I really wanted to play against someone other than the AI in Heroes of Might and Magic III. But all my friends and acquaintances who wanted to play the third game only agreed to play in a team against the AI. Ugh! First, we played in a team on one computer, taking turns, then over a LAN. Once, we didn't finish a game over the LAN and figured out how to create a virtual LAN and play through Hamachi. And that's when I thought, maybe I'm not the only one who wants to play Heroes of Might and Magic III against other people, not in a team against the AI. I tried searching the internet. I found a link to this website where people were arranging online games of Heroes of Might and Magic III. I installed ICQ, messaged someone, and we played. I, of course, lost; he wrote a report and asked for confirmation. I had to register.
