Shameless plug: if you're still into H3 there is almost complete open source implementation with mods support written from scratch in C++. Also there is built-in mods support.

Unfortunately I'm no longer actively participate, but project is still going strong.

Thanks! Surprised to see this. Looks like a good chance to read some 2D game source code :)

To be honest it's mixed bunch because project started more than 10 years ago and there is both: some decent code as well as terrible one.

Good sides: it's fully client-server, AI implemented via pluggable libraries while all saving / networking implemented using serialization based off Boost.Serialization.
