=== HotA Fixes Not Included in [[Heroes 3 HD|HD/HD+]] ===

* '''When flying over a guarded tile when said tile is the final destination of the flight, the combat will now not be triggered before the tile in question is in fact reached. Thus, incorrect positioning of a hero performing the flight is fixed'''
* '''Fixed limited ammo incorrect behavior.'''
** War Machines cannot shoot with a zero or negative ammunition. If the war machine cannot shoot it skips a turn in the same manner as First Aid Tent when it has nobody to heal. Arrow Towers have unlimited ammo.
** Added a shot cost for shooting at the wall.
** Fixed a bug with double shooting with a single remaining shot.
* '''Fixed the "neutrals carrying" bug.'''
** Now if there are neutrals in the army, even if in first slots, the hero cannot ignore the terrain penalty due to the fact that this terrain is home terrain for some creature. The hero moves across any terrain without penalty if it he has no creatures.
* '''Fixed an incorrect calculation of bonus damage for Arrow Towers.'''
** Now the additional damage of Towers is correctly calculated with all the modifiers. Attention: the Arrow Tower attack is 10 and defending hero attack and archery skill work for Arrow Tower. That is why the result damage of Arrow Tower is significantly greater than in original game, is which the Arrow Tower attack was counted as 0 and hero skills did not affected its damage.
* '''Fixed incorrect intervals between offers to take Wisdom and Air/Water/Fire/Earth Magic for Elementalist.'''
** Earlier Elementalist was offered Wisdom no later than 6 levels after the previous offer, and the all types of Magic were offered every 4 as for all Might heroes. Now Wisdom and all types of Magic are offered no later than level 3, as for all Magic Heroes.
* '''Fixed the overflow of hero primary skills, experience and (partially) stack numbers. Maximum possible hero level is now 74.'''
* '''Fixed a bug where AI could fly using the Water Walk spell.'''
* '''Water events now can be trigger only by hero on boat.'''
* '''Fixed a bug where creatures could be granted multiple times from a one-time local event.'''
* '''Fixed a bug where an upgraded unit of monsters vanished after a battle.'''
* '''Lighthouse in Castle now adds bonus only to its owner heroes.'''
* '''Fixed a bug where stacks could be slain using the Earthquake spell.'''
* '''Fixed a bug where a stack start turn initialization in battle was incorrect in case at this round it gets turn for the first time only in wait phase. This bug could cause AI freeze.'''
* '''Fixed a bug bug where a hero's last stack could be disbanded in the Kingdom Overview screen.'''
* '''Fixed a bug when battle machines were included in the cost of buyout.'''
* '''Fixed a bug when buying a hero out, improving the Scouting skill, or using an artifact regarding the view radius. Previously, the view radius was updating after the move.'''
* '''Fixed an AI bug in Tactics phase that moved a two-hex creature 1 hex closer to the enemy than the skill permitted.'''
* '''AI now can use Berserk spell.'''
* '''Badge of Courage no more gives mind spell immunity.'''
* '''Fixed a bug with Harpy return after the Dendroid attack.'''
* '''Fixed a bug with Forgetfulness being mass effective already at an advanced water magic.'''
* '''Fixed a bug when summoned and sacrificed creatures could be raised using necromancy. It also worked on raised demons (not counting the original demon creature).'''
* '''Starting skills: Uland's Wisdom and Deemer's Scouting - downgraded from Adv. to Basic (each of them has 2 starting skills).'''
* '''Roland’s specialty now affects Swordsmen and not only Crusaders.'''
* '''University does not offer necromancy anymore.'''
* '''The damage for spell shown in the spell description now accounts for the hero specialization if the damage is not dependant on the target parameters (as for Luna and Ciele).'''
* '''When Artillery skill guarantees increased Ballista and Cannon damage, it will now be displayed when checking potential damage.'''
* '''Fixed a bug when a player could once again visit the Sirens after a combat.'''
* '''Fixed a bug where a player could abuse the Admiral's Hat for endless movement points. Absence of recalculation of movement points after hero fled in naval battle is also fixed.'''
* '''Fixed non-centered images of monsters on map:'''
