Hello. I recently discovered a good game called "Dungeons & Dragons Dragonshard." It features a faction of lizardfolk, which is quite in line with the Heroes of Might and Magic style. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to take some building ideas from there. If needed, I can rip them myself and provide them to you in *.OBJ format.

Good afternoon. I recently discovered a pretty good game called "Dungeons & Dragons Dragonshard." It features a faction of lizard-like people, which is quite in the style of Heroes. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to take some buildings from there? If needed, I can rip them myself and send them to you in *.OBJ format.
My system crashed not long ago, and I don't have access to my computer right now. Also, I lost the flash drive with the installation files, and the only download link I know of is not working, so I can't convert the models for Heroes:(

Are the complete donor models available, or just the necessary parts that have been cut out?!
All models are complete; none have been cut out.

For a complete storyline, all factions are needed, but scenarios can be created now (unfortunately, I can only create terrain and various cool objects for the map, but I don't know how to use scripts:( ).

Hmm... I can try, in principle... But I need a plot.

You can base the plot on a Necropolis uprising. For example, during the war between the Haven and the Stronghold, an ancient undead relic was destroyed (or activated), after which a powerful Necromancer rose and began to revive the Necropolis empire.

In general, plot outlines already exist.
Everything will revolve around an ancient Shantiarian mage whose soul is trapped in a blade resting on islands in the Ocean of Shadows. :cool:

Actually, I already have some plot outlines. Everything will revolve around an ancient Shantiri mage whose soul is trapped in a blade, resting on islands in the Ocean of Shadows:cool:
Well, here's roughly what I wrote, plus this magical Shantiri blade (so instead of Necropolis, there will be enraged Shantiri rising from the depths of the sea).

No, here the spirit will be an outcast; he was responsible for some kind of cataclysm (you can find a mention of a cataclysm that occurred 2000 years before the era of the Seventh Dragon in Dark Messiah). The spirit is imprisoned in the sword to prevent him from doing even worse things.
In Heroes 5, Leto was a pirate, and his ships were destroyed by orcs in the second mission of the Orcs Campaign, so the plot will start with Leto stopping on an island, in an ancient city of dark dwarf-pirates. There, he will take a job to explore ancient ruins, where he will find this sword, but he will be met by an army of golems and elementals, and Leto will make a deal with the spirit: salvation in exchange for release from the blade.
Then, Leto will be teleported to the Wolf Duchy, where, among the ruins of a demon-worshipping temple, he will meet the resurrected Kaspar, and together they will go to Kartal.
Then there will be a coup - either Leto will seize power over the Chimera mages, or he will help the ruler's youngest son take the throne (but he must be insane, in the best traditions of the Chimera mages). This is how they will gain power.
The spirit in the sword will no longer be able to help them and will be freed. He can look like anything - a lich, a vampire, a ghost bound to armor, an elf, or he can be placed in a living creature (some Chimera general)... He will call himself the Ice King and will go to seek his destiny in the east.
The plot diverges.
1) Leto repels Tarland.
2) The Ice King meets Sareth and Zana in Stonehelm.
The first branch is short, and the second will have many events

after digging through Polish mods, I gathered 3 Hydras and brought Gorgons back to life.
The Gorgons are covered in effects, it's just CRAZY, and that's why on weaker computers, with each animation and effect change, models with untextured textures appear (and there are a lot of them).
Are you going to include Gorgons in your mod? That would be awesome.

Will you be adding Gargons to the mod? That would be great.
I don't know, but while working on the new version, I reworked the Lizardfolk city, and now the files for the city's internal structure and heroes don't conflict with the Orc castle. For RTF, this means the ability to add standard Orc cities to maps simultaneously with Lizardfolk. For regular modding, it means the ability to replace any castle with a stronghold without much trouble, so maybe in the future, there will be a mod that replaces the Dwarf castle with Lizardfolk;). And it will include Gorgons and flying snakes.

The first branch is short, and the second will have many events.
The second branch deviates from the lore, and in Dark Messiah, it's not entirely clear; you can get rid of Zana, you can simply kill the succubus (if you save her from the Necropolis lair and don't banish Zana), or as a lich (if she is killed there).
And we don't know much about Raileg, so after he goes on a quest and his unsuccessful attempt in one of the free cities, you can do anything with him.

There isn't much known about the elementals either; you can take Igness from Heroes 3 (or another fire spirit, but it's easier with her; you can repaint the witch or dryad model in lava color, add some fire, and put it on the map) and build on that. Let's say she was summoned by other spirits or Askh herself to protect Ashan (in Heroes 6, there was a conversation between Namtara and Kirill, where Namtara expressed her fears and concerns for her children and the world in general).

By the way, about the Gorgons, if they don't have enough space, they can be added as neutrals.

I just had an idea, it's too crazy, but I'll share it.
We have creatures from the "old world." If Letos's acquaintances from the "old world" are hunting him, we can leave their models, give them creatures from the old castles, which will be like neutrals (as far as I know, you can add as many neutrals as you want). And Letos himself can be given dark elves mixed with dwarves in the early stages.

Added 3 minutes ago
As I understand it, the campaign for Letos will be the first, but we need more campaigns (at least three, like in the expansions).
If we develop the Igness option, this will be the second; we can also arrange a campaign for the Nagas before the campaign with Letos, who, while waging their own war (or just out of spite), destroy Letos's ship

And we don't know much about Railag, so after he is sent on a quest and his unsuccessful attempt in one of the free cities, you can do anything with him.
As far as I know, nothing has been invented beyond Dark Messiah. The prophecy speaks of a maiden, an heiress of an ancient lineage, which Zana may be. Linna's death is a must, because then the prophecy about the Falcon clan will be fulfilled, and the human empire will fall.

Let's say she was summoned by other spirits or Askh herself to protect Askhan (in Heroes 6, there was a conversation between Namtara and Kirill, where Namtara expressed her fears and concerns for her children and the world in general).
In Askhan, there is a league of silver cities. Before the rise of the Chimera house, the Spirit house (elementalists) ruled there, then the Eternity house (Necromancers), and the Matter house (golem creators). During the Necropolis campaign, we will destroy all the golem foundries and banish the mages to the islands in the Wild Sea, where they will begin to create an army of elementals.
By the way, about the Gorgons, if they don't have enough space, they can be added as neutrals.

And Letos himself can be given dark elves mixed with dwarves in the early stages.
Everything is exactly like that - to create a new world, you have to destroy the old one, which will be played by the neutrals, and the return of functionality to the old Orcish castle models is connected with this.

There will be many campaigns, because we also need to defeat the Unicorn Empire, create a new Necropolis, and take the old races out of the war

As far as I know, nothing more has been conceived after Dark Messiah. The prophecy speaks of a maiden – an heiress of an ancient lineage, who could be Zana. Linna's death is necessary because then the prophecy about the Falcon lineage will be fulfilled, and the human empire will fall.
Linna's death is necessary?! – Where did that come from? If the new campaigns try to stay within the lore, then their plot should not exclude all possible endings of Dark Messiah!!!
- Can the player ensure that Linna survives? Answer: Yes, they can!!!
- Can the player ensure that Linna dies? Answer: Yes, they can!!!
Therefore, the human race may fall, or it may not, but it is not specified when exactly (tomorrow or in a hundred years), meaning that humans must exist, but it is quite possible that not in the form of a unicorn empire, but as part of something else. Furthermore, the fall of the human race does not imply extinction as a species, but implies a fall as an independent empire.
... И древний лес, роскошен и печален,
Блистает там воздушностью прогалин.
Но между кедров, полных тишиной,
Расщелина по склону ниспадала.
О, никогда под бледною луной
Так пышен не был тот уют лесной...

I found this information a long time ago in the comments on the website for the 7th installment of Heroes:
Sareth did free the demons, but they didn't conquer the world; instead, they became, let's say, "aggressive neighbors" to the other factions. With the arrival of the demons in Ashan, the cycles of eclipses ended, and the cycles of the Void began. In short, the demons became Ashan's second-biggest enemy, and the Order of the Void, led by Sandro, rose to the dominant position. I have no idea what the future holds for them. This information comes from Erwan's presentation on Ashan.
