actually they called "sprites" but nevermind - you can call them all way they are - images, renders, pictures...photos =)

Cadre is not image, it is staff.

Ha, I wish I knew that before I made it into my Heroes 1 & 2 resource editors.

fixed problem of bigger monsters. new ones looks siilar size as ordinary mm8 monsters but still got +50-100% better quality.

due to different appearance new creatures got new abilities - so archer lizards now can shoot, warriors got stronger armor and witch doctors can cast spells and drain life (non completed ability)

Ah, 'vanilla' means unpatched and unmodded.

The dragon on the first shot show my emotion, lol!
P.S. Do these new ogres drop axes instead of swords?

I liked the lizard people they way they were

.

And I'm a bit confused about this, is this a total conversion like TCC or more an expansion?

I always thought that mm8 itself was good, but only lacks more content like a longer story, more deeper conflicts (dark/light, dragon/warrior), a second promotion and mm6ish big high level dungeons.

it won't be TCC remake. it will keep original base mm8 storyline but will be expanded as you thought. i can't promise you deepest dundeon but mike kienberger helps much with his editor and if there will be a possibility to create a dungeons - we will completly use it. now we can create only outdoor maps.

unfortunatly it is impossible to add one more promotion of extra classes. the only thing we can do - change existing ones. classes are hardcoded in EXE file and even grayface got alot of trouble to pasre it.

Wow this mod looks awesome. Best of luck with it and thanks for your time, much appreciated!

I look forward trying it one day.

By the way are you planing on enhancing just the creatures or structures (temples, forts and houses) as well?

monsters, foliage, spells, classes, skills, quests, locations etc.

unique look of unique bosses!

now you will be able to see the boss in a crowd!
but not only appearance is unique! now bosses are really BOSSES - enhanced skills and stats, new abilities and spells. you will need more EXP and skills to be able to beat them up!

Awesome bosses Vlad! It reminds me of Crusaders of Might and Magic a bit - especially his weapon.

A question - will you be able to enhance things such as the sky and the rain with Grayface's new enhancement tool?
