Rule Book Rewrite Project aims to rewrite the original HoMM 3: The Board Game rule book, in which the amount of vague language was just too vast to ignore. Its aim is to explain the rules clearly and concisely, and should eventually have an answer for any basic rules query you might have.
HoMM III: The Board Game – Rule Book Rewrite Project changelog:
Translated the rulebook to multiple languages: French, Polish, Spanish, Ukrainian are done; Russian and German are in progress. Please talk to us if you want to help with the translation.
