Posts from Heroes of Might & Magic III: Horn of the Abyss

I haven't posted anything in a while, but I'm also looking forward to it :smile50:

People, what is the approximate release date for the mod?

They promised it would be released this spring :) before the end of May... but it's still uncertain :-[ so we might have to wait until next May x) Although... maybe the Professor will still surprise us with an add-on ;)

basically, not much time is left. :) in any case, before the release, we will still please the fans with a couple of screenshots, and maybe even something else.

We believe in you :). I can't wait (by the way, is that something else, and is it likely a demo? I guessed correctly :))?

Wow! I haven't felt this excited since Wog came out. How big will the add-on be? I need to know how much bandwidth to save up.

I’m sure the add-on will be good. What about the Fortress Castle? It’s quite original. Maybe it could be added and included in a patch?

The Forge Castle, as depicted in these screenshots, wouldn't fit well among the other "heroic" factions. However, there are ongoing discussions and development (without official involvement from the HotA team, but with the participation of some members and, let's say, under general supervision) – currently at the concept, idea, and initial graphic development stage – for a city called Factory. This is a much more reasonable faction, closer in atmosphere and style to the original castles of Heroes III, but still retaining the core idea of a cyber/techno-city.
If the Factory is graphically ready within the next year or so, there is a possibility of integrating it into later versions of HotA.

I have a couple of sketches. And I have an idea about units. We could create a couple of "ancient" robots that move using gears. Here are a few examples.

They said it would be released in the spring, but spring is almost over. Maybe we won't see it by the end of spring? Usually, if I want something to happen quickly, the opposite happens. I think the same will be true for the game. But waiting also has its advantages, as it allows us to anticipate and enjoy the game even more!

We will try to manage, depending on how things go – it’s difficult to predict.

I understand, of course. My respect to those who are working on this. I just asked because I have to go to the army on June 10th, and I don't want to leave before I get to play this so-called project. Maybe this question has already been asked, but still, will it be possible to install this add-on on the Heroes 3 WoG 3.58f version? Or will the original version be required?

2 mm261 - Yeah, it would be a shame not to play in the last few days...
2 Professor - We have to make the most of it:

I'm pretty relaxed about it, I'm waiting, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much).

That’s exactly what I mean, that’s why I’m waiting with hope. I really like this game, but right now I only have the fifth installment. My computer struggles to run it, but the third one is the best.

Associate Professor, is there anything new? Any new screenshots or anything else?
