Do you really think Ubi$it would give a damn about that?

Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia actually had a Linux version. Sadly, Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade and Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death did not, but Heroes of Might and Magic III HD does not include those expansion packs anyway. A Linux version of Heroes of Might and Magic III HD is more than welcome according to my wallet.

Amazing game like this deserves to have Linux client, they should make it!

If you guys want to play H3 on Linux natively there is VCMI project:
http://forum.vcmi.eu/portal.php
It's almost ready, supports modding and have several advantages over running H3 in Wine.

1) Use normal OS - Windows 7.
2) HMM3, as i remember, was DX7. There is no normal DX support under *nix. And never will be.

This is Ubi$oft, there won't be a Linux/Mac/SteamOS port.
@Solarrus
Ubuntu is mine "normal OS". Also what is "normal DX"? Is that a new IT Standard, "normal"? Please post some links to a paper, what is "normal".

Really? Why isn't *nix OS Normal? Frankly I use Linux more than Windows. And I got them both installed on my computer

Chances are that if you are a Linux user, you won't be going back to Windows. I haven't used Windows since Steam came out for Linux back in February of 2013, and even accidentally deleted Windows since then but realised I only needed the files on that partition, not Windows itself.

With Age of Wonders III having been confirmed for Linux and receiving regular developer updates, and with Endless Legend coming to Linux as well at some point, I certainly won't be going back to Windows just for Heroes of Might and Magic III HD, especially since Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia had a Linux client back in the day, as stated earlier.

1) Normal to whom? Where I'm from it's pretty common to have a Ubuntu Dual boot.
2) DirectX9 support has already been achieved[souppenguin.com], and while it's still not 100% finished support it already runs as good as OpenGL in wine. DirectX7 could not only already run fine with this feature, but you could port the game to OpenGL with minimal effort.
