Allright, that's a good thing!

so they got stuck in the beta loop before they released it?... sad

It's actually good news, this project is still very much new, and they will surely release something, because they obviously have something in their hat. Rushing things too much is not good either, quality work is welcomed. I look forward to see the results.

Good to hear, quality over quantity

Take the time you need, you never said an especific date, just an orientative one, and if you can't finish it with that time, no worries.

Just keep the good work!

Us HOMM fans wait with baited breath for this newest edition. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait, especially if the screenshots are anything to go by!!

31. new map objects, including a worldmap model for the pirate hero, Gazebo (works similar to heroes II), the Youth Fountain (all of the hero's creatures get a +25% health boost until the end of the next battle), the Ocean's Teardrop artifact and the brand new Pirate Battleship, a special class of ships available in the Cove town class exclusively

32. monsters in battle: Sorceress, different types of pirates (pirate / corsair/ daredevil), Sea Dogs / Swashbucklers and the Sea Serpent.

33. monsters in battle: the second hero type seen in combat (femele). The Nyx models were subject to a few cosmetical changes, Sorceress, and Sea Serpent on his way to kick some beholder ass

Btw, the aspid has almost no volume on it's ''body''. Hope is improved in the future

Looking great! Can't wait to play it. Keep it up guys

Call me stupid, but I've forgot how will this be installed? Over original SOD or with WOG?

darknessfood · Unread postby **darknessfood** » 11 Mar 2009, 14:47

Both...

Will any custom scripts we've made for WoG be overwritten or disappear if HoA is installed?

Oh Gods, this modification looks incredible. New quality in HoMM franchise, and what's the most important - made by gamers for gamers. From what I've seen, HotA will be so magical, this mood is fenomenal. Artifacts, creatures, map objects - it's obvious that You - HotA devs - strictly love and feel HoMM universe. When I'm looking at screens, I have this strange feeling, similiar to reaction, when i played HoMM for the first time, it's near mental orgasm;) Best wishes to You, thanks for Your effort, and good luck.

This is fantastic, you got some professionals working on this project! I can't wait to play it.

The best part (which i hate with WOG

) is that the game balance (creatures, stats, etc.) will remain unchanged...

I believe that this 'add-on' game will provide hours, even years of entertainment!

Really, this looks SO F*UCKING AWESOME!!! Can't wait to get my hands on this, for reall. Question, it also works with the Ubi complete version, right?

Spartak · Unread postby **Spartak** » 01 Apr 2009, 17:16

darknessfood,
Hota will be mounted on original version of the game "heroes: SoD"

(or Most likely install on "heroes: Platinum/Gold")
This question is not solved yet

I sorry for my English

Allrighty. Otherwise it's going to my mate and take the game from him!
