3 human players co-op maps HOMM3?

Unread postby Pellevanten » 16 Dec 2009, 16:46

Hi, me and 2 friends often play HOMM3 hotseat together.
Problem is we havent found any 3 player co-op maps yet, are there any?
And if not, any other map recommendations for us to play together vs computer?
Problem is it almost always gets way to easy even on the hardest settings since comp play vs eachother while we dont fight against eachother.

You can always create a random map with 3 human players, some number of computer players and set teams to be 1 and 1.

GreatEmerald's advice (while basicly a solid one) comes with a small "but". The RMG can produce side-effects that are most unwelcome, for example areas entirely "shut down" or closed by obstacles such as rocks and trees, harbours rendered unuseable by reefs and rocks etc. Otherwise there are no major reasons why the RMG should not be used for this purpose.

If you wish to, you can always play "Tolkien's Middle-earth" by Yurian Stonebow. The version more suitable for co-operation type of playing will be the one that is not marked with "Allies" in its title. Ironic, I know. The one with "Allies" tag on it is in fact an older version (1.1) that should be removed from the map database. The other version is the ever so fine tuned 1.3 which adds a fifth human player position to go with.

In nutshell: "Tolkien's Middle-earth" version 1.3 features 5 allied human/CPU factions against 3 allied CPU only factions in the spirit of J.R.R Tolkien's masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings.

Ah, in some Complete packages, one folder is missing, though I don't remember what its name was. Maybe randommaps? Just create a folder that is missing and it will give you an option near the scenario selection.

Yeap, that's bad luck. Retry. You can also configure your rmg.txt file to include only those maps that you want and add new templates.

I am currently translating a Russian map called War with Evil into English. It's a 3 player Co-Op map. I should have it up on CH within the week.
