Heroes of Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer
Wasn't sure where to put this, but I always liked the library. Nice and quiet. 
So basically this is an idea I had when I saw FOG's thread title Might and Magic 7, and I thought, it'd be cool if there was a Heroes game (I chose H3 because, well, it's better) with the lore of Jadame and Might and Magic (specifically 8, because, it's better  ).
Could be a mod, but, I just wanted to post it. It sounds cool to me 
As for the units to make it work I had to tweak some of the lore a bit so that the towns would work H3 style, rather than just every individual unit for itself.
Instead of just castles you have cities. There are 7 cities, each with a unique race, and 3 neutral cities. Each city stands as a faction, with heroes, units, abilities of their own, like in H3.
They are:
SHADOWSPIRE:
These dark lands were scorched black during a war between the Necromancers of Shadowspire and the Clerics of Murmurwoods. The sky is always black so that the vampires of the realm can freely roam the lands without taking sun damage. They are sworn enemies of the Clerics and are experts in the arts of Dark Magic, which is a specialty to this race.

That's the best twisting of a MM RPG into a H3 game. I think it'd be pretty cool, and could actually work.
