    There are a few bugs:
    – rename heroes is still active (and can’t be disabled)
    – inspector achievement (i think) from era scripts ranks up for every captured mine instead of every other captured mine.
    – needs better compatibility with mithril smelter script.

        Thanks. Better yet you coud implement the mithril smelter mod as an option in the core game.

          Hi! Thanks for the report. The Inspector achievement issue has been fixed and would be pushed to the launcher updater soon.

          About Hero renaming, we actually decided to make it enabled by default. This leaves more space in the wog menu. Is there anything that makes you want to disable it?

            Yes, I have Usain Bolt mod that does something when clicking the hero name and it interferes with hero renaming.

            Also any update on implementing Mithril smelter mod?

            And this is more of a request but The medicine script used to give 5% health per level instead of 1/2/3. Any chance you could make this change because it made much more sense to be a percent bonus.

            Thanks.

    Is there a guide to how to install the launcher, i have regular Era 3 installed. So what do i need to do in order to install the launcher? Or do i even need it.
    Do i have to install it into my era / homm3 folder?
    No information available at all.
    Could use some answers thx.

        So you install it in a seperate folder from where i installed homm3 and era already? That was the only part which was confusing.

          Hi, I have prepared a new updated guide, see the video: https://youtu.be/5z0qsRMXIHo

          (there is no need for a separate installation of H3 or ERA, the installer prepares everything himself)
