Simultaneous Turns – Horn of the Abyss / HD+ mod
Simultaneous Turns (ST) in a multiplayer game allows the players to make their turns simultaneously during a certain time period that significantly decreases gaming time. A host can activate the ST feature when starting/loading a game in “More options” HD+ where you can also set exact day (days in the game) till what day (including) the simultaneous turn is working.

Simultaneous Turns can be interrupted if both players interacted with the same objects; the game checks on it after both of them finish their turns. If it happens, both players receive a notification and the blue player must replay its last day.
ST is interrupted if the players start interacting with each other (the game checks on it right in the game process). If the players try to attack/capture each other’s hero, town or mine, then the last blue player’s turn is cancelled and it goes back to the last red player’s turn. The red player continues its turn and if he decides to attack the blue player, the blue one accepts the battle.
During the ST, auto-save only saves the game after both players have finished their turns.
The game can be downloaded from any gaming day and continued without the ST feature. You can also download any saved game where the ST was off, and continue playing with the ST on.
If Turn Timer option is on, then, during the ST, players can see both his/her and the opponent’s timer.
Very nice.. is there a way to go back to the ST mode after it has been interrupted?
No, you have to continue with the classic turn mode.
You can. Save the game, host a new lobby, load the savefile, enable ST again and it should work. I wonder if there is a command too. Reloading is annoying
Hi I recently had an issue with this mode, whenever I’m playing with my buddy online using simultaneous turns it can automatically turn off without a reason despite the fact that A: our heroes were not nearby each other, B: we did not interact with any objects that we previously attended, C: our number of turns set in the menu were set to (1127 – automatically set) and once loaded again we set it to 997. Is this any sort of a bug ? I honestly love hota when it comes to saving time.
Hi Tex, unfortunately, I don’t have much experience with multiplayer, but try to set the time to shorter, e.g.227. (997 = Month: 9, Week: 9?month is only 4 weeks, Days: 7).
I was playing this brilliant game with my friend the other day, we played simultaneous turns, we didn’t finish the game, but made a save file, but now I can’t for the life of me load this savegame file. Is there a step by step instruction somewhere?
Do you also play with HotA? If so, the saved games are in the “Games” folder in root Heroes 3 Horn of the Abyss directory.
Yes, we’re playing with HotA, when I’m in the multiplayer menu from inside the game, I can find the savegame file, but i can’t load it, I click on it and the Load butten is “greyed out”. We’ll try again tonight and I’ll post an update whether we made it or not.
We figured it out, got some great help from the people in the lobby, thanks for the reply 🙂
Is there a way to implement ST to WoG?
Unfortunately not, there are an awful lot of scripts that would interfere with ST.
