New map for an entirely new gaming experience!!
I have been working on a map to offer to the community that would offer great freshness and innovation to the HOMM3 experience. Let me ask if you are tired of:
1. Games of Hero chaining.
2. Games devoid of the roleplay that campaigns can offer.
3. Lvl 7 guardians which you break through to the treasure section and make your way to your opponent...
4. Being an AI master of killing legions of a single unit in terms of guardians or stockpiles....
5. Most of all, spending five hours of work that is decided in one single battle which could be swung drastically by one morale or luck draw or even perhaps his topes were better than my topes.
WELL THAN I have a MAP for YOU
My custom map promises a war on five fronts, a roleplay experience, and also an adventure line of treasure seeking to use in the final Battles (that's right I said battles). You can expect frequent confrontations with the enemy after about the first month. Also turns should be filled with progressive fighting moving you towards the enemy and unlocking the maps surprises. None of the boring resource grabbing, troop transfering, stockpile blah blah blah that you have done over and over and over for 1,000 games. My maps boasts of everything being guarded by multi-unit guardians requiring greater intellect and strategy than archer-chopping, mass slow, unit dancing... wouldn't it be great to use your brain through the whole game instead of just the one single anti-climatic battle??? What's also great is that while building a super hero is part of the map, there is heavy magic focus as well since I'd be surprised if you could tell well otherwise, mwuahaha!
My map is mostly thought out about 80%, and I would like to know if there are many bites for this idea, I love the creative aspect, but I'm making this really for two players other than me, since it would be unfair for me to play it against someone, at least at first. So plz, comment and tell me if you like the idea of playing a map how I described it. What's also great is that absolutely no added rules are needed to play this map.
As far as who I am-
I'm a player who was around this community a few years ago, but became disappointed in the limited strategies of the multi-player game and the lack of payoff of a single big battle. Not to mention it didn't feel all that excited about learning how to chain heroes and manipulate the AI in rudimentary ways.
Also, is there a website out there where people post and submit custom maps?

The best site to submit maps to is Celestial Heavens 
You could try Maps4Heroes too, but I can't tell whether they're still really active or not.

question though
Is this website primarily for single player maps? I'm primarily interested in creating multi-player maps to give people an alternative to the random generators and templates like Jebus.

It doesn't matter, they'll host any map as long as it's good quality.
