Need single player help

Hi all

I am currently playing "To Kill for power"

At the end of the month, unfortunately there was a " Gremlin population doubles".

I read that you must rather load the auto-save and replay turn  so that there is no monsters that get spread over the map.

I have reloaded the auto-save about 20 times.....and every time the same thing happens.......now is there something that i need to do different, or might this be part of the map ?


Any advice/help would be appreciated, as i don't wanna come later in the game and find myself blocked because of this.

Thank you

Re-starting the game might help, I think the game uses different RNG seed after that.

Apart from that, buying new heroes, attacking, dismissing doing other random stuff in game can change that too.

Install ERA. Install SoD mod. Tick the options you need (no week of monsters, no plague, etc in the list proposed) then play. There is no other safe solution about this.

Thank you for suggestions, I tried it but no luck.

I'm coming to think that this was planned/built into the game, is that even possible.

Please if anyone else have any other suggestion i would be happy to try it.

Once again thank you

You need Heroes complete edition or SoD. Then just double click on installer, it will install Era, then SoD mod. When game will start, will propose you this:



Any of those options improve game play without changing the mechanics. Set monsters to savage is a random map option, leave it unchecked for custom maps. If you don't need quick saves, leave them also unchecked. The others are safe.

Are you on XP ? I had this once, I solved it by reinstalling everything.

Yes installing ERA mod and SoD mod might be good idea. However, if I remember correctly, if you have HotA already installed then more severe problems can appear, right?

Of course HotA and ERA are two different things.
ERA must be installed over a clean install of homm3 Complete/SoD in order to work properly.
I have three H3 folders, one for HotA, one for ERA, and one for VCMI.
