Graphics mod for Heroes III to turn into Heroes II Graphics?

Unread postby tellville » 22 Sep 2008, 21:49

Is there a graphics mod for Heroes III that turns the graphics into Heroes II graphics?

I'm asking because I really dislike the Heroes III graphics but I find the Heroes II graphics awesome. Even more so then Heroes V! I don't know why - I guess beauty is the eye of the beholder!

There's a cheat code that enables a much brighter color scheme. It varies by which version you have. See this page on the CH site.

Who would want to do that? :| Heroes II had awesome graphics, but Heroes III still has the best looking, imo better than Heroes 5 to me.

I'm not so sure. A lot of people seem to think the HIII graphics look pretty washed-out. Look at comments in the creature evolution threads.

Besides, they're very much different styles -- HII aims for a charming/cartoonish look, while HIII strives to be more realistic. There are different preferences in style.

Because you actually have taste instead of "ZOMG, it's 3D and/or has more pixels!?"
