 Map version:
 Homm3-RoE, AB and SoD

 Medium, two-level.
 
 Map difficulty:
 Expert. This map is different from most others, so
 those who are best at battles will find it easier
 than  those specialized in long-term strategies.

 Should be played at Impossible. (There is no
 resource management, except that you may need some
 Gold and a Gem or two)
 
 Map Type:
 Singleplayer; 1 Human Only and 7 Computer Only.
 
 Language:
 English. My apologies if it is bad sometimes, but
 it's my second language.
 
 Description:
 The king has been poisoned. The witches are trying
 to create a cure- the Ring of Vitality, but they 
 need one more item in order to do so- the Tome of 
 Fire. It has fallen upon you to find it.
 
 Special Win:
 Transport Artifact.
 
 Special Loss:
 Time Limit: Month 11, week 4, day 7
 Also, you'll only get one hero, and should he die,
 the game will be lost. 
 
 Narrative:
 The king of Skara is dying. The Inner Circle of
 Witches has put him under a powerful enchantment
 which lets him live longer, but it only last for 
 six months. Only the Ring of Vitality can save 
 him now. It has fallen upon you to find it and 
 transport it to his  capital Vara before the time
 runs out.
 
 Special Other:
 
 1. I have hidden the parts needed for the Angelic
 Alliance on the map. See if you can find them.
 Pretty hard to do so, but the map will 
 probably be impossible without them.
 
 2. Read all events and seer's texts carefully. You
 will get instructions there.
 
 3. Visit every location that you can, if you need
 it. You never know when the next well will come;)
 
 4. There is no need for you to visit the obelisks.
 The grail is inaccessible, and I have placed some
 obelisks where you won't find them.
 
 5. Always give the seers what they want. You won't
 be able to beat the map otherwise. There are some
 seers that wants a list of artifacts. These quests
 doesn't have to be done, but the rewards are useful.
 
 6. Fight all the demons in the black forest. You
 need the experience.
 
 7.Some skills have been ruled out, due to not being
 useful: Diplomacy, Eagle Eye, Estates, Fire Magic,
 First Aid, Learning, Mysticism, Navigation, 
 Pathfinding, Scholar and Scouting. Logistics 
 might be useful to get some extra time but there
 are other skills that might be better.
 
 8. Spells that have been banned are: Fly, Dimension
 Door, Town portal, View Earth/Air and Visions. You
 should only be able to get Summon Boat and Water 
 Walk at two places each, and should only use 
 them when you are told to (or at one special 
 location). You will understand when to do so.
 
 9. Do not sacrifice the Boots of Levitation, parts
 of the Angelic Alliance or artifacts you get from
 the seers at altars of sacrifice. The other artifacts 
 may be sacrificed, but there may be rewards for 
 keeping them.
 
 10. Don't expect too much out of the storyline. I'm
 not much of an author.

 11. You have two heroes to choose from- a Beastmaster 
 and a Witch. For an easier time, pick the 
 beastmaster- he starts with tactics, which is a 
 great aid.

 1. Resurrection is your friend. It could prove
 impossible to finish the map without Earth Magic. If
 you get the chance to take it, do so(if you look 
 around, you will be able to get it without having 
 to rely on the random skills).
 
 2. Fights that might look impossible to win without
 heavy losses, can be easily won with proper tactics.
 
 3. Always fight to minimize losses. Even though you
 have a large starting army, your stats are those of
 a new hero.
 
 4. Try not to rely too much on damage spells in
 battles. It might be necessary sometimes, but they
 use up lots of mana.

 1. In the black forest, the place were the legacy
 is, is straight under the seer's hut.
 
 2. Part one of the Angelic Alliance is in the forest
 near your home.
 
 3. You will get part two from the seer in the Demon
 Forest.
 
 4. I have hidden an ore mine under cursed ground
 near the northmost Necropolis, and a part of the
 Angelic Alliance is only accessible through it.
 
 5. Part Four is hidden behind the northernmost
 Necropolis. You can access it through the Magic
 Spring.
 
 6. Part Five is hidden in the ocean before the AW's
 house- use scuttle/summon boat to get rid of the
 boat, and waterwalk out to the artifact
 
 7. Part Six is hidden near the return portal in the
 archipelago. Shouldn't be to hard to find.
 
 8. The Sea captain's hat is hidden behind the
 mountain range in the ocean. Could be good to grab,
 you never know when you will find a whirlpool;)
 
 9. I also have hidden a artifact in Demon Forest,
 but I won't give you the location, as it isn't
 necessary to have it.
 
 10. The fight against Malta is much about which
 spells to cast- slow and implosion are the most
 useful while Ice Bolt and bless also are useful.
 
 11. The fight against the Fire lady might look
 impossible to win without heavy losses, but try to
 lock up one of the stacks were it can't reach you 
 and begin casting resurrection.
 
 12. The parts of the sharpshooter's bow have 
 been scattered and hidden in the elven forest.
 
 13. In the Demon forest, try walking out of the back
 of the seer's hut.
