Hi everyone. I will travel to another country for 2 weeks and I am currently playing the SoD campaign on my PC. I won't take my PC with me but I will take my laptop and I would like to continue the campaign from there. Is there a way to do this? Just copy the saves files? Thanks in advance for your help.

As the title said, implosion works on black dragons, this is something I just recently found out. Am I really that ignorant?

When I search on Google it just shows discussion of maps played solo, not one-player. I'm talking something like Island of Fire (which I have memorized by now). I've never downloaded a map before so if anyone could guide me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

(Not Morale) Sorry if the title is confusing. While I was watching some old videos, I noticed a battle where vampire lords kite around walking dead for a while until an "opening" comes up.

In this "opening", the vampire lord moves a few hexes, attacks the walking dead, and takes another turn to fly away! It doesn't seem like a unit specialty.

Similar kiting took place when attacking dwarves. So my guess is it has something to do with speed of the unit but can't exactly figure out how it works.

Could anyone explain this? thanks.

I got the Ubisoft store version of the complete edition and I’m trying to download HotA, but when I try to put it into the Homm3 complete folder it says I need to remove it from program files. What am I to do without bricking the computer?

My mother & I just finished a 2v6 size G random map, 160% difficulty, grail obtained, all towns conquered, in 102 days. 249 points.

But our last map, a 2v6 size G random map, 160% difficulty, grail obtained, all towns conquered, 116 days, gave us 252 points?

Why did we get fewer points when we finished two weeks quicker?

We're playing HotA version 1.5.4

I'm unsure what to think about Cove after seeing a video by Gigel the Skeleton, where 100 week growth battle between Castle and Cove took place; cove won.

Let me start of by noticing the cons of the Cove town:

1. 3 creatures are useless during sieges (however, existence of cannon can make them useful more easily than for other towns, maybe except Stronghold)

2. Okeanides and Birds die soon and have quite small growth (however, they have huge damage)

3. Mage guild is up to level 4

4. The special building is Grotto (usually worse than, say, artifact merchant)

Now it seems that Cove's army can defeat most of the other armies (perhaps even all of them) when they have same amount of week growths, on top of that their seventh creature is the strongest 7th level creature (unless you count black dragon's magic immunity as more powerful), losing only with Archdevils and only if during fight with Archdevils terrain blocks Hasspids.

Cove has quite a good grail (basically neverending Prayer on all Cove creatures) and only Pirate upgrades are ridicolously expensive, however they are shooting Mighty Gorgons.

What do you think? Is cove OP? Why not?

Edit: I may have not stressed this enough, but I did not know whether Cove is strong or not, as I had inconclusive evidence. Thanks to all of you for providing me detailed answers, I agree now, Cove is balanced as it has both pros and cons; being highly offensive, it lacks useful defence.

I only recently got into Heroes 3, and i started as Necropolis (hey, just to get a easier understanding of game), and I keep hearing how "cloak of undead king" is super easy to get. I've gotten ghost dragons and I haven't even gotten one of the 3 pieces.

I tried the wiki but it didn't give me a straight answer.

So as the title says: am I doing something wrong? Do city-specific artifacts require specific methods, do you need to go to a specific place, or is it just look you find them randomly in the overworld?

I have scoured the WoG website and cannot find anywhere that spells out the ERA acronym/initialism.

What do the letters ERA stand for?

I don't know why it looks different, but I think it's unnecessary and I would like to have the old one back.Is there some option window for the mod btw? Or something?

Edit: Also Orcs and Orc Chieftans...

Hello! Wow, I must be ... supremely late to this and all but I cannot for the life of me find any answers. I've only just bought this game for myself - used to sit with my father and watch him play and the nostalgia hit hard. I'm loving it so far!

Yesterday I started chipping away at the Campaigns and uh. I've used the earth spell that allows me to see the map, right? What the heck is this place? I've no idea how to get to it but it's gotta be something, right? In the air spell that shows artifacts, there were two stars in this area.

Could anyone enlighten me as to what this is, please? And how to get to it? I don't want to finish the mission without knowing. This newbie thanks you!

I'm quite of a seasoned homm3 player, been playing on and off since I was a little kid. I would say I'm pretty good, played a bit mp on gameranger a while ago (~6 years ago) but I wonder to myself is there still a place to conveniently find players with similar skills like mine, or even some kind of a matchmaking system? If so, I would be happy to get to know that platform.

When I hover over him in selection it says three stacks, but when I start the game there's only two. Anyone know why?

Since getting HotA I noticed that AI magogs can now attack next to you so they don't hit their allies, but I can't figure out how to do this myself. Any help?

Otherwise I'll just throw them in the demon farm.

Why is a 266 mb setup file taking 7-8 hours to install?

(edit) Apparently i have to buy the complete version, but it's on sale rn. Thanks for the help.

I got HOMM3 on GOG and I was wondering if I can change the display settings for it? I searched up whether I can play HOMM3 on 1080p but all I see is HD edition. Do I need to get HD edition to play on 1080p? Thanks

EDIT: Apparently it's most likely a bug of the HD mod. Unfortunate but at least restarting fixes it.

Basically, I have no idea what hotkey I pressed (and why in the world does it even exist in the first place), but now I can no longer click further ahead on the map to predict where my hero should go past whatever they can move in that exact day. Wtf did I do and how do I undo it? It's agony to figure out how far they can walk and click on that spot since I can't click further.

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a dumb question! Just got into the game about a week ago and hotkeys are forever a mistery to me!

PS: This is the unofficial HoMM3 HD mod for the Complete edition.

Yo, so I can't figure out how to make two teams be controlled by the player.
What I mean exactly is, how do I make it so I control red team, and then i pass my turn to blue, which is also "me" (my friend next to me).
I set the flag stuff but the blue team is always computer controlled :/

Someone told me that attacking from behind matters in other heroes games, but we are both unsure if it actually applies to this game

I remember back when I was playing this game as a kid, it had an eye as the icon for heroes3.exe. (probably the game without dlcs). I'd like to use that icon but I can't find it anywhere

Inferno is conisdered one of the most hardest towns in the entire game. What are some of the strategies for them? I intent on getting really good with them but i dont know the strategies except for one involving pyre and rushing them the ai with ballistics. Is there a late game strat?

Hi, I know that this isn't specifically a modder subreddit, but I have no idea where to post this..

With a program called Portraits Manager, I used to be able to edit H3bitmap.lod file which stores hero portraits.

However after I've "reinstalled" Heroes3, when I open Portraits Manager, it says:

List index out of bounds (63435)

Anyone here has experience with Portraits Manager?

edit, had to install WOG and then it worked
