Posts from A THREAD FOR NEWCOMERS!

Maybe I'm missing something, but I find it noticeably harder to play with water (islands) in Might & Magic and Heroes. The map turns out to be very barren. There's nowhere to develop, nowhere to get resources. And you can't attack the computer in the early days.

It's possible, but a bit cumbersome. If you're interested, read this: here.

DaU, there’s just a missing colon in that link. Here's the correct link. But the website like this does exist; however, WoT warns that it has a very bad reputation, so it’s best not to visit it.

I'm having trouble connecting to one player. I can connect to other players without any issues, but when I try to connect to him, it says "Failed to establish session." How do I fix this?

By the way, there was a case where players couldn't connect to me from a save file; maybe it's related to this, but I repeat, I can connect to other players without any problems.

Hello everyone. I have the following question. I downloaded a map template, did everything as described in the help file, but it periodically creates a map with a starting point featuring two castles. Is it possible to prevent this?

I have a question. As a complete beginner, I was looking for someone to play Heroes 3 with on GameRanger, and also for some friends to play with, but I'm having connection issues with most people. My question is, which version of Heroes 3 are most people playing online? I have version 3.2 downloaded, and I can't connect with the second person I'm trying to play with. I think it's because he has version 4.0 Complete Edition, and even though we have the same HD mod version, it won't connect, for example, through GameRanger. And through Hamachi, it said that the IP address couldn't be found, although there might be another problem because I was told that 3.2 and 4.0 can connect normally.

because I was told that 3.2 and 4.0 connect normally.

Yes, 3.2 and 4.0 connect normally. Try TeamViewer.

Why do players compete against the computer on the 8mm6a map, just as they do on some other maps?

So that you don't have to rebuild each captured city from scratch...

Sorry for the possibly incorrect question, but I can't find the rules for Heroes 3 online. Could you please tell me where to find them? Where can I watch a video on how to play? My grandson promised to bring Heroes 3, Platinum edition, from Buky this weekend. What else do I need to install for online play? I have ICQ and Hamachi. I've been playing on the unofficial version for two weeks. I feel like a bull in a china shop, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

I'll continue with the series of questions. Sorry, but many things are unclear, and I can't find the answers.
What are: "seasonka," "fanka," "smku"?
The internet in the village isn't great. My grandson plays tanks with a ping of 200-400, often 999, but he doesn't get disconnected from the server. Is it possible to play Heroes with such internet?
Will there be "heroes" willing to battle a completely new player?
I'll provide a screenshot showing what's available and what else is needed, and whether what I've installed is allowed. This is an unofficial version, downloaded. I'm waiting for the licensed version.

I can't find the rules for Heroes 3 online. Can you tell me where to find them?

My grandson promised to bring Heroes 3: Platinum from Buku this weekend. What else do I need to install on it? For playing over a network. We have ICQ and Hamachi.

The HD mod that you already have, as seen in your second post, animation speed booster, which can be found here http://heroesportal.net/other.php?storage_3 (it’s also available somewhere on our forum, but I can’t find it). It should be placed in the data folder. It only works with maximum animations enabled. How do you play? Watch heroes3.tv and don't hesitate to ask the streamer questions about what, why, and how you are doing things. Finally, if you are completely Новичок, then it is better to play through Gameranger. How? See here http://forum.sc2tv.ru/threads/10991-%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BA-%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C-%D0%B2-%D0%B3%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%B2-3-%D0%BF%D0%BE-%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%83 (sorry for the long link). In Heroes, as far as I know, traffic only occurs when sending and receiving turns. So, luckily for you, a slow internet connection is not a problem)))

it's better to play via gameranger.

People play without the HD mod via GR; I started playing Heroes a year ago, and it's a good thing I found Hamachi right away instead of GR. So it's better to play here, even for a complete beginner.

You can also use an HD mod.

it is only necessary for both players to have it.
