I just want to say that it's quite logical that a Russian-language resource would prefer the Russian official version (after all, not everyone understands English). Similarly, in the USA, for example, hardly anyone has heard of the Russian localization.
The problem is that during localization (not just Russian, but any), errors can be added (and are unlikely to be corrected). Why does no one question the Polish or German version?

That's exactly what I'm saying! If, when comparing the English version with any other, errors are found, then it should be the "any other" version that is banned... This should be obvious!!! But instead, they banned English... :smile11:

Why doesn't anyone question the Polish or German versions?

Well, if Heroes had originally existed in German, Polish, or Swahili, I think many people would be playing them. The thing is, everyone played Heroes II and III long before Heroes VI came out. And when Heroes VI appeared, the possibility to compare arose. And many people didn't like Heroes VI. These many people still don't play it. I, for example, play Heroes III using the Heroes VI engine. But I play Heroes III only occasionally. No one will force me to play my Heroes II using the Heroes VI engine.

boasting about supporting pirates is quite strange.

I didn't notice any boasting there. This just confirms what I said about the fact that Heroes VI isn't readily available everywhere. Even in Ukraine. And in the Baltic states, as far as I know, it's very hard to find.

It's not easy to find a game that's almost 10 years old. And the fact that it's not sold in the Baltic states in no way justifies using a pirated copy. I believe that playing the game on a pirated version should definitely be prohibited (even if only formally). No one is trying to infringe on the rights of players who play the original game. P.S. Those who seek will always find. Soon I will have an original version of the complete collection, purchased on Amazon.

And who says that people in the Baltic states play on pirated versions? :eek: "Buka" is not the only licensed version of "Heroes".

The poll will be closed on August 29th, so please participate actively!

I remind you that we are discussing only Heroes of Might and Magic III in this thread! All posts regarding other versions of the game will be moderated!

P.S. We have a Russian website, and it would be strange if the poll results were different;) . Meanwhile, as many people play the English version as play Armageddon's Blade, which is 2 people, not many:)
I can imagine the rules on an English-language Heroes website stating that, in addition to the original American version, playing the Russian version is allowed:D

P.P.S. Something about Vana's promising prophecy isn't coming true:D

I remind you that we are discussing only the 3rd installment in this thread! All posts regarding other versions of the game will be moderated!

If it is forbidden to write about other versions here, then I think it is necessary to open a similar poll, at least for the 2nd installment. In my opinion, the situation there is more critical. And the poll could be made open so that it would be possible to determine not only the quantitative but also the qualitative composition.

P.S. We have a Russian website, and it would be strange if the poll results were different;). Meanwhile, the same number of people play the English version as play Armageddon, which is 2 people, not many:)

The loss of even two players of the level of Kamikaze and Dirty_Player will have a large negative effect. And there, only three people participated. Another one plays the English Platinum edition. Moreover, it is not a fact that all the players of the 3rd installment voted here.

If it's forbidden to discuss other versions here, then I think we should start a similar poll, at least for Heroes 2. The situation there seems more critical to me. And the poll could be made open-ended so that we can determine not only the quantitative but also the qualitative composition.

Go ahead and create one if you want. But mixing everything together, in my opinion, doesn't make sense.

Catch;192466

Even losing two players of the level of Kamikaze and Dirty_Player will have a significant negative effect. And in this case, three people have already left. Another one is playing in the English Platinum league. Moreover, it's not a fact that all the players who voted "3" here have actually voted.

Of course, not everyone has voted yet; there's still a whole week left. I'm not saying that there will be a taboo on the English versions; not at all. I'm just saying that we should increase the quorum and ensure that everyone is on equal footing. That's all. Some people were so adamant that a good half of the offline players play Heroes 3 on the English version. Therefore, to avoid embarrassing other players and provoking aggression, you should never speak so confidently without having reliable and verified information.

Personally, I think that's true! This poll just won't show anything... There are hardly any offline players left who are just average... And I won't even mention the person who voted for Armageddon's Blade; I doubt they can even be considered an offline player... It's a shame that we can't see who voted for what...

And how is this a different version? Can you only play offline on Platinum and Shades of Darkness? Or am I wrong?

Одна древняя легенда гласит,
Что темный дракон весь мир покорит,
Темный дракон - безликая тень,
Теперь навсегда ночь сменит день.
Он свергнет всех местных Богов,
Ни сила, ни воля не сдержат его.
Рыцарь, король - все одно для него,
С ним в битве исчезнет и зло, и добро.

Why wouldn't you create? And mixing everything together, in my opinion, doesn't make sense.

Actually, I thought that the moderators are primarily interested in this. And this poll was opened after moderator Qwerty of the second forum touched upon this topic.
Maybe he will open it?

I voted for the last option... but not for "Armageddon's Blade," but for the option "other"...
If this option only referred to "Armageddon's Blade," then it means the poll is poorly designed (it doesn't cover all options).

P.S.

Dirty_Player;192484

... And I won't even comment on the person who voted for "Armageddon's Blade"; I doubt they can even be considered an offline player....

I'd like more details on that in a private message, because I might react as if it were an insult, and a subjective one at that.

yes, it would be good to replace "other" with
RoE 1.0 and 1.1 (I personally know three people who play Erafia online)
AB 2.0 and 2.1 (there are quite a few)
WoG 3.52 - 3.58f - there were attempts to create offline tournaments on WoG
TE 1.03q - this is currently the latest version
also, the Phoenix mod comes to mind, but it's still far from being popular, as are offline tournaments:)
by the way, all of them have English and Russian versions - so there's no need to separate them by language - they all have a translation:)
SoD, by the way, can be 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 - someone is probably playing on 3.1 o:

And I won't even mention the person who voted for Armageddon's Blade; it's unlikely that they can even be considered an offline player.... It's a pity that you can't see who votes for what...

you should have kept quiet)))
yes, I forgot - there is Platinum 4.1 - this is a special patch that prevents 100% CPU load on dual-core processors;)
and to everyone who is angrily going to say that I jumped in without understanding anything - read the title of the topic - it is different from the title of the poll;)

I play on SoD (Russian version), but I also have the holiday edition; I just haven't gotten around to reinstalling it – it doesn't require a disc.

Good day.

I voted for the Platinum edition from Buque because, back in the day, I also bought the Platinum edition (i.e., the complete version of Heroes 1, 2, and 3) for 250 rubles, just like Fireball did.
Although the translation is terrible (and the font is just awful). I still have a Russian version with a great (in my opinion) translation and fonts, but unfortunately, it's version 3.0, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't upgrade it to 3.2. That's why I had to buy the Platinum collection.

Sincerely, K0Lb@zzeR.
