Yes I placed 3 Town Gates in the map, but when I removed them it worked again.
Thank you very much.

I'll admit I wasn't a terrible fan of the satyr when it was introduced but after playing Might and Magic 6: The Mandate of Heaven this new mind flayer unit agrees with me in all the right places. Great job!
And I'd like to add to the voices discouraging attempting to "balance" the game by changing skills and spells. That sort of thing feels like it goes away from the vanilla H3 too much, HotA is best when it's just acting like SoD/AB; Being a quality and explainable addition modpack that feels like it belongs in the HOMM universe.

Don't forget HotA already changed Necromancy and Scouting. And Scouting benefits might heroes most, which generally already seems to be better than magic heroes. Why not help out magic heroes by making Eagle Eye, First Aid and Mysticism better and Learning as it is now does'nt really do anything at all.
But I guess there is no point in debating how the skills should be, let's just trust HotA crew knows what's best. They won't listen anyway.

I think the link to the tool should also be added to the main post.
And/Or maybe the main post should contain a list of links to update posts.
People who are not regulars on this forum probably won't know such a tool exist without reading all the posts.

I'm already unhappy with the changes they made to nerf necromancy into the ground. I wish they hadn't. Part of the classic heroes game is finding out the OP stuff and having fun with it to see how powerful you can get.

Ehm okay?, that I disagree with completely.
Necropolis and Conflux was extremely overpowered before and why else would they be banned in so many situations. Nerfing Necromancy and Conflux was some of the best stuff that have ever happened to Heroes 3.

Necromancy is more or less well as it is now... only problem for me atm the "Necrotic Amplifier", 5% isn't really worth to build it imho (you need it anyways for vamps). But I agree on more than one town (chance is damn low) it could be very strong on 10%. But it's super rare to find another Necropolis town on actual RMG. As for scouting, more use now, but still... meh... But we'll see how it ends. Lets hope that HD-Mod and simultanous turns works out well over time, and hopefully they maybe add a lobby where ppl can meet and battle together. If the game gets more and more competative, it leads more and more to balance, but we need an observe mode/game playbacks or lots of ppl using twich or something for sharing.

Can't get the save game converter to work. It's finding the files but giving a can't read file error.
It's running in admin and in the root folder. No passwords for the save games.
Suggestions?

The changes they made are ace.
I think (at least hope) the HotA crew is interested in making HotA more attractive to multiplayer gamers and enabling multiplayer games without ridiculous "Don't do this, don't do that" rules which result in not using half of the game content.

Good job hota team, nice artwork!
I have tons of suggestions, but gonna write down just this one:
- As we already have "quest guard", it would be awesome to have the "quest gate". It has the same properties as quest guard, but it will not disappear after the quest is complete.
It would mean a lot to mapmaker like me

Thanks Zigge777,
I found a bug in savefile converter that affects HD-mod savefiles.
Here is an updated version :

I'm having a problem getting the game to even run.
I'm using the HoMM3 HD Launcher. Last night I was able to start HotA no problem. Fast forward to today and when i go to hit "Play" I get the following window pop up with this text....
"Error #13: Folder/Data does not exist."
I did a Google search for this and nothing is coming up. Anyone know the fix to this?
Thanks!

If you want to focus on making the game into a nerfed e-sport, that's what you should use major change mods like WoG for, not something like HotA that aspires to be a third expansion for the game. Part of what the vanilla heroes is about and that makes it memorable is finding all of the OP stuff and having fun however you want to. Just don't use it if you consider it OP. I don't use conflux, and it's not a problem to me.

i am very interested in the mummies(or any alternate versions besides the homm3 mummy and what can be found in the wog creature bank) shown in this screen:
is there a chance that they are available, or will be, in the future? this screen was from 2008, so the chances might be slim; i understand that.

"Just don't use" is not a valid excuse to me, it means I have to limit my gameplay and who says other players or the ai will do that. I refuse to use Town Portal, DD, Cloak of the Undead King, Armageddon's Blade and Shackles Of War for the same reason, I think they break the game. And that's why I dissable them in the editor, I wish I could use them, but I just can't in their current state.
Btw I don't like WoG, I prefer classic heroes.

I am sorry to interrupt this discussion but I have literally JUST discovered these boards and am mind blown how I could have been so out of date and how I never realized that HMM 3 has such a strong community.
I am still a fan of HMM3 and still play it to this day. I play HMM3 Complete and I thought that was the last thing ever to come out.
Please tell me, how far behind am I and where can I get new stuff?
I am so happy to have found these boards. People talking about HMM 3. My dad (60) and myself (33) have been playing this game on LAN for years. It's a bit harder now days ofc as I don't exactly live with my parents any more but sometimes I just grab my lap top and go there for a day so my dad and I can play Can't wait to tell him there's more then we knew about
____________
I played HMM2, liked it a lot. I play HMM3 to this day and think it is the best of the series. I tried versions pass HMM3, none of them came even close.
