were people who had torrented the game where forced online was disabled.

Shortly after launch, the server went down and the only people able to play. I know the even numbered HOMMs never were as great as the odd numbered ones, but seriously, how can you remove one half of the title giving elements, in this case magic aka Tower? Second, the forced being online even when in single player campaign, which I couldn't play in a team/as PvP if I wanted, has been critized about Ubisoft a lot, and in this case, it reached a crowning moment of pathetic. I bought Heroes 6 (or whatever stupid title they gave it, 'Might & Magic: Heroes'?) and that was the end.

The video below shows what particular work Ubisoft have done while creating the HD Edition. These're the screenshots from HOMM3 HD Edition - look at the resolution and the redrawn material: In 2003 they asked New World Computing to retrieve their archives for all the Might & Magic titles and RoE was the only thing that was given in terms of HOMM3. This is because Ubisoft found usable source code only for Heroes III Restoration of Erathia. No Shadow of Death and Armageddon's Blade. Heroes of Might & Magic III HD Edition will have only Restoration of Erathia and no expansions. To also please the PC fans they have worked on a Steamworks version of Heroes 3 RoE! As they say, if you want to try the game after all those years, play it again in HD and benefit from Steam multiplayer features, this version is made for you. Ubisoft's objective with HOMM3 – HD Edition is to offer a new way to experience Heroes III on iOS and Android, alone or with friends thanks to the acclaimed hotseat mode (no more boring long train journeys!). Play Heroes® III on tablets anywhere: Heroes III now features iOS and Android tablet versions, upgraded with intuitive touch controls to enjoy this passionate game experience anywhere… anytime. A new online multiplayer lobby tailored for PC: Now Steamworks compatible, the PC version of Heroes III offers an online multiplayer lobby, where you can share your experience with the Heroes® III community.

Enjoy the critically acclaimed Heroes III gameplay, with 7 exciting campaign scenarios, around 50 skirmish maps, a local multiplayer mode and a map editor. A new HD experience: re-live the Heroes III in HD, a true craftsmanship which offers players updated graphics, with wide screen compatibility. Ubisoft have announced that the most popular Heroes title of all time will soon be back in HD, fifteen years later than the vanilla game.
