Kings Bounty Custom HoMM3 Map
Hey all, I'm new to the maphaven forums, but I wanted to get a HoMM3 community opinion and/or help with something.
I loved Kings Bounty, since I was a kid I played it and loved it, then the HoMM series came out, and I just ate it up.
But to get to the point, I started making a XL map of all four continents from KB, I've been a bit sneaky with fitting all four between two maps, but obviously the editor doesn't allow for TOTAL customization on everything.
Some examples would be recruiting. KB featured dwellings just the same, but in HoMM3 you either get the units free, buy them, or fight to buy. The refugee caravan helps with that problem, but some of the troops you find may be a bit overpowered for your... stage in the game.
The second problem is there is no way to make a monster group, or have them wander. I did think about having an enemy hero act as one, but depending on the radius of patrol, they would take all your treasure before you even saw it.
I think its turning out different, with a clear influence from HoMM3 itself (obviously?), but I would like your input on any ideas you might have on how to make it feel like your playing KB thru HoMM3, so to speak.
Thanks all! Its good to be here! javascript:bbcode(' ')

it is possible to make such a map with WoG: making the creatures to follow your hero (like those you could recruit in freelancer's guild) or changing the creatures recruited in certain dwellings (like we all saw in WoG tutorial, where griffin bastion sold upgraded griffins)

Good idea, but your a bit out of my league at the moment, as I bought HoMM3:RoE only off some "sold out software" website, and haven't found the x-pac on a non-ebay site yet... (' ')

WoG is an unofficial fan-made mod so it's free for download, but you'd need either Shadow of Death or Complete to make it work.
Not sure what exactly you had in mind but try using Events, which allow you to set guards and rewards.
