Not sure how you found lizards in tavern, I blocked all heroes with them. The trick is to retreat on neutral monster so you get Wystan with 1 lizard in tavern - then that one lizard and nothing else can join those legions on map due to having Sympathy at 2.
The point of this map was to show that it is possible to join large armies with just a single unit.

Now I'm confused too. I remember that lots of those small groups of neutrals that were first hostile joined me for money and I kicked the a$$ of the evil eyes with those troops has fooder. At a certain point I had 17 hydras but I believe that even with the Angelic Alliance, I never got power superior to 4000 lizardwarriors...

Yes, but with 17 hydras and high A/D you can increase Strength Factor from -3 to -2, what makes joining lizards possible.

I tried the way you said. It's possible to finnish in less then 10 days.
Day 3 I already had more then 28.000 lizards, after that every thing is a peace of cake. I undestand now why so many players want to play only with savage monsters.
If you have a witch hut with diplomacy near one of your towns and there is a week of a creature you have easy access you can easly assemble an unbeatable army.
It's almost (almost) as good as to have Vidonima with the Cloack. My, (so often realized) dream.

Cloak of the Undead King is drastically better than diplomacy and pretty much everything in the game. You can convert all neutral stacks into liches with absurd efficiency using high level necromancy specialist. The only instance when Cloak can lose vs diplomacy is playing a dragon template (Clash of Dragons, Frozen Dragons) - then hundreds of dragons of each type could stand a chance. It's very unlikely that necro player would allow that though.

They are 1v1 multiplayer templates though. To make them work with XXL patch, open rmg.txt file with program like Excel and change value in "Maximum size" to 98.

Thank you.
Is your version of Jebus Dragons a 1x1 also? I found the link a few minutes ago.

Can be played 1v1, but there will be many hard to reach zones (former starting areas for computers) taking map space. If you wanna play 1v1 dragon template, Clash of Dragons is best bet. IMO Frozen Dragons is way too closed to make it attractive - interaction with opponent is practically impossible until week 4 or 5, while on CoD action starts around week 3. That's assuming you play versus relatively good opponent, since CoD is a rather hard template (good dwellings are a lot rarer compared to Jebus, while fights are harder).

Can I ask for some indications on how to force the generator to use a specific template?
The only way I can think about is to delete all others from folder but is probably the wrong way.

Download some/all templates from that link and place them in any folder-for further usage-. When you want to use one of them, put it out of folder, rename it to rmg.txt and place in your data folder (if playing an era mod, will be ThemodIplaynow/Data, if regular Heroes will be Heroes 3/Data).
And as it says, if you want to play XXL maps with, open template in Excel or textedit, change value in "Maximum size" column to 98. Is easy.

Most likely he's using the HD mod just like every one else, in that case it's best to put map templates in Heroes 3 or Era 2 Folder/_HD3_Data/Templates. That way they can be chosen from the HD mod's template menu.

HD sucks with wog/era. Several incompatibilities, I never use it because of that.

I use it all the time. It crashes like once in every 2-3 hour, nothing vital. And there is the possibility those crashes would have happened without the HD mod considering the many Era mods I use, anyway.

Looking for the best map played.
I have searched maps on all the main hit sites without being able to find what i consider the best played.
The map had 7-8 heroes with above and underground levels. Towards the center of the above ground map it was cursed ground with unclaimed towns gaurded by faerie dragons.
There were minimum of 10 dragon utopias and halls of enlightments.
In the center was your second hero trapped by color border guard. The game always took me minimum of 6 ingame months to actually win it was that hard.
If anyone knows of this map please god tell me and i will bow before you.

I'm not playing Era at moment.
I'm following your advises and trying to learn to play with vanilla. Yesterday I've finish a random map I didn't even opened, for the first time since I discovered there is a maps editor almost fiftheen years ago.
And now u say that to use "Invite hero" (that I used) is a Major Cheat. And I have to agree, invite six +350 heroes and the resource producer of your main town special resource is cheating.
But I will keep on trying. Maybe in another 15 years...
