Unlocking H3 campaigns. Please help
This is my first post. I've just joined here. I've been playing heroes on and off for a while, and I just started with the Heroes 3 campaigns.
Now, here's the problem, I do a game save every day and when I'm finished a campaign, I move those campaign game saves off into a subfolder in my Heroes 3 directory.
Anyway, I've just finished Long Live The Queen, Dungeons And Devils, and Spoils Of War. I'm quite disappointed to find that nothing has changed in the list of campaigns available. Damnit! I spent weeks of my free time doing those campaigns and nothing.
Now, I did a bit of searching on the web, and I found something that mentioned getting a secret campaign by loading the save game when you finish a campaign. I tried this with one of my campaigns, and I got a tick on the Long Live The Queen campaign. Oh goody. Then I copied my Dungeons and Devil last save into the game save directory and loaded that one. Now I have a tick next to Dungeons And Devils. Wait, no tick next to the Long Live the Queen campaign. Then I loaded the Spoils of War campaign and I got the tick there too. WTF?! No other ticks? !@%@$^@#@!!!
Ok. So I'm posting here in hope that someone knows how to fix this. Anyone?

If you have finsihed a campaign, you should NOT start the next by clicking NEW...CAMPAIGN..and then chose the one you want, but load the last save of the last scenario of the last campaign. When finished, you automatically get back to the campaign screne where the campaign you've just finsihed is marked with a "v". From THIS screen, you have to chose and start the next campaign. When finished, you again come back to the campaign screen where you will find both campaigns "marked" with "done". Then you chose the next...and so on. The secret campaign will be available when ALL campaigns are marked as done.

Thanks for stopping by. I figured that's where I went wrong. Also, can you load your finished ROE save to continue with an AB or SOD campaign or do you just start a new one there?
Now, I'm trying to figure out how to fix it without losing all my work. Could I just load my finished Long Live The Queen campaign and then use the level cheat to finish campaign 2 - Dungeons and Devils and campaign 4 - Spoils Of War, to then complete further campaigns, or would those further campaigns also be labelled cheater? I'm also wondering, and this would be tricky to answer without having been the one that wrote the code for the game saves, would there be a cheater mark in my campaign game save somewhere?
I definitely don't want to have to play those same campaigns twice in almost succession in order to simply continue my campaigns.

Once you've cheated, all further games (campaigns) are marked as cheater in the highscore table.
All campaigns of the other versions (AB, SoD) are stand alone campaigns without connection to the other versions, but still work the same way as those in RoE refering to the way how the have to be palyed/finished to make other campaigns available. They also have at least one hidden campaign.
I can send you a save from my own if you like, so you could continue from a point much further.

I have uploaded the last save after the first 3 campaigns are done.
Click
Now you can start with campaign 4 and/or 5.

Oh ok. So is this the one with just campaigns 1 Long Live the Queen, 2 Dungeons and Devils, and 4 Spoils Of War done? Edit: Yes, I see it is. I'm surprised you have just what I need. Thanks. Besides that, it looks like there's no other way of unlocking it without doing it again or cheating.

I feel your pain. I did the exact same thing the other day by accident. Finished Long Live the Queen and then started a new one to do Dungeons and Devils. After completing Dungeons and Devils only to notice I didn't have a tick in Long Live the Queen I just decided to move onto Spoils of War and rush through Long Live the Queen when I was done. It goes pretty quick if you just rush with unupgraded dwellings etc. Just stomach it out, don't cheat. I learnt alot by rushing those campaigns and it has made me a better player.
After you finish all the unlockable campaigns the secret one will appear. I won't give away any spoilers but it wasn't the most fun I've had. However since I'm one of those people who have to complete absolutely everything I finished it in an hour or 2. Busy on the Dungeon Campaign of Armageddons Blade now. So far it's really fun =)
Edit: Didn't read Angelito already gave you the saves. Bad habbit :<. I'd still recommend playing them over though. As I said it has improved my gameplay by quite bit ^^
