HC map!
It will be a H5 map constucting with game elements. We need to create a map about HC. How would we do that?
At first it will be a collective map. Obviously at first you should sign up if you want to join. You need only H5 map editor (likely 3.1) to take part. Then I give an almost empty map, "sliced" in the certain amount of squares. In the joining order contestants download map and edit one of the empty squares they like.
This game also has rules:
- The territory of HC should cover almost all ground terrain. Only 4 squares in corners should be nutral territory.
- In the underground will be players' towns and other starting stuffs. (I think I'll do underground myself)
- All HC subforums should be included. Well, maybe except LHR (TOH is enough) and maybe OGET and OSM (I can't imagine how we can make it, but if someone want, he can make it). All other subforums should be included.
- When the map is finished I'll edit it a bit and add a members-heroes. Everybody who took part will be included. And everybody who want me to add them too can claim that. When you claim it, you should say, what faction and specialisation you want and likely write biography of your hero (Though I can do that myself, but I have not much time, so it will delay map publishing).
Also following mods will certainly be added:
Val
Pandora
Elvin
MightyMage
Kookastar
ShadowCaster
Angelito
VokialBG
alcibiades
Mytical
They will be added even they wouldn't post here. But it would be better if they post and also adding them myself will dealy map publishing, you know. 
- Then if somebody can script map it would be veeeeery cool.
- Then hopefully map would be ready for release.
Contestants:
1)Veco
2)Elvin
3)Evasion

I'd like to take part 
What is your vision for this map? What do you want to express showing the subforums?
Volcanic Wasteland beeing some full of e.g. useless arties and OSM being more of a labirynth? What's the basic idea for a plotline (if there should be one that is)?

Well, I imagined VW as a lava terrain with some volcanos, demonic crystals, demons and such, but you can create is as you wish. Btw, OSM-labirynth is cool idea.

Well, no. The objective is to defeat all your opponents. (Map includes 4 human opponents and one AI - HC). The story is that you are lord from the Ashan, who traveled through a portal to the unknown dimension to the beautiful land, known as Heroes Community. However it turned out that three other lords came there as well. So you need to deafeat them and the battle will happen on HC territory...
So basicaly it's a usual map with HC as a terrain. But if someone can script it (Could multiplayer maps be scripted?), I think it would be more interesting.
EDIT: Elvin, do you join?

You just need to create on of the map squares as you wish. Not the whole map. Is that so hard? And don't you have time on weekends?

Nice initiative But I sux in mapping, anyway if I join it will be after the next week is over.
But I'll keep checking the discussion for now
EDIT:
I also have few ideas:
First I imagine the conception as huge map with a lot of creatures and speacial quests.
TOH - arena for knight turnaments with a lot of public, tents, etc...
Library - plase full of mages and elders, they keep sharing old knowledge, but alro there can be found ancient beasts (maybe we can add some H3 creatures there);
Lands of Axeoth - Well, Lands of Axeoth!
Temple of Ashan - Temple in greek style, and elvin siting there as a greek god in tunic  , also a lot of zombies as neutrals. Alci is goint to give you a quest to kill them, because he is going on holiday  ;
Workshop - some kind of technology city and blacksmiths;
Altar - Maybe some king of place full of magical creatures?;
Dimension Gates - gates to another world? You can meet some Might and Magic character there?;
MapHaven - just a cartographer?;
Newcomers Inn - players may start there;
Tavern - Worlds hub, you can buy arties, spells, take quests, hire creatures...;
VW - spammers area, chaos, demons, lava;
Other Games Exist Too - maybe the eastern eggs can be used here, Nivel added tank and plane, also UFO, we can add them;
Bards Glade Pyre - no idea, maybe camp fire?;
Other Side of the Monitor - no idea...;
Coliseum - coliseum and gladiators;
Tribunal - no idea;
HQ - somewhere you can't enter, you only see the heave wooden door and the trees with donuts on them ;

This is just one more reason to tackle it again. Perhaps they still have some material stored from back then. Or at least ideas, and such.
God forbid if all of humanity projects were frustrated by the shear fact they failed in previous ocasions.
I support this initiative a 100%.
But the hard fact: I suck at mapping. Badly. Almost as bad as I play soccer.

I have some mapmaking experience and know a couple of Fiur's tricks. Perhaps I could deal with the finishing touches, add some eyecandy.
But first what are your thoughts on the project DC?

Yet again I'm misunderstood. I didn't say not to create the map, I didn't try to discourage it, I just pointed to a thread where it's been discussed before.

Well you're right there. I think that I'm in, but we'll see.
EDIT: Since I am not experienced in the H5 editor, because it's too complicated and confusing for me, I will have to leave. h3/h4 map would be better for me.

Meaning is it rpg? Is it an epic map? Is it multiplayer with each forum representing a player?

Well, I think it would be multiplayer map. Players can't play as HC. They are "Ashan guests". However, if someone can offer his help with scripts I have some ideas how to make it interesting.

I'd prefer an rpg - exploration kind of map, to make a multiplayer map for all those forums you'd need to make it XXXXL or have starting areas tiny. In the former case apart from being harder to design and (God forbid)balance it will be hell to load in the editor. In the latter there won't be much to do anyway.
