Some questions!!!
Hi! First of all Happy New Year!!!! I have a question. I have this problem. Whenever I play heroes iii i have this urge for example if I upgrade a monster like a goblin to a hobgoblin I will disregard my plan for building and just focus on upgrading monsters even though some upgrades arent worth it or too expensive. I also like to put all monsters of the same town together and never spilt. For example for necropolis I still would put walking dead in my army even tho it's slow. And lastly I hate mixing monsters from other towns. I guess I just like seeing an upgraded army of the same tier from one to seven. However because of my requirement I end up losing. I also panic when I see an enemy approaching and I send all my forces to destroy it even tho it may be a scout or decoy. Any advice to give a new player like me? I hope I ain't the only one with this problems. Also what town would you recommend for me?

Im pretty bad player but:
1) Play rampart if its standard random maps.
2) Youre other problems are emotional, not tactical. Try to stay calm and rational when playing IF you think you would enjoy the game more this way. Actually I envy people who build stuff just because it looks cool even though it obviously leads to defeat 
Good luck!

Hey everyone, wish you a very happy New Year! Sorry to use this thread but I can't create a new one.
I would like to ask for your help regarding an odd bug that happened to me yesterday while playing HOMM In the Wake of Gods. The situation is the following:
Me and a friend of mine were playing hot seat MP in an alliance vs 6 AI opponents on the Illusion World 2 map (I was playing blue rampart, my friend was playing red castle). After approximately 3 or 4 months time played, my friend's main hero used the town portal skill to teleport from my capital to his. Afterwards, he bought a ship to continue his travels but after ending his turn, graphically his hero was still in my capital and I could put him outside the town. However, he appeared not as a rider but as a ship (on the land outside the town). Then, somehow, by shuffling the army slots and several attempts, his hero returned to his control but he appeared twice on his hero control node in the right part of the screen. However, at that point MY main hero had simply vanished from my control - she was present on the map and I could interact with her through other heroes (exchanging armies and artifacts) but I could not select and move her any longer. Any advice on how to fix the bug? Loading previous saves doesn't work since we already saved from the point on when the bug occured.

It sounds like you've already identified some of your errors, so at the risk of being flippant ... don't do those.
Why not check that approaching enemy with a right click? Or your own scout/decoy?
Personally, I keep a list of monsters for each faction that I will or won't keep around for the early game, and a separate list for the endfight. For instance, I wouldn't want walking dead/zombies for playing the map or for the endfight, almost ever (not that I play necro basically ever.) In most situations, there should be a better option for an addition to your endfight army - angels from conservatories, wyverns from dragonfly hives, good creature from a conquered castle, or from an external dwelling.
You can try to plan your endfight army relatively early just by seeing what's on the map in the first week. Then, plan accordingly, trying to lose as few creatures as possible that you plan to use at the end, and having a plan to get that army to your main hero before your opponent shows up (or, preferably, before you show up in his territory.)
Every rule that you make for yourself that restricts your options is an advantage to your opponent. I used to take WAY too few risks with my early army - preferring to wait and get stronger before taking on fights. All that did was mean I developed more slowly than my opponent, and that my map-clearing techniques failed to improve since I was always being a little conservative and not practicing/experimenting with new map-fighting techniques.

I have a similar situation in that I've only just joined and can't create my own thread, so I'm posting my question here. Apologies to Berubo for using their thread to do it!
I've been playing Heroes III for over a decade and WOG for the past few years, so I'm fairly experienced and have never had too many bug issues. After a format I've only just last week reinstalled the following: Heroes III; Armageddon's Blade; Shadow Of Death; WOG allinone 358f; & New Objects Version 1.09.
My bug problems started after a brief test game of WOG 358f. It would freeze on a Heroes supplied brown error screen and crash the game, so I installed the new objects 1.09 patch in the hope it would fix the problem. It hasn't, and in fact as I get up to month 5 in this current random map the problem is becoming far more frequent.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is WOG 358f a problem?
