I have the following problem.
My ADSL modem works in Routed mode. Therefore, the IP address 192.168.1.2 is the network IP. In order for me to be a server for players, they need to know the port I'm using to create the server, so that the modem can forward all clients connecting to that port to the external IP.
And so, the question is:

What port is used by default when creating a server (in Heroes 3, of course) over TCP/IP?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello!
I want to launch one of the third Heroes games on a rather old computer.
According to the system requirements, everything matches. But it doesn't recognize the disc.
Neither autorun works correctly, nor does attempting to open the disc through the file explorer.
I tried with "The Shadow of Death," which works fine on my modern computer.

Could it be an incompatibility with the CD drive?
Has anyone encountered this issue, and what would you recommend?:smile53:

For now, there's nothing specific...
Please provide more details...
Maybe you haven't reinstalled Windows in a long time...
Maybe your CD-ROM is malfunctioning...

I don't have this game, so I can't try different options. I just want to show the game to someone, but the computer is old. Other discs are read by the CD drive.

Is it possible to transfer resources to an ally? My ally is a friend, and we are playing together in multiplayer! Can I send him gold or ore? :confused:

Go to the market. Click the "Transfer Resources" button. Select the color of the allied faction's flag and click on it. Then choose which resources to transfer. Finally, click the "Transfer" button, and that's it.

How can I set it up so that my friend and I are on the same team, and the enemy players are each on their own, or at least so that the enemy players are also allies? :confused:

I found some commands in the map editor. There, it says in the game that the red and blue teams are allies. I join as red, and my friend can choose any color except blue! What should I do?

This is easily done without an editor. I understand that since you're using an editor, the map is new (you wouldn't want to modify someone else's masterpiece), and it's likely a random map. In the "random map" window (at the beginning of the game), this is set up very easily. If you're interested, I can help you.

Is there a way to find out what resources the AI ally will provide? Otherwise, I have to estimate based on its Castle, but there's no guarantee that the AI will actually build anything. (Difficulty 200%).

Do you mean, what resources he currently needs? I don't think it's possible to determine that exactly.

Do you mean, what resources does he need at the moment? I think it's impossible to determine that exactly.

If you're playing against the AI, this operation is pointless... but if you're in an alliance, he will send you resources, and you'll definitely see what resources he needs in the next window!

We were talking about an AI ally...

You need to pay closer attention! :)
