Where did people learn to play Heroes?

I apologize in advance if I'm bringing up an old topic, but it's quite interesting, and I think it's relevant to everyone. After all, the stories of the first encounter with "Heroes" are always memorable. For example, Heroes 2 was the first game I ever played on a computer. Before I had a computer, I used to go to computer clubs with friends and play various shooters and RTS games of that time. I got a computer at home quite late, when I was already finishing school. After buying a computer, I couldn't immediately afford to buy games, but a friend gave me a disc with a game that was completely incomprehensible to me at the time. I happily launched the game and experienced deep disappointment. The graphics didn't seem as beautiful as I had expected, and it wasn't clear how to play at all. I hadn't encountered this genre before. Without really playing, Heroes 2 was put on a shelf. I would occasionally return to this game in the future, and after figuring out the basics of the gameplay, the most interesting part began. I played through the campaign, but literally on the third week, a computer-controlled Hero came to my territory... and I was facing imminent defeat. Gradually, I moved away from this game, becoming interested in others, until I accidentally saw Heroes 3, The Restoration of Erathia, for sale in a store. The game captivated me; it's hard to say how much. And the development of internet technologies allowed me to find information about the game online. Reading various forums (including the famous "Heroes 3 School" on the League of Heroes website), I played through all the scenarios, Campaigns, and developed my gaming skills. Gradually, I bought all the parts, from 1 to 4. As a result, I became a devoted fan of the series. Although I don't participate in Tournaments, I still love playing various Maps in "Heroes 3," which is always installed on my computer, and Heroes 5. Heroes is a great game!
