Phoenix Mod

Heroes 3: Phoenix mod focuses on improving an already brilliant game, primarily by significantly increasing the difficulty and introducing new mechanics. These include recruiting a starting army, the ability to learn all secondary skills using points earned from battles, and upgrading primary attributes as well (attack, defense, etc.). This allows players to specialize their hero — for example, if you want to focus purely on magic, you can invest only in Spell Power and Knowledge.

Right from the start, players will be surprised by a fortress built in front of their town and the guards protecting it. If you see a group of goblins standing near a mine, think twice before attacking — in battle, they might be reinforced by Titans or Black Dragons. The overall difficulty has increased dramatically, with battles being more balanced and much tougher.

Another major feature is unit upkeep, meaning your troops must be paid daily. Heroes can also choose a unit to specialize in, and this unit does not have to belong to their native town.

 English description

Can the old game be revived? The Phoenix developers think that it’s possible. For that we need strong AI opponents, new creatures abilities, new artifacts, free skills upgrading, specialties selection, adventures with luck, mixed neutrals to replace boring ones, skills balance and differentiating without quantity limit, ehh. What else to suggest? Chaos Towns with mixed stacks, AI capitals with Defenders, heroes classes, interface features, colorful texts, hot keys, artifacts from battles, treasurers at city halls, dark magic, stable necromancy, reserve stacks, useful war machines, towns balance and many other things…

      Nie, všetky secondary skills sa môžeš naučiť len v modifikácii Phoenix mod.

    Thank you. I’ll try it and add it to the download page. Windows 8 does not want to open the archive. Some protection… I’ll try later on Windows 7.

    I found older version that works directly on HOMM III and no errors so far (unless one time, when I tried to load an autosave .. )

    BTW, did anyone else realize that Phoenix mod is the only one that fixes Colloseum bug? (getting +2 ATT for free).

    This will be a problem. Phoenix mod is not compatible with HD mod.
    Phoenix mod 3.61 is only in english version. Phoenix mod 3.63 is only in Russian language. Higher version does not exist.

    Hi Khadras.
    I’ve never had this problem. Which version do you have installed? WoG version or ERA II version?

    Try this:

    Make a clean install of Heroes 3 Complete. Install ERA II a then install Phoenix Mod for ERA II.

    Phoenix je zaujímavý mod, ale priznám sa, už bol veľmi prekombinovaný a dosť pomenil charakter hry, preto som sa vrátil ku klasike a najnovšie k Horn of the Abyss.

    Ak chceš, aby si mal menu v anglickom jazyku a nie ruskom, nainštaluj si túto modifikáciu: https://heroes3wog.net/phoenix-mod-english-skin/

    tento mod ma zatial bavi najviac, ale z nejakého dôvodu mi blbne s ERA II (vlastne rovnako mi blbne aj samotná ERA). Tak som si našiel na ich stránke (čo bol problém, lebo celý Phoenix projekt sa zdá byť) abandoned WoG inštalačku: Phoenix Mod 3.61.exe … je stará, lebo aj po aplikácii Englifikácie je hlavné menu v ruštine. Ešte som to úplne neotestoval, ale zdá sa že to už ide.

    na začiatku hry si je možné vybrať starting army, hrdina si môže vybrať specialization, v boji je možné kúzliť 2x (niečo ako magical luck), vojská stoja maintenance, mana sa dá kupiť za zlato… akože toto je aká pecka!!!!

    Som na tom podobne, ja som svoje prvé lepšie PC mal v roku 2000 a ako prvá hra bola Heroes 3. Rovnako hrávam s prestávkami, aj ročnými a stále sa k hre vraciam, určite skús multiplayer cez internet, je to ešte väčšia zábava.
    Na WoG som narazil len úplnou náhodou, no už vtedy ma zaujal a až o dobrých 6 rokov neskôr som vytvoril tento web 🙂

    A ďakujem za pochvalu, uznanie poteší 🙂 a kľudne môžeš posielať nejaké zaujímavé obrázky z hry, ak sa ti nejaké podarí spraviť.

    Zdar, dobre že si napísal, až teraz som si všimol že Phoenix mod má aj ERA II verziu. Verzia na tejto spránke je pre WoG 3.58f, ERA II verzi môžeš tiahnuť tu: https://heroes3wog.net/na-stiahnutie/#era2 (na konci ERA II sekcie)
