SoD_SP plugin.

Mod Description ©:
SoD_SP is a plugin for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death (SoD) that can be used with the HD mod. It adds a number of features aimed at improving the user and game interface while preserving the original game mechanics, fixes a number of critical and minor bugs, and also allows you to restore (optionally) the effect of some game bugs that were fixed in HD+.
Important!!! The plugin is intended only for single-player games and disables access to multiplayer.

At any point in the game, you can open the SoD_SP options settings window (F12) and the color settings window (Ctrl + F12). The settings are also available by editing the text file "SoD_SP.ini", which is located in the mod folder.
The mod is available in 5 languages.
Russian language: to set up the Russian language after installation, open the file "SoD_SP.ini", which is located in the folder "Your_Heroes3_Directory\_HD3_Data\Packs\SoD_SP" and edit the tweak SoD_SPLanguage = 1 (1 = Russian language)

Here, almost only online players live, that is, they always play online.
They won't even peek in and try it out out of curiosity.:smile01:

rebellious, have you read the "Walkthrough of author's maps" thread recently? This plugin is used very extensively there.

Besides, it implements "initiative" (dialogue of turn order). At least for that, it's worth checking out the mod.
