You must have Horn of the Abyss v1.7.1 installed to play Pumpkin Patch. | |
Heroes 3 Complete GOG version (necessary for installing modifications) |
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.
NOTE: Due to HotA announcing a new patch for the New Year’s, which will most likely include a skill rebalance, expect a vastly different version of the mod within the first weeks of 1.7.2 (or 1.8, however they decide to call it) being available. I expect the incoming patch to feature secondary skill balance, so obviously this mod will be altered based on that.
Main features include:
- QoL features
- Secondary skill rebalance
- Hero specialty rebalance
- New hero specialties – f.e. Melodia is now a Luck specialist.
- 4 new heroes – Kastore (Warlock, Tactics specialty), Athe (Heretic, Diplomacy specialty), Sleen (Wizard, Precision specialty) and Gwenneth (Cleric, Scholar specialty)
- New combination artifact – Armageddon’s Blade (comprised of Shield of the Damned, Sword of Hellfire, Breastplate of Brimstone and the Hellstorm Helmet)
- New hero portraits for Archibald and King Nicolas Gryphonheart
- School of Magic rebalance
Pumpkin Patch v1.3 changelog:
- Fixed all missing and low-quality specialty images.
- Reduced starting gold bonus to 1000-1500
- Reverted some starting army changes based on user feedback.
- Tweaked all spell specialists to be roughly just as useful. All specialties were divided into a few types and a separate bonus applies to each type.
- Added Bios to Athe, Kastore and Sleen.
- Added a new specialty – Scholar.
- New hero – Sleen. He is a Wizard – Precision specialist, starting with Wisdom and Archery. Yes, it’s the Judge Sleen. For now he has a portrait of a similar-looking character from a different Might and Magic game.
- New hero – Gwenneth. She is a Cleric – Scholar specialist, starting with Wisdom and Scholar. She has a portrait that comes from the unused game files (thanks, Aphra!).
- Changed Athe’s specialty to Diplomacy specialty, because Curse specialty did not calculate the damage correctly.
- Cape of Velocity is now a Relic.
- Updated two maps from AB campaigns to accomodate hero changes made.
- Reverted the Castle Gate direction change, as it created an irreconcilable issue with multiplayer play.
- Decreased the cost of Castle Gate.
- Removed the “Are you sure you wish to end your turn?” message if all heroes have less than 50 mp.
- Increased Upg. Gantry cost to 20 ore.
- Added art event to Ring of the Magi.
Oopsy Daisy! What do we have here.
