It is. I modified it heavily, I also didn't like empty spaces, so I covered up the entire map with extra objects. I modified the terrain around inferno main castle and Steadwick for fun.

Wanna compare to the vanilla version of the map?

I don't know, but since I already exported them from HoMM3 Complete Edition, I can upload them to my Dropbox for you.

im sorry to disappoint you but HotA team barely listens to the ideas/whishes of the community. Even though there is a thread dedicated to the wishlists of the members of HC, nik said himself that he rarely reads it and he is the most active HotA member on HC.

not to jump on you or anyone else, but think about it: if you were part of a team(or even just an individual) that put out quality work, would you listen to a flood of suggestions(especially when it's filling your thread) on how to improve your own work? if you were part of a team that put out quality work, wouldn't the team already know what to do next? this team, the vcmi team, succession wars team, etc., have been around for years, it's not like they're stuck in a creative rut. they've been playing the game for years and years; it's not like they don't know what needs fixed, or could be improved, or added.

the only reason that other thread was even created, was to take that flood of suggestions, out of their thread. if people were to flood MY thread with 1,001 suggestions, i would tell them to take it to another thread. ideas are one thing, but multiple people flooding your thread with suggestions on what they want, or how to improve work you did, or what they don't like about what you did, would wear on one's nerves; especially after the sheer VOLUME of suggestions/dislikes/etc. you have to be realistic. would you want people to flood a thread YOU made with everything they could think about, to ADD to the work you're ALREADY doing, when they could learn to do it THEMSELVES? you don't think it's the least bit rude?

because i sure do. if i was a member of the team, i'd be very vocal about it. i'd be pushing the mods to penalyze people, even. it's just incessant and rude, no matter the intentions.

And I've also said specifically that other members do watch it through from time to time. Yes, every user suggestion has a low probability of being realised (though I did specify some time ago those which have a higher one), but some actually were.

P.S. Everything above said - I do personally agree with everything fred mentioned

Dunes are still in the game, though they were reworked to better match the intended style. They are still on the same places in the same maps. Just looking differently

I finally got around to playing the new HotA campaign, but even though I managed to finish the first map, I am baffled by a few of the quests. When I finally finished the map, I still had two quests open. One was for the Quest Guard near the water Prison a slight bit north of the map center.

The Quest Guard asked for the Ambassador's Sash before he would open the gate. One of the Seers was asking for the Undertaker's Amulet. I couldn't find either of those two Artifacts on the map anywhere and yes, I even went as far as to use the cheat code to open the entire map and painstakingly scanned it. Even found the Necklace of Ocean Guidance on one of the smaller islands that I had somehow missed (though View Air revealed it nonetheless).

Hypothesis:
The Hero held in the Water Prison held the Undertaker's Amulet
OR
The Seer would trade the Ambassador's Sash for the Amulet.
This would bring the number of missing artifacts down to just one. The question remains: where is it?

Edit: I just thought of using the power of cheat codes to some use after restarting the scenario . Checking the map right at the start, I did manage to locate the Ambassador's Sash near the Rampart Town in the northeast corner. My guess is that one of Green's Heroes took it and then suicided against a non-Hero stack. Since Green's Heroes can't be recruited by the player, that Artifact was then lost forever, since Green didn't have a Tavern anymore (I had captured both Haven towns in the northwest).

However, I also learned that it only unlocks Deemer from the prison, without any Artifacts on him. There isn't any stuff related to him on the map anyway, so I guess this one is purely optional. The Undertaker's Amulet remains a mystery, though. It's not on the map at the start, nor carried by any of the imprisoned Heroes. My guess is that it's spawned from an event? If so, I must have missed the trigger for it.

Thanks! I've indeed found it at that spot, as you indicated it. Reward for the quest is just a Ring of Vitality, however, nothing fancy.

But it does beg the question: why would you ever want to go to that specific spot? It's a small dead-end with nothing interesting there to begin with.

What is the status of possible new towns like Forge, Cathedral and Kronwerk, do you have plans to add any of them or other towns in the future?
Also what about new neutral creatures, there was talk about a Leprechaun and Fred79 mentioned some creatures a while ago...

Will Christian Campaign from AB be modified? I think Cove suits the campaign storyline about Pirates. Still some goblins could be placed, but Cove as Enemy would be better.

You got your answer. The team decided the old dunes weren't up to snuff and replaced them. I don't think they will ship their old WIP stuff with HotA but maybe you can get it personally from them.

Have you still got 1.1 somewhere? You probably can extract the files yourself.

Hero editor wasn't available in the Hota 1.1 and I can't open old maps now,because version is incompatible.
I can't also add or replace this files to the current version 1.4.2.Perhaps it is possible replace the dunes graphic files for another objects.

As far as I understand it's still the same object, just the graphical skin has been revised since.

You don't need any map editor. You need to extract the graphics from the 1.1 HotA.lod or whatever file it's in (can't check right now) and replace it in your current 1.4.2 installation.
