I got bored with Diablo 2 (though my wife still plays it occasionally),
so I haven't tried it.
Loki didn't do the expansions for Heroes III. And Shadow of Death (with the
nocd executable) doesn't work under Wine on Fedora. I prefer Battle for
Wesnoth, but for team play with my wife, she likes Heroes III better.
We need at least the first expansion though, as we play random maps.
