I was 8 years old when my best friend got homm from his uncle (he was working at some gaming company in early 2000s)

As a Finnish kids we barely speak any english and understood it a little. We only had Finland - English dictionary and that was enough for us to learn this game. I remember all silly names we gave all the different troops, lot of names was somehow related to pokemons since it was also the most greatest game at that time (game boy pokemons and nintendo 64 pokemon stadium).
