A hero without an army at the start.

Hello to all fans of the game.
Actually, since the game is as old as I am, I spent my childhood playing it. And I recently found an interesting bug in the game's mechanics:
You can remove the last unit slot from any hero at any point in the game without using any programs, in any version of the game.

Since the penalties for hero movement are calculated based on the speed of the units in the army, if there are no units, the hero will move the maximum distance.

So, here's a quick life hack on how I did it:
1. Create a map.
2. Choose a hero and leave them without an army.
3. Move this hero to a town, leaving them in the bottom row (hero - guest).
4. Open the kingdom overview.
5. By clicking on the city icon at the bottom right, you can remove the last unit from the guest hero. And the game won't complain that there are no more troops.
6. GOOD JOB :smile12: :smile20:

P.S. I don't know why the game's mechanics allow you to remove troops, but it works. It really helps with gathering resources. However, remember that you will automatically lose any battle!

Surprisingly, I didn't find this bug on YouTube, so I'll leave a link to the video where I demonstrate it.

I would also like to immediately propose a discussion:
Add the possibility of heroes without an army to the tournament rules for Heroes 3. Since this really makes the game easier, it can be implemented in any game, and it's just as useful as the program for splitting units: those who know about it can use it. Everyone is on equal footing
