Avoiding Youtube strikes for using HoMM3 music in videos
So basically, this problem has been reported in several places for the last few weeks, and I got in touch with Lexiav, a HoMM youtuber doing HoMM3 guides and streams (this is his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkxNYuY3_FbVAmaTB9O5C6Q) and he told me that he managed to get whitelisted by filling in this formular: https://www.haawk.com/whitelist
Apparently, HoMM3's music copy rights is currently managed by someone or a company called Haawk (so it's still owned by Ubisoft).
Anyway, I hope this info will be helpful to anyone with this issue!

That seems like mistake to me, the company making the claim (stomprecords) has nothing to do with Heroes. Furthermore I would bet that Heroes music rights are owned by Ubisoft.
It's unfortunate, that if you make a claim, you don't need to prove it, neither it is being verified. And it does affect thousand of videos and youtubers.
I'm also under suspicition that within EU this doesn't comply with current laws. As it certainly doesn't in our country.

One of YouTube's problems is Google's refusal to adopt a decent appeals process for this kind of claim. Not so long ago, I had a record company lay claim to a music track I used in one of my videos. I had licensed it from a creator, which should have been a good defense assuming the creator (a respected company) hadn't stolen it. Given the fact that the video in question had been up seven years before the album supposedly infringed had been published, the claim was ridiculous on its face. But instead of processing appeals itself, YouTube makes the original claimant the sole judge of the appeal on its own claim. Copyright trolls use this method to gain revenue from advertising money generated by videos to which they have no legitimate claim. But unless one wants to spend a lot of money suing them, there is no recourse.
