Posts from The Shadow of Death

I would like to present to you a series of campaigns for Heroes of Might and Magic 4: Winds Of War that I created.
These campaigns are a reincarnation of the "The Shadow of Death" campaigns from the third game.
This series contains seven campaigns (the sixth one in two versions).

Information about the campaigns.

Campaign version: 1.1
How to launch: copy the file to the "maps" folder, launch the game, go to "New Game" - "Scenarios" - "Unholy Alliance".
ADDITIONALLY: In this campaign, your heroes will not be taken from previous scenarios - you will see your heroes with the skills that I have assigned (as it was in the third game). If you want to play with your own upgraded heroes, you must complete the five previous scenarios (for each of the heroes) and start the "Unholy Alliance" campaign with the heroes carrying over.
Changes:
- In the last scenario, the "Tavern" building is disabled in the Sandro hero's castle.

Version with heroes carrying over.

Campaign version: 1.2
How to launch: copy the file to the "maps" folder, launch the game, go to "New Game" - "Scenarios" - "Unholy Alliance".
ADDITIONALLY: This campaign is created with heroes carrying over from previous scenarios. Therefore, for a complete game, heroes from previous scenarios are required. If you have not completed the previous scenarios, do not want to complete them, and just want to play this campaign - play the original version of the "Unholy Alliance" campaign.
Changes:
- In the last scenario, the Sandro hero is given the following artifacts: Armor of Death, Soul Eater, Face of Horror, Shield of Death, Cloak of Protection;
- In the last scenario, the "Tavern" building is disabled in the Sandro hero's castle.

NOTE: The campaigns were tested on the "The Equilibris" mod (Heroes 4 Balance Mod). Therefore, it is desirable to install it. You can view the descriptions of this mod and download it here.

If you want to play with heroes you have personally leveled up, you must complete the five previous scenarios (for each of the heroes) and start the "Unclean Alliance" campaign with heroes that carry over.
Changes:
- In the last scenario, the "Tavern" building is disabled in the hero Sandro's castle.

Please check what you are uploading. It doesn't launch for me and asks me to complete the previous campaigns.

M... a mistake happened due to oversight. We'll fix it like this: 1. Open the Final(original)1.1 campaign in the Editor. 2. Menu: Campaign => Campaign Properties => Transfer between campaigns [second tab]. 3. Uncheck the two boxes. 4. Save. MUJIOPD, thanks for noticing. :beer:

Well, a lot of work has been done, and it deserves respect. Kudos to the author!

Thank you :)

Question regarding this topic:

/topic/6706/

It's a pretty good campaign; why was the topic closed?

Judging by the fact that the last comment was removed for necroposting 2.5 years (2012) after the campaign was released (2010), I believe that's why the thread was closed. I haven't played it myself, so I can't say anything about its quality.
