Hey guys, my mate and I love heroes but often we don’t always have the time to play the full logistics part of it - I’ve been trying to search online on this forum and maps4heroes but haven’t found any maps that are great 1v1 start with big army battle type maps (think Good to Go type things or even just a straight draft an army/hero map)
If anyone has any recommendations could they please share? Thank you so much!

I also would like to see your fav maps. I want to know what maps @BloodSucker likes to play, and @Salamandre & @Fenix4Ever. Some people recommended wayfarer.
There has been several discussions about fav maps, but none satisfied me. most recent one by ghost http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=47791
Edit: pardon me so you just want 1v1 that'll prolly be random maps!

Hi, well I've been here for quite a time now, but only observing and mainly looking for news about new versions. 
Thanks, I'll check it out!

Hi thanks for your reply but doesn’t really answer my question - 1v1 random maps are fun but are also a bit of a hyperefficiency do nothing for 2 weeks simultaneous turns and then fight - which is fun at times but also kind of just want maps where you start with armies as stated before like Good to Go and just start fighting! Cheers though
Thanks!

By the way not everyone plays with that stupid creature meta, where Inferno runs around with 100 angels or Dungeon runs around with 100 giants.
Thank the introduction of as many as possible HotA "creature banks" with creature rewards. In my opinion creature banks were a mistake altogether. But understandable in original H3 where devs didn't know how it would affect random maps, which weren't there in the original game (it snowballs easily).
This isn't the same as giving you money, since money is still limited by things as daily construction limit or weekly creature growth, that is to say, sensitive caps on the natural development of the game.
Hand crafted maps didn't have much of a problem compared with RNG, since human designers could easily decide if, how many, for whom, which guards, and where.
Even then there were only angels and wyverns.
H4 doesn't have creature-reward banks for obvious reasons, devs understood the problem of rushing the game (winning a creature bank makes winning the next one far too easy, thus easily conquering everything), but HoTA clearly didn't grasp this simple principle.
***
This is also why I laugh to hota "competitive players" bullying people with the preposterous notion they know the H3 game and balance better than anyone else. The very fact that RNG maps based on HotA creature banks define their meta, means they are not even playing H3 anywhere close to intended, and that they can't properly appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of a town in actual (creatureless bank) combat.
Any appreciation anyone who only plays random maps where chain-rushing banks that (regardless of your native town) give you free Enchanters, Phoenix, Red Dragons, Sea Serpents, Cyclops and Giants might believe they have about "faction balance" is completely laughable.

Because of variation: creature bank or artifact. Which do you choose in about 20 angels or Angelic Alliance? Also Tower for Gems, angels or firebirds, and new giants in the HotA, so the most important of the tower, I don't play Wyverns, Cyclopses with. In the future useless number, etc Only scouts, and main heroes don't allow. Ban! Minds can change in creature bank growth in WoG. The same H4.  Strategy isn't a change, those are MOD.

Update by Lazy at a Russian forum today (translated with Google):
https://forum.df2.ru/index.php?s=25e0e0624568ad48317a6a51df9b447c&showtopic=37363&st=3920&start=3920
Do you want updates? Get:
May (and summer in general) is a specific time, someone in the team has a lot of time, and some difficult places get off the ground, and someone chills in the country or even lays future potato mines. It must be understood that the development of a non-commercial project is always carried out as quickly as possible. The maximum possible precisely because the participants work on the project exactly when they themselves consider it possible and no one can force or force someone to work. Hence the impossibility of setting specific deadlines.
Since the last post:
- 5 out of 8 maps are completely ready and tested for the campaign. Two more cards need to be balanced to their final form. The last map (the 4th scenario in the campaign) is in the making. The map is large, with an underground world and new features.
- Fully implemented new gameplay mechanics. (I mentioned earlier about the new mechanics and the difficult task of the code for its implementation, but in the context of a special building in the Factory. Since then, it was decided not to tie the mechanics to any particular city. The Factory received a new, classic, special -structure). We can safely say that the team coped with atypical tasks.
- Numerous bug fixes, improvements, etc.
- The status of graphics, music, as in my last post, no longer changes - everything is done.
- The writing of the final game texts for the campaign maps has begun.
Free hands (like mine) are already busy producing off-plan content - for example, new sets of decorations, which may even be already in the current release. As well as new content for further updates after the release of the Factory, no matter how early it may be to talk about such things.
Quote
Well, how much "mass" of time will a regular comment take here? 10 minutes? 15? .gif Don't be ridiculous. So yes. I wonder if it is worth waiting for something in the summer and in general the alignment of affairs. =).gif
Well, I've wanted to write a post for a long time, but I have the forum password in a letter in the mail, and climbing there, looking for a password, writing a post ... too lazy))) It still takes 15-20 minutes to write a short essay.

Well, it's not just an open day. You need to think - what to open, in what words, what to keep silent about. PR managers at good rates sit in reputable companies.
That's why we limit ourselves to posts on the forum. The creation of "news" and articles in the group took from 3 to 7 days, and no one in the team wants to use the group as a twitter for the messages "we are working, don't screw up". Better as before - a big post for a big event (release), and not winding rubber around a fist.

Are there any plans to add decorative content/objects to maps? Some new interesting atmospheric water rocks, or perpendicular passage gates (requiring a keykeeper's tent), new trees/false soils (purely decorative)
There will be no new overhead soils (especially without properties), but we already have a lot of decorative content and it continues to be created. Decorative content is the easiest content to work with, because it does not need to be tested for balance and bugs, it can be added immediately to the game when ready.

Something might have been lost in translation, but that sounds to me like the only thing left is three campaign missions. That's huge.

I'm less interested about Factory and more interested in what general changes to other things there will be.
Things, like Primary and Secondary skills, Spells and such.

When I first installed HoTA, I was excited about playing Cove all of the time, but that excitement quickly waned and I went back to playing my all-time favorite faction - Rampart.
I don't know what to call it, loyalty, comfort zone, if I'm not playing Rampart, I feel bad the whole game I'm not playing Rampart. Like in Turtle WoW - if I'm not playing Alliance, I feel bad I'm not playing Alliance and I can't enjoy myself.
I think the new factions HoTA is adding are cool, but after people get used to them and accept them as part of the game, they become less significant.
Also one thing that's been bothering me is that HoTA is named after the campaign related to the Cove faction, pirate stuff, mythic treasures, but now this new update will be about Steampunk Western Wastelands so I don't understand how the name HoTA still fits.
I think they just picked a bad name to begin with that doesn't work or make sense anymore.

Hota's campaign ends with a sort of a cliffhanger, Factory campaign can (and probably will) continue the plot wth the Horn of the Abyss artifact.

Me too, I'm looking forward to play the factory, that's definitly the most important thing for me, and getting new decorations for map making is simply the cherry on top of the ice cream! An extremely huge and sweet cherry!
On the other hand I'm curious about that new mechanic, I wonder what it might be about and how it might work. Whatever it might be, I'm looking forward to see and try it by myself, I'm sure it'll make me take some days off at work...

I'm not sure. Horn of the Abyss artifact has strong Lovecraft inclinations. Factory - none. I guess it will be parallel story (with pottentially crossing in the future or last campaign).

I agree with you, thus Grotto, and strong artifacts can't make stronger. I guess Factory is banned spells are water, maybe skill too, Factory focuses on Armageddon, etc
