    Interesting that this is on front page. I thought HOMM is quite niche right now. I'm still spending some time on HOMM3 and recently created mcp for Claude Code (with opus 5.5) to play it - you can look at short playthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/live/uU-vvTOZFQY

    It is not good at it! And very slow! I tried to improve, teach strategies, write some analysis scripts, etc. Did not help much.

      I think HOMM2/3 is pretty well known to mid thirties.

    Oh, I loved HOMAM 3 - and this made me google a bit and there is also an engine for it for Linux: https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi

    Not quite HOMAM2 but.

    I have such fond memories of HOMAM3 and playing it in hot seat mode as a kid.

    Interestingly the game is still massively popular in ex-Warsaw Pact countries. Although I think it’s having a resurgence in the US too.

    The added features look like a comprehensive back port of Heroes 3.
