HoMM3

Heroes 3, probably still most successful game in the series, spiritual successor of Heroes 2, after all - it's based on the same engine. There also exists Heroes 3 HD by Ubisoft but it's missing both Add-Ons, Armagedon Blade and Shadow of Death - on the other hand, Ubisoft released it also as an Android game. Developed by 3DO and published by NWC. Among with Heroes 4, it have the best map editors which warranted thousands of maps and campaigns created. Recommended mod here is ERA2, which is "WoGified", meaning that it contains WoG, in a way. WoG 3.59 is still along the way but there is plenty of other fan mods, like Horn of Abyss. If you would like just the vanilla game, certainly install HD mod by baratorch. This one is already included in ERA2. Should mention also VCMI, which is not a mod but a new engine, with everything written a new, reusing game assets, adding new ones and having version for Android too.

  • Heroes Chronicles Overview

    Our resident historian Marzhin wrote a detailed plot summary (with an introduction by rogue) for all eight chapters of Heroes Chronicles, the standalone Heroes III scenarios that were published by 3DO a couple of years ago. The long quest of Tarnum, the same character that was part of the Heroes of Might and Magic IV chaos campaign, begins in Warlords of the Wasteland:

    "This story takes place before the foundation of the kingdom of Erathia. Once upon a time, the great

  • Artifacts

    After revisiting the creatures of Heroes of Might and Magic III, CloudRiderX spent some time digging among the ruins of Erathia to recover the artifacts of that past era. In this section designed by Robenhagen, artifacts and treasures are sorted based on their location on the hero paper doll and on their effects. The pictures shown come from the map editor, so hopefully the section will be useful to the Heroes III mapmakers.

    Pitsu's foreword

    A good strategy game is never limited to a single protocol that always leads to the victory. To be victorious in Heroes of Might and Magic III one can take several paths, some of which are very efficient and some are close to a failure. Which strategy to use, depends heavily on map design, opponent, difficulty level and a lot of details. Yet, leaving aside some extraordinary situations one

  • The Samaritan → Gaia, Where Are You?

    Recommended bonus: none, pick whatever spell you wish (I chose magic arrow)

    So you start near a destroyed ship. Go up one square from your starting position and search for survivors (you will be asked if you want to look for survivors). You should have 11 grand elves. Visit the nearby wagon to gain 5 ore. Go to the Home of Ekaterin and she will ask you to clean her husband's obelisk. Go to the Lost Soul (looks like a wraith) and agree to help. Go to the obelisk nearby (which should be black), and then back to

  • In The Wake of Gods → Gorynich

    Recommended bonus: whatever you wish (I chose wizardry)

    First, collect all the resources around. When you find a chest, and you have to choose between 0 gold and -500 experience, choose 0 gold because you WILL have -500 exp. While exploring, you should find a monk. Don't visit him unless you see the puzzle and the other monks east. After that, talk to him and he will disappear and give you access to the puzzle. This is probably the trickiest part of the map. What you have to do is, make a column of the same
