Introducing Hero Creatures (Heroes that look like creatures in map and/or combat), new factions, completely changed creature lineups, abilities, introduced spells, rebalance, and much more!
It is the Heroes IV experience for the XXI century gamer.

FEATURING TOWNS:
All towns are of the max eight creatures and fully functional in all respects.
- Completely full Necropolis town of darkness and undead.
- Completely full Inferno town with fire and Kreegan creatures.
- Desert-based Oasis town with Light magic, boasts Nomads and Mummies
- Sea-based Shipwreck town (With Pirates, Mermaids, Ice Demons, Sorceress and Sea Monsters!)
- Asylum was changed into a faithful Dungeon, with Troglodytes, Beholder and Harpies in their ranks...
- "Preserve" is a more Savage town, with Shamans, Centaurs, Trolls, Gargantuans, and even the powerful Megadragon making it much more scary than just rainbow unicorns.

FEATURING SPELLS:
- New spells have been added taken from abilities and potions
- More variety in the capabilities of each magic
- Summon Angels, Devils, Black Knights, Genies... raise Bone Dragons or spellcasting Mummies!
- Prepare to Freeze your enemies, shower them with Acid, or destroy them with the powerful Kreegan Fire!

FEATURING HEROES:
- ALL classes have three starting skills
- Secondary skills without primary ones
- Reshuffled and remade classes and their skills to fit to new towns
- Dozens of different hero looks, including special campaign and creatures
- Looks match portraits. If your hero has an Orc portrait, it WILL be an Orc hero in battle!
- Amongst others, Vampire, Efreeti, Ogre, Mummy, Golem, Dwarf AND DRAGON heroes are present!

Image

FEATURING CREATURES:
- Up to 15 extra spellcaster creatures!
- Creatures have been given more and more varied abilities
- Zombies raise back if slain, and are gotten with Necromancy
- Crusaders blind their adversaries with heavenly Bling
- Vampires are more fragile, but Hypnotize their opponents!
- Mermaids are able to invoke Water Elementals, have long-ranged tridents, and Displace their enemies!
- Efreeti teleport, but are uncontrollable Berserkers.
- Fire Elementals actually have Fire Breadth, which themselves are immune to.
- Dark Knights have anti-life spellcasting, and drain the enemy's spellpoints.
- Bone Dragons can bring back the dead, and cast random curses on their targets!
- Ninjas have Venom Attack, Smoke bombs, and can even get to Teleport!
- Monks Stun their targets, and bring a battery of blessings to the battlefield.
- Mummies can use Plague, Wasp Swarm, or heal allies with their bandages...
- Countless others, discover it yourself!

FEATURING MAPMAKING:
- Remastered Winds of War campaigns, with complex landscapes, secret passages, rebalanced creatures, and multiplayer last map capability...
- Tens of new maps, from daunting single player adventures to giant all-vs-all town brawls.
- The FIRST duel maps for Heroes 4, in which scripted player-developed heroes and creatures fight tactically on day three. Pure, 100% balanced, combat planning!
- HUNDREDS of new and incredibly complex object brushes.
- Including some that can paint a twenty-layer absolutely lush map in one click.
- ALL object brushes installed by default.
- NimoStar's Greatest Mod includes all of Equilibris objects, INCLUDING those of the internal 355 version.
- The Greatest Mod, However, IS compatible with online play, unlike 355 equilibris.
- Creature dwellings include Mermaids, Sea Monsters, and Megadragons, as they never did before...
- Creature treasures have a great variety of creatures and treasures. No more fighting just one creature type for boring rewards. Now combines up to three different creatures in each treasure, most of them with chances for max level ones!

Interesting, to say the least. Why don't you make some video about it?

Computer too old and internet too slow for such niceties.

But anyone can play and make their own videos, of course, if they so wish.

Also, a Polish site asked me yesterday to make a mirror and have their polish instructions there for install, so the audience may be getting larger soon.

I'm using Win 10 Pro 64-bit, and I've not had any issues so far.

I must say I really like the redistribution of abilities and creatures, including the expansion creatures in some towns. I am currently playing scenario 5 of The Pirate's Daughter, the first map in the list for the redone H4 Campaigns (H4 and the Gathering Storm campaigns have been converted to scenario campaigns, and Winds of War campaigns has been remastered too). It's fun to have Megadragons in Nature, and I think the Berserker trait is a good tradeoff for the power - makes it dangerous when allies are around. Note the description is not totally accurate :), when going one-on-one with Sea Monsters they get gobbled up quickly, so they are not masters of the seas. :)

OMG, and to think that after not playing Heroes for 8 months, I started redownloading U-be-soft's toilet paper production Heroes 7 today to get back into the game - and now I see this! But with the better part of an hour spent waiting for their 14GB game to download (and barely halfway through), I'm kind of like committed to at least finishing my download even though this awesome production Mod16 is begging me to dl and play!

Um... but I do need to have Heroes IV right? (Long since misplaced the discs)...

@cjlee
Why you are reloading back Heroes VII?

Yes, you need to own Heroes IV. Getting them on GoG could be faster. ;)

Some off-topic talk for this topic:

Also, Nimostar could you respond to my PM and emails? There are a few bugs or issues that would be good to address if possible.

Yes, I have left messages here and on HC, and on moddb.com. Hopefully he's just working hard and hasn't checked his internet often, but there are issues that really need to be fixed if he's doing future versions (which I hope he is).

Private messages at HC didn't appear. Let's see here...

Anyways, a new version is going to be released (without such fixes), as it is already done. But perhaps future ones will have them.
