Looking for H3 challenge map that utilizes Dimension Door
DD is one of my most favorite spell in the game. I also love playing user-made custom challenge maps such as Empire of the World. However, many of such maps bans DD because it can easily break the story progress or balance. It is pity since it renders Air Magic useless. Of course there are many existing maps where DD isn't banned but I like to experience a good quality map where DD is cleverly utilized a lot during the playthrough. Few maps offers DD at the beginning (such as To Kill for a Power) but soon becomes inaccessible. Several maps offers DD at the very end of the game so you don't have much useful tile for using it.

But you must be aware about situation that when AI uses DD, AI turns last soooooo long. Ang game became annoying, not challening.

Yeah it is true, but usually AI isn't allowed DD in such maps. Besides, I don't think the AI is smart enough to use it anyways, it maybe impossible to design such map without breaking the boundaries. I was meaning that only the player has access to the DD.

Usually Dimension Door and Fly are end of map rewards. You can check Lord of War for Armageddon Blade as you will get good chance to roll Angel Wings, Tome of Air or Spellbinder Hat.

There isn't such map and there will not be any. The main problem is the generous mechanics allowing DD to teleport the hero in not yet visible areas, which would require from the mapmaker billions of calculations and also fill half of the map with unpassable decorations. Another is the ridiculous tiny mana cost for what it offers, it should be raised to hundreds of mana points, but then you will have same pattern, it will become available only late game.
I understand how addicting this spell can be, but think at it from same perspective as diplomacy, another broken powerful feature.

heroes_player, the best possible recommendation is "The Last Crusade". You can use not only DD, but also fly and angel wings in that map a lot. Anyway all that is a content of quite late stages of the game.
Or maybe if you want to play against AI using DD actively then "First Blood" will be a good choice.
