Best Heroes ]I[ mods for the upcoming Christmas holidays (hot-seat)

The holidays are approaching, there will be a lot of free time, so why not use it for any of amazing Heroes mods. I chose the best Heroes III mods (easy to install) and I also added bonus modifications for Heroes II and Heroes V.

How to install (youtube)

ERA 3 Launcher will help you quickly install and run these 3 modifications: In the Wake of Gods (WoG/ERA), Horn of the Abyss (HotA) and Master of Puppets (MoP). This launcher replaces ERA Gaming build.

ERA 3 Launcher is the easiest way to play In the Wake of Gods (ERA 3). It’s stable, has a lot of new improvements, and already has plenty of modifications, so you don’t need anything else.

Advanced Classes Mod, a gameplay enhancing mod, that features revamped skill and spell systems, new artifacts and artifacts set, 2 dozens of new and reworked specialities, 6 new subclasses with uniquw abilities and more. The idea of this mod was to create 2 new skill ranks — Master and Grandmaster, which are gained right after Expert rank, as well as a completely new hero class — adventurer.

Horn of the Abyss

Horn of the Abyss
HotA mod is not compatible with any other modification except HD mod

Horn of the Abyss is an unofficial – yet a true – Heroes of Might and Magic 3 expansion. It is made by a mostly Russian composed crew with various talented people. The expansion features – to name a few things – a completely new town ‘Cove’ (Pirates). HotA fixes bugs, adds a host of new expansion content, features an updated editor – and much more.

Platform and installing

The whole modification is created by reverse-engineering Shadow of Death files. So, Horn of the Abyss is to be installed on top of clean Heroes III: SoD or Complete edition. We do not guarantee stable work on any “optimized builds” or with mods that can change original game files (except for HD mod, which is 100% compatible). Install to a folder with either clean SoD or Complete or older version of HotA.

works great with fheroes2 engine

The New Year Mod for Heroes of Might and Magic II is a Christmas-themed graphical conversion of HoMM2 assets intended to keep the original graphic style. The idea of this mod was born suddenly, when a few fellow forum members on Russian HandBookHMM.ru community in December 2014 thought about a new form of an offline tournament which would be able to revive the HoMM2 gaming community to some degree.
