A program for determining luck/morality in Heroes 3!

By the way, no one answered my question about what the statement that the unmodified cranim file also affects the game's mechanics is based on. And is it really true?

Are you talking about this statement?

Initially, cranim.txt is embedded in the game's resource files and is inaccessible to the player. But someone extracted it, modified it, and uploaded it to HP.
So, those who downloaded cranim from the Portal also unknowingly made changes to the mechanics of morale and luck.

I think AlexSpl meant that even extracting, speeding up movement, and returning it to its original state is already a change to the program's structure and an influence on its operation (i.e., on morale and luck as well). And the fact that the influence actually turned out to be zero for everything except speed is a consequence of the intelligence of the person who did it, although for certainty, it needs to be compared with the original. This was a philosophical hint that even using cranim from the Portal is not entirely correct in form, although in essence, it doesn't change anything.

I think I can prove it to players who are not familiar with programming but are familiar with mathematics.

That's great. Not everyone knows assembly language (I know a little, so I don't need to be proven anything)
