I'm currently having trouble installing WOG, so I decided to practice with the regular Heroes (Armageddon's Blade) until I get WOG installed, and I'm stuck in the dragon campaign on the first mission (with the crystal dragon). Can you give me some advice on how to save more of my army? I'm saving almost everyone, but the spellcasters keep finishing them off.

Unfortunately, problems with installing WoG are a common and well-known issue. :( To avoid them, the most important thing is: before installing any mods, updates, or patches, make a full backup of the game (i.e., the entire folder with the installed and working "Heroes")! Then, even if something goes wrong, you can simply revert to the previous state.
2nd option: copy the "Heroes" folder to another location and try installing WoG there.
You can read about what WoG can be installed on and what it cannot here: http://heroes.ag.ru/h35/
The installation order and links to the necessary files (WoG itself and the Russian language packs) can be found here: http://wforum.heroes35.net/showthread.php?tid=540

I played Heroes of Might and Magic III a couple of years ago... and I just kept defeating AI opponents. Now I want to play against real opponents and learn how to play properly. This resource is very useful, but the problem is that I don't understand many of the terms. Please explain the basic terms, i.e., explain in Russian what different words mean. I won't give specific examples. Thank you for your attention.

I just want to play against decent opponents and learn how to play properly.

Maybe you should first confidently win offline on maps with high and "impossible" difficulty. But offline and online are completely different styles of play. I, after reading about the tricks players use, don't really feel like playing online anymore. And there's still the problem of cheating... :(

ces_137: Read this: Heroic Jargon and Slang. It covers all versions of Heroes, although some things are missing, and some of what's written isn't used much...
Also, they often use English terms, which are well explained in FizMige.

I guess you need to confidently win offline on maps with high and "impossible" difficulty first. But offline and online are completely different playstyles. I've read a lot about players' tricks, and now I don't really feel like playing online. And there's still the problem of cheating... :(

I agree... but playing against humans is more interesting. I'll learn as I go, but AI is getting boring...
WishmasteR, thank you.
And also, if any of the good players have some time, please leave your ICQ in the topic or in a private message. I think I'll have a lot of questions along the way. Thanks again :):rolleyes:

I guess you should first confidently win in offline mode on maps with high and "impossible" difficulty. But offline and online are completely different game styles. I've read a lot about players' tricks, and now I don't really want to play online. And there is still the problem of cheating... :(

That’s some nonsense… What does offline have to do with it? :)
And there isn't any problem with cheaters.

ces_137,
to play online, all you need is the desire to do so :).
And everything will work out. Forget about slang; you'll understand everything over time. Read FizMiG, and check out the links in my signature:

Rules – read them and reread them; most questions will disappear by themselves.

“Новичок” Tournament – in the first post of the topic, at the bottom, there are many useful links; go through them all.

/forum/section/62/
If you have time, read this section; you will find very much information.
There are replays, reports, and various discussions.
Be sure to read the reports, especially those that are detailed day by day.

If you have any questions, these people usually really help beginners, for which they deserve a lot of respect:

КостяN - ICQ 430-405-413
SEM_56 - 411-719-767
Wlk777 - 442-018-688

Lider1 - 469-887-869

I usually do too, but I'm swamped right now, sorry :)

Kash, thank you! Now I have a specific task, not just "wandering" around the forum:smile13: :smile41: :smile33:
P.S. I already have a physical copy:smile20:

I played Might and Magic III a couple of years ago… what can I say? I just kept defeating bots in single-player. Now I want to play against real opponents and learn how to play properly. This resource is very useful, but the problem is that I don't understand many terms. Please explain the basic terms, i.e., explain in Russian what different words mean. I won't give specific examples. Thank you for your attention!

If there’s a will, everything else will follow with time.
You can start testing your skills right away; post here and begin playing, good luck!

When editing a post, enter the advanced mode; at the top, there's a menu bar. Click the button with the paperclip icon.
A "Attachment Management" menu will open, and there's a section: "Upload a file from your computer."
Keep in mind that there are restrictions on file types and their size (file size and the total size of all uploaded files).
After uploading, a dropdown menu with the uploaded files will become available on the button with the arrow. You can insert files anywhere in the post.
