A program for calculating the strength of the guard on random maps in Heroes of Might and Magic III, called H3CalcGuards.

Hello everyone!

Thanks to Sav, I received the source code for the calculator and added a new mode called "Pandora's Box Calculator Mode." It allows you to determine possible Pandora's Boxes based on the guarding creatures. The mode is enabled by a checkbox in the upper left corner.

A typical example of use:

You see a Pandora's Box and 2 Mercurials guarded by 10-19 Gold Dragons.

You need to enter 10-19 in the "Guard Size" field and select "Monster Type" as Gold Dragon.

Next, you need to add 2 Mercurials to the standard "Object Group" field on the right. (IMPORTANT: do not add any Pandora's Boxes to this block; only add other objects guarding it, if any).

As a result, the block on the left will display Pandora's Boxes that match this guard.

There may be quite a few of them. After an attack, it is recommended to specify the exact number in the "Guard Size" field, for example, 12-12. After this, the number of possible Pandora's Boxes may decrease.

In my opinion, this makes it much easier to determine what might be inside a Pandora's Box.

P.S.: Don't forget to specify the Zone Type and the number of zones, as this is important for Pandora's Boxes containing creatures.

P.P.S.: It should also work for Soda.

Thanks again to Sav!
