I must tell that I like Ring of Oblivion very much, it's totally new effect with interesting strategical impact. It can be cool twist in a single-player scenario where players tend to rise entire army with resurection

However, Cove artifacts could use some combo. I'm dissapointed that there is none

As you can see in the picture, I lost my hero yet I don't lose the game (neither I can win, since I have no tavern).

I think it's not a bug, but a feature.

There already are 15 combo artifacts, I think another one would be unnecessary for now.

3 BUGS I've got the GOG version of the game.

1) The Frost Ring spell is not rendered. You can only hear its sound.

2) During battle the Medusa's shadow flickers constantly (near the creature number indicator). The Medusa Queen looks OK.

3) I'm not sure, but it seems that the Efreeti "breathes" too quickly (during battle).

Had a crash, here is the log on pastebin

This is original game bug with music.
There are 3 ways to avoid it.
- Play with HD-mod (but for now better without HD+ and not with "32 bit MMX" or "32 bit True" render - there can be some bugs (hope they will be fixed soon)).
- Set music volume in game to 0 and play without music
- Set compatibility with "Windows 98" to game exe-file.

...




Are you going to fix this music bug in HotA (without the HD Mod) in the future? I can see that people discuss the issue quite often on HoMM 3 forums.

Yes, we have plans of creation at least two neutrals: "Lobstrosity" ...




Do you want to create it as an Easter egg monster ? Then it's fine, it'd be an awesome tribute. Its name and its look are too funny for a typical monster.

What is the HotA crew's view on diplomacy? Is there any changes planned to it or is it even feasible ATM? (without ERM).

...




I also feel that something has to be done about diplomacy. During tournaments it is not uncommon that this skill is treated as too powerful.

There's a tiny glitch with the object shadow as shown. It's kinda hard to see, I guess.

There's also some typos in the credits as highlighted. Not sure that the name in Russian is a typo, though, or there's just no English version of it. But I guess the credits are subject to change, anyhow.

bug

Thanks for the team.

I've found a bug.
Started new scenario randomly get Dungeon (doubt it does matter but in case it does).
Now each time I try to build citadel (autosave) in my town I build it successfully but after that while exiting city menu got crash.
However it is possible to build something else like battle academy.

I've got a program exception when I clicked on 'yes' of the patch dialog.

Will try the download link now.

Edit: 158 MB. Are we supposed to install that on a clean Heroes 3 Complete folder?

My game updated fine and I got 'success' and the end of patching.

However, when I know try to launch the map editor afterward I get the error 'bad Image'. The editor worked before patching.

h3hota.exe seem to work fine, though.

Edit:

My version is English complete edition (not gog)

short note: campaigns are exceptionally hard to play(where i play as normal without trying to kite AI endlessly or do some spell rotations by locking mobs forever..

But what i liked most is the maps and scenarios are amazing just like cutscenes! Very well done.

Superb job Docent!

Btw. is 1.3.1 available as a separate file to download or we can only update the game via the patcher?

EDIT: I somehow missed the mirror links to separate 1.3.1 file that Docent posted above. Sorry about that

Keep up the good work HOTA crew!

Damn, they even made an auto-update application like in a real game!?

And they don't even take money for it...

Did you guys think about Kickstarter or some other crowdfunding s*it? Maybe it will give you resources (and "motivation" ) to make more content (and faster). I suppose many forum user or fan sites would donate the project as there are still many fans out there who would love to see a full-fledged expansion to Heroes III. And if I'm correct, previous right owners don't give a damn about this game, so just maybe...

I really doubt Ubi wouldn't step in seeing someone trying to actually make money on the HoMM games.

+++ Change request: Lower Morale by 1(ONE) (until next battle) for Each Crypt or Graveyard visit (Even if with units inside, (ATM you loose all morale even on successful Warior's Tomb and -2 luck on Pramid).

+++ Change request: Lower luck by 1 for Imp Cache Visits. (Maybe on Beholders' Sanctuary also)

These minor changes to comonly visited objects on rmg will add some more strategy to the game, by giving more presence to luck, morale factor.
- Will make you take crypts with secondary heroes.
- Will force you to visit Idols and Fountains of Fortune and stuff, that no-one visits anyway (Except for increased movement speed).
- Will give more importance to +1 Morale/Luck slot eating artifacts.

While I try to use auto-update I get unexpected exception. Launcher succesfully loads update info and asks me if I want to download update or not. When I click yes I get the exception (it seems that exception gets raised while trying to parse int32 to string).

Exception raised : http://pastebin.com/maWHFAJa

EDIT : Forgot to mention that I tried to change system language to english and that I'm using heroes 3 complete version

Crash report.

Info:

The game crashes when in battle against neutral gold dragons and I click on the clone spell in the book. Hero is Eovacius with expert water magic.

Crash happens consistently, every time. Also, the crash doesn't seem to happen when flighting against some of the other creatures; trolls is one of them.

Crash log

Edit:

Crash log2

Here's another one. Same hero, same situation, but in battle against a Temple of the Sea.

-*-*-*-*-

Another thing I noticed.

Haspids and doesn't the new idle animation type.
