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

Why are you trying so hard to plan everything out, to ban, to exclude? This is a game, and there should be an element of randomness. If you want balance, play chess or checkers. All existing games are descendants of chess, which has been played for centuries. It would be better to think about a new tournament and a new set of templates for it. Create an RTA map, etc. ... It's not worth repeating the mistakes of the fifth game, where you couldn't review your game based on the moves. However, it would be good to implement an auto-counter in the save file or a separate counter file that tracks how many times the file has been opened.
