There are eight different short audio clips played at the beginning of every battle in HoMM III. The corresponding file names are battle0{0..7}.wav (contained in one of the .snd archives).

How does the game choose which one to play: is it random, or does it depend on the battle terrain / other factors?

  • I plated HoMM3 A LOT, as other HoMM games, but never was able to discover any specific pattern. My bet is that they are picked in a fully random manner.

  • @acalypso, Seems like reverse engineering the code is the only way...

It's completely random from what I remember.
