[HoMM2] Enabling the Removed "Wait" Command?

Unread postby Jo Li KMC » 29 Nov 2022, 02:00

Alright, so. I've pretty much scoured the Internet, searching for any and all information that I could about Heroes of Might and Magic II having a "Wait" command. Like in Heroes III, it puts your unit at the bottom of the turn order in any given round of combat, adding to the strategic element of the game.

Spoiler: Research and More Research…

Whether you read all of that or not, here's the bottom line: I just want to know if there's a relatively easy way to (re?-)enable the lost Wait command in any version of Heroes of Might and Magic II. I'd really like it if someone could figure out how to do this in every version, but at this point, I'm perfectly willing to settle for absolutely any version. Mostly, I'm curious about how much of an impact this actually makes to the game, but I'd also like to add this information to The Cutting Room Floor so it doesn't become completely lost to time. The more information, the better.

Thank you for reading.
I'm not that hard to find… if you know where to look.

Hi, I also intensively work on HoMM and M&M TCRF pages. While I was looking for more info about the "wait" option, I've found this thread, where AlexSpl was closely testing new function:

If you want to check it in action, look for AlexSpl patches on this site:

I know russian a bit, but I didn't have time to translate it nor to ask AlexSpl about more details. It looks like he only had to assign "W" button to the remaining code. I think that definitely he is the person that can help your find the rest of your answers ;)

On the bottom of second page of the thread AlexSpl is also explaining interesting facts about HoMM2 command line, that also might be translated for TCRF, if someone will have time.
