So, welcome.
Was`nt playd H3 from a lot years, before one week start again.
I was world class, now seeking great opponents to play Hamachi.

Atm yet mine skill is not like was.
I was knew it every unit and ability.
I play at only 200%, vs 7 comps in a team in any size from S to XL, without save.

U can contact me skype coldie1 or kpetrov.ibox@gmail.com

Also, will not be bad if we made some tournament, i wanna play with world class players.

No WoG, its a noob version, SoD or earlier, prefer SoD.

New to the forum

Hey guys! New to the forum, but a regular poster over at r/HoMM

I've made a single player HotA map, any suggestions to where I could post it to get some playtesters?

I'm confused, somebody please set me straight.

I've been using WoG 3.58 since I was a teen, but now I want to see what is new, but not sure what's what. I believe that VCMI is a work in progress open source remake of Heroes 3, and HotA is an exe modification of SoD, and there's this Era thing? Is that the successor to WoG? And how do things interact with the HD mod?

No, HotA is not an exe modification of SoD. It's unofficial add-on in old-fashion style, like years ago Armageddon Blade and Shadow of Death. Require SoD or Heroes Complete to run, but it has its own exe, heroes3.exe remains untouched, so you can always launch SoD app. Compatibility with HD-mod 100 %.

Yes, VCMI is a work in progress open source remake of Heroes 3. Playable but far from finish for now. Advantage of this platform is possibly to add new content without replacing existing. Compatibility with HD-mod - 0 %, because vcmi has itw own hd-mod thing itself..

And yes, ERA is the successor to WoG. You can say it's WoG 3.59, but technically it's a platform for erm-based mod management (lots of oustanding mods). Compatibility with HD-mod only to 4.205 version.

Thanks, good to know It's a shame the more advanced HD features don't work with Era, the quick combat and other cool features. Still at least I get to have WoG in one install and HotA in another install.

At least most of the best features can be replicated with era mods. And what the hell's up with the pikeman...

Except the battle simulator, I don't know any HD features not working with Era. Something new from the latest upgrade?

The main thing I was checking was the quick combat and apply results thing, although the buy all creatures button we have to use the ERM one instead of the HD mod one. The hotkeys don't seem to work either for things like splitting stacks either

Is there a way to get back the old resource icons and such? There's an SoD mod but it seems to work inconsistently and doesn't fix pikeman. Might have download and install to fix it myself

Buy all and splitting stacks work from HD, just tweak your HD settings. As for pikeman, it is Hota version which is in Era, only graphic change.

Thanks for the nudges in the right direction. Do you use the latest HD mod with Era or the 4.2 one?

I personally dislike WoG but it's nice to see that people put much effort into this (maybe except the creatures).

Here is the newest fact about W.o.G.

W.o.G.'s executable file to copy in the Heroes 3 Complete's main folder is called: allinone_358f.exe and, can be downloaded via a web-site called dbolical.com. dbolical is a group of companies that specializes in keeping and restoring all kinds of very popular files from long ago. Through this link: ModDB's direct link to the modification launchable file.

W.o.G. can, now, be overwritten by another modification called Heroes 3 HD+.

Where in which W.o.G. 3.5.8f has its own renewed .exe file called: Heroes3wog_HD.exe that can be used by a switch like start menu window that lets you select which executable file you wish to use in order to launch the proper type/version of the game of Heroes 3(post S.o.D. and Complete editions).

I just did so very early this morning/night time hours and, tested them accordingly/properly.

Note: Only the people that still have the original copies of R.o.E., A.B. and, S.o.D. can see a totally different start menu window that gets to state that their game has been overly modded over by this newest mod. of Heroes 3 HD+. These people will see that their game is past the version # of W.o.G.(example: 3.66 up to 5.0 Beta 10 instead of 3.5.8f).

Enjoy your renewed game of Heroes 3 HD+!

____________
Now, all 7 titles can be played on Windows 10 Home/Pro Editions. Thanks to the good ole' Gog.com people, all the series can be played on any decent multi-core PC.

nope. newest WoG is part of ERA II. Both old WoG 3.58f and new ERA II (including newest one) work with newest HD mod. Yeah you should not have old WoG 3.58f (nor older) in your H3 folder for addons/mods to install properly. For always have an original copy let buy digital copy on GoG.com and you always can redownload.

I can swear I saw an option to make creature caches to respawn (as the Naga Bank), but now I can't find it in the WoG menu, (Maybe I'm confusing with cache, and dwellings, defenders growth which is awesome). Is there a way to make caches to respawn after a week, or a month, or something similar?
