The maps are not probably very challenging for a hardened HOMM III veterans, who expect tight puzzles and something beyond 'regular gameplay' of HOMM III but I warmly recommend anyone who wants a few new straight-forward XL maps for his/hers HOMM III map-collection to give them a try for the fun. These have been made since the year 2011- for my own fun and kicks and purely as a hobby, for I am big HOMM II and III enthusiast, During the years I grew frustrated that there were so few XL-size maps for HOMM III which were well balanced, straight-to-the-point, without too much focus on overly extensive story-line (maps like this have their place, too, but the selection on good straight-forward XL maps hasn't been very good). I've finally decided to push these couple of my self-made maps out for everyone to play.
