It's compatible with Complete. What they mean is it's incompatible if you have Restoration of Erathia only or Restoration of Erathia with Armageddon's Blade only.

Ok, thank you. I will make sure to download that patch then.

Edit: That was strange, when trying to download the patch, it originally defaulted to HoMM 3 (not Complete), but I don't even have that on my computer. I had to browse for the Complete folder under my GOG games.

It installed fine, but the other thing that is strange is even though my HoMM 3: Complete is through GOG games, playing the new HoMM 3: HD is through it's own launcher, separate from GOG. So my HoMM 3: Complete from GOG is not being played, if that makes sense. I can still launch HoMM 3: Complete through GOG, but it isn't the HD version.

If I play the HD version, I won't gain any achievements via GOG, but that's alright.

I'm so glad I found this thread :-) I had played all HOMAM games years ago (never finished the first one though, I intend to try it again, I was quite a noob back then) and now I finally got to playing Might & Magic games as well and I was thinking a lot about the order I want to play them. Chronological or release date?

I read your arguments, ZFR, and they are very sound and solid and I guess they can really be applied on any series (so my other dilema with Asimov's Foundation is also solved now ;-) ).
