Heart of Ashan - a Polish mod that was developed quite some time ago, so I think many people know about it, but since there is no thread on our forum dedicated to this work, I decided to create one. Of course, for some, this work may be unknown and may turn out to be interesting. Below is a link to the corresponding thread on heroescommunity - a translation of this mod was planned there, but it seems the project stalled, and the links to the mod are not working, so I uploaded the version I had to Yandex.Disk. If anyone has a more complete (or even a translated) version, please share it here.

Why ISO?

because you mount the disk image and install it using the installer.

I can try to translate.

Have you already installed it and seen what has changed in the game? If so, it would be good to post a couple of new screenshots here.

Sphinxes are quite hideous.
What is that spotted creature in the second screenshot? A Dalmatian from hell?.. A Dalmatian werewolf?
That old man riding a bear looks cool. Wait, that's not a bear... a giant panda? Seriously? Combat giant pandas?..

Heh, I think it's the usual here. 20% of something interesting, and the rest... Well, the rakshasa tigers, for example, look pretty good. Normal eyes make a big difference.

I heard about the ISO. So, I have to ask: Does the mod work without the game disc? Or is the game required?

As far as I understand, the game is required - I don't remember exactly because it's been a while since I messed around with this mod (it's been three years), but I might be wrong. I haven't even played with this mod myself - I just extracted some textures, my interest was purely as a modder looking for additional materials.

What should you do if the mod doesn't work completely – the heroes are added, but the creatures haven't changed, and the campaigns don't work?

This mod doesn't change any of the towns except for the background of the Haven faction, and to play it in campaigns, create a new profile in the game. However, the mod is only valuable as a source of models, as it has many bugs and unfinished elements.

I opened the .iso file with WinRAR and installed it manually.

Added 3 minutes later
I won't try it yet; I'll wait for Andrail's translation.

All the models are from NCF... many of them are from my creatures, so there isn't much value there... I thought they would make them look better... but they just slapped them together!

Well, some of them, like the bone golem, are pretty cool. If you remove the idiotic, unfinished staff-special effect during the idle animation, of course. For the most part, they're just retextures of standard creatures, but there are also remakes of NCF models, that's true. By the way, is it just me, or does a peasant appear instead of the superwyvern in the mission for the natives, and when attacking Avatar Ashi, the game crashes and there's no model on the adventure map?

Are you talking about the campaign? I installed the mod, but the creatures weren't replaced, only the music and heroes.

Yes. There are no creature replacements in the towns. By the way, the elementals have been replaced with some super cool purple unicorns, dragons, and phoenixes. New creatures are only available in the campaigns. Also, you can launch all campaign missions through scenarios in single-player without having to deal with the campaign itself. Otherwise, you install a mod - new profile, you delete it - new profile. It's inconvenient.
