Do you have any models or graphics so that people are more willing to support you?
Also, I hardly belive that some contributors will get a whole new additional castle. It's not an april fools today, is it?

To me it looks like a scam. Not a single graphic draft or proposed technicals to allow adding content into the game.

Preposterous!
Look at those donation perks!
This Indiegogo must be the new formula to get money out of people owning to much of it to know what to spend it on.

Really now. When clicking on the links its just blurry and wierd making of the "TRAILER"..
And the goal of donations to 95000$... Well good luck. Most mods are unsupported.
I was quite thrilled when I looked at the from the start, but when realizing it is mostly a scam its a shame.. :S

Okay, I'm extremely skeptical, but I'm going to wait and see before judging, still. Anyhow, scam or not, a lot of effort was put into their trailer. Horses, customs, a tent, etc. But, yeah, a fund raiser needs credibility which this project lacks at the moment. Also, note that they show their persons in the trailer. Kinda strange for a scam, no?
Anyhow, I wouldn't mind supporting a Heroes 3 project with money. If it was as creditable as, say, HotA/VCMI.

That presentation was the result of half a year of work?
The least you could've shown was some kinda concept art, give people an idea of your vision. You have pretty words and a well made yet kinda irrelevant live-action movie, that ain't gonna net you 95000.

There are several on-going projects in way more advanced state, new towns already in (VCMI), new factions, + with the help of wog -for now at least- almost everything can be moddable, new skills, stories, new creatures and abilities. All this being done by fans for free, so I hardly see why someone would invest his money to get what he can already get for free.
The unofficial expansion adding a new faction, HoTA, is already out and has graphics comparable to original game, in quality range. Anyway, good luck if anything serious in, but for sure you won't get 95k $ just by unwrapping a awkward story. There are tons of such things in forums.

Can you resize the opening image please? I have to side scroll constantly just to read each line and this seems unnecessary.

Not only the goal is 95k$, but only 60 days to get it lol.
Just to put an example. The GameHeart redesigned, a "mod" that significantly improves the ui for observers watching SC2, having already a free version since the beggining of the year, started in 1 of September "just" a 8k$ goal for 30 days...and barely reached the goal on the last day. Even if the project was known, was very praised by the community and the casters and some events (like Dreamhack, who this year has been using GameHeart instead of the UIs provided by Blizzard).
I'm still very suspicious about this

The "flexible funding" means they keep your money even if they don't reach their goal anyway.

I don't want to be a hypocrite and say that it is fake, but it looks incredibly fake.
HotA crew made a lot of new high quality towns and many more from scratch without even asking for a cent plus they showed tons of screenshots...
There seems to be a lot of flaws that make this look fake :
1.only a bunch of writing with no actual graphic, anyone can make that in one week, even in several days
2.even if you are programmers and graphic designer( AND WE HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE YOU ARE) with modern software you can make a HoMM 3 like game from scratch with decent graphics with a less money, and in 2013 you can even make it for free as a hobby if you are an expert programmer and have an experienced team, see flash games
3.you say you got a team of 20, but there are only 3 authors and the forums are empty
4.what kind of human would spent 95k$ bucks on something they will share for free? even tough you don't pay it from your own pocket, but greed is greed and once you have 95k$...
5.only 3 factions for that whole bunch of money?
6.you didn't show any kind of proof that Ubisoft supports your project
7.6 months and no graphic stuff? seriously? and you used 1 month to gather 2 other people and 2 months to make some accounts on social networks?
8.you try to reinvent the wheel, since many of these "additions" were already made by well-known modders, like adding new towns ,a pirate faction and a dark elf faction are already made.
9.and be realistic, even games that are certainly to be true and got a good bunch of graphic and scripting work done will not get 50k from a single person, hell not even 1k$...
If this is real and serious I wish you good luck.
If this is a scam then you should be ashamed of yourself.

Hm what really bothers me is the quality of images in "wallpapers" (all this castles) compared to quality of banners on IGG page... Those banners are pretty ugly to be drawn by such cool artists. I really hope that all that pictures are your IP and weren't just googled and ctr+v-ed
Also I think you have no chance. This community has alot of people who are working hard on their mods for free and already have alot to show and to try. There was once a commercial project: sad-famous REKVIZIT. It was a shame...
What you are doing is basically "selling" things that other people are doing/done for free.
