Legends of the Ancients : Book 1 available !

Unread postby Marzhin » 20 Jul 2007, 09:21

Book 1 of Legends of the Ancients is now available ! At last...

Legends of the Ancients is a user-made campaign for Heroes of Might and Magic V : Hammers of Fate, taking place in the original Might and Magic universe. There will be 4 parts, or Books, each consisting of 4 to 8 scenarios. Book 1, entitled "Fires from the North", contains 6 chapters.

The campaign is available in both english and french, thanks to the efforts of the guys at heroes-fr.com.

I hope you'll enjoy this first adventure. For my part, I'm going back to work on Book 2 :P

I was expecting the title to pop up soon :) I see there is also no need to uninstall if I am to revert to the original game which is simply grand :D

Thanks, I'll be back to post my impressions!

You'll still have to remove the .h5m files from your Maps directory though.

Played a bit the beginning and the inferno music just moved me! Had not heard it in a long while, very fitting as Malustar's theme :)

This is amazing! Took me a moment to recognise the H3 Inferno music. It's a nice touch to a great campaign.

@ Hotak : if you created a new profile to play LotA (as I recommended in the readme), then you'll have to modify the .ini file of your new profile to add the line allowing you to call the console in-game, the same way you did for your original profile.



But don't forget : "Cheating is the best way to skip much of the fun of the gameplay !" :D

This project is really the only reason I've played HV at all in the last...oh, year or so. Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoyed it. :-D Good work Marzhin!
