Heroes of Might and Magic III Revisited

Unread postby Angelspit » 13 Aug 2006, 15:13

No matter how much you like the various Heroes games, Heroes of Might and Magic III is probably the title that set up the strong foundations of the current Might and Magic community. It was released in the middle of the Internet boom, when the homepages of the 90s were becoming Web sites. I can't remember exactly what kind of content was on <i>Celestial Heavens Unleashed</i> back then, but I don't think there was a complete creature section, an omission that persisted until today. Fortunately, <b>CloudRiderX</b> came to our rescue and created a series of stats pages using a templated designed by igoraki.



<div align=center><a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/599">Castle</a> | <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/600">Conflux</a> | <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/601">Dungeon</a> | <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/602">Fortress</a> | <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/603">Inferno</a>

<a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/604">Necropolis</a> | <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/605">Neutrals</a> | <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/606">Rampart</a> | <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/607">Stronghold</a> | <a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/608">Tower</a></div>



Pictures, stats and abilities for the base creatures, the upgrades, the neutrals and the expansion creatures are included (I admit that for a moment I couldn't tell the Crystal Dragon from the Rust Dragon). Speaking of old-school games, igoraki has plans to revisit King's Bounty and create new pages for that game. Until then, enjoy the little time travel.

Very useful information in there, I still love playing H3 and think it's the best in the series altogether..

It has a contention for the best game ever made for me :) Half life 1 + 2, warcraft III also. Completely different genres, but whatever.

H3 was a gem in the series, so many expansions and a spin-off series (Chronicles) and stand-alone maps. And all you needed to make so much content was a map-editor, wink wink Nival..?!

CloudRiderX, I went through them all -- very nice. However, I found a few errors and omissions and have noted them in comments on each page.

You're welcome, Angelspit. BTW, I didn't verify any stats, I just checked over the special abilities.

This, I believe, is the earliest piece of work that is left today... and it sure is hot :)

Possibly coming soon, Heroes 3 Adventure Objects, and maybe artifacts too. That's a bit far off, but I would like to get around to those eventually.

For the artifacts, I can send you a full list of their artifact classes and gold values if it will be useful to you.
