Hourglass for tote
Hi all,
someone know if hourglass will be ready for tote soon?
i don't know jb239 but i think that this map is really a classic
and should be available for tote and for our site..
I know that many player don't like that map but many player also loves
it for the adrenaline that gives to the player..anyway i think we should have an upgrade
Someone agree with me?
We can also work together to make the new map more funny!

I agree. Hourglass deserves a new version for tote. I'm not a great map editor myself and i'm not sure if jb239 is still active, so if someone will help us we'd really appreciate it.
Cheers

I think that we can set the witch hut near castle with light magic so
all faction can play this map and not only necro and light side and
for sure cancel ring of speed so no one can have a great advantage with it.
Also me i'm not an editor users all the time i try to use my game crash and i need to reinstall all the game 
I don't know why
Thx buxy for your support but i think many think about this

I am very anxious about playing hourglass again....and again and again. Dont know why, may be because this map cant be rushed so....fast. Also its a "historical" map, balanced and interesting every time when played. I think when we or someone would modificate it should be very carefully : how can you improve something like a nice neckless?
Just joking guys, anything can be improved, my opinion.
But I will offer my little time if needed.

You can just copy the file from the old map folder to the new map folder.
The only 'updating' that would have to be done is if jb239 wants to put on ToTE buildings...

/agree.
actually it turns into a duel, just that it takes several hours. not much change in strategy from a game to another. map has no plots or difficulties which can force u to take other path and select carefully the fights.
way too linear for my taste. even battle for honor is far better.

We can play all the old map for sure in this way but..
the problem are the new building that are a very important part of the new tote rules.
the new spell is impossible to find in castle.
We can modify many aspect of the map that are not used now from all the player that play hg(we can cancel the master key tend for example)
And many other thing..
As i have said in the first message many player don't loves this map
for personal reason and i don't want to convince this person to play here but this map is for sure the most played map and the most beautiful and to have it available is not a bad thing for sure.
battle for honor is also a good map but it's another thing..

Good point. Firewall shows up but that's it.
Well some people have been updating their maps like Zilonite etc.
Edit: We could fix it up in the map editor for ToE but isn't that rude and inappropriate to JB239?

That's true. We can't ask jb to modify the map. I am not a map editor myself, so I can't ask people to do it. Besides this the map is part of "history" so I think it should be reviwed...

One person say to me that he can fix the game!
Maybe in the next day map will be available..
For all hourglass players now it's the time to post his suggestions!
Really the map don't need many corrections but 2 or 3 new building will be added plus the new spell.

I didn't realize TOTE was out until like 10 minutes ago  Been busy lately working 50+ hour weeks, but I'll prolly pick up the game soon and do a little map work.
To be honest I'm not too sure of what many of the TOTE features are.. any requests for specific changes or additions to the map?
btw if someone wants to make changes themselves and submit it that'd probably be ok with me. You can email me at jasonb619@gmail.com if you have any questions or whatever.

First of all thanks for jb239 to create hour(rune)glass.
This map gave, gives and will give me so much fun I can not really tell.
In one hand I agree that the strategy for each game is very similar. The route for your main hero is similar in each game.
(Even tough I solve town taking differently to others, I do not use refugee. For me there is only one big question at this level: should I take abandoned mines first or take ore and wood mine before)
But as always the devil is in the deatils.
How can u manage the hero chains, exploit maximum from the map to be ready to break on 3rd day of 4th week latest.
This is one thing why I like HG. A normal game takes around 28-35 turns. You need to watch your every step, and not only your main hero's steps.
The other thing why I like HG is that I think it has great balance. As I see it only heaven and (thanks to god) dwarf has fewer chance than others.
Because necro can break fastest.
Sylvan is very strong there, good army, breaking fast.
Academy with little luck with resources can be fastbreaking and strong.
Inferno with 400 imps can take away enemy mana at the final battle, but hard to break.
Dungeon hard to break, but 3 towns with artifact merchant each is a big advantage.
I think there are few maps which gives almost same chances to 5 factions.
About the post:
I dont have Tote yet. I hope Tote will have same good balance in general as it (is) was in HOF.
Untill we realise how the balance works in Tote I would not urge jb to upgrade HG.
I think this map needs to be upgraded, but upgrade it very carefully.

Well put insatiable and teacher. Feel Free to try battlezone if ya want a map that changes every game, and has multiple paths and strategies every game. 
I still owe you a game teacher! If you worked less

Battlezone is cool, HG is one of my favorite, now I'm trying Fiur's map : Forgotten Kingdoms, so far so great...
