Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Succession Wars is a fan-made total conversion modification of Heroes of Might and Magic III, which aims to recreate the unique atmosphere of its prequel, Heroes of Might and Magic II, and to provide qualitatively new gaming impressions to the fans of both games.

The further development of the project intends lore integration with the Might&Magic series by New World Computing with attention to earlier games of the series.

This thread will contain official announcements. General information will be provided in the top post.

It looks awesome. That would be a modded version I would like to play, given H2 was my favorite. :-D

Besides graphics, Heroes of Might and Magic II original soundtrack was one of the main features responsible for the unique gaming atmosphere. Since the objectives of Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Succession Wars include enrichment of Heroes II legacy as well as preserving the mentioned atmosphere, we are happy to present our very first OST created to enhance the sound variety and let the players be absorbed into the magical world of Enroth once again under the tracks by Paul Anthony Romero and, from now on, also the new music created by the project team.

Amazing work guys! I really dig Hoeroes 2 art put onto Heroes3 gameplay logic. though you are not just making graphics overhaul, but putting your own twist into everything (especially seen in unit lineups). good job! Can wait for the release!

Sorry to bump such an old (stickied) topic, but I figured I'd mention that this mod is still getting updates.

Just a couple of months ago (as of this post), they released a new update video showcasing the better town screens, Heroes II-styled spell animations, and a few other things. It's pretty wild and very impressive.

Little bit of a ramble, here, but I was never a huge fan of the style of the "Enroth" games. See, when New World Computing made Heroes III, they wanted to tie into the new mainline games more-so than the first two Heroes games. In doing so, they switched from the cartoon-y graphics of the "Ancients universe" games and went with the more photo-realistic / CGI style of the "Enroth" games (Might and Magic VI onward). Yes, the first two Heroes games are, indeed, set in Enroth, but it wasn't until Heroes III that their art / graphic style matched up. As such, I never really got into III as much as I did II or even I. Coming back and watching some Heroes III videos, I can see what a huge jump in quality it is, much like II was to I. I can also see that despite the new looks… it's still very similar to the games I grew up with.

A project like this takes a lot of commitment and hard work. The fact that this isn't just a simple sprite-swap or something says a lot about the people who work on it. As huge fan of The Succession Wars, this is something that's right up my alley and I very much appreciate all the effort that's gone into this – particularly when it comes to the maps. They didn't just convert Heroes II maps. They even converted some maps from Heroes I! But moreover, having the look of Heroes II and the gameplay changes of Heroes III in one convenient package is just… really amazing. I wish I'd know about this sooner! This is really great!
I'm not that hard to find… if you know where to look.
