HoMM3 HD is a mod (add-on) for the game Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

Captain, I hope that after you try the future 3.0 beta 11, or later versions, you will change your mind.

Well, and if you don't like the display of movement points, the inability to peek, password-protected saves, the inability to sell artifacts at an inflated price, hiring not only pikemen in camps, protection against map glitches (the appearance of split heroes, gray cities, heroes controlled by multiple players), a quick start with the desired RMG configuration, road customization,
then you can always disable the Tournament module and play your favorite
SoD, but with an expanded interface (which will be more convenient than SoD with Lightbringer in any case).

Yesterday, I fixed the original desynchronization and glitches when starting a new game between the host and the other players, and for this, it will be enough for the host to have HD. Now, you won't have to wait for the second player to join the host, but you can immediately make the necessary settings. Together with the template selection, memorable last RMG settings, and alliance customization, this will make the game start faster, more convenient, and more enjoyable.
