I suppose some thought necromancy was OP? I am not sure. Necromancy seems rather weak now without artifacts or numerous necropolis towns to give boosts to your skill. What I didn't really like was the massive nerf to necromancy. The ghost dragons are almost as weak (possibly weaker even) and they have an ordinary growth rate. The phoenixes may have been weak for a level 7 creature, but I don't think double growth made sense. I liked how they lowered the phoenix growth rate a bit. I like some of what they did here but I am not sure all of it was for the best. (note: I have never really played this game with other humans, so take what I say here with a grain of salt.) Everything looks nice and it all blends well with the original content. All of these changes and the additions made by the new content shows both the incredible attention to detail and how hard they worked on this mod. At long last, the animation of Implosion actually looks like an implosion and not like you are casting Diarrhea on your enemies. My favorite change was to the Implosion spell. The shots of several ranged attacking creatures now have an added animation that plays over the spites of their targets when the shot hits. They now look different depending on what stage of fortifications they have (i.e. The appearance of the towns on the adventure map was redone. The only thing I don't like about these backdrops is that I can't see the whole thing because the menu is always in the way covering at least half of it. The only town to not get a backdrop themed after it was the cove oddly enough. There are now new backdrops for the scenario choosing screen, each themed after one of the towns. I will only cover several of the changes here. They obviously put a lot of effort into this area and it shows.
There were a lot of changes made to the aesthetics of the game. There may be some spoilers to follow, depending on what you consider a spoiler. I am not sure I am good at writing reviews, but here we go anyway. Thank you for promoting it and making sure all of us HoMM fans know about it. At least I'm aware of the new fan-made expansion now, and I will probably try it eventually, but I'm just not sure when. Wow, that's a lot of HoMM 3! And I'm also wanting to replay HoMM V. That, and that all the maps were extremely hard.Īnd then, now there's this new fan-made pirate cove campaign available. All I remember from that is that each Chronicle campaign focused on one hero type, and added all manner of new colors of dragons, like fairy dragons and azure dragons. Then I've still got all the Chronicles stories I could replay. Elven sharpshooters? Sudden appearance of conflux towns and elementalists? Trying to get the Blade before it can destroy the world? (And having HoMM IV make the entire mission a failure and destroying Enroth in one fell intro movie?) That's about all I remember. Then, I'm wanting to replay Armageddon's Blade for the continued story of Queen Catherine and Roland Ironfist in it, which will also be a new story to me, since I played it so many years ago that I don't remember a thing about it detail-wise. I figure I've got at least a week of play left before I finally finish up, maybe a bit longer. I don't know how long I'll play this time around before I start to overdose, like now I'm in the next to the last campiagn in Restoration of Erathia, on "Song for the Father". I haven't played HoMM 3 in many years, so all the campaigns are totally fresh to me - I don't remember any of the maps, so it's like a new game.
