Heroes of Might and Magic V: Legends of the Ancients or “LotA” is an unofficial fan-made campaign for the game Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East.
The setting of the campaign is the world of Axea, shortly after the events of Heroes of Might and Magic IV. The campaign is based on a written script consisting of four books published on the mod's website; however, only three 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 campaign is complex, designed for experienced players who enjoy challenging themselves not so much with arbitrary difficulty but with intelligent strategy. The author of the campaign is Frenchman Julien Pirou, who later became an employee of Ubisoft and worked on the 6th and 7th installments of “Heroes.” Ubisoft found LotA to be so good that they hired him to work on Heroes VI and VII.
Plot
The plot of the first book begins with the march of the Krig warrior Malustar, who wants to take revenge on Goldot the Undead and seize power in Necropolis. But things don’t go as he planned, and numerous characters from the world of Might and Magic become involved in subsequent scenarios, such as Solmyr and Emelia Nightshade, Ebora (Might and Magic IX), Lord Hark, Darkstorm, Nikolai Ironfist, Alita Eventide, and many others.
Mechanics
The modification introduces some changes to the general characteristics of the game (such as the assortment and balance of units and items), apart from new main heroes, their special skills, and one rarely used new city, but it stands out due to the detailed development of scenarios, quests, opponents, events, 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.

Unfortunately, this campaign is not available on this site, but fortunately, it is included in the Adapted Collection of Mods Epic War Age (EWA), presented on the forum:
/topic/9495/
The EWA collection includes chains of campaigns LOTA "Legends of the Ancients" ("Legends of the Ancestors 1,2,3"). The author of the modification translated the campaign into Russian and eliminated bugs and compatibility issues with other mods
