2. It is very important to develop skills such as Education and Training.
Because when exchanging with other heroes, you transfer as much as 75% of the experience. Why? It's simple: you develop secondary heroes along the MANAGEMENT branch to increase gold and resource gathering, which brings you 20% more gold when picking up resources, as well as a 1+1 bonus for ore and wood. This is a good exchange rate, and most importantly, it reduces the cost of buildings in the city by 20%, increases the army size, and allows you to build 2 buildings in 1 turn. And of course, VIGILANCE is also a good and useful skill!

Nah, those skills are useless! You can easily do without them.

Yes, but the further you go, the more expensive it becomes to buy heroes in the tavern. How much money do they give you on a difficult setting? 2500? And a hero in the tavern on the third mission costs 9500. Honestly, the second hero is more of a nice bonus. You can do without him, and with my strategy, I often have to use him to escape from enemies rather than do anything useful. To avoid worrying about gathering resources, you need to level up the "Steal" skill.

Although scouting and gathering resources are probably useful on some single-player maps.

Who downloads weapons from the dynasty legitimately?

What are you talking about?!)))) Everyone is playing fairly.

I found a way to transfer online saves for playing offline.
I tested it for single-player.
First, the interesting part:

1) Find the desired save file [some number.save] in the folder with online saves (Win7 - C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Local\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegame_storage\SOME_ID\44[br][/br]WinXP - C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSER\Local Settings\Application Data\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegame_storage\SOME_ID\44\)

2) Cut off the first 520 bytes in this file and save it with the .sav extension in the offline saves folder (C:\Users\YOURUSER\Documents\Might & Magic Heroes VI\Profile Name\Save).

3) Launch the game with the offline key, load our new save, and make sure everything works.

Now, the boring part:

How to find the right save?

The easiest way is to look at the file modification time. Another option is to search by save name. The save name is recorded inside the file in Unicode encoding. Accordingly, perform a search for files with the text [Our save name in the game] in Unicode. For example, you can do this in the Total Commander program. Or another option is to search for the mission description text, but already in UTF encoding.

How to remove the first 520 bytes?

Using a Hex editor, for example, WinHex: load the file into it, select the first 520 bytes, and press Del.

Using Total Commander:
File -> Split file
Part size 520
In the selected folder, we get a bunch of files
Then delete two files: the very first one with the extension 001 and another with the extension CRC
Then select the file with the extension 002
File -> Combine file
Rename the resulting file with the extension out to [Desired save name].sav

And in conclusion, I will tell you what the save file represents.
Conditionally, it can be divided into 3 parts:

1) Data with the save name, creation time (Unicode), mission description (UTF).
2) PNG screenshot for the save (256x144).
3) Other data.

As for the reverse conversion of an offline save to an online save, this still needs to be figured out, if it is even possible.
