Reinstalled WOG. When starting a "New Game" in "Single Player" mode, the following error appears: EIT=0x00404C36, Access Violation, Attempt to read the inaccessible data at 0x00000000 The Latest Executed ERM Receiver: Register Context: EAX=0x00000001 EBX=0x00227544, etc. What needs to be done?

goldray, you need to try different options. There are only 3 editions of "Heroes 3" (RoE, AB, SoD) and "Complete Collection", but there are many repacks, and there are also many versions of WoG in various installer variations. Plus, different versions of Windows, hardware, and drivers. First of all, try running "Heroes 3" itself (not WoG): Heroes3.exe. Does it work? If not, you can try installing another version of "Heroes 3" (from a different site, for example, from there), and test its functionality. If everything works and you need WoG, install it "on top", and check again. Then, install the WoG localization, and check again.

Here's the question: Let's say I took the "Wings of an Angel" artifact in the Dungeon. What am I allowed to do, and what am I not allowed to do, according to the Heroes of Might and Magic rules?

You cannot pick up artifacts, Pandora's boxes, hidden stashes, etc. You cannot run to the center, bypassing an invincible Guardian of Order on Jebus... Otherwise, everything is allowed.

You cannot pick up artifacts, Pandora's boxes, hidden caches, etc.

Do you mean without breaking through the guards?

Could you please tell me how to enable the feature that shows the range of movement for an enemy unit during combat when you click on it? I remember it being available, but I can’t recall how to turn it on.

Hover the mouse over the desired creature and press Ctrl.

Here is the question. Suppose I took the "Angel Wings" artifact in the Dragon Utopia; what am I allowed to do, and what am I not allowed to do according to the ХВ rules?

Allowed
-taking chests-campfires-resources without breaking through guards
-visiting mills-canopies-mystic gardens without breaking through guards
-flying freely from zone to zone (EXCEPT IN SPECIAL CASES)
-visiting cons, gnome dwellings, Dragon Utopias, etc. without breaking through guards WITHOUT ATTACKING (purely for scouting)
Forbidden:
-taking pandoras-scrolls-artifacts without breaking through guards
-visiting other objects (including corpses and carts, overlooks) without breaking through guards
-entering certain zones on some templates without breaking ГО
-attacking cons, gnome dwellings, hives, Dragon Utopias, etc. without breaking through guards
Visiting the tent and eliminating the Guardian is equivalent to breaking through guards

my hero doesn't have the Tactics skill. It's unknown whether the enemy hero has it or not. But in one case, he doesn't deploy his troops; I reload the save, change the army's position, attack, and... he's already using the Tactics skill. HD+ 3.46

Is the Tactics skill enabled for your hero?

Here is a save file. Hero Tazar attacks the red Sorcerer
Fast battle must be enabled
1. Attack without changes, do not agree with the results - tactics are not used at all (heroes do not have the skill)
2. Change your lineup: replace archers with angels
Attack, the hero loses, do not retreat, do not agree with the result and replay. Sorcerer is already using tactics.

This is a save file. Hero Tazar attacks the red Sorcha.
Fast battle must be enabled.
1. Attack without changes, do not agree with the results – tactics are not used at all (heroes don't have this skill).
2. Change your setup: replace archers with angels.
Attack, the hero loses, don't retreat, don't agree with the result and replay. In my case, Sorcha already uses tactics.

I think you found a bug. Congratulations! :D

By the way, in manual combat, I win with 24 angels remaining, which is the same result as the first time.

An interesting map generation occurred today on the 8mm6a template:
From the starting town, there were 3 roads: one leading to a conflux (19) behind the green portal, a road going to the right, leading to another conflux (15), and a portal at the bottom leading to a computer-controlled town (3).
We were playing with Hv rules 1.23 with 2 checkboxes enabled on the cartographer and with Fortress as the starting town.
The question is: is this a map generation bug, or is it one of the possible map generation variations?
If it's a bug and this occurs in a tournament game, is a mandatory restart given, or is another decision made?

The question is: is this a generation bug, or one of the possible map generation variations?

This is not a bug. It's just that the area where the white teleport to the computer is located also turned out to be snowy, so it seems like it's all one zone. The lone archers (next to the wolves) in the second screenshot confirm this. There was another guard standing somewhere near the mill, who was killed.

If it's a bug, and something like this is found in a tournament game, is a mandatory restart given, or is another decision made?

If something unclear happens in the game, you can always ask the judge for clarification. Usually, technical restarts on HL+U are given in cases:
1. One of the computers is missing.
2. One of the respawn points is underwater.
3. The monolith turned out to be 4-sided instead of 2-sided. (To avoid restarts due to encounters and save time)
4. Obviously buggy passages that will lead to a restart due to an encounter (for example, the red passage to the green computer).

However, buggy passages are not a reason for a restart. If it turns out that you have a buggy passage, for example, to the pink computer, then use it and be happy.

Hello. I'm from Minsk, and I have internet from Atlant Telecom (Shparki Domovik). I'm having a problem where most of the players in Hamachi are showing up as blue instead of green, which causes the games to disconnect, making it very difficult to play. Port forwarding on the modem didn't help (although I might have forwarded the wrong ports), and Hamachi is configured correctly. Has anyone in Minsk solved this problem, and if so, how?
