Hello.
Does anyone know where to find a walkthrough for the map "A Journey to the Unknown"? I haven't been able to find anything about it. I want to play it, but I can't seem to get started. The only solution I've come up with is to stay in the castle and build up an army. But I don't believe that's the only option. Please advise.

I started playing it once, but I stopped when I accidentally found an object with a modified appearance: if you notice it in time, you won't have to wander around aimlessly, and who knows what's next? I don't like things like that.
Here is some information about the map and walkthrough; in general, it was definitely discussed somewhere before.

I started playing it once, but I gave up when I accidentally found an object with a modified appearance: if you notice it in time, you won't have to stand around doing nothing, and who knows what's next? I don't like things like that.

Thank you. I was hoping for something interesting based on these descriptions. But it turned out to be very tedious. You gather troops to get out. I only reached the first enemy in the 6th month and gave up. It didn't become more interesting.

:smile15: Guys, sorry, but I'd like a link to the multiplayer game.

I didn't express myself clearly - I'd like to know about online play and also how to add an avatar. Something like that.

You can edit your avatar and other personal information in your profile:
Control Panel (the second item in the top menu of the site).
There are two main sections for online play here:
Heroes 3 Tournament - Tournaments for Heroes 3 - ONLINE
Reference and tutorial materials for HoMM3 online players

As I understand it, do I need to resize the image to a specific resolution?

You won't believe it, but there's text in Russian down there:

Warning: Maximum size is 155x155 pixels or 32.0 KB.

So, if your avatar is larger, you need to either crop it or reduce its size.

I cropped it and reduced it to 150 pixels, but it still doesn't work.

I asked about how to play online, and you provided a link to a place where people arrange games, but there's nothing about how to get started. Can you tell me about that or provide a link to where it's explained?

What does "Nifiga" mean? Is it some kind of error when loading an avatar?
There are many tutorial videos for online games; here are some of the best and most detailed:
Tutorial video for "Heroes" (by Twaryna):
Heroes 3. Tutorial #1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey37jwXD8Gc
Heroes 3. Tutorial #2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6EGdKRM7uY
Heroes 3. Tutorial #3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd7GlmOmhOQ
Heroes 3. Tutorial #4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aWJhGKhAvk
I only play offline myself, completing single-player maps, so I can't help much with this.

Hello, I haven't been playing for very long. Please help me with a few questions: 1) Is there a difference if I have two archers with 10 units each or one with 20 units? 2) Is there a difference in which side I attack the enemy from? 3) How does Hota differ from WOG? What would you recommend?

1) depends on which hostile troops you will be fighting and whether you have expert magic. For example, if a dragon attacks archers, one stack of archers cannot shoot, while another can. 2) there is no difference. 3) HOTA and WOG are mods; WOG appeared earlier, but HOTA is closer to the original (fewer changes): mainly, it's a new town (Cove) and everything related to it. And also, in HOTA, the grass is greener (this is my favorite joke). :) More details: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_III:_In_the_Wake_of_Gods https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_III:_Horn_of_the_Abyss I can only advise one thing: FIRST learn to play confidently in The Restoration of Erathia or The Shadow of Death, and only then, if you want, move on to HOTA or WOG.

I was working on a map and suddenly everything crashed. The map is no longer visible in the folder, but when I try to open it through the editor, the editor doesn't open the map and displays "Invalid or corrupted map file." I'm playing on WOG 3.58f. Is it possible to restore the map somehow? I have the "create backup before saving" option enabled, but I can't find the backup file anywhere. >I managed to restore the map to the folder with some tricks, but I still can't open it in the editor or in the game.

I want to give some advice for the future. When creating a map, I make a lot of intermediate saves. The number of them is several dozen. Do the same. Intermediate maps can have names like these: Good to go 2a, Good to 2b, Good to go 2c, Good to go 3c, and so on until the map is finished. Map files have a small size, which is very beneficial.
