As for changing level 4 spells for heroes and other things, these are just details. I'm in favor of either eliminating this freebie or prohibiting the use of spells until the magic tower of the required level is built (as it was in the online version!). Also, it would be better to immediately prohibit adding monsters – it would be more interesting and fairer!
And so, the much-praised balance of the 3 heroes has finally been addressed, about which I've heard so much on this forum – prohibiting this, not using that, etc.
Because of this, I don't play any serious online Competitive games; I just can't enjoy a game that has been castrated (even for the sake of balance). Although I would like to test my skills...
P.S. Sorry for butting in on the topic...
P.P.S. The licensed Heroes 3: The Shadow of Death version on one disc is version 3.0. Download patch 3.0-3.2 from this site, then the WoG version 3.58f (I think), then TE, and install them one after another. It is recommended to read the readme files to help with the installation. Everything installed perfectly for me. For those who have the complete collection of Heroes and their version 4.0, I can only sympathize, as I haven't found a way to patch them yet.
Sincerely, Alan.
