Regarding the versions of the rules:

1. There is a pinned topic with the rules: /topic/5950/
It's unclear which version of the rules it is, but since the topic is at the top, I initially considered it to be the main one.

2. There is a topic with the rules for the third edition: /topic/10593/
Accessing this topic isn't straightforward; I was only able to find it through the seasonal topic, although perhaps I missed something.

Am I correct in understanding that the rules from the second topic are now the primary ones and are significantly more lenient?
If so, would it make sense to update the first topic so that newcomers like me don't struggle with outdated information?

Where did you even find that first topic? )) From some ancient year? Of course, the third edition reigns supreme, 3.1 currently. And I recommend reading the forum and following the news in this section. This is the main section dedicated to online play for version 3.

I think that by looking at the date of the first post in a thread, you can easily tell which topics are current and which are outdated.

This old topic is pinned at the top of the "Tournament Committee" section, which for some reason I considered the most official section.

It's different on different forums. On the one where I spend the most time, a very old topic with tournament rules is pinned at the top of the section, and its first post is regularly updated. Of course, it would have made sense to look at the date of the last message in the topic, but those are just details :smile13:

Well, now I have a slightly better opinion of my abilities; the new rules are more dynamic, and according to them, it's possible to normally reach the treasure zone on Jebus Cross during the second week, or sometimes even earlier in the week. If you don't make any major mistakes, that is.

Is it possible to calculate the number of creatures on the battlefield yourself, say, a large group of 20-49 air units in the first week, guarding a relic? How can I calculate their exact number?
Yes, but again, there will be some variation. It all depends on the map and the area where the relic is located.

Let's take the triad template as an example; this means the transition coefficient between zones is 5.5. How is it calculated?
/topic/10178/
The numbers in the transitions represent their value in thousands.

The game won't launch over the internet with a friend! It doesn't detect the game and can't find the IP address! 1. Hamachi is working and the ping between us is excellent! 2. My friend has internet from a modem on his phone, and then a router distributes it throughout the house. 3. We disabled all firewalls and in the Hamachi settings, we set everything to the highest priority. 4. He has a Huawei router... 5. His IP address is the same as in Hamachi in the game. In short, the ping is excellent, but it doesn't detect the game and can't find the IP address! Please advise on how to configure it! It works with everyone else, but not with him!)

The problem lies with the router. I don't know how to solve it myself because I don't have a router. Take a look at THIS thread; it might help.

My question is as follows:
Can I change the localization or its version in any way (for example, to a different translation)?
I have the HoMM 3 Complete version from Buka with the HD mod installed on top of it.
Their translation, without the "improved monster lair," sounds better in some places, but the name "Conflux" is simply jarring, as is the font.
Is there an easy way to change this (without manually editing each file)? Or can I install the English localization, or at least the old, good one from Far Gus?
I'm also interested in the editor for the files and the name of the file that contains the names of artifacts, cities, etc.

Good luck to all in your games, oh great strategists! Could someone please help a desperate elf enthusiast? Is there a program similar to Skellwheel for the third installment of Heroes of Might and Magic, but compatible with the fifth game? I need a convenient skill wheel because planning character progression is very inconvenient, and constantly training memory is getting tiresome.

There is such a program. It's called LMOracle. However, it doesn't work for multiplayer, only for single-player, to avoid wasting time reloading saves. Using such a program online violates the rules of fair play.

Buka's translation is simply terrible...
There are two options:
1. Install any other version of Heroes and put the HD mod on top.
2. Install Mega Pack Rus - an addition to HD, which can be downloaded from the HD mod website.

Please provide a link to the mega pack.

I've only seen the SuperPack, blah blah blah.
Well, I need that super pack; I just forgot the name because I don't use it.

I tried it.
It doesn't fix anything.
That's a shame. I guess I'll have to play the English version.
By the way, it really bothers me that even in the original game, upgraded creature dwellings are still called "Improved Something." It's so stupid.

You can install this patch on top of the English version; it will localize it into Russian.

By the way, just in case (you never know), I'll remind you that simply downloading the patch and placing it in the folder isn't enough; you need to activate it.
