Good day to all. I've been playing Heroes 3 for a long time, but I haven't played against other players online yet. To avoid getting thoroughly beaten, deeply offended, and permanently discouraged, I'm diligently studying all the nuances of the online game. But everywhere, absolutely everywhere, a bunch of questions arise. Some answers are found immediately, while others require extensive searching through the forums. Some information is already outdated and irrelevant, and for some questions, you can't find anything at all... Since there are many masters of the game on the forum, perhaps some of the pros, who have free time, could create a so-called "Guide to Online Play for Beginners", which could be placed in the header, moderated, and updated as needed. This would significantly ease the lives of many beginners and instill "faith in a bright future."
It would be possible to outline everything according to a specific template, inserting links to relevant posts and adding "basic truths" for complete newbies. For example, I have the following questions/suggestions:

In general, I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I would be simply happy to receive such support :smile43:
- Stage 1: We agree on the game - a link to the topic where we agree, what versions of the game players should have for a joint game, what mods, HDmod settings (where to put the checkmarks, what to enable, etc.) to be supplemented
- Stage 2: Choosing services for online play (a link to the topic where it is described), your current comments, priority/reliability, nuances of settings, typical errors, alternative methods to be supplemented
- Stage 3: Choosing a game template (link) (mandatory comments: which ones are recommended for beginners, quick games, long development, explain what the game type means: fun game, for reporting, tournament...); what starting conditions can be set: Castle, hero, bonus, how are they agreed upon; should a timer be set (what are the standard times for different templates); how to connect HW game rules, is it worth doing it at all? to be supplemented
- Stage 4: How to request/make a restart; how to set protection on saves; how to protect yourself from cheating; how to stop/continue the game; do players communicate during the game, and if so, how; to be supplemented
- Stage 5: Where and why to write about the result of the game; where to complain about controversial moments, is it worth doing it; how to exchange/review the opponent's save; to be supplemented
- And general recommendations for beginners: manuals, tips, notes (I would really like to get a two-page memo of the main nuances from the masters, such as: "Always wear speed boots and gloves at night and change them to other bonus items in the morning"; "For a trip to the Dungeon, you need to have at least these troops..., arranged in these slots..." etc.), game streams; recommendations for familiarization. As many links as possible to the forum for each question, but also your own "life" comments as much as possible.
