Hello! Dirty_Player (sorry for my Russian). I would really like to play Heroes 3 with you. Please don't refuse!
I wouldn't want to brag, but I play very well, at 200%.

Hello. I installed the game, and when I launch it, the image is shifted to the left. That is, the left part is hidden, and there is a black bar on the right. I'm using Vista. Can you tell me how to fix this?

He could at least post a screenshot.

Another possible solution. Based on the description, it resembles image shifting on a CRT monitor: this can happen if the game is launched in fullscreen mode with a resolution different from the current one. It can be fixed by reconfiguring the monitor. But this doesn't happen on LCD monitors. What kind of monitor do you have? And a screenshot would be helpful.

Taking a screenshot with the Print Screen button doesn't work; I have an LCD monitor. I had the same issue with The Lord of the Rings. I fixed it by changing the resolution in the game itself, but there's no such option in Heroes.

And you also broke the print screen button?

Then try installing the HD mod and running it in windowed mode; that should help.
Print Screen only puts the image in the buffer, and then you have to paste it into something like Paint. Or does that not work either? :)

Dear forum members, please tell me why, for example, when I attack a Necropolis and refuse the battle, right-clicking on the Necropolis does not display the approximate number of troops inside. Although I have seen Amiloo stream many times, and it works perfectly for him. I have Heroes 3 Complete installed, with the latest Horn of the Abyss and HD mod.

As far as I know, the approximate number of troops is displayed in all buildings (gnome mine, naga bank, cyclops den, imp lair, medusa lair, conservatory, hive, etc.), but not in Necropolises.

The Necropolis is the only building where the number of creatures won't be displayed until you enter it. If you enter it with a hero and then leave, the number of creatures will be displayed as it should. When a player is about to take a Necropolis, they position themselves as if they are going to take the maximum (10 vampires). If the Necropolis has fewer creatures, the battle becomes even easier.

Thank you for your response. I somehow got it into my head that the number of creatures should also be displayed in the Necropolis. And could you tell me where to find optimal unit arrangements for the Necropolis and other factions?
