[HoMM3] Musical Castles

[St Leo]

I've playtested this map thoroughly myself a year or so ago, but I need an impartial third person to do it in order to submit it to the http://www.astralwizard.com/ archive.

It's a map of the geometric sort and I think it's above average.

St Leo- perhaps with your moderator powers, you should move this to the OTHER GAMES section

-and sadly I think the Astral Wizard stopped updating.
Have you tried Celestial Heavens or H3Trio?

I'll test it gladly as soon as I acquire the FULL game

Okay, I tested the map... Not thoroughly, but here's what happened.

In week I- 2 colors were eliminated... playing as Confluxes.

Then I did something really stupid... I recruited an army in my first city rather than supplying my common army with it- therefore I sat without an army or more than 2000 gold per turn and had 3...then 2 castles...

I suppose the map is all right.

But perhpas you could add some powerups in a special area or make certain Kingdoms powerful in different ways- they have different bonuses: built up castle, etc.

its here because Leo is trying to prove the point that the SL is not only civ2

[DarkCloud]

... Of course

Leo- if you want, I'll write a full review- but only if you fully playtest MY map in the Othergames section

[St Leo]

Sorry about not replying earlier. I don't actually have HoMM installed right now and I am not interested in updating Musical Castles further.

I'll check out Other Games.

...Well, you'll probably need to install HoMM to playtest my game

-
As your scenario is right now-
I'd rate it a
0 For story
Normal to Hard for challenge... at least for Average Skilled players
And as for innovation--- If it had differences in the areas, I would rate it higher, but as this is the first map of its kind, I'll rate it a 5

A few changes would make this a stellar map
As it is; it's a fairly average Battle Map
A new idea in the realm of battle maps (or so I suppose) but fairly standard in its implementation
