Recently I've seen that there are championships in my favorite game from the childhood Heroes of Might and Magic 3, also I and my girlfriend are big fans of that game so why don't play it and feel like a child again, right?
The problem was that I'm not having a Windows machine... I have only the MacBook which runs on OS X and Thinkpad powered by Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and that was a time when I started reading and using a wine.
Also... I found that there is a cool unofficial extension Horn of the Abyss built by fans. So why not try it as well?
- Download Heroes 3 .exe file. I recommend to buy a Game from GOG: Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete (it worked for me). I heard that the Steam version is not working.
- If you are using the GOG version, go to your account and click on the bought game.
- Download game (2 parts) from offline backup game installers
Install wine (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)
Go to wine tutorial and install wine.
I used WineHQ packages commands and it worked without any issue.
Install wine (macOS Mojave 10.14.2)
Install wine on machine
Run setup
- Go to terminal and run wine and exe file
- Proceed the wizard
