WIP 01.09.2010
First of all, thanks for reading my post guys, I want to start a new mod with some help if possible.
I want to take the best part of every Heroes game, maybe mix it a little with Disciples, and make a "like it should be" version.
The goal is to refresh Heroes III gameplay, graphics and sounds while remaining as close as the original, but I can't do it by myself, so if you think you can help with anything, you're free to join 
We could use some existing mods, with authors permission and credits of course, and keep an continous updated all in one easy to install .wog file
Anyway, there will be individual downloads for every mod, in case someone doesn't like all the new changes.
*IMAGES:
new "Heroes III" logo:
new menu background & loadscreen (beta):
 
new H4 hero, with new H5 cursors:
new H4 Bone Dragon:
new H5 style battle grids:
If you don't like what you see, you can walk away, but don't be rude
*WORK DONE:
-Two H4 Life heroes converted (Knight & Cleric)
-H5 style battle grids
-H5 cursors
-"Heroes III" logo
-background menu & loadscreen
-music from Heroes IV, Disciples II & III
- ~30 units replaced (some from Heroes IV, some modded, better than originals anyway)
-commanders will be replaced with the heroes in battle from H4
*TO DO LIST:
-replace some other units, and objects, with better graphic ones
-replace some sounds
-unit names & stats
-terrain textures (adventure map) (like here) http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=32422
-battlegrounds (like here) http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=22924
-towns screen (like here) http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=33475
-interface screen (like here) http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=33030
-skills & spells icons
-portraits
-reduce unit & buildings cost, and kingdom income, for well balanced gameplay
*Towns creature repartition, I thought at something like this:
1. "The Empire" (Castle)
1 Squire/Swordsman
2 Archer/Crossbowman
3 Pikeman
4 Crusader/Templar
5 Monk/Priest
6 Knight/Paladin
7 Seraphim/Seraphim
2. "Academy" (Tower)
1 Halfing
2 Dwarf
3 Golem
4 Mage/Wizard
5 Genie
6 Naga
7 Titan
3. "Swamp" (Fortress)

2 Lizardman
3 Serpent Fly
4 Basilisk
5 Gorgon
6 Hydra
7 Wyvern
4. "The Elven Alliance" (Rampart)
1 Centaur
2 Elven Archer
3 Elven Warrior
4 Druid
5 Trent
6 Unicorn
7 Faerie Dragon
5. "The Legion of the Damned" (Inferno)
1 Imp
2 Evil Eyes
3 Cerberus
4 Medusa
5 Efreet
6 Nightmare
7 Devil
6. "Dungeon" (Dungeon)
1 Troglodyte
2 Gargoyle
3 Harpy
4 Minotaur
5 Manticore
6 Griffin
7 Black Dragon
7. "The Mountain Clans" (Stronghold)
1 Berserkers
2 Orcs
3 Trolls
4 Ogres
5 Cyclops
6 Thunderbirds
7 Behemoths
8. "The Undead Horde" (Necropolis)
1 Skeleton
2 Zombie
3 Ghost
4 Vampire
5 Lich
6 Black Knight
7 Bone Dragon
9. The ninth castle: replace Conflux with a custom town, I was thinkin at Bastion, if will someday be finished.

@ Warmonger
thanks for ruining my dreams from the start lol
Because Heroes IV was buggy, and Heroes III engine/system seems to be the best, but not perfect also.

it's WIP, what's so funny

Sorry Toby. It's just that you aim for too big for a first start. Replace all creatures? It will take you a whole life. Start with small modifs, then add.

@ Salamandre
I understand. You know how to talk, compared to Warmonger They're not even 60 units, and some of them are already converted by some modders. I never said I can do it by myself anyway, because that would take a "lifetime" like you said

the concept reminds me of the long dead Burden Of Faith mod, where we aimed to make a similiar mod.

@ don_komandorr
Why are you so skeptical about it? About 30% it's already done, almost everything is possible, so why not?
@ Kipshasz
I've never heard of it, and I can't seem to find anything about it. You made me curious

@ T2_2112
No, it's 30%, because half of units are already changed, and some of the upgraded units will look the same for now, in lack of help I know I'm new to community, but I didn't find any topic for that mod, or maybe I didn't searched so good If you got something, I'd like to see that

Today people have way more experience and know what can be done and not. And WHO is working on, I bet Warmonger reaction would be different if the thread was initiated by BigJocker, or Alex-ander.
I am supporting Toby but let's face it: he never did any def, any map or mod, it is a very long way to go until he gets the tools and skills to replace ALL that he said. It is not about "guts", but about wasting time to discuss ideas, knowing 100% that it can't be done. Being realistic is admitting there are real time constraints too.

If you have nothing constructive to add.....
Just stop to slap newcomers in their face with all your so helpfull posts! They don't harm you in any way, so just let them be and watch the progress, if any. If not, where is the problem?

@ Dj
Thanks for the link I tottaly agree with you, they're quite some bullies around here lol. Maybe someone will help me revive that project, if you said it's kinda simmilar
@ LizardWarrior
Thanks for objection, I'll correct that and thanks for units too
@ Salamandre
Thanks for support, I know it's very hard to do, I downloaded a lot of tools, now let's see what I can do Now I'm more collecting great mods, to a all in one pack, till i learn to convert units, JonJ is helping me  I'm not a mapper by the way. What you said about Warmonger, it's a kind of discrimination lol. About wasting time, that's my risk
P.S. Voi sunteti romani cumva ?

I'm glad that you haven't found yet an idea of insulting non-Romanian users in Romanian language... Haven't you?
