How to break the creature limit
Hello, how could I break the creature limit of 255 creatures? I need to know, because I am a team member for the Lizards' town. Please tell me, because otherwise Lizards' town will replace another town, and I don't want to replace anything.. 
Do you know how to break the limit? If then, please tell me.

Well as i dont know much of the game mechanics including the creature cap, i would suggest asking the HotA team =)
As they will add 3 new towns without replacing any towns^^

They are active and they know english. But...
HotA devs said they had overcome this limit, but CoreWog team (who are 3.59 developers) didn't believe them. It seems to be the true but anyway you need to do some (not simple) changes in exe-file and you can hardly find anywhere manual about this.
Btw, 3.59 (as its developers say) will allow us to create our own units and put it easily into the game.

Yes, but I got to break the limit this month, otherwise some towns will be replaced. Do you know how I can change in the .exe file? I need a program, right? If so, please give me a link.

Cool, but I don't have time to wait for 3.59 <_>

Not active? For instance, Docent Picolan visits HotA topic every week, he also uses ICQ.
Undoubtfully the only way is to ask the biggest developing teams. I'm sure about HotA and CoreWog, dunno about vcmi.

vcmi is the only one that you should be sure of because they are re writing the game and the said that one the features will be no creatures limit

I've just checked the code and there's no creature limit already, however we can't make use of it so far.
Afaik SoD map format can support two-byte creatures indexes (up to 32K), but the game itself doesn't manage so high values and it requires complex code changes.

So do I. But I don't understand the whole mess with creature limits. We know that is 256. But... number of creatures in H3+WoG is about 150! So there's still cca 100 unused places! Making animation is hard, so don't bother with creature cap, problem is lack of artistic skills!

OK, my mistake. Now I counted 207 units. One town needs 2*7 levels + 8 level unit + 2 slots for commander = 17 units. So we have free slot for almost 3 towns. For now - we don't have any.

From what I read at your Lizard community, there would be no 8th level creatures, which would free a few slots for your boss upgrades.
If I misunderstood, please tell me

How could I talk to them? They don't have an English forum. I can't speak russian, and in the middle of a russian conversation I arrive there, and then I randomly speak english?
