I was browsing HoMM3 groups on VKontakte and came across this video: http://vkontakte.ru/video-21141659_155360781. To be honest, I was very impressed because I hadn't seen anything like it before. Perhaps more experienced "Heroes" players are already familiar with this... version of the game. By the way, here are a couple more videos: http://www.dvdserver.ru/flash/?id=otYSeUCl_O8.

Damn, I think this is something from "In the Wake of Gods." Anyway, maybe someone knows more about it?
Where did you find this? It's a screenshot from around the year 2000.
Since the "Heroes" universe was linked to the "Might and Magic" series, the developers wanted to introduce a 9th castle, the "Factory," in the first expansion, "Armageddon's Blade," essentially merging the world of magic with a technological world.
There was an uproar on the forums, and the scenario was quickly reworked into the "Conflux" castle. So, the concept of a world distinctly different from the others was preserved, but it took on a more acceptable form.
On one hand, it would have been interesting to see what would have happened, but on the other hand, the old world might have ended even sooner, perhaps by the fourth game.
Well, in general, the picture is clear now))). Fortress might not have fit into the harmonious "antiquity" of 3 (or the entire series as a whole), but if they had created an entire add-on with super-modern castles, robot assassins, cyber technology, and other similar stuff, it would have been pretty cool=)).
