More questions.
1. Let's say I'm playing a map. I reached two artifacts. Then I decided to replay, but not by restarting the first day of the game. That is, I went back to, say, the 5th day and continued playing. Will the computer replace these artifacts with others? Or, no matter how many times I replay, will the artifacts remain the same?

Everything that is on the map is created by the generator at the start, and then nothing changes. A new restart of the map means a new layout. And during the game, no matter how many times you replay from any day, everything will remain as it was. This is the basis of the entire offline mode. )) Of course, the computer may play differently in some way; the generation of weekly and monthly creatures may be different, but these are the only inconsistencies that you might notice.

2. If I choose the best hero with large troops and the best artifacts when restarting, and also so that the building for the second-tier creatures is already built, won't the computer adjust the game so that the artifacts, neutrals, and magic in the guilds are worse in other places? That is, if I find something better in one place, will the computer compensate by making things worse in another?

No, everything is absolutely random within the limits of probability theory. Each event is generated independently of others. And a counter-question: how will the computer determine what "magic in the guilds is worse"? What does "worse magic" mean? Is it when Chain Lightning is replaced by Prayer? But Prayer is much better... The question is only who knows how to play...

If you restart the game 100 times to get a random favorite hero, why would getting that same hero on the first try be considered cheating?

Good day! I'm currently playing The Shadow of Death. I'm on the campaign for Jemma, and it's the second mission. There are some magical dragons surrounded by a couple of chests in the forest, a bit to the left of the center of the map. Is there a way to reach them, or are they just there as an Easter egg?

Hello!
I have a question about maps. I download maps from the forum, but they don't appear in the list. The game is HoMM, Armageddon's Blade.
P.S. The game itself is in Russian and I downloaded it from a torrent: :smile28:

And another question... does it really cost 100 rubles?

Apparently, the issue lies in the map format being that of *The Shadow of Death* (a later version). Download *The Shadow of Death* (version 3.2) or the Platinum Collection from Buka (Complete Edition 4.0), as they are essentially the same.

Place the maps in the "maps" folder, of course (just in case I need to mention it).

http://buka.playfast.ru/game/HoMaM3ab/

*Armageddon's Blade* doesn't cost anything because no one plays it. And why pay for something that's freely available for download?

It seems the issue is with maps in the format of The Shadow of Death (a later version). Download The Shadow of Death (3.2) or the Platinum Collection from Booki (Complete Edition 4.0), which is the same thing.

That's exactly what happened. I installed the Platinum Collection, and all the maps are visible:smile26:
Overall, I really liked the game, but my skill level was very low, and I kept losing.
Tutorial video on how to play Heroes 3 is still relevant:smile20:

"With a couple of angels, a few wyverns, and something else at the start, they take Dragon Utopias"

So your "acquaintance" greatly downplayed it, or is simply a fan of building a capitol because they play until a huge army size. At the start — that's at least the second week (for Jebus Cross) and even then it depends on the draw, but on other templates they're usually taken on the third... is that the START? With a couple of angels and a few wyverns you'll get wiped out there, you need at least 5-10 angels and/or 30+ wyverns to not get crushed, but I'm exaggerating, usually in Dragon Utopias a stack of 30+ wyverns dominates, or a stack of 5-10 angels, all of this together is very rarely assembled)) but even those numbers are far from a few or a couple...
P.S. By the way, to learn how to take Dragon Utopias quickly, you need to learn to play online, not by playing through champions of gelu... :D

Actually, to learn how to capture Dragon Utopia, you need to play offline. Have you seen how Dragon Utopias are captured in online games at levels 113-115? In offline mode, no one is surprised by this

By the way, to learn how to get Dragon Utopia, you need to play OFFline. Have you seen how people take Dragon Utopia in online games at levels 113-115? But no one is surprised by this in offline mode.

I didn't mean offline; in offline mode, you gain experience from completing maps, develop a strategy on how to complete it as quickly as possible, save troops, etc., but we were talking about regular random maps because almost always, Dragon Utopias appear there due to Angels and Wyverns.
P.S. And in offline mode, they can put so much "meat" on the map that even if you take it at level 111...)

But here we are talking about ordinary random maps because almost always Dragon Utopia appears on them due to Angels with Wyverns...

Well, that's understandable!

that Angels and Wyverns don't require much intelligence. You just need them to be generated.

yes, that’s true

hunter98

P.S. And in offline mode, they can put so much "meat" on the map that you won't even manage to take it on difficulty level 111...)

really? I was actually talking about offline tournaments, which have basically died out on ХВ. You didn't catch them. Well, try taking it on difficulty level 111 :D
At least try taking it on difficulty level 115. If everything is so simple. Save file here: /attachments/17531/>

At least try to get 115.

Just so you know, offline play isn't my thing, so it's best not to even start. I don't want to waste my time. =)</

I'll say it right away, offline isn't my thing, so it's better to start that way. I don't want to waste time. =)

And judging by the words, everything seemed so simple :D

In offline, you have to polish everything to perfection. And which is harder is another question.

Maslow on the second week in online, with further wiping out of everything encountered along the way that the generator gave: conss, hives, Dragon Utopia; or a precise game in offline, calculated down to the move point. With simply incredible battles.

And as for taking the Dragon Utopia - it turned out funny :D

Well, exactly because everything needs to be polished to perfection in offline mode, offline Tournaments are dying. For many, it's easier to just have fun online and not spend whole days thinking about how to complete the map faster...) but at least for me, it's definitely better to play online
