Posts from - A reference guide and manual in Russian for Heroes 3.

By the way, I wanted to thank you for the attached videos – there are many interesting moments (although I don't really use them).

I'll see how it goes; I don't have enough time for everything. I'm currently focusing more on the fourth game; if you've seen it, I posted a small guide there.

Actually, there is such a glitch, but the reason is different. The laws of logistics still apply. The trick is that, under certain circumstances, the hero's move reserve (initial moves) is not updated. It should be updated whenever the hero's creatures are rearranged, but sometimes it doesn't. I know for sure that scripts for transferring creatures using Alt+Click (or dismissing them from the main game screen using Alt+Shift+Click) do not update the initial moves. This might also be the case in HD.
The point is this:
We were on a swamp, for example, with a speed of 9. We received a Gnoll (via a transfer script), and the initial moves were not updated, so the calculation of how far the hero will move on the next turn is based on the swamp. Naturally, this is not correct. To always be sure about the range, go to the hero and simply rearrange any stack. Exit, and you will see the correct range. By the way, you can observe this in HD - there is a record of the move/initial moves - use this to see if the initial moves have been updated or not.

However, in my case, I noticed the following. If a hero spent the night in a swamp with a fly in slot 7 and a neutral creature in slot 1, there was no penalty in the morning. But if it was the other way around, or if the positions were swapped, there was a penalty (the number of moves was reduced). At the same time, another hero with 7 monster slots, all of different races, in the swamp, had the same number of moves regardless of the order, both before and after spending the night (it was minimal).

The funny thing is this:
We were on a fly, speed 9. We received a troll (via teleport), but the initial movement wasn't updated, and the calculation of how far the hero will move on the next turn is based on the fly. Naturally, this isn't correct. To always be absolutely sure about the remaining movement points, you need to check the hero's stats.

I don't understand... does this mean that when a slow unit is added, the remaining movement points should be recalculated for all 3+ subsequent days? (I checked - yes) I just found out! This definitely needs to be added to the manual!

That's how I remember it... and the fact that the stock is recalculated is very convenient, but not at all obvious. By the way, in one video, Pit for LM clearly didn't take the recalculation into account.
