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

I played a little, and when creating the Admiral's Hat, it glitched out.
Otherwise, I didn't notice any other bugs.

crashes during artifact assembly have been fixed; everything will be fine in version 1.1.

where can I download the complete collection? (there isn't a separate download for *Sod*, only the complete version).
When will the new version be released? And it's great that someone is still playing Heroes 3!

Yeah, this is the Heroes forum.

you can download a clean SoD version somewhere in this area, which you can then install HotA on. but by downloading these files, anyone is essentially violating copyright, after all. the game may be old, but Ubisoft hasn't released it as freeware yet.

We are pleased to announce that our team has released the first update for Heroes of Might and Magic Online. All the details can be found here: http://forum.df2.ru/index.php?showtopic=27837&pid=542154&st=0&#entry542154

I don't know if it makes sense to write about it here, but nevertheless: as usual, the new version of HotA 1.2 was released on the 31st at 23:59. You can download it as always on the official forum.

A random map generator is available, there are many objects on the map, the balance has been improved, and so on.

Of course, there are sources where you can find out. ) Am I right in understanding that they added a new campaign, among other things?

No, there's no campaign this time. There's a random map generator, even improved compared to the usual one. They did a good job with the balancing. In general, we're slowly exploring multiplayer horizons.)

P.S. Most likely, we'll create a topic about the project later in the section dedicated to the classic trilogy. It seems a bit out of place here, as the addition isn't related to Heroes and can't even be installed on it - and the topic is hanging in the subforum for some reason.

Exactly, we need to move away from WoG. It might be good, but it's not for everyone – too many unnecessary features. In this regard, I would like to make a suggestion – it’s not a good idea to implement a double upgrade for units, as it doesn’t quite fit with the style of Heroes of Might and Magic III. Otherwise, I wish you success in all your endeavors, including your gaming projects.

Downloaded, installed, and tried playing – I liked it, it’s well made. I have one question: in a random map against the AI at 200% difficulty, does the AI also start with zero resources? In general, the AI players didn't build almost anything in two weeks, and they didn't even defend themselves with a stronghold, let alone a castle :confused:

is the gameplay different from the standard Heroes of Might and Magic III?

I'm replying a bit late, of course. I thought no one visited this section anymore.

It's basically SoD + a new faction, new objects, bug fixes from the original, and so on. There are many useful changes in the random map generator, mainly aimed at the multiplayer audience.

version 1.3 has been released, but for some reason, it crashes frequently without displaying any errors. I installed it on the Complete Collection with the HD mod. It also crashed on a clean installation of The Shadow of Death, but this time with an error. It happened when the enemy captured my Castle, and I had lost all my troops, only having elementals summoned by magic.

Another HotA update. The current version is 1.3.3.
