You should also keep in mind that you will need to install a small patch for SoD to unlock the Conflux and gain the ability to create random maps in the editor itself.
What patch? I've never heard of it.
I have a standalone editor, but how do I

*distinguish WoG objects from SoD objects?
It's not a patch, but you need additional files. Create empty files h3blade.exe - in the root of the game, and in the Data folder - h3ab_ahd.snd, h3ab_ahd.vid, h3ab_bmp.lod, h3ab_spr.lod.

Hello, fellow countryman!
The translation and font are much better in "Death and Decay" (SoD), but after installing the HD mod with the Russian superpack on "Complete Collection," it also looks decent. The map editor has the same translation as the game. Also, keep in mind that you will need to install a small patch for SoD to unlock the Conflux and gain the ability to create random maps in the editor itself.
But WoG can only be installed on SoD.
There is also a standalone WoG/SoD editor that has a number of additional features for map creators. It simply unpacks from the archive into a separate folder and works independently of the game, even if it is not installed on the PC. I have given the link to it many times before; you can search for it on the site or Google it.
I've long heard about the wonderful Russian SoD, which, for me personally, has long acquired mythical features. I suspect that a large number of those who recommend the Russian SoD actually play the English version. Or they definitely install the HD mod.
The Russian SoD from Buku is a bit strange, let's say. First, there is no patch from 3.1 to 3.2, and second, the game does not load TXT files in the Data directory, as normal versions of the game do. Third, the fonts are really terrible - they are small, with serifs, and many letters are easily confused at a distance (for example, "и" and "н").
The fonts in Armageddon's Blade and Chronicles look good visually, but I don't like their style.
The fonts in the English SoD are excellent; it's a pity that they didn't use them in the Russian versions.

I'm a newbie, help me! What should I choose - SoD or Complete Collection? The most important thing for me is the map editor (which version has the best one?), stability, and good HD mod support (can you please provide a link to the mod?) and WoG (in the future).
SoD or COMPLETE?

And the translation.
The translation - it's a matter of personal preference; some prefer SoD, others prefer Complete Collection. If you are going to install the HD mod, then the latest versions of the HD mod are not suitable for SoD - the mana points are not displayed in battles. In version 2.98f, everything is fine. You can install the latest versions of the HD mod on Complete Collection; it seems to work fine.
