Gentlemen, for a long time now there has been a new version of Heroes 3 — TE. It is the same as the regular SoD (unlike WoG), only the bugs of SoD have been removed, and to speed up gameplay, the ability to transfer armies between heroes with a single button and the ability to split armies has been added

One should play TE (Tournament Edition) if only for its incomparably more convenient interface. Think about what you always lacked time for in Heroes. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority will say — most of the time is spent on transfers between heroes. Suppose we have six heroes involved in a transfer. All seven troop slots need to be transferred. Even with excellent mouse skills, you'll have to spend five seconds on each pair of heroes, and in the end, the transfer will take about half a minute. That's in a very good case. Often it is necessary to transfer not only troops but also artifacts, which increases the transfer time even further. In TE, for two heroes to swap troops, you only need to press one button. To transfer artifacts — another one. Thus, each exchange takes a second, maximum one and a half. Even very complex transfers involving 8-10 heroes do not take much time.
In second place for burning through ticking time is the separation of single units before battles. Same story — to separate one unit into five slots to remove retaliation, you need to click the mouse 10 times in different places. A good result here would also be about five seconds. In TE — just one press.
If in SoD I sometimes barely had enough of my 4 minutes just to move the way I wanted, then in TE my turn always takes no more than one or two minutes.
