Seph · Posted: Mon May 22, 2006 12:45 am Post subject: Map of Xantheus

G's going to put up the legend for the map shortly, but my ubermap is now up in the maps page on the main website.

Few things to note:
over 3000 by 3000 resolution, so zoom waaaaayyyyy in cuz its mad detailed.
Made entirely in the map editor for Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete and MS Paint! (Wewt)
More to come soon, cuz these are fun but take a long time to get everything correct based on room descriptions.

God I love that game... I don't know why either, but it's so flipping fun for some reason. Takes so long to finish too... I can remember starting games at like 3pm and not going to bed before I beat it at 9am the next morning. I always liked playing the Undead faction, mostly due to the cool vampire lords and also for the huge numbers of skeletons you can raise over time if you have necromancy. Sending hundreds of weak ass skeletons to take on dragons was always so fun....

Oh... and the map looks good too Smile

Yeah Undead is my fav too... you need Charna tho for her Death Knight Specialty.

Unless you're playing expansion, where Elemental Conflux pwndizzles all. Then you need Pasis.

Me and my buddies would start hot-seat games with like 4 of us, get really drunk, save it, and load it up and repeat next weekend.
Games went for like 2 months hehehe Smile

Holy crap, we did the same thing... except without the drunk part cause we weren't old enough. But yea, the death knights were pretty handy what with the crit chance. We did play a lot of the expansion so my friend was constantly running around with bunches of phoenix units, but I never played them cause I thought they were lame Very Happy

We must have played for months before we figured out how amazing it was to find the holy grail or whatever it was called. From there on out we spent practically our entire existance running to obelisks and digging like madmen even if we didn't actually have an accurate location.

All this reminiscing is making me want to play... too bad I don't know where my cds are.

Hey, I was looking at the pictures in the Gallery section of the site and saw the name of the artist for Hydra was lost....

I'm thinking Nameless... mainly cause the signature matches all his other signatures on his other works? Plus the style is kinda exactly the same Very Happy
