So, we'll have to look for solutions abroad if there are no other options for hamster-like players.

Well, good luck then :D

Just out of curiosity, what are you talking about?

Adagio

where many serious shortcomings are fixed, such as the ability to hire and leave guards at resource sources.

Leaving guards at resource sources - meaning you capture a mine, press space, leave troops there, and you consider this a bug? What is variable hiring?

Thank you. :) Yes, there's an opportunity to purchase a rare item in America, like a new collector's edition of the original trilogy from "3DO." I want to take advantage of it. If that's what you're referring to.

Leaving guards at resource sources - meaning you captured a mine, pressed space, left troops there, and you think this is a bug?

I expressed myself incorrectly. I meant that in version 1.0, you can't leave guards at mines, but in version 1.4, there are no problems with this anymore. However, I can't install the patch.

What is variable recruitment?

When you can recruit both basic and upgraded creatures. This wasn't available in version 1.0.

And are there any gems hidden in the nagas' lairs by any chance?

No, they drop sulfur.

Yeah, it's like in the song Shao sings - "Want to preserve your virginity and get an orgasm."
Rarity is rarity, but the original RoE... I recently played it - got halfway through the scenario - and deleted it along with all its possibilities and shortcomings. But to each their own... So good luck in your search!

Thank you! :) As they say, there's no accounting for taste. I get annoyed by elements that stand out and don't fit in (in this case, for example, new objects and icons), which is why I prefer games that are, shall we say, "sterile." That's why I keep the first version of "Warcraft" at version 1.0.

A rare edition is a rare edition, but the original Heroes of Might and Magic...

...is very good in this edition. A special box, a user manual, additional materials... A collector's dream, even if I wouldn't necessarily call myself a collector.

In short, if anyone can help update the Russian version to 1.4, I would be very grateful.

Hello everyone. I'm new to HOMM, so for now, I'm just having fun playing on a difficulty of 200 with the "unlimited resources" cheat. I'm playing in the "Complete Collection" scenarios without mods. On the "Warlords" map, I came across something strange. One of the enemies (it's different each time) manages to max out all their skills in a short amount of time, and then, when we meet, they completely destroy me, despite my cheat. Questions: How does he do it? How can I fight him? Is there a tactic that allows you to level up quickly in the same way? In the screenshot, it's the brown one:

completely destroys me even though I'm using cheats.

Well, if even cheats don't help you, then I don't even know what to suggest. Maybe try the cheat code nwcredpill, so you won't have to struggle anymore?

GreedyMonk

Is there a tactic that allows you to level up just as quickly?

Yes, the code nwcneo, entered several times.

So, does the computer also cheat? Or not?
And how do those who don't use cheats play on this map?

I just thought that maybe it's a feature of this map, that one of the computer opponents levels up very quickly or already starts the game with a powerful army. That's why I wanted to know if that's the case and how to deal with it. I watched a lot of let's plays on YouTube, but I didn't see anything like that there.

The AI sometimes cheats as well. This has been discussed before.
And you can view the map in the editor...

GreedyMonk, since it's unclear what's happening in your situation that allows the brown player to become so powerful, I suggest finding out by using the cheat nwcwhatisthematrix at the beginning of the game to open the map and see where and what this player is doing. Then, tell us! Also, try creating daily saves for analysis, in case something remains unclear or simply for those who want to study the situation independently.

Okay, I'll try. Just tell me, please, how I can extract these saves from the game so that I can upload them here later.

In general, to learn how to play properly, you need to stop using various cheats and so on. It's much more interesting to play on your own, using your brain and figuring out where to get certain resources or how to overcome necessary defenses with limited forces, etc. I recommend checking out some tutorial videos!
