But I will quote myself - The two DLC's that were released after the game came out in the 1990’s. Armageddon's Blade (has new content and is quite good) and The Shadow of Death (skippable has no new content out of the base game).
I played both in the 90's and when GOG released complete and I still think SOD is not worth it, AB is well worth a play and its cheap on GOG to try. My opinion.
Lets put it this way, if someone asks me if they should get the game I'll ALWAYS say get the HD remake, its VERY well done and your not missing anything. HOMM III without the two DLC releases is still one the best games ever made.
There is NOTHING wrong with the spell "Town portal". If anything it should be on LESS maps. The moment you get it - you win. That is how powerful it is - or gamebreaking.
The spell is added - I guess - randomly, to Mage Guilds, or is part of the rules for that particular map (set by the map maker)
Starting the map to check if its activated is to me like cheating. But everyone do what they like.
There is also some very powerful Air spells for fast movement, like FLY or DIMENSION DOOR. They restrict the movement of the player more "sensible" and feels more natural and fun. Jumping over a mountain in ONE turn, when the AI thinks you are 3 turns away, is always great fun.
To those who find the game HARD ; Are you playing the campaign or singel maps ? The campaign have the difficulty locked to every map. On singel maps, you can set the difficulty your self (and other options)
If you are struggling, lower the difficulty. It takes TIME to master the game well.
When playing, I focus on ONE main (super) hero. On bigger maps, maximum 2.
I rush out very fast, and use "scouts" (heroes with no army) to scout the map in 2-3 directions. They also pick up all the recourses. The Main hero pick up almost nothing. He PUSHES into the map. The Scouts also run out more troops to the main hero. He almost never RETURNS to the starting castle.
In battle I play VERY defensive, and almost always let the enemy get to me. I prefer to boost up/add many ranged soldiers and keep them secure behind others troops.
Some heroes makes ranged soldiers more powerful, others boost swordsmen or horsemen. Pick your favorite.
I think the best strategy to win is to be agressive. Preserve troops as best you can. Use scouts to remove fog of war, find resorces and locate enemy castles. Not focus on high magic level early on, and only on big maps.
I have played for MANY years/hours. But I never play above level HARD. I feel that is most fun.
EDIT : Did a play with a official XL map now. Level Hard. In the FIRST week I got the Earth Magic skill. Just before the start of the third month, I got the Town Portal from a captured city. The Mage Guild was already at level 4, and I just upgraded it to level 5 to see what the last spell was. I also already had Expert Wisdom, and 100 mana points (200 from Dungeon faction, Mana vortex)
So...I could jump 5-6 (?) castles every day, or jump 3 similar castles every week and boost up the army. The enemy never got hold of ANY captured castles, because I could jump straight to that castle, and block him off, or attack him. Didnt even bother to end the map...
Its been found.

The source code was found around two year ago and Ubisoft now has it. They are just not willing to.
Any news about Heroes of Might and Magic III: Complete on Steam ?
Gives me hope, actually .
I do understand that some of your are quite keen to know where we stand in relation to having Complete Edition available on Steam.
As of right now, we're waiting for further information, therefore if we will have any and as soon as we do, we will try to keep you up to date with it.
Thank you for bearing with us and if you do happen to have any other suggestions to make (I certainly didn't miss the request of having some of the other titles in Complete Edition too) or if you do have any queries or difficulties, feel free to drop us a message at any time!
