Yes, the crash problem was solved! You were right! The game crashes, when the orange hero enters the conflux and there uses the artifact merchant. Now I skipped a turn and everything works perfect!
Thank you!

By the way, is there a special reason why you can't play RoE/AB/SoD campaigns in HotA?
After extensive playing with Necropolis, which I admittedly never had done before at great length, for I just didn't like it, I am under the impression that the only major balancing issue left with HotA is about Necromancy. Especially on big random maps or with Isra/Vidomina it is improperly superior.
What to do?
Necromancy effect could by lowered to 8%/16%/25%, amplifier bonus down to 8%, specialty bonus down to 3% per level / Skeleton stats could be lowered or Destroy Undead spell could be strengthened.
Other than that it occured to me that Necromancy's effect could be curtailed to only necromance human-like creatures, since Necropolis' Skeletons are human skeletons (albeit they might represent all kinds of skeletons).
With "human-like creatures" I'm referiing to: humans,dwarfs,elves,pegasi,gremlins,mages,genies,gogs,demons,pit fiends,efreeti,troglodytes,minotaurs,goblins,wolf riders,orc,ogre,cyclopes,gnolls,lizardmen,sprites,elementals,
nymph,mate,pirate,sea priestess,nix,peasants,halflings,boars
Killed undead units shouldn't be resurrected a second time.

Why? Don't you like environmentaly friendly necromancers who recycle old bones? 
The idea of resurrecting only humanoid creatures sounds logical (the process of raising human skeleton from a wyvern is probably... weird), but together with lowered percentages it might become underpowered.

Hi,
Firstly, I want to say that Cove is great work, well done Hota Crew! I am impressed how well you have fitted it into existing game, into existing nations and world. It really feels like done by original NWC team, music is perfect and the town itself is beautiful.
I do also appreciate how you managed to give us nation which is different from others, in the sense of tactics and units. Cove is interesting as a nation, having relatively strong shooters (lev. 5 and high lev. 3), while weak fliers (lev. 4 and in practice lev. 1). This is different, and if you think about it, there was no nation in H3 that did not have any flyer nor shooter on two highest levels (6 and 7). I like it, because forces me to play Cove in absolutely different way, something new.
While almost every part of the work is perfect, there is one which imho needs a tiny improvement, and it is balance. As mentioned, Cove does not have any ranged/flying units on top levels, and in general its flyers are weak. As people tested before, Sea Vipers lose to Archangels and Black Dragons in 1v1 fight. What is more, these have extra properties which don't show in 1v1 (like flying, resurrection or 2 hex attack).
And now compare: Black Dragon is stronger, is a flyer, has 2 hex attack and cost 4000 gold. Sea Vipers are weaker and with no such abilities, and cost 5000. This is why I would suggest reducing the price of the latter, maybe by a 1000?

I check the forum daily. I can't wait to play it with my friends. All the best to the people who are working on this and to my fellow heroes.

I'm curious about the new spells and artifacts, what you mentioned in the starting post. I didn't find any in HotA 1.2. Maybe in 1.3?
Are there any planned deadlines of new versions, what you can share with us or they will just be released "soon"?

A lot of things have changed since it was announced on first time, so they may not add new spells...don't take it for granted

From what I read, its extremely hard to add new spells if not impossible. It could happen in the far future.

Eh doesn't Sagamosa mod already have the option for you to create spell?! I also remember that there are mods out there that have new spells. Just no animations though, so I guess that is the biggest problem for creating a new spell.
That said I hope Water Magic could have a high level offensive spell (blizzard or absolute zero). Air has Chain Lighting/Titan Lightning, Fire has Armageddon, Earth has Implosion/Resurrection (count in since it requires SP)/Meteor Shower. Frost Ring is just not enough for me  .

I don't think adding new animations to spells would be difficult to these guys. There is the new implosion anime in HotA, what is beautiful imo!
When the AI first used it against me, I was just snowed up.... What the hack was that??? A new spell? I found out later.... And it was necessary too, because the original implosion animation was so ridiculous (That brown snow comes down from the air... )
In heroes 2 there were two big destruction spells, the armageddon, and some armageddon-like air magic, starfall, or whatever..
I don't know how difficult is to add new contents, like spells but years ago it was said there is impossible to add new towns because the max number was 9. But now, we have the 10th town too 
And what about Rune magic? They will cost spell points, or resources like in Heroes 5? That was a good system, I liked it.

I also agree that a few extra spells would be fresh air, like a heavy water damage spell like mentioned above.
Personally, I'd love to have separated versions of single and mass spells, being mass spells 1 or 2 levels above the single version. It would help a lot in balance, making Lvl 3 spells much more usefull (mass haste/slow for example) and not so important to have expert air/earth.
However, since HotA team have said several times they want to stick to NWC spirit, I doubt they'd make such kind of changes

Personally I don't wanna Wog-like heroes, I want a working map editor with all the new buildings implemented in HotA, and start to manufacture my own worlds! (and an english version of course, because I'm tired of google translate  )
I have a quite good pirate XL scenario, what I started to build before Cove town. But now it needs a redesign...

I don't know whether this has to do anything with HotA but the team seems to work alot with the Forge town currently.
This is the Naga Tank made by Axolotl and I must say that it is amazing. I dig Axolotl's work more than Alexandr by now (who seems to be MIA as far as I know).
HOWever... I also have a small complaint, the animation has many frames and makes it seem non-Heroes like.

Not to burst your bubble here but AFAIK this one has been brought up several times before...
That being said, I have mixed feelings about it. For a level 7 unit, I would much prefer a bit different design - but that's just me.
(TIP: there are 3 different hyperlinks in there)

Well, I for one I think that the "high tech" ones, are too "out of the game" to say the least... and the other ones are chopped and mashed up old units... don't want to offend anyone for their work, I do appreciate the amount of effort they've put in all of that, but the product isn't as original as other work we've seen around here.
Thanks

Same here. I'm glad and thankful that the Hota team did a standard expansion

To be honest, I'm not a fan of any of these models.

The only thing that I don't like about this Tank is that it is expected to be 7th level. Except that, it's quite good and definitely the first Tank animation ever which is good enough.
Initially, I was not sure if it should be that hi-tech, and electricity etc. However - the Grail was Tesla Coil, so - there WAS electricity in the Forge.
