Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Board game - Player dashboard & Accessories
Well, I can confirm that not having Third Upgrade sucks. A LOT. On the upside, being able to upgrade creature growth in all towns is good, as is being able to tell what all the Grails do for you.
However, I have found one (possible) bug: installing Airship in a Tower does not reveal the map. Now, it’s possible that it’s a one-off, as I only tried playing one map before giving up because there’s no TUM. But if it’s not, then we might have an issue there. Having an Airship reveal the map is one of the most critical actions in any game, which causes this bug to be especially problematic.
If you want third-tier upgrades, please go play the Third Upgrade Mod. Trying to merge every mod together, even when they don’t fit with each other, is a good way to ruin all of them.
As for the Tower’s Airship, it was intentionally removed by its creator and replaced with an effect that instantly restores a hero’s mana to full when they visit the town.
The previous version of the game had TUM, and it worked perfectly.
As for the Airship, that change is rather bad, as one can easily restore mana at a Well, making the Airship’s Restore Mana pointless. Sure, you still get the +15 to Knowledge while under siege, and that is nearly useless.
One other thing I noticed is that, when you first capture a town, if you have Two Buildings per Day option active, those towns don’t get it then, only the day after. A minor trouble, but still noticeable.
