Hello everyone! Could you please provide a link to a complete list of hotkeys in Heroes? I looked in the manual, but I couldn't find it. I would be grateful, especially if it includes any new keys for the new version.
The "P" key allows you to direct the shots of mages and liches in the desired direction. It is also used for casting spells for mythical dragons. While holding down the Alt key in battle, you can perform an alternative action (fight hand-to-hand instead of shooting, or attack harpies without returning; this function is also activated by the added button in the lower panel). The remaining "hotkeys" are either standard or are features of the HD mod.

I haven't seen a complete list of original Heroes hotkeys anywhere. In fact, there are many of them, and some are not well-known. Some information can be found here: http://homm3sod.ru/keys/
For the HD mod, the hotkeys are described on its website: https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/rus/description/extended-ui

For the new version, there are the following new hotkeys:

Adventure Map:
— Holding Alt allows you to see the length of the path (in movement units) of the current hero to different cells on the map (displayed in the bottom bar and by right-clicking).
— Holding Shift allows you to select a hero by clicking on it on the map (even if another hero is currently selected).

Town Window:
— E — hotkey for trading between heroes.

Battle:
— G — hotkey for the spells of the Fairy Dragon and the area attack of the Magog, Lich, and Mighty Lich. The original hotkey F for Fairy Dragons is no longer active.
— Alt — hotkey for switching the stack's action (melee attack/ranged attack, return/do not return after attack, attack/spell, move/spell).

Thanks, Sav! By the way, in earlier versions of the HD mod, there was an option to quickly switch to the desired hero when transferring troops/artifacts using simple arrows: left arrow – left hero; right arrow – right hero! It was very helpful in blitz matches. They removed it with an update. And now you have to use the mouse to find the button every time. It takes a lot of time.

Now this option is available; I just tested it. In one of the HD versions after integrating HW_Rulez, there was a bug with the not entirely correct operation of the arrow keys (possibly, this bug existed in HW_Rulez before, I don't know for sure), but now it has been fixed.

Yes, that's right, everything works, thank you. I also downloaded it and tested it on the latest version, and everything is fine!

I don't remember my lobby password. How can I recover it?

You need to send a private message to Baratortch; he can reset the password. Only he has this ability.

By the way, it's not good that all this functionality depends on one person. At least someone else should have similar options as a backup, in case Baratortch gets busy or goes on a long trip.

Why not implement a password recovery option via email or phone, as is common in many systems?

Currently, the online lobby is officially considered a beta version. I think, sooner or later, everything will be as it should be.

Yes, this issue definitely needs to be addressed.

In the game, there is an artifact called "Amulet for Protection against Lightning and Chain Lightning."
Could you add a similar artifact to the game, such as "Amulet for Protection against Armageddon?"
After the removal of Counterspell and Cloak of Disruption, the Armageddon spell has become very powerful in the game.

And also, to slow things down :D

Added 5 minutes later
By the way, I've been suggesting this idea for a while. Heroes needs more artifacts with random effects. For example, +(1-4) to attack or protection from a random spell (determined at the moment the artifact is picked up/the map is generated). This would make it worthwhile to look for similar artifacts of better quality. :rolleyes:

Are there any plans to buff Inferno? Nowadays, only masochists start with it in online games.

Why don't you suggest playing a match for stakes against someone with a rating of 1700++? They play Inferno, and you play any other faction... ;)

Just make sure you have enough cash on hand :D
