    Hey, I have a question.

    Which is the best or recommended way to use ERA 3?

    – using the launcher?
    – using the gaming build?

    In the “Empire of the World III update for ERA 3” post, it is said: “works only with clean ERA 3 installation”. When I use the launcher, is that a clean ERA 3 installation?

      Hi Haloterm,

      right now if you want to play ERA 3, the launcher is perfect for me. Gaming build is no longer developed (but in its latest version it is perfectly playable).

      The pure version of ERA 3 is only Heroes 3 Complete + ERA 3, no other modifications (In addition to those recommended by the author himself.).

      So Empire of the World III is not good to run through Launcher or Gaming build.

        Thanks for the answer!

        But when I use the launcher and switch off all other mods in the mod Manager except ERA itself, it should work, right?
