INSTALLATION:
To install V1.5, 1.0 must be installed first, the installation method it's the same for both files. Those who already downloaded the NCP, just download the 1.0 to 1.5 file.
V1.0 DOWNLOAD: http://www.mediafire.com/?wfxmjrjmm0b
V1.0 to 1.5 DOWNLOAD: http://www.mediafire.com/?igmgzmulb0m
1. Extract all the files where you got HOMMIII Installed, by example C:\Program Files\3DO\Heroes 3 Complete , and replace if asked.
2. Run H3wUpd.exe to install the new content.
3. Run Heroes3HDSetup.exe and choose the resolution for your game, it will create new exe files to play with the new resolutions, h3wog.exe_HD.exe to play WOG or Heroes32.exe_HD.exe to play HIII Complete, by example.
4. Just PLAY using one of the new executables, do shortcuts if you want. Remember, the commanders and the new battlefields only appear in WOG, and only if they are enabled in Wog Options (Commanders are enabled by default but New Battlefields aren't).
ENJOY

- If you don't like one of the new sounds, you can delete it manually on the data folder.
- If you don't like the new hero sprites Valery did a wog file to revert them to the original way, it's also included in the package. Just put it on the update folder and run H3wUpd.exe.
- If you don't like the yellow hexgrid the green one (NCP1.0) is included, just rename CCellgridGREEN.pcx to CCellgrid.pcx
- The NCP is intended to be used along with the HD patch. If you can't use the HD executables for some reason, just use the original executables, but the commanders may not look as good as in HD and the new adventure map panel will not work.
