"HW rulez" mod (add-on) for HoMM3.

Thank you for the feedback and testing. I support the idea about making the game more varied, although, of course, everyone has their own opinion, and it's difficult to please everyone. Some people want to see it more as a competitive discipline, while others enjoy playing with a single stack without a ballista. To each their own. I'm more of a programmer than a player, and I mostly play for fun. For example, personally, I would like to play more against other players than against the map. Regarding balance, I won't express my opinion, as this has been discussed for years. If you want, and if you have ideas on how to make the gameplay more varied, while still keeping the heroes playable and appealing to most players, feel free to share them. Technically, a lot can be implemented. Regarding the infinite number of checkboxes, I agree with Toga, so if we add them in the future, we will try to keep it to a minimum. Of the proposed ideas, I liked the strengthening of secondary skills, changing the percentage on the 2nd level for different castles, and the random distribution of stacks at the start. But, as you understand, this should be a more coordinated action, with more specific details about the changes, so that most people support them, etc. If anyone has the time and desire, open a thread, create polls, discuss ideas, and how to implement them. If they mature enough for further implementation, I can offer free time from my real-life commitments to implement them.

Does anyone else have their antivirus software blocking the download, or is it just me?

Yes, unfortunately, there is such a problem with Kaspersky... I wrote to them specifically, but they said that everything is fine on their end, and there are no viruses. For now, I don't know how to bypass this, so the only solution for now is to add an exception for this mod in the antivirus.
