How to install Heroes 3 Horn of the Abyss step-by-step
INSTALLATION: Install Horn of the Abyss. Download the archive with the Pumpkin Patch, extract it and copy all the files to the Horn of the Abyss installation. Overwrite the files. If you play HotA often, I recommend making a separate installation for Pumpkin Patch. Run HexSwapper.

On top of that, a number of balance changes have been added, such as increasing the health bonus from the First Aid skill or improving the movement of heroes with slow creatures in their army.
