Lost in space with HOMM3
Hi all,
I absolutely LOVE the M&M universe and have been playing scince the start!
However after a long lay off (some of us have to work you know) I recently re-purchased HOMM3 (not complete not shadow of death, just HOMM3) I installed it and patched it up to 1.4 and cracked it to all from the TOH website.
After all that (you can prolly tell whats coming) it crashes ALL the time EVERY time it takes between 5 mins and 1/2 hour but it happends every time.
When it crashes the sound skips and the keybord and mouse no longer respond and I am forced to hard boot (using the reset button)
I am using XP and have 128mb nvidia card with 700mb of ram and 1.8 ghz processer.
I have unblocked the program from the windows firewall
I have also turned the firewall off
I have read the help from the library but still can't get it working
I apprecieate this must annoy old hands but I really wanna play, hell I paid $20 (and this the second time I've purchased it)
Please help me before it's too late

You download textfiles in which you put into your ..\Heroes3\Data folder. Rename it to RMG.txt and start a random game like usual. You can tell that it's generated from a template by saving and checking the description on the saved game afterwards, it should say something like "generated with the "thisisalolmap" template.
Good luck!

random map u say it simple if u have armagedons blade or wog have one of those? or SOD or even ROE?
if so follow these instructions :
Hi Pax
Here is your solution:
1. Open "notepad".(or "wordpad")
Press "new".
An empty page will open.
2. Press "save as".
Give the file the following name:
h3blade.exe
and save it in your Heroes directory (where the heroes.exe file is located also)
3. Press again "save as".
Give the file this name:
h3ab_bmp.lod and save it in your Data directory
Now you have to do the same procedure explained in point 3.) three more times while naming the files as follows:
h3ab_spr.lod
h3ab_ahd.snd
h3ab_ahd.vid
You have to save them in the Data directory also.
You should have created 5 files now, 1 saved in heroes directory, the other 4 in data directory.
Restart your comp, start heroes, click on "new" and then on "Random"
thanks 2 Angelito 4 this info lol

This walkthrough only helps, if he has Restoration of Erathia and Shadow of death installed.

Hi,
Hey thanks for your replys. I've been really busy with work so have not been able tyo reply (as my work takes me nowhere near a computer).
Ok there must be a way for me to get shadow of death. Surely!!
I bought the game (for the second time) of ebay (in Australia) but cannot find the expansion. My only options were 3, 4 or chronicles. I choose 3.
Does anyone know of some way to obtain the shadow of death upgrade??
Hey guys I appreciate your patience with a noob poster like me. Thanks
