That's how I thought RMG templates were made, until I opened the editor. I totally agree with you, but I don't know how possible it is to be realised.

Do they read/respond to the ideas/suggestions thread? I didn't post it there because it seems mainly for in-game ideas, and I'm also curious about whether or not it would require a lot of work.

But if it is a good way to bring this idea to their attention I'll give it a try.

They do read the ideas and suggestion thread. But you need to understand that mechanics that are not already in the game are very hard to implement they way they do it. Changing Mysticism from +3 to +10 takes 1hour. Features like the Spell Research can take month.

The effect, of writing suggestions here, is about the same as sending prayers from a helicopter over Vatican city.

Kastore the Warlock, so he is a Dungeon hero? or is he a Factory hero?
Have any of the Factory classes or heroes been revealed?

But Tevye wrote: "Kastore the Warlock", which implies he is a Dungeon hero.

With revealed I meant classes names, classes skill advancement, heroes skills, specialties, names, pictures, biographies etc., but perhaps it's a bit too early for that...

Protagonist of VII is not exactly right, given the nature of a roleplaying game where you create your characters, but Kastore was certainly a major character in the game, either as an ally and superior or as the leader of the primary antagonistic faction.

ye I know they don't have the source code so it takes more work than just writing code to implement a new mechanic.

But I think the map generator is of their own making, isn't it? It would make it much easier to modify. The actual problem (I think) would be having to rework part of the map generation algorithm, which could be very easy or too much work, depending on how it's implemented now.

You can also create a new shortcut and edit its properties and put ''"C:<path>h3hota_maped.exe" /p:gf_me_patch.dll'' under "Target". That might be the most convenient way.

---

Thanks, but it gives me an error when I try to save the shortcut (I did everything as you said).

---

Strange. The only thing I can think of is that you're not writing the path correctly in that case. Are you running Windows? What exactly are you writing? In my case it looks exactly like this:

"C:/GOG Games/Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete/h3hota_maped.exe" /p:gf_me_patch.dll

EDIT: The backward slashes keep disappearing when I post? I don't know what's up with that. I put regular slashes in their places but they're obviously supposed to be backwards - except for the last one before "p:gf_me_patch.dll".

Well its not working.. when I try to copy just plan field with nothing its working , when I try yo copy an area with any kind of object or simple town or anything I get an error and the map editor crashes . Is there any other solution ? Its very very time consuming and boring when I try to create a balanced map and I have to put objects and thing one by one ...

---

Regarding why it doesn't work to copy everything over I don't know why. Sav posted the quote I put in a previous post a few years ago so there have been a few updates since which might've messed some stuff up with that particular .dll.

I seem to remember Sav or someone else from the HotA Crew mentioning that this .dll isn't guaranteed to work properly since it's something of a quickfix but I can't seem to find that quote. Maybe I'm misremembering so correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway glad you found some sort of solution.

There's a hero in Homm1 and Homm2 named Kastore, and he's a warlock, I think that's what Tevye is referring to.

Oh, so he kept one pistol he found somewhere (or maybe he "invented" it from some of the inactive Heavenly Forge's sketches). That's cool. Goes hand-in-hand with the fact that they will ~75%+ add the Pistol Goblin as a neutral troop in HotA (see it somewhere in this thread, I included a link).

It is a slight bit peculiar. Enroth Kastore was a warlock, but Terran Kastore was never called one in MM3 or MM7, nor does he quite fit with within the warlock scope (he was a sorcerer on Terra, and on Enroth went to work in Deyja with a focus on artifice), and they would be separate characters given the timeline of events. Then again, there is the example of Ethric from NWC, and we already know about Agar.

Or found another, but keeping one he already had seems reasonable. While they're definitely rare, functional blasters aren't unknown finds (just look at the Blaster trainers in MM6), and we know the Ultimate Adventurers took at least a few with them when they left the Lincoln.

In any case, very, very nice to see an explicit sci-fi MM element!
