I was sure I posted to thank you yesterday but seems I was dizzy. Anyhow, thanks, tactics seem to work fine now. No need for my save to be modified, I wasn't using the Mysticism script because I didn't like the second part of it, but I wanted to use it for the first part, so I can use it from now on

I had same problem which is due to GF editor patch most likely, data is corrupted after certain manipulations with editor. Try to undo what you did, resave and only then start again. Editor errors can be located by deleting x/y columns one by one. Upload your map if stuck.
Keeping backups from one work session to another is a must.
Well, the last thing I did was placing an artifact (with different def) on the map, so I deleted that artifact and I could save the map. But now it doesn't really matter what I do. Every two or three moves I make, regardless of what they are, the error comes back. I can make it go away I discovered, by changing a town's owner and back again. The last big thing I did before the first error was writing a script. But the editor itself can't read scripts, right?
Anyway, thanks for the response. I can continue on the map now, even though I have to distract the editor every two saves or so. I'll keep backups from now on.

The tactics modified script stopped working on these saves. It's from a LAN game, I'm playing tan, the other human player is playing purple. It worked fine for months, even after killing some AI heroes.
After defeating the hero Ryland (not sure if he had tactics or not since the fight was easy) it stopped working for the tan player (still works fine for the purple player). The funny thing is, it doesn't work on my turn (tan), but when I got attacked by an enemy AI hero between turns it worked fine again, only to stop working again on my turn.
EDIT: Managed to recruit Ryland, the hero I defeated before the skill broke, and he had Expert Tactics.

I think your lan game was started before you replaced tactics. Remember to press F12 to old saves, to update script. If not, I have no idea, as when I did F12 tactics worked.

No, after you gave me the fixes I reinstalled the game on both comps, making sure to do it with the same options on each of them. Game was started afterwards  Thing is, I did F12 as well and it didn't work, so something's definitely weird.
EDIT: I copied the .erm file modification again and pressing F12 fixes it. Quite confused, since I'm sure I did it when I installed the game, so either I didn't, either something weirder happened. I guess I can only keep playing and see what happens.

For me there is no doubt that your save was not updated since on my system it worked, but I am not the best. A sure way to check is to open saves in hex editor and look if VRv36:S0 is in, but I don't know how to do that.

"Tactics Broken.GM2" does not contain VRv36:S0. I think we've all had memory lapses - at least I have.
Game files are compressed in gzip format. After uncompressing them, they can be edited with a hex editor, to fix script bugs for instance. This is probably becoming a lost art thanks to Bersy's F12 function. (Extracting scripts with F11 should also show the discrepancy.)

Is there a way for Cover of Darkness to be cast on the first turn of the match?
Using a very big map with a lot for AI to process, one of the players, Tower, has the Skyship I know that Skyship doesn't undo Cover of Darkness from that object on the map, is there a way to have one Cover of Darkness encompass the entire map?
(Would like it for under, and above ground, but I could use two or more Covers of Darkness, it's a XL map, also, I would want it to only be used on the Day 1, at the start of the game.)

A slight glitch in ERA2.3 - after reloading scripts with F12 few times (two or three IIRC) the keyboard stops working, the rollover bar (the one where hints appear) holds only underscore symbol (as if one were to type a message there), but no text appears there.
Pressing "tab", typing anything and pressing "enter" fixes this, so it's not really a big deal. Anyway, normally during gameplay you don't reload scripts as often as I do now.

Starverse, check out that Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is off and game has rights to write in its directory.
solitaire345, it's never happened to me. Perhaps some local problem.

Uhm. That indeed could be related to something in my VM, because now this doesn't happen to me. I'll write if I figure exact steps how to reproduce such behavior.

Possibly 64 bits. It's not the first report on Windows 7, 64 bits. I don't have any working station to test.

Hello, I occasionally play H3 with WoG and I wonder about few things...
It probably had already been discussed few times, but is there any good reason why experience bonuses of normal and upgraded units vary so much sometimes?
Dwarves are good example - with all advantages of upgraded version it really seems to me that Shield with it's 15 or 30 % reduced damage is really potent.
Making choice frustrating, since while upgraded is generally way more interesting, particularly that they have acceptable speed, normal version seems better at taking damage, which Dwarves are pretty much for.
There are other examples, and it really seem inelegant to me. Maybe it's intended - to promote choice, but....

If you're running Windows 7 64 bits, set compatibility mode for h3era.exe to Windows 98.
