Install homm3, as long as it isn't the steam version. Then, install horn of the abyss 1.7.2. Then start the game, click new game, click multi-player, setup your mp account.

Why not, we need a date (unless what you suggest is PbM, which I don't know if Homm3 even can do)

EDIT: Also I'm one of the weirdos actually liking four, if that is of interest down the line, but I am happy to play 3 as well.

I think we just make a game for up to 8 and take turns. Only ranked games have time limits.

I have not played horn of the abyss before, can you summarize what it changes in a sentence or two?

EDIT: In any case, I am generally ready to go.

It adds 2-3 new factions, and a new building or two for each town. There aren't any balancing changes, that I'm aware of.

If I'm seeing this correctly you are going to start the game around Midnight for me, I wont be able to play at that point, maybe a round or two if we get to it fast. Timezones are ***.

I'm a father with kids and a dog so sudden interruptions can happen and they do need my time from time to time, though my work is relatively flexible I can squeeze turns in between as I work from home. Realistacally speaking I am available from 3 am to to 2pm EST. (~9 am to 8 pm on my end ) Though as long as I get a day or two ahead I certainly can play until ~6 pm EST (which is midnight for me), not every day though.

It should not depend on me, if you find many players on the American side of world then you don't have to bend yourself into a pretzel to make it work for me.

We are timewise just not aligned that well.

Correct, 2 hrs. Just leaving it open for any more takers. Could be a 3 player game against 4 npcs. Or 2 player vs 5 npcs. I don't work again for a month, so you can play whenever's convenient.
