The Mod Design Team has created three prominent mods for VCMI: Tides of War, MDT Forge, and Courtyard. Oasis is a project conceived and worked on by Nephretes, a key team member. The team has been absorbed into the larger Day of Reckoning team, where some creatures from Tides of War are set to make a return, such as Dryads, Templars, and Succubi, albeit with various reworks in order to be faithful to the game's design.

Tides of War[edit | hide]
The Tides of War is an expansion created by Mod Design Team for VCMI Project (which was the first VCMI-specific expansion), with its main gimmick being alternative creatures with an overall mechanic being similar to Heroes IV.
Tides of War content includes: new heroes, alternative creatures (1 per town), new neutral creatures (Mermaid, Ghost (inspired by H2 version), Dread Skipper and Demilich (inspired by the scrapped "Will-o'-the-wisp" unit)), new decorations, two secondary skills (Hexes and Intimidation), new objects (including creature banks), new spells and new menu theme.
Due to engine limitations at the time, the expansion didn't receive any campaign or maps, despite it being planned. Also, a fair amount of other alternative creatures were scrapped. After the release, mod development halted as the team started other projects, working on alternative units for the MDT Forge and a new town (dubbed "MDT Grove" by the community due to similarities with the original Grove for In the Wake of Gods), before joining the Day of Reckoning project. Currently the mod is considered finished and the updates since the release are mostly compatibility with newer VCMI versions and fanmade changes.
