Removing Reveal All from Skyship? (HoTa,HD)

Currently started playing Heroes 3 again with Hota and HD mod and ran into a familiar irritation with Heroes 3 grail.

Is there a way to disable the option on the Skyship from revealing the entire map?  For me it ruins the entire game.  Especially like this map I just started playing the first city I captured had it already and XL map all revealed.  I like playing without any way to see map other than exploring.

If anyone knows someway of disabling it please let me know or some other work around.

yeah, i can't stand the feature either. it's like inferno's "every week from now on is week of the imp". like turds in a punch bowl, they just sour the rest of the game. not like i know what turds taste like, but...

in order to circumvent the skyship problem in one of my maps, i had to create little boosts using timed events for every castle on the map(24 friggin' castles). that way, everything was equal, and nobody was able to get ahead of one another, or be allowed to ruin equal progress. i'm still ironing out the map, by playing each color to the end. and, i still have so many more tweaks, in order to convert it into a campaign map, and not a stand-alone map.

Well I hope someone knows.  Seems like by now with how much this game is modded that this would of been one of them to change.  I know in WoG your able to disable building grail in conflux option.  

I personally would like to change grail so it gives the 5000 bonus gold and +50% creatures to any town type it's built in and drop all the rest.  Those 2 options are more than enough to keep you wanting the grail and doesn't affect gameplay hugely like revealing entire map, giving all spells or changing the week of creatures.

Any HotA programmers know the answer?  I guess there isn't an easy to modify table for them?  I would like it more for personal use vrs computer.

More of HD possible thing, I doubt Hota is going to create little buttons with wog-like options.

Well I really didn't mean changing any HotA or HD since that would affect everyone and I guess it's not a big deal for most people.  Just wondering if there was an easy way I could change it. It's just something that always bothered me.  Especially if I create a giant map and gets uncovered early.

I am assuming those are offsets in the Heroes3.exe file? Do you need to change the bytes located at those 3 addresses to 'EB' to remove the map reveal?
