What advantage does VCMI have over the HD Mod?

I guess trying to play on your "mobile device", cause that's what you want to do for sure.

Guess you love it then, since you have that much in common.

It's definitely the best way to play HOMMIII in all its glory.

VCMI? I doubt that

HotA is polished and vanilla-friendly and has a great MP lobby, plus people still find WoG/Era a lot interesting and fun. VCMI is kinda nowhere (a platform with potential but none gave life to it yet)

Honestly? I didn't understand... "Nowhere?" VCMI is where it's at: A rewrite of the HoMMIII engine; support for several community mods and support by many localizations. Understand it as a "hub" that makes managing these things easier and even slightly improves the graphics and field of view of the vanilla version. Regarding the quote, here is one: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Game_engine_recreations_and_source_ports
Note: TBS section.

Unfortunately the GOG version does not start correctly on Windows 7 and much less on Windows 10, by my side. And there is also no localization for Brazilian Portuguese, my native language. Previously I used this to fix the graphics: https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw
Note: A quality wrapper, by the way.

VCMI works very well in its current state as well and is a great entry point for newbies. Installation is also simpler than making pie.

Like I said, other than running it on a mobile device, this makes zero sense over HD even before considering HotA.

Edit: And there's no reason why GOG's H3 Complete wouldn't run on win7/10. Something must be seriously wrong on your side.
