Then there's the mediterenian sea, south of this is africa, greek islands in the jade ocean.
Well, in the expansion they could add barbarians/hunns.

That's interesting - I was actually sure that Grimmheim was the home of the Demonics, as discussed in this topic. If this is not the case, and Grimmheim is not the Dark Elf dungeon either, that might open the possibility for three expansion towns:
Dwarven - Stonehelm
Orc/Ogre/Barbarian - Grimmheim
Naga - Karthal
Yay ... the Barbarian fraction is sorely needed!
