Help! I'm playing "The Lords of War", technical problem
Hi,
I've recently started playing "The Lords of War". I have only 1 savegame and the hourglass freezes on orange player's turn, no matter what I try on my turn.
What should I do? I don't want to start all over again(and maybe this would happen again).
By the way, is there a SoD version of this map?
Thanks in advance

This might not help but try to change computer moment speed to maximum or turn show the enemy turns off. Computer opponents sometimes go back and fourt in teleports like no tomorrow.

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

What month is it in your game?
And Lord of War is a SoD map if I remember correct.

I gave up and erased the savefile. It was like 15th month or so.
It's not SoD, it's RoE. Now I've downloaded another version (AB) and I'm working on it to create a SoD version. I'm fixing a few errors (like unreachable dwellings), making some convertions, adjustments and I've added the item "Shackles of War" to the main hero (it's SO annoying to be almost defeating a HUGE army and when you're just about to perform the final blow the computer flees! And I'll never get the artifacts because the computer won't buy that hero again).

Month 15 is much too late for that map. (My last try was 180 days, which is month 7, 200%, and I know some people who were even faster...)
On some custom made XL maps, the comp player seems to freeze when it passes month 14.
Happened to me the first time on the map "To Kill for Power".
The reason may be your version of the game. Check if u have the latest version. (1.4 for RoE, 3.2 for SoD, or 4.0 for Complete)
I would strongly recommend to NOT add or change anything on the map, coz u ruin the game idea that way.
You must try to either take all towns of a specific comp player first before u attack his strongest hero, that way he cannot flee. Or u try to get him while he is in town, so he can't flee either. The artefacts u r missing if a hero flees are not very important. Green (swamp) has only low level artefacts, red (dungeon) aswell. Teal (Rampart) has SoJ as best artefact. The necro guy to the very left bottom of the map has shackles also....
And which dwellings are not reachable ? (and important for u to take...)

Yes actually I'm kinda slow on heroes 3, I like to boost a lot before going on. (now that I know that it's likely to freeze after the 14th month I'll try to rush)
My version is complete 4.0.
I always try to get the enemy main hero while he is in town (to prevent fleeing) but they usually attack my hero first when I get close to their region.
One of the dwellings for example (in the AB version) is a red dragon dwelling just south of the main castle, it can not be reached because there is a dragon utopia on the way.
And I have no idea of how to get the Titan's Gladius in the underground area, in a small river southwest of the labyrinth, can not be accessed by boat and there is no terrain that you can step.
And also the shipyard at the middle of the labyrinth. You can not board the ship you build, the only way to get a boat is summoning one (maybe this one they did on purpose)

If u have a map with a dragon utopia, u do not have the latest version of the map. The mapmaker removed the utopias in his latest update due to the possibility a player could get angelwings, spellbinders hat or tome of air as reward and therefor could fly over the map, which ruins the gameplay.
I can send you the latest version if u want.
Problem with all these maps is, the longer u wait, the stronger the comp player becomes, due to the time events. (tons of armies every 28 day, or similar...)

Hm. I've downloaded my version from a Yahoo group that has many heroes3 maps, I forgot the name now. Anyway, I'd be thankful if you could send it to me at fblevai@gmail.com
Thanks

I've sent you the map right now, besides some other great single player maps and 1 custom campaign called "Eternal Love".
Have fun.

Well damn.
Im playing this map too, and for the 2nd time now, it freezes...
Im on month 10, and I used the reveal map cheat to see why the hell does the orange player freezes my game...
For some reason one of his heroes just stands and not moves, and that when the map freezes.
I wabt to finish this map badly, but I just cant

I will send you this map this evening when I turn back home. If I can find a save game from month 3 or 4, I will send aswell. You need Heroes Complete for being able to use this save game though.
