Morale and Luck are predictable in HoMM III!
Do you believe me if I say that I can catch morale and/or luck to all my army all over the battle? But this is true!

If you know Russian you can read this thread.
I've written a program which can predict morale and luck in the battle (download, russian interface and instructions only, sorry). If you are interesting, I can create english version.
heroes3.exe generates and stores a special pseudorandom value in the operative memory (Let it be R, DWORD). This value is changing in cycles of creatures' animation. I know how. My program READS this value and predicts whether Morale and/or Luck are possible at the current moment by signalizing.
Do you know that HoMM III program checks the next conditions: mod(R, 24) + 1 <= M (M - Morale of units) for Morale or mod(R, 24) + 1 <= L (L - Luck of units) for Luck (Replace the first condition by mod(R, 12) + 1 <= -M for negative Morale)? If this condition is true you will catch Morale and Luck. Be sure!
Sorry for mistakes. English is not my native language.

It will be good if you explain how the program signal for possible moral. When? Just before turn of the unit? Because that way its useless.
You have nothing to do at that moment, you just watch as it happen. To be usefull you need to know before your turn.
And another aspect is - if we can predict moral - whats the point of it? Let just elliminate leadership and moral for neutral creatures and play without them.

The program predicts morale and/or luck BEFORE player's turn. You don't need to eliminate leadership and luck skills. You should think about how to restrict to use such a program on tournaments!

And what was the point of creating such a program in the first place ?

To proove my theory. I thought it's impossible to catch morale and luck to all my army. But I know how to improve the mechanics of morale and luck. To make it work like in HoMM II.

BTW - your program cant find the heroes.exe file. It says - program not found.

The program works correctly with the localized version of HoMM III only. And it is not a problem to make the program work with all versions. But what for?
