Hello, first of all Hota is incompatible with Steam edition. If you're willing to play it, I suggest buying the base game from gog.com.

If you bought it from there, you can download Hota from here.

I also highly suggest downloading the hd mod, which is 100% compatible with Hota, and makes the game run in semi-hd + adds a lot of quality of life changes to the game.

Hi,

First of all, the HD Edition from Steam is a quick, cheap cash-grab by Ubisoft with only RoE in it and plenty of flaws.

The "latest" version could be HoMM3 Complete from GOG. You can also download the HD+ mod from here, which adds fullscreen and newer software compatibility, as well as bug fixes and some quality of life changes.

There are also several mods for it, among which HotA (adds Cove (Regna pirates from MM) as faction as well as plenty of changes and objects, all/most of them in the style of H3; it also has an online lobby) or WoG/ERA (ERA 2 from here and ERA 3 from here), which is a platform for plenty of mods, like 3rd Creature Upgrade (adds another upgrade to all creatures + creature banks and more stuff) or Advanced Classes mod (new skills, hero subclasses, etc.).

Might either be a regional problem or antivirus problem. Or something to do with the browser, although unlikely.

1.6.1 is the last, right?

Now because I have both, steam HD version and Gog with Hota HD version, I can see a big difference in video quality. Steam is much better...but may be I'm doing something wrong even if I changed strechable 32 bit GDI , resolution xBRZ etc....hundred times, couldnt get same image quality.

Yeah, you used the right settings for optimal quality.

Edit: You can use (stretchable) 32-bit OpenGL by Verok with xBRZ x4 + Bilinear for smoother and "HD" graphics.

I hope there will be the siren as a neutral creature associated with the cove and one or perhaps more neutral creatures ideally associated with the factory such as steel golems/torre,leprechaun,satyr/rampart etc. etc.

HD mod doesn't change the quality, it's the same as the original from 1999. Ubisoft made nicer images for the steam version, but pretty much thst is the only "good" thing about it. Steam version lacks both original expansions, so therefore things such conflux town and random map maker are lacking from it.

Steam version is also full of bugs and completely imbalanced. Not even sure the graphics are always "better", some things look quite weird in that version.

Yeah.

I actually got it for free, together with full HoMM7 with expansions.

Looking at the units and their animations is a nightmare, as well as plenty of other stuff which have wrong proportions, etc. compared to the original game.

I can't play it for more than 5 minutes, that's how bad it looks.

Hi All

I'm scratching my seemingly bi-yearly HOMM III itch.

I'm on the Horn Of The Abyss campaign and im at the mission. All hands on board!. However, when the mission starts from what i've seen, Bidley should have the horn in his inventory. But it isn't there.

I've tried starting the mission choosing all the different starting bonuses. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

FAcup

Edit: Im using porting kit on a mac if that makes a difference.

I think I've already seen this question on reddit.

I have no idea, I never bothered with continuing the campaign after the Casmetra map since it was too nuts for me (I wanted to chill and play for story, not scratch my head).

Maybe you didn't put it on Bidley the map before?

Thanks for your reply.

If you look closely at the reddit username you might see some similarities between it and mine

As soon as you kill the "boss" of the last mission she drops it. But the mission ends there. I didn't kill her with Bidley. I will try and kill her with Bidley and see what happens.

If it is indeed that I didn't kill her with Bidley, is that possibly an oversight?

Possibly, although it is impossible to do that unless you actually kill the final "boss" with Bidley. It seems weird that you have to do that. Luckily autosave is a great feature i can go do it again with Bidley.

To add an update to this. I just checked my save game. I got Bidley killed on the last scenario. I will reload at the point where i lost him and play through preserving him.

I will play through the scenario and keep him alive then come back.

I thought it was weird that he started at level 1.

If this is the case it feels like if Bidley, Tark or the other guy die the scenario should fail.

Does anyone know where I should submit a bug report?

Would it be possible to improve upon A.I. characteristics in the game?
I mean warrior,explorer,builder? I always found builder to be the most threathfull.

Warrior could  focus  more on getting creatures and upgrades.

While builder getting all aspects of the castles with caution not taking much risk maybe(which is more or less the case at the moment I guess.)

The explorer is kind of weak in bigger maps at least. It's army always fizzles and diminishes very fast in my experience.Maybe it should concentrate on low level creature upgrades,fast mage guild upgrades and war machines if they ever get improved.Maybe some inbuilt custom tactics for each faction for this one.Basic stuff (upgrade sprites/gremlins,upgrade vampires,cerber, get wyerns quick kind of stuff).

No AI should mass resources beyond 40 piece.It should sell at market price in my opinion.Also it should have more incentive to stay in combat to dish out damage.It did great in H2 actually.

Maybe the impossible could be even more impossible giving (1000xp x month number) to each A.I hero each month.

My friends and I like playing against the odds and AI.I think it adds wild cards into the equation.

What are your thoughts on getting the A.I. a bit on it's feet?It's not so bad but a bit diversity between characters and improvement wouldn't hurt.
