@Shandyr, that's about the conclusion I drew from reading websites and forums. Thanks, I'll stay away from it, then. But also thanks for sharing the music.
I wish I could find a track of the short battle music motif that played when you had battle animations turned on. I think most people played with them turned off, to speed up the gameplay, but I always had them on. I loved those little cartoons - they really increased my immersion in the game.

I'm still thinking that one of these from MM6 was also used for a snow terrain theme in one of the HoMM games, but I can't pinpoint it.
