Lord of the rings (chinese)
I recommend to any veteran. VERY hard map, but you will be surprised by all tricks the mapmaker imagined. I gave up several times but eventually came back and beat it. Don't forget to save everyday and keep saves, the map requires endless reloading for one or another reason. AI will scare you this time, thrust me.

Salamandre,screens for me:
When I left click on hero portrait ieroglyphes appear:
and in the main menu:
Is there a second henchman as in TDS?
What I like:immediately before the 1st battle warning message about the 1st henchman!  And this curse is really good!

The text is not important, Season does not give any hints about how to play the map. You can play it in chinese.

Opinion
In reality as I reached day 4,I understand that the map deserves my respect!For example,the shrine above the 8 pit lords is customed to give remove obstacle and played in wog,it gives something else.
So if from the very begining a SPELL is removed by wog,that means most probably the game may later become unplayable for some reasons.
I may try the original interface in the era mods(if that is required to virtually remove wog).

Hmm
Selfdeleted my hench post as irrelevant.
I have some feeling the fight with the 8 pit lords must finish with casualties not 8 lords 5 demons,but 8 lords 6 demons...

In the first pit fight, you must wait the pit raise 1 demon, in the second you must wait for 6 demons, or you will not get enough experience, then use remove obstacle when fighting the efreets. Took me a while doing so. But this is only the beginning, later it gets really hard.

I tried several times and I must say : fu** this map.
Managed to survive for 3 months, and suddenly theodorus comes with 800 archimagi, 40 titans and 120 nagas, he is immune to blind, then next day a necro comes join the fun also, with 400 dread knights, 700 power liches and zounds other. My army: 27 archangels, 30 black dragons and minor stuff.
No forgetfulness, no clone, just a power 27 resurrect, no expert air shield neither, Heroes primary skills are given at start, no air.
I am done with, I can't find a way.

Sometimes I play Chinese maps and I ask myself: how did map makers complete their maps?
Or may be I am not good at playing H3?

Maybe because chinese players have enough time to spend to kill a legion of golems with 1 sprite.....just for a start

Well, I would do that if there were the possibility. There are several spots on map where the battle terrain offers optimal protection, as only two squares for archangels or one square for harpy hags, not reachable. But those two invaders have an amazing shoot power, any of their stacks can kill in one shot any of mine.

I found out about this map a while ago, when I completed xiedu, which was an incredible challenge already. I didn't play this, cause of lack of motivation. Nice to hear some guys are taking on this!
Chinese site: http://www.gamerhome.net/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=271367
Unfortunately, google translate is not making much of a sense...
However, I started today, and did like killing both elementals (using only curse, path first), killing pit and taking resources, killing other pits, getting obstacle, killing Efreets (Obstacle).
I didnt go any further for today, because its late already, but Im not sure if you have to kill the scorps, I remember one map where you could attempt over 100 dwarfes with one troll, only doable if lucky, i wonder, do you have to be lucky with paralysis?
Will definetly continue this map, it must be doable.

When did you guys kill Neela?
I went first for the hillfort, not for the trolls, so I wasnt able to attack the blue hero yet, Alamar is currently aiming to kill them.
Like Salamandre said, after the first 5 days it becomes easier.
I choosed to kill the Scorps right when I took the 2 angels, which allowed me to kill the faerie one day later (now I know it was intended to kill Scorps), after that I went for the right path, when Neela turned up. Luckily she went up to my castle, where I was able to catch her up in time.
Edit: After that, I went straight for Lorelei (who was only defeatable by extreme luck and morale abusings, still losing 1 angel), and the other hero, who waited at the seers hut, went straight for the azures and then in direction ajit, the third hero went for the barb, who was now a walk in the park, in the meantime i killed Synca in her home (who was for some reason not that a threat as Lorelei) and went back to reinforce.

You can kill the faerie day 5 with 1 archangel only, needs reload if he casts lightning, for all other spells you have protection/mass cure.
I usually go for Sorsha end of 2th week, because a second castle is better than dungeon. Then I go for all three dungeons.
Still some details from your story look unbelievable to me. 30 ghost dragons with 2 angels? For azure dragons you need harpies but you say you did not kill Ajit yet, and the seer hut giving harpies is near him.

Which Ghosts do you mean? For the one above the dungeon area, you have the battlefield on your side (in the lower area): You split your angels (should have 7 by that time), and take 4 griffins, in addition to shooters, fight is easy. For the ones to Lorelei (one of your heroes is still a little back from visiting the castle area, that he lands on the seer perfectly is pure luck), you take ONLY the 7 Angels, cast Stone Skin first, and move to the upper left spot: Angel survives the hit (if not aged, otherwise reload), then you kill them by luring them + slow and chain lightning.
The seer needs Lorelei to be killed, thats why I skipped Ajit at first  The thing im wondering about is why Ajit is so strong at your game? After 4 weeks you should quite outnumber him.
However, I can send you a few saves if you want.
PS.: Now I understand what you mean. Of course I've taken Sorsha already. And Ajit doesn't dare to attack my hero (may it be cause of range or troops, I think first one )
