Heroes III: The Succession Wars goes standalone!
Throughout long The Succession Wars add-on mutual history, you could see the project in various shapes. Starting as a WoG-based partial conversion, SW team restructured the game several times, changing platforms and teams, and now they are ready for the final evolution.
Since the v0.9 beta, which is currently in development, the game will no longer be based on the WoG/ERA engine. This was a hard decision, and SW team knew the drawbacks all too well. However, this brings better optimization, less bugs, and a completely new horizon in adding new features. What’s even more important, it propels the project into rocket motion.
Sounds nice? But wait… there’s more!

🗺 New map / savegame format. This would render old maps and savegames useless. However, it is planned that the map editor will include a converter from the WoG format to the new one. This also makes possible converting classic Heroes maps properly as well as making new maps through a more pleasant process. Did we mention campaigns before?
🎨 Tons of new graphics of exceptional quality, as well as improvements over old graphics and visual effects.
