NOT RECOMMENDED. All you do in this variety of Heroes 3 rip-off is MOVING YOUR DUDES and HEALING YOUR DUDES. That's what you'll spend most of your time managing. The HoMM formula, as a surprise to absolutely no one, gets vastly worse with this busywork metagame of constantly toiling to keep your stacks over zero HP. Even the champion stacks die super easily. The game WILL NOT RUN OUT OF THE BOX. You have two ways to change that: a) Enable Win95 combatibility and select the 800x600 resolution. b) Download the gl wrapper of Verokster for the game and turn off D3D. (The wrapper is quirky, so might need to mess with the About... windows to "wake it up." The original HoMM table top formula is so mangled and replaced with much less functional mechanics, that the only part intact and somewhat working, is: moving the units on the grid. Nothing else. Despite some improvements with the UI and graphics, the palette porridge and the same convoluted ways to perform actions still remain. You still need to go through about four windows AND have unused Leadership of the city, just to recruit a unit stack, so that you can drag it to your hero unit that for some reason cannot use its own reserve slots for recruiting. There are better games than this one. Even HoMM 3, despite that being more of a repetitive number-cruncher than a fun video game. Giving games a chance definitely did not pan out with the Disciples series, no sir.
