Just another design to improve our play sessions with Heroes of Might and Magic 3 The boardgame.

This is intended to be used both with the solo campaigns - in order to keep the AI hero and decks organized and at the ready, but also with custom campaigns, missions, co-op scenarios where you choose to also include AI opponents.

When designing this I made use of the Official Rules as well as custom rules made for custom missions, and took into consideration feedback from both the community and my friends with whom I play.
Below is a quick breakdown of the organizer tray:
The AI has the following decks

1. AI Deck

2. Spell Deck

3. Discard Pile - Considering how few cards AI decks use I decided a single discard slot works best

4. Army deck - Only the army you will face if you fight this hero - see special below

5. Special cards deck

---In campaigns and missions this can be Armies that replace random encounters THAT are not part of the AI hero army, which you need to keep prepared in advance, either on certain tiles or turn related events.

Another example here would be the fortress campaign where on every Bronze Encounter you replace the first monster with Neutral Zombies/ Skeletons etc. Multiple missions use this mechanic so I deemed it necessary and

convenient to have a dedicated slot.

---In our custom scenarios this special section can also represent reinforcements scheduled to arrive for AI hero if not dealt with by turn X.

---Part of the special deck can be Artifacts the AI hero is carrying that you need to recover-common mechanic used in custom missions we play with my group.

6. Ability/Skill slot - When AI heroes have such a card they use only one skill/ability - in custom campaigns/missions I 've used up to three-thus 3 slots. -or just to have multiple ai heroes with abilities ready to go if using single board.

7. Difficulty setting - Determines strength of AI Deck and Spell deck

---In custom scenarios we use different AI heroes with different difficulty - i.e. Turn 3 an Easy hero emerges on a map, on turn 6 a Normal Strength hero etc. I needed an easy mark on each AI board to remember these settings.

8. Movement point tracking -3 slots/2 bonus to accommodate AI Hero visiting stable etc. - honestly I kept the five cube combo to have some consistency with my Hero board - kind of an OCD thing :-D :-P

---In some custom scenarios we give bonus MP to Ai heroes for added difficulty (i.e. have them carrying boots of speed or similar artifact/skill etc. -this is a house rule but others might find it useful to have extra slot to keep track of similar customizations)

9. AI hero marker up to 6 to keep track which AI hero is 1st 2nd etc.

---If we have multiple AI heroes with same configuration we just add two or more cubes here to represent the fact that all of these AI heroes have same stuff (armies/skills/spells etc.) and use the same board.

10. Cube tray - to have easily accessible cube tokens to keep track of visited places, conquered mines etc. We use both faction cubes and black cubes here.

11. Hero figure slot -this the Round Spot at the top left corner.
