Is it possible to disable the accumulation of units in external dwellings in HotA? I'm asking because I'm playing the SoD campaign and it breaks the balance in places (AI isn't very good at optimizing its turns and buying troops from external dwellings every week, but with HotA, this is no longer an issue). Just to give an example, on the map South of Hell, in the original H3 the AI was able to have about 13 Devils week 5, with HotA however, it had 45 Devils.

They are, but you can export them from SoD and import them under HotA.

I don't really get the point of playing original campaigns under Hota, they would need to get adapted to the changes this addon brought.

It's not that bad, I like the enhancements that come with HotA. Yes, you have to be aware, that the campaigns were not designed with HotA in mind, but it's manageable and I actually prefer it to the original. Also campaigns are not the only issue, I would like to play H3 scenarios too.

That, unfortunately, I do not know. I know there are various tools out there to do that, but I've never really used them. Hopefully someone with more knowledge on that subject can answer that for you .

You can use the guide [url=http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=26941]here[/url]

Just put the extracted .h3c files in the maps folder and play them as custom campaigns in HotA.

Just keep in mind they are not supported, so some of them won't work. For example, I was playing Unholly Alliance, and after I defeated Gelu, Gem, Yog and Crag Hack with Sandro, in next scenario I did not have Gelu at all, and Gem started with level 1.

Here are all extracted files from ROE, AB and SOD. Difficulty unlocked.

If I remember correctly, the Gem thing is a bug. Gem can appear as a random hero in tavern prior to her scenario. If you hire Gem and don't dismiss her before the map is won, the "real" Gem that you level up won't carry over.

I didn't hire her. I think it has something to do with defeating Gem and Gelu with Sandro in scenario before, though I'm not sure.

I have no idea what causes it, but I recommend either updating manually by donwloading the latest version from the first post and installing it on top of yours or auto-updating by deleting the file "HotA_settings.ini"

Can you give us some information about Forge? It has been almost 3 years since last news. Is it still in development? How many % of town is completed? Can you show us some screenshots? Is it possible to  be released in 2016?

Forge is off, like every other town. Like Nik stated at least 5-6 times in this thread in the past months.

I've relesed latest townscreen for everybody to use a year ago.
And it means there'll be no forge in hota. Maybe there'll be tech-based town to explain forge's original story but no chances it'll look similar to what NWC did.

So this means there might be a Forge after all? I heard not every NWC member was happy with the concept unveiled back in the days, that some wanted something more Jules Vernesque.. If true, and that HotA does it, would be a premiere and a real piece of history in the tradition IMO
