HoTA for me since I always have weird technical problems when I try to install anything WOG or ERA based...
This is my problem. I have my GOG version downloaded here and I often make totally new installs to try post 2.46 (I guess) Era but even when I get it to work once, it all crumbles down soon...
For instance, I already played Tew III once but when I tried it last week, in the same directory, it gives me an error and disables the script... Tried this and that but end up giving up, cause I don't have the patience to redo everything one more time. Enjoying Lexyav's journey anyway.
So, it's HotA for me, specially cause of the Template Editor cause when you master it, you can create your own map structure in a few days but I still think HotA lacks the malleability of Era. If you are going to spend hundreds of hours drawing a map, there is something to be said about being able to code everything you want.

Why not launcher? It's for noobs. No worries! I'm noob too.. If I remember right, 6k or 8k noobs are joined to launcher club.. I don't want to join club, but I've launcher. How? Download it link: https://heroes3wog.net/heroes-3-launcher-download/ without problem.. Launcher install for you!  Then launcher asks you join to their club for you get a update, chat community, etc Only I try my the best to update.. Later on I join club.. No worries! Remember WoG/ERA is 100 times better than 3.58f.. So it's going well for you!

I'm blaming those constant updates for the new errors... I may be wrong, though.

Yes.. They update again.. I had problem with newspells by AlexSpl, etc didn't work.. Now's ok.. In club you can return the matter, if you find something.. You know thing is never perfect.. HotA 1.5.0 something was huge bugs.. You see everything is the same thing.. But you can download and you don't use it, when you've large byte i.e. harddisk.. If you want!

It is in the rar file name, I think is 321, then 123, just look
Bersy had to compress it, otherwise Google drive is deleting it, it says virus.

And I get: The code execution cannot proceed because mss32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
and the same for binkw32.dll
-------
And now, not only I'm not playing, I'm also being an annoyance to you two. That just confirms what I was saying: it's much easier to play HotA occasionally but if you have the time and patience to invest, Era has a lot more to offer.

Not for me.
Unless you aren't talking about double clicking the Era 3.9.5 Compat file... That I tried several times.
P.S. Found the problem, I needed to install the game first and wasn't doing it. Thx, guys.

This is a garbage thread, not exactly the same as doing it in Tribute to Strategists. But no, I has an avid user of Era but after the problems with 2.46, I started using HotA more and more and till today haven't managed to play Era for long, two or three maps last year and that's it.
What I'm becoming is one of those old farts that can't even operate the TV command...

Sorry, my bad. I understood Sal had compressed his entire directory with everything already working.
I'm playing TEW III right now and everything is incredibly stable.
Thanks to all.

For a guy who was playing wog for the first time, he did great. For my map standards, he butchered it.
