HotA Crew I am sorry to say, but at some point in time you changed Tower's Lookout Tower.
You placed it much lower on the construction, which made for a much lower vantage point.
How are you supposed to see anything only halfway up the building?
Perhaps your version looks better, but it makes no sense.

The Lookout Tower's height didn't change. They just added a structure around the tower itself.
You might be getting confused because there's a second, taller tower behind the Lookout Tower, which for some reason the structure's icon is focused on in SoD instead of what it actually builds.

Are you sure?
I remember the Lookout Tower being taller in SOD, but perhaps I am wrong.
At any rate it looks weird when many of the other towers are taller than the actual Lookout Tower...

Maybe it has magical spyglasses or scrying pools in the tower that lets the occupant view farther than the tower's height would allow.

Campaign doesn't progress
Hi! I'm new to the forum and can't make a separate post about my problem, but I hope it's ok to write it here:
I am playing HoTA, the GoG version through Heroic launcher on MacOS. I had some problems installing it, but through renaming some file and other measures I can't quite remember that were recommended on forums it is now running fine. I played through the first campaign, but on the second one (Terror of the seas) I don't progress from Evenmore to the next map, but instead go back to the first one. What could cause this? I would be super thankful for all the help I can get. I'm not very tech savvy, so you will have to ask for any further information needed to investigate the problem (because I don't know what's relevant). If I have posted in the wrong place, please post me in the right direction!

Some time ago I started to make a new map. I finished the first part, tested it and let it rest, waiting for better ideas.
Now, when I try to open it, it gives me an Error, saying "Invalid map version. File Version = 32 Current Version = 28.
I updated HotA but the problem persists. Does anyone knows what I should do?
Thanks.

Download the HotA version your map is designed for and continue your work.
https://h3hota.com/en/download
You probably won't be able to start it on newer versions of the HotA anyway -
Quote:
[+] Added the option to prevent starting a map on newer versions of HotA (for maps made in a specific version of HotA that may not work properly in newer versions due to gameplay updates)
Also, you can try to open and re-save your map in one of older versions of the map editor (say, your map is for 1.6.1, try to open and re-save it in 1.7.0, then 1.7.1 to see if you can upgrade it at all).
How does the HotA team update their standard maps for newer versions? I think they have some sort of a converter, but I don't think it's publicly available.

Thanks.
So, with 1.7.1 it doesn't open because it is for a latter version, 1.7.3 it gives the previous error. Maybe some can make a good map within this gap but I certainly can't.

So, it's for 1.7.2? Have you tried to unpack your map, change the version (offset 0) from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3 and pack it back (just a suggestion, it probably won't work)? As far as I remember, 1.7.3 introduces new Learning, but don't change map cells format or something that would prevent conversion 1.7.2 -> 1.7.3.

I think it's posterior to that cause in the third custom University I set Learning. I wouldn't do it if it was still considered the worst secondary skill by many. I already have My Built by then but someone may prefer other skills, so these are alternatives, like Ballistics and Intelligence.

The error "Invalid map version. File Version = 32 Current Version = 28" appears when you try to open HotA map in SoD editor. 28 is SoD map format, and 32 is HotA one.
Without the map itself nothing more can be said here.

Does anyone know about the Mage Guild of Bulwark?, will they have level 3 or level 4?
What is their war machine?
Will they have Shipyard or Artifact Merchants?

Maybe - When magic resistance and might mean level 3.. In logic, boat can't move on the ice.. and on winter, they needed artifacts.. Beauty, IMO! - or you've seen movies, books..

Yes. That's what I get every time I miss the SoD with the Era editors but you have a different icon and I believe I wouldn't miss it a dozen times...
It's working so maybe when it's finished I try to update it. It already has the option to rehire developed heroes.

Relating to this, do we have any idea about if Bulwark will have a "gimmick"? Cove had a unit that could be upgraded three times (Sea Dogs) and Cannons, a unique war machine. Factory had Mechanical units and two Tier 7 units. Bulwark doesn't seem to have any tricks in its units, so to speak, since we already know they're only single upgrades and there's only seven. (Unless we're in for a surprise I guess). So I'm curious what they'll get, if they get something (which I would be surprised if they didn't)
Very old concepts of Bulwark back when it was Kronverk from over a decade ago mention "Rune Magic", but there were barely any details and considering the age I doubt that will be what's used here.

Well they do have "a negative gimmick", they are the only town without flying units, but this will be compensated by ranged and spellcasting units and perhaps Mammoths or Jotunns have some kinda wallsmashing ability...
I have also heard some stuff about them getting better trading rates, but if I know anything about HotA, Bulwark will probably have a few more aces up their sleeves.

It feels like the Hota crew has been ramping up towards more garrisons/walls/siege options so maybe something there. Two layers of walls? Four towers? Unique towers? Something befitting a "Bulwark".

Bulwark release
I truly believe that by january first we get Bulwark just my feeling also. Because they only have 7 units this time and also there wont be a new terrain type like factory needed. I also noticed they release more updates since they have more devs in their team.I cant wait to see all the units plus their upgraded forms
