How can you change the starting skills of a hero you're already playing? For example, for humans, the Leadership skill is clearly useless, as +1 to morale is provided by Archangels, and another +1 is given by "all creatures of one nationality," while the remaining third point of morale can be easily added with some artifact, as there are plenty of those available.

When playing as Haven, it's common to buy another hero in the tavern and level them up. You can level up any Necromancer, Barbarian, or Swamp creature, as well as some Demons or Rangers. Wanderers are also good. There are many strong heroes, so you have a choice.

No. The point is that, for example, I like the fact that a hero initially has Tactics (which is usually rarely found on other heroes), but Leadership is completely useless to him. It would be more relevant to have Attack or Armor as the default skill.

Then these heroes will suit you - Gunnar, Charna, Lakus, Tyraxor, Shakti, Das, etc. Buy any of them and level them up. In online games, they do just that, playing as a specific faction.
And if you want to edit the skills, you can do so through the map editor. Map specification, Heroes tab.

What the heck!!!....I reinstalled Bookin's version after deleting WOG and HotA (I'm still dreaming of completing all the Campaigns, as I always had buggy versions), and it started kicking me out of it... I thought I deleted everything (I uninstalled HotA and then deleted the entire Heroes folder along with WOG, since there's no uninstaller in it)... I installed just Bookin's version without anything else, even without the Russian language pack, because minor text errors and omissions don't bother me, although I haven't even seen them in the first two missions of the first (Elven) Campaign... Still, it kicked me out about 30 times... mostly when loading maps, during battles, during a turn, when opening something (mage towers or castles, etc.... and it doesn't just kick me out, but the sound or music suddenly stops!!! ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.... like a record skipping on the last sound, the picture freezes, and the game doesn't respond... I have to constantly close it through the Task Manager and restart it, hoping to play for at least 20-30 minutes before the next crash... luckily, it sometimes saves before crashing(((....so please help me with possible solutions, what could be causing this... maybe I need to clean the registry or revert Windows to XP or... in short, SOS!!!

downgrade Windows to XP
That would be the best option.
But, if you don't really want to, you can try installing the game from

Maybe it will help?

Heroes 3 crashes because of incorrect operation on multi-core systems. You just need to launch the game, minimize it, right-click on the process in Task Manager, and select "Set affinity." Leave only one checkbox selected, and that's it.

I have this SoD... as far as I remember, the main ISO file is archived in RAR... but for some reason, it won't install on my computer.

I don't have that command in Task Manager... there's no command even remotely similar when I right-click on the game... sorry... I checked in Applications...))
Well... I checked only core 0... it lasted a little longer... but still...

Run - Execute: **msconfig** - uncheck all boxes in the Startup section, restart, and try playing again.

I'm not misleading users; I'm simply stating what I observed. Anyone interested can personally test this.
The figures you mentioned earlier are also based on the personal observations of an unknown author and were published in PhysMig. I doubt you verified them either, but you're still presenting them as truth for everyone to see. As we know, PhysMig isn't perfect and has undergone various changes and additions.
Where there's an element of randomness, nothing is perfect; there's only the most probable outcome.
I don't doubt the accuracy of your observations (25% instead of 12.5%). But once, based on a similar observation by someone else, I decided to clarify this and tested different scenarios. When morale dropped up to 3 times per round (7 turns), which accounted for 43%, the total occurrence didn't exceed 12.5% over 100 or more turns (and possibly even 4.3% - I tested many different scenarios, but I don't remember all the details now). It's quite possible that 25% is not a General case, but a specific one, something like a bug related to a specific game build or specific to certain heroes, etc. I think that not only I, but also others have verified the observations of the unknown author and agree with the data presented in PhysMig.

GoedenDag gave you excellent advice. It's a great game build, but it's easier to get it by downloading the 4 separate files instead of the .iso image – no installation is needed. But the main problem is probably with Windows 7 – you need to enable compatibility with Windows 98, and there might be other issues as well. Don't forget that Heroes 3 was created for Windows 98. I haven't had any problems using it with Windows XP.

I conducted more global tests. I'm not insisting, I'm just describing my observations; I'm human and can be wrong. Moreover, after reading some statements about various quirks, people wrote that everything, up to the operating system, could affect it, and such a statement was made on the forum.

GoedenDag gave you excellent advice. It's a great game setup, but it's easier to take not the .iso image, but just 4 separate files – you don't need to install them. But the main problem is probably with Windows 7 – you need to enable compatibility with Windows 98, and maybe something else will interfere. Don't forget that Heroes 3 was created for Windows 98. I've been using XP, and I haven't had any problems. I understand that the problem is with Windows 7, but what should I do? I've tried going into the properties of the heroes3.exe file, going to compatibility, and setting it to Windows XP Service Pack 3. There are also Service Pack 2 and Windows 98/ME options, but I haven't tried them yet. I think the result will be the same. I've also tried setting the task (Heroes 3) in the Task Manager to run on only one core, but the result is the same. Also, when I minimize the window using Shift+F4, it minimizes normally, but when I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the Task Manager, a window like this pops up: What could this be?

It’s best to minimize the game using the Win button.

Well, I've heard that there are many problems with the 3rd game on Win7. Various problems. Some can be solved by using compatibility mode. And others cannot be solved at all. Only by replacing Win7 with XP. Or by just giving up on Heroes.
