'''Horn of the Abyss''' (or '''HotA''') is a comprehensive | '''Horn of the Abyss''' (or '''HotA''') is a comprehensive fan-made mod for ''Heroes of Might and Magic III'', designed to continue classical ''Heroes III'' add-on series of [[Restoration of Erathia|RoE]]/[[Armageddon's Blade|AB]]/[[Shadow of Death|SoD]]. | ||
The project | The aim of the project is to create an add-on for Heroes III with lots of new features, but stay true to the formula and vision of the original game. The main focus is the quality of every single aspect of the modded game. This includes the careful fixes of the original game balance, removal of the graphical imperfections left by the developers, and a considerable amount of new content, like new campaigns, new map objects and new playable factions. The project is lore-oriented and attempts to keep connected with the original ''Might and Magic'' universe. | ||
Unlike [[In the Wake of Gods]]-based mods, Horn of the Abyss' new towns are added to the game without replacing any existing towns. The mod requires ''[[Shadow of Death]]'' or ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete]]'' to run. | Unlike [[In the Wake of Gods]]-based mods, Horn of the Abyss' new towns are added to the game without replacing any existing towns.
