W tym miesiącu swoją premierę miała najnowsza wersja prawdopodobnie najobszerniejszej mapy do Heroes III HotA. Całość była tworzona przez wiele lat, od rysunkowej koncepcji z lat młodości autora po Warownię dodaną w ostatniej aktualizacji. Mapka jest bazowana na wyspie Lincolna z powieści Juliusza Verne'a. Warto ją przetestować nawet jeśli nie znacie fabuły tej książki, niemniej jej czytelnicy wyłapią więcej smaczków.

Papyjama przygotował dodatkowo specjalną wiadomość (wyświetlaną pierszego dnia) dla polskich graczy oraz grafikę promocyjną. W pakiecie poniżej znajduje się wersja mapki z sojuszem i solo.


Edit: Mapka dostała małą aktualizację. Lista zmianMinor Patch 1.5.c - 23 January 2026
====================================

NEW
---
- Added 2 repeatable quests allowing conversion of "Armor of the Damned" and "Ironfist of the Ogre" artifacts into 750,000 XP.
- Added custom Hero "Mitchave" (replaces Fiona), first content creator playing the Inferno faction (Orange). Only Conflux (Teal) remains if a content creator wants their custom hero on the map.
Bulwark (Blue) and Castle (Purple) factions are reserved at this date. They will be "released" if content creators ultimately don't take on the challenge. List on the official HotA discord.
- Added 1 additional Orb of the Firmament and 1 additional Orb of Silt. There are now 2x of each Orb on the map, to avoid the (unlikely) case where AI would retrieve one before the player.
- A new Green Two Way Portal has appeared, to facilitate access to a quest for a special hero (optional).
- Added an additional hint encouraging Purple player to dig their beaches to prevent a premature invasion by Pink pirates...
- Added a new sign on a frozen island: "Greenland? Iceland? Ireland?..." (find it to read the rest)
- ALLIES version only: boosted AI of playable factions in King difficulty (even more than in solo / standard mode).

UPDATES
-------
- Events that restore movement in the Bloodbath teleporter area now directly restore ALL your movement points. It is no longer necessary to make back-and-forth trips on events to do +666 +666 +666 until reaching your maximum movement points.
Note: AI have their own event (Rook + Queen + King difficulty) that only gives +600 to avoid an "infinite loop" from an enemy hero going in circles.
- Skeleton Dragons (or Angels for Teal) in the Bloodbath area never flee anymore, to ensure the player retrieves the Wayfarer's Boots they give as reward when killed.
- Reworked all messages explaining each difficulty level on day 1. WARNING: Queen and King difficulties are BRUTAL.
- Updated Hall of Fame. NEW speedrun record by Hieu Tran: 54 days in King difficulty!

FIX
---
- Fixed several "favorable winds" events around "The Iron Bank" that only restored 6000 movement max instead of 60,000.
- Minor text corrections..
