Hey guys, could you give me some tips about the online game? I'm just starting, and I'd like to know:
1. In the tavern, can you always see which castle your opponent has? Is this true for all versions of Heroes 3? 2. What's the optimal difficulty level for a random map for two players? 3. Why is it better not to play with water maps? 4. What week is the best time to attack?
1. Can you always see which Castle your opponent has in the tavern? In all versions of Heroes 3?
It shows not the Castle, but the hero. And the strongest creature in the army. Stats of the hero from 2 taverns. Army strength from 4. Completely all the info from 5.
That is, you can play as Rampart, have the main hero Tazhar, and the strongest unit will be an Archangel. Heisenber657
2. What is the optimal difficulty for a random map for two players?
160% is the optimal difficulty (Queen). This is the standard for online play. Heisenber657
3. Why is it better not to play with water?
Because there are no good templates for playing with water. And instead of filling the zones with something good, there will just be water. And it is not uncommon for a shipyard to guard a GO (Main Guard between players). This could be a group of angels, for example, and so on. Heisenber657
4. On which week is it best to attack?
There is no definitive answer. You need to attack when you have an advantage (or at least you think you do :D)

1. Hey guys, is it possible to play through Hamachi so that two players are on one computer, and the third player is in another location, playing against them from their own computers? Like 2 vs. 2?
1. Hey guys, can you play through Hamachi so that two players are on one computer, and the third player is in another location, playing against them from their own computers? Like 2 vs. 2?
You can't play that way. Either everyone is on one computer, or everyone is on different computers.
You can play via hot-seat mode, but you'll have to use a single computer. Create 3 players, and in the settings, assign teams (adding a bot) and start playing. Hamachi is not needed at all.

Good day! I have the following problem: my computer had a virus, and after I removed it, I tried to play, but the game said it was offended and wouldn't work (apparently, the antivirus either deleted some game file or something else). So, I decided to reinstall the game – I went to the control panel, but I couldn't uninstall the game there (something was missing for the system to work, and it refused to uninstall – I don't remember the exact reason, sorry). So, I naively decided to delete everything manually: the game folder, the uninstall shield (or what I thought was all of it), and some other pieces of the game (in the Temp folder of a folder with a satanic-sounding name like 4NRFHD-DIFBF...). After all these manipulations, when I run the installer, I get an empty error message (there's absolutely nothing written there, just an "OK" button), and the program closes. I would be grateful for any help! P.S. Sorry for the rambling.
I've been playing for a while, but I'm not a pro. My friend is about the same, but he's played more and knows more of the nuances, so he's generally stronger. We played three random maps, Large size, with full random settings, 1v1, over two days. To be fair, let's call us Z and L.
Game 1: L makes a few mistakes, and Z easily wins.
Game 2: Z picks up speed boosts, logistics, and gloves, arrives on week 5, and captures an empty castle because L wasn't there. At the same time, Z enters L's visible territory and manages to defeat a couple of weak heroes in one turn and reach the empty castle.
Game 3: L is completely blocked in with two mines (no exits, no dungeons, no water, or portals). There's no mercury at all... it's impossible to build a guild. Z arrives on month 3 with skills of 23, 23, 20, 18 against L in the castle with skills of 6, 8, 8, 7. A total rout with equal numbers of troops.
Considering these three games, what would be a fair score between Z and L?)))
2-1 in favor of Z. What's there to discuss? (Discuss). The winner is the one who won.
The first 2 games were 100% fair, but regarding the third, there's such a thing as a restart. That is, if you realize that you're blocked by rocks and can't get out of your starting area, you take a map regeneration. Usually, there are 3 days to determine whether the map is playable or not (and then you take your chances), but in maps where you're cut off by rocks, there's usually no way out of the castle (there's no way out at all), so you're 100% stuck. - Therefore, immediately regenerate the map.

It kicks me out of the game when I launch it with a mod, and it says that there's some file issue and to send an email to the developer. I have the Complete version, and I'm using Windows XP.
1. What can I do to prevent it from kicking me out?
2. Is it possible to play online if my friend doesn't have the mod installed, but I do (I know that HD+ is required for everyone, but I'm just wondering about playing with just HD)?
Added after 3 minutes And to play with a friend, you need either:
1. Both of you have the HD mod and HD+ enabled.
2. You have the HD mod, but without +, just HD. And he has regular heroes. Launch through the launcher and select there, no need to check the box next to HD+.

Basically, my friend and I will be finishing a game tomorrow, and I don't know how to win against him!!!!!) So, here's the situation:
Me: 1. Inferno, all buildings are fully upgraded, even the Devils. 2. Another Castle, a Tower, where the fleet hasn't even been built. 3. No army, because I attacked him at his main Castle. 4. I have a Portal of Dimensions, Expert Logistics, Chain Lightning (285 damage), 40,000 gold, and a lot of resources. 5. My hero's skills are 3, 8, 8, 6.
Him: 1. Swamp, main hero with 4, 12, 4, 4. A strong army, like 5 Hydras and the rest around 50 each.... 2. He probably has another Castle, but I don't know what it is.
So, that's it! I don't know how to use my strengths in logistics, money, resources, the Portal of Dimensions, and Chain Lightning!

The map is large, about 70% of it is land, and most of it hasn't been captured yet
3. There is no army because I attacked his main castle. 4. There is a Dimension Door, Expert Logistics, Chain Lightning 285 damage, 40 000 money, and a bunch of resources The map is large without water, about 70 percent not yet captured)
Stall for time! Fly around the treasures, collect wyverns from the hives, don't worry too much about the castle; you can buy any growth on the first day (Dimension Door), including in his castles. Be sure to spend the money on something useful. You can build up the Mage Guild in the left castle and gather spells. And most importantly—get some artifacts; Chain Lightning at 285 against Arch-Devils is way too weak, that's more like Fireball damage, and stats 3 8 8 6 are also low. You can find troops in Pandoras. Once you build up strength, gut the Dragon Utopia. Then head to the finale so he doesn't get too powerful.
