Thank you) I was suggested to download uPlay here, is it the right one?
uPlay is a program that launches the game (a launcher). It will install automatically when you install the game.
You will be able to play with those who don't have all the expansions; the only requirement is that the game is updated to version 2.1. Also, owners of the "Buka" version cannot play with those who have purchased a different version of the game. The Steam version is more expensive, but it provides a wider selection of opponents.
Okay, I'm back with more silly questions. I want to buy "Shades of Darkness," "Pirates," and "Necromancer" expansions. Is there currently an edition that includes all of these in one package?
UPD: My apologies, I already found the answer. I understand that the Complete Edition contains everything I need, and even more? =) UPD2: Does the Complete Edition need to be installed separately from the original game? Will my previous achievements carry over, or will I have to start playing everything from the beginning? UPD3: What happens if I activate the code from the Complete Edition in the original game?

Sorry for the late reply.
My apologies, I already found it myself. As I understand it, the Complete Edition contains everything I need, and even more?
Exactly.
Do I need to install the Complete Edition separately from the original?
No.
Will my previous achievements be carried over, or will I have to start everything from scratch?
The former.
What happens if I activate the code from the Complete Edition in the original game?
It will be great.
The answers are based on the assumption that all keys are activated through the same account. All the bonuses they provide are accumulated in that account. That's how it was for me: I linked 6 keys to one user (pre-order, basic original, extended original, two adventure expansions, and the add-on). As a result, it became the "Complete Collection."

Hmm, okay, if that's the case. I asked on the Ubisoft forum, and people there aren't sure, but they think everything will need to be reinstalled and replayed. I also wrote to technical support. Let's see what they say.
Then, the next questions. 1) I spent a long time searching for the place where you can enter the keys into your profile, but I couldn't find it. Can they only be entered in the game? 2) Let's say I enter the key, but how do I install the Dark Elves? Will they download and install automatically when I launch Uplay?

I advise you to do this exclusively in the game itself.
Let's say I enter the key, but how do I install the Dark Elves? Will they download and install automatically when I launch Uplay?
Just update the game to the latest version. The Dark Elf files are installed for everyone; some people just need to unlock them, while others have already done so.

Yeah... That's why I noticed that Uplay started displaying elf images after the update. I guess after unlocking it, they'll start installing version 2.*? patches. Because I currently have version 1.8 installed, but that's probably just for the regular Heroes games.

No, you can update the game to 2.1.1 even without activating the expansion. But you'll have to do it manually, meaning you'll have to download the patch for your current version yourself (which is important: for example, you can't update a boxed version with a file for the digital version). And one more thing: get the expansion from the same place where you got the original game. Otherwise, it won't work.
Oops. If I installed the original version from the discs, then Deluxe from a digital copy, and now I've also bought the Complete Edition digitally, which patch should I install?

If you entered codes into the game installed from the disc, then it's a boxed copy. If you downloaded it again from the internet, then it's a digital copy.

Hmm, now I'm starting to doubt it. I do have the disc, but I think something was glitching with it, so I downloaded it from the internet. Oh, wait, that was probably Diablo III. Damn it!)))
Okay, thanks for the info.

La-la-la! Ubisoft screwed us over. Support replied to me with the following:
Unfortunately there is no option to transfer your achievements, saves, and dynasty. Please note that if you already own Heroes of Might & Magic 6 on your Uplay account, you cannot install Heroes of Might & Magic 6 Complete Edition on the same Uplay account. In this case, please create a new Uplay account and activate your game. If you have any further queries or issues, please do not hesitate to contact us again, and we will assist you further.
What a mess, even their English is broken. The French, damn it (X_x).

O_O That's strange... But, if that's what they say, then that's how it must be.

I just had an idea. I was asking about the Complete Edition, and it's clear that you can't mix it with the regular game, as it's a standalone product. Maybe I should have just bought the expansion and activated it? Or do all versions of Shades of Darkness work as a separate game?

I'm afraid I can't help you with that. It's best to contact Technical Support.
