Darker Interface Colors

I never liked the way Heroes 3 interface looks due to player colors not fitting in the interface. Extract this little archive into your Data directory and the interface will look much better.

New Battle Grids

Choose the one you like and put it into the Data directory. I recommend the third one.

Synchronized Creatures Sounds

Some creatures produce sound in the wrong moment. Like, when Air Elementals are hit, first comes animation and then they produce the sound. This fixes them. Extract into the game folder.

Lod Favorites

Favorites for h3sprites.lod and h3bitmaps.lod with categorized list of files, currently only available in Russian. Made by Black Phantom, with my edits.

LodCompare v1.3.1

Obsolete, fully incorporated into MMArchive. Lets you compare two lod/vid/snd archives and see which files have changed. Lets you create a new archive containing only those files. Thus you can minimize size of a mod by distributing only this archive as a custom LOD to be loaded by my patch or by merging it with user's archive using LodMerge.Source code (Delphi 2006)

Heroes of Might & Magic III is widely regarded as the best title of the series, and it has received a lot of quality community support. In addition to normal maps and modifications there are many larger mod projects which extend the core HoMM3 gameplay, add new features, creatures and even factions.
