Ah, Alexander! Let's think logically. Why would I reinstall a perfectly functioning "Heroes" game, which was cleanly installed just this spring (before that, there were some "unofficial" versions)? If everything works except for the WoG version of your map? The reason is likely due to some WoG-related issues. And I have the game installed on two computers: an old one with Win'ME and a new one with Win'XP. I installed it cleanly on the new one and copied it to the old one. Since then, I've played hundreds of hours, so don't talk nonsense... And before that, I had been playing "Heroes 3" for several years, so I'm not a newbie. And I've read a lot of material about installation, including in the latest "Vestnik Geroev" No. 3 (June 2010).
And don't falsely accuse me: I have both the SoD installer and a fast internet connection.
Now let's figure this out. You write:
When I launched SoD (Heroes3.exe) after 3.58f was installed on it, the commander icon appeared in the hero screen.
Although I already know this, I specifically checked. Here's the hero window in SoD and WoG (see below). There is NO commander in SoD! And he's not on the battlefield either!
Here's what my Heroes folder looks like (see below).
When installing, WoG does not replace the SoD executable and the map editor - it adds its own! The SoD icon is a face under a hood, and the WoG icon is an eye! Therefore, you can launch either SoD or WoG as desired.
So, either you're confusing something, or you have some strange "Heroes."
I'll read more about what others have to say on this topic - here and on the WoG forum.
Talarasha, could you provide more details: what edition of "Heroes 3" do you have, what patches, what WoG, and what Russian language pack are installed?
