If the saved game is not compatible with 0.74c anymore, you can use the map attached to 0000183. Start it > check hero order > save > load > see new hero order in the list.

I think sometimes towns might be re-ordered too, at least it happened to me previously.

Rechecked in 0.75 & 0.8 and I can confirm that both town & hero lists (still) get reordered when loading a saved game.

Fixed hero order in r2442; not sure if town order is fixed - any help with reproducing?

Arrogance4 map should be included in VCMI release.

Actually, it's not - at least in 0.86b. But I've downloaded it, experimented with grabbing Blue towns in order opposed to Blue's town order, saving/loading - no dice. Exact steps, anyone? :-)
I tried it without my small patch attempt, of course.

You're right. 0.86 seems to come without maps indeed. You can find the map mentioned in the 0.85 release (or any of the previous ones the last couple of years), or you can use the one from report 0000815. Both have a good number of heroes and towns.

Reproducing is very easy in 0.86, at least for the list of heroes (I think for towns it depends a bit on their upgrades). For example, if I take the map from 0000815, the game starts with Rion as first hero I believe. But if I save, then go back to Main Menu > Load Game, the game opens with Neela on top of the list, and all other 6 heroes have "scrambled" order (well, it's always the same new order, but it seems scrambled as compared to the order we get first time).

If you can't reproduce that in 0.86b, it may be fixed, but as 0.86b hasn't been released "to the public", I cannot check it yet.

Yeah, maybe I didn't make that clear, but I'm interested in towns only, I fixed heroes already. Oh well, I'll just leave it at that if I don't reproduce it for now :-)

Looks to be fixed. Can somebody reproduce this?

I cannot reproduce the town reorder issue anymore, so I'll mark this as Resolved for now. I'll reopen if I encounter it again (or open another, as the cause may be different: heroes reorder was always reproducible, towns only rarely).
