I installed this mod today. I'm starting to explore it by playing through the scenarios and Campaigns included in the collection. So far, I'm happy with the collection. I noticed that it fixes bugs and compatibility issues with many mods. That's a nice touch. Also, among the Campaigns included in the collection, I saw Legends of the Ancients or "LotA" – this is an unofficial fan-made Campaign for the game Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East. The EWA collection includes chains of Campaigns LOTA "Legends of the Ancients" ("Legends of the Ancients 1, 2, 3"). The mod author translated the Campaign into Russian and fixed bugs and compatibility issues with other mods. I started playing it. The Campaign is challenging, designed for experienced players who enjoy facing not so much random difficulty, but rather an intelligent opponent. The setting of the Campaign is the world of Axia, shortly after the events of Heroes of Might and Magic IV. The Campaign is based on a written scenario consisting of four books and published on the mod's website (English), but only three of them have been implemented so far (the last one was released in February 2019, more than 10 years after the release of the second book). The author of the Campaign is the Frenchman Julien Pirou, who later became an employee of Ubisoft and worked on the 6th and 7th installments of "Heroes." Ubisoft found LotA so good that they hired him to work on Heroes VI and VII. Plot The plot of the first book begins with the campaign of the Krig warrior Malustar, who wants to take revenge on Goldot the Undead and seize power in Necropolis. But events unfold not as he planned, and in the following scenarios, numerous characters from the world of Might and Magic become involved, such as Solmyr and Emilia Nightshade, Ebora (Might and Magic IX), Lord Hark, Darkstorm, Nikolai Ironfist, Alita Eventide, and many others. Mechanics The mod introduces some changes to the general characteristics of the game (such as the assortment and balance of units and items), not counting new main heroes, their special skills, and one rarely used new city, but it stands out for the detailed development of scenarios, quests, opponents, events, and various kinds of puzzles, many of which are unique in terms of their implementation and have no analogues in Heroes of Might and Magic V.
