The mod provides some interesting items.
In a game against Wincerus in the Impatne map, I received 1500 gold, a bit of mercury, and over a million sulfur and 1.6 million ore.
Now I'm playing a game, and according to my opponent, I received over a million ore in the Hive map.
I don't have time to upload the saves right now, but I will later.
Has anyone else encountered something similar?

I tried playing with the new timer – it’s inconvenient; I don’t feel like I can track the remaining time. I don’t have much experience with turn-based games. How about an optional display of two timers – one for the current turn and one for the total time, and also another one during battles? Otherwise, when playing at high speed, you look at the timer and see 20 minutes, but you don’t know how much of that time is left for the current turn, so you don’t know whether to finish the turn quickly or if you still have 30 minutes left. Share your opinions, please.

About interesting things – recently, on map 111 in a non-native tavern, a hero with troops and an artifact appeared; I checked, and the AI also had the same starting artifact.

Dear baratorch, how can I reach you? I sent you a private message and an email, but I haven't received a response. The issue is: for some reason, the passwords for the save files don't work (it's impossible to continue the game). It's not a tournament game, so there's no particular rush, but I'd like to know if there's anything that can be done or not.

I had this happen in a tournament, and in the end, we had to start the game over.

Were you playing on a different version of the HD mod, or is someone simply entering the wrong password? :smile47:

The password didn't work either. Both players had their passwords saved in a file, but we still couldn't load the game. It would be helpful if the HD mod indicated which player entered the incorrect password. Otherwise, the opponent might pretend to have "forgotten" the password to avoid continuing the game.

As an alternative to passwords, I would suggest copying the MAC addresses of the network cards of both computers and embedding them in the save file. When loading the save file, if the MAC addresses match, load it without a password; if any MAC address differs (e.g., started at work, continues at home), prompt for a password. And passwords would still be needed when viewing save files after the game is over. Something like that; the idea can be developed further.

Good afternoon. If I remember correctly, on April 19, 2013, my opponent and I decided to continue our tournament game. When I tried to enter the game, my antivirus immediately blocked a malicious file and provided a link to the HD mod. I clicked "unblock," but the mod had already disappeared from the game folder. I have three versions of the game on my desktop, each with different mod versions, and they all crashed. Added 2 minutes later: The first one crashed when I tried to play a tournament game through Hamachi. The second one – I decided to play a casual game on GameRanger after the tournament game failed. When I launched the game, the antivirus blocked it. The third version doesn't launch at all. Added 2 minutes later: After that, I reinstalled the mod on one of the games, and it works through Hamachi, but not through GameRanger. It doesn't allow me to specify the game path in the options. Please advise what to do. Added 8 minutes later: When I enter the path in the options and select any of the game versions, it says: "Select the game application for 'Heroes... 3'."

+ The same thing happened a couple of days ago; Avast started relentlessly destroying all the executable files from Heroes when I tried to launch them, suspecting them of being malicious Win32 programs... I had to reinstall and reconfigure everything

Antivirus programs like Avast and Avira react to every unknown file, first by flagging it and then by quarantining it.

Come on, Avira doesn't shoot anyone; it just looks you in the eye and asks, "Want a bite?" :D You encounter programs with behavior similar to viruses – you just tell it to ignore them, and that's it (if you're sure, of course).

Avast flagged an executable file created for Heroes of Might and Magic, but when launched separately, it triggers the warning. It doesn't affect other files.

By the way, Avast doesn't delete these files; it moves them to quarantine (by default), from where they can be restored. However, there's little point, as the file will be moved back to quarantine the next time it's launched.
