Good night, could you please explain the situation:
I was playing Rampart on a small map with 160% resources, using ponies. I took a secondary Castle in the swamp, in a corner. There's not much to take from it, as it's far away. I couldn't break through another path, so I went through the desert without a road to another secondary base, took some strong beasts/gnolls and a +3 Pandora's Box and a mine there. I don't know what to build. Dragons are too expensive, Archmages are too far away, and it's more expensive and the castle isn't built yet. In the end, I gave up on building and started hoping for a third castle.
When I crossed the desert, I took a Flux (1-2-7) and started building birds. But they only appeared at 1-3-6. In a game with a reasonably good opponent, I feel like it's too late. What should I do?

Hello everyone! I'm interested in the following: if playing HotA with the HW mod, are the only rules to remember related to the shifted guards and the red rush?
And where can I submit a request to play with someone?
Thank you in advance! :)

Hey everyone! I have a question: Can anyone help me figure out if it's possible to create a random map for two players, but with city portals, jump, and fly spells disabled? I've tried using HD mod and hw rulez, but it doesn't seem to work. Are there any other ways to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards to all!

Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards!

m200 rules mod doesn't allow their use.

Hello. Is there an opportunity for newcomers who have only played solo to play with other "non-professionals" in online multiplayer? Also, I'm interested in how much time playing even a single map together takes.
I have 15 years of experience playing against the AI and with friends on a single PC.

Hello. For newcomers who haven't played online – only solo – is there an opportunity to play with other "non-professionals"? Also, I am interested in how much time a game takes even on just one map together.
I have been playing against the AI and friends on one PC for about 15 years.

Well, if you find someone and agree, you can play. Why not? What’s the problem with playing with those who have already played many games?
Just write that you are a Новичок, want to play with another newcomer, and that’s it. Experienced players will probably not be interested in playing with you at all. Here is a topic /topic/10980/; write here. Or check the last page.

The duration may vary. You can finish in 4 hours. And sometimes you won't manage in 24 hours. It depends on the map, timer, and somewhat on the experience of the players.

(By the way, this number means nothing when playing against the AI. Everyone has long been familiar with the AI. Winning against 7 AIs in alliance is no problem for anyone. If anything matters, it's how many years you've been playing against other people.)

on m200 rules mod, it doesn't allow their use.

Please tell me, kind sir, where can I find this? Or a link, if it's not too much trouble?

Good day, friends. I have another question. Where can I get templates for map sizes like: H, XH, G - for Hota? Please advise.

Somewhere there.

Nowhere. They haven't been created yet.

Some standard templates are also generated for larger sizes.

Hello, I need your help. I have a lot of ideas, and they keep coming. They cover 90% of the game, and there are enough of them to create a mod, if not a whole new game. I've already shared them with another forum dedicated to Heroes 3, but there: "Everyone is very busy, and they would like to see such a mod, but they don't have time to do their own work." So, I can't implement them myself, as programming just doesn't come naturally to me. This mod will be different from any other; it will be based on Hota 1.4.2. So, if you want to create such a mod, please contact me. However, all I can offer are ideas with detailed descriptions. I understand from the rules that I cannot specify the name of the forum. I really hope for your help, and thank you in advance.

Well, first of all, share it with the HotA team if their version was used as a basis; if something proves to be more effective, it could very well be implemented. And regarding modding, http://forum.df2.ru/ would likely suit you better than ХВ

That's where I went, and that's where all my ideas are. If you're interested, take a look; they're under my nickname. The main ideas start on page 91 of the "New Ideas for HotA" thread, post #1818.
P.S. The city gate has already been accepted :), although the functionality has been slightly reduced.

We also have a subforum dedicated to HotA on our forum, but it's read by the same people who visit DF2

I know for sure that my question would be more appropriate for the HD section, but I'll ask here.
I can't configure the resolution in the HD mod. I've always played at 800x600, and in streams, you can see that people's monitors cover a larger part of the map, extending beyond the usual Heroes of Might and Magic screen. But no matter how I try to adjust the settings, nothing works. I set the resolution to 1920x1100, and I end up with a small hero screen and everything else is just a gray frame.

In the launcher, set the mode to 32-bit True (stretchable) and stretch it as you like. The only thing is that only the map will be huge, the other windows (castle, battlefield, market, etc.) will be standard size, just scaled.
