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.
Here you can find information on some of the most popular unofficial mods and add-ons. For players looking for a simple introduction into the HoMM3 modding scene, we recommend trying out the HD mod and Horn of the Abyss, as they are fully compatible with eachother and offer a lot of modifications to the core gameplay.
The difference between this mod and others on my list is the number of spells it brings you. Instead of going for breadth, this mod goes for depth. You take a small collection of new spells and level them up to unlock their full potential. 39 new spells doesn’t sound like much, but when you can improve them as much as this mod allows you to.
