Remember, this is just a summary of information thread. You can have all the pictures you want in the threads dedicated to each mod. I had in mind sort of like a table-of-contents graphic. Just something small with the mod title or something in it. One pic per mod, otherwise the post becomes too long. In fact, it may be a good idea to enforce some kind of picture dimension. Let's see what people turn in and I'll decide if we need to do some rescaling.

So, shall we start filling in the forms now?
I would also put the additional paragraph in your list - the compatibility with other mods, if any. For instance, currently TSW Mod is compatible only with HD Mod and WoG options, and both - partially.
Just got tired explaining to people that they MUST disable all junk in their Era Mod Manager before whining about inconsistencies.

Under Era, there should be a link to main Era mods thread but a few of the big Era mods can have their own entry near towns. My suggestions are Hero of Light, Phoenix Mod, Succession Wars and Wog Revised. Wog Revised should also be mentioned in the Wog section, it's practically Wog 2.0
I also suggest including the HD Mod to the index with Era, VCMI, HotA, Wog 3.59.

@Orzie
Sure, you can post information here or send me HCM. I will compile everything, post it for review, and then when we have general agreement, I will post the new thread. Along with that, I'd like you guys to generate a list of mods and stuff that deserve entries. Keep in mind that others can be added down the road, so this doesn't have to be comprehensive at the get-go.
Your idea for compatibility is good; this kind of thing is what I had in mind for "system requirements", so maybe we'll call that "system requirements and compatibility issues".
@artu
Ok, that sounds good. I thought to create a new thread for this discussion but I think we can just do it all here. Since we'll have a section dedicated to towns, I think I'd prefer to keep all town information in that section. Threads linked to in the mods section should be general information and discussion threads, although I'm open to counter-opinions.

Well, Hero of Light, Succession Wars, Phoenix ... These are not exactly new towns, although they modify (some) towns. But they are big mods with new units, interface and game mechanics. They are not stand alone mods though, you will need Era 2 to play them. So it may be best to have two main sections:
1- Stand alone, main mods that can also be called platforms. (VCMI, Era, Hota, HD, Wog, Wog 3.59)
These may have sub-links to their mod collection threads. (60 Era mods, VCMI mods, HotA maps etc etc.)
2- Big mods that significantly change game play but which function under the ones above. (HoL, Phoenix, Grove Town, VCMI Towns, Succession Wars)

As to VCMI mods, we encourage placing them also on our subforum. There have been already some mods here at HC that were buried because of little response.

This is also an option. The issue is that posts older than 1 year can only be edited by moderator who is not always present or up to date.

i would, but i don't know diddley squat about them. why not have the creators/project leaders write the intro's? i'm sure they wouldn't be too busy to self-promote.

Most mods already have descriptions written by the creators in their main thread, anyway. For starters we can copy/paste them. Once there is something on page, we can all step in for missing info. Right now, it's like writing in the air.

I don't think it's a good idea to change and rewrite the post anytime someone decides to update several letters.
Also, I don't know if some modders even care about their project put to the post just because they are retired. For example, the Master of Puppets mod.

Cut and paste them here, to help assemble the final product, if you want.

Are these too long?
Era 2:
Easily installed and uninstalled mods with advanced compatibility and extensibility, plugins and patches, mod manager and plugin manager with GUI. Game and mods are fully portable. No traditional installation process, registry problems or CD requirements,Ability to use third-party plugins and patches, Fix game and ERM scripting language bugs, make the development and debugging cycle for mods easier, make it easier to keep scripts compatibile with each other. It can be installed over WoG 3.58, previous Era versions, SoD or Heroes Complete Edition.
VCMI:
The purpose of VCMI project is to rewrite entire HOMM 3: WoG engine from scratch, giving it new and extended possibilities. We are hoping to support mods and new towns already made by fans, but abandoned because of game code limitations.
VCMI is fan-made open-source project in progress. It already allows support for new mods, higher resolutions and extended engine limits. VCMI is not standalone product, it requires original game. VCMI can be installed either on Shadow of Death, Wake of Gods or ERA versions.
HotA:
HotA is a global add-on for Heroes of might and magic III that extends (and fixes if needed) classical gameplay elements and adds some of its own. On a more conceptual level – HotA is an attempt to continue legendary series RoE-AB-SoD as close to the original as it could have been done by NWC team, if only they had more desire, resources or even understanding of their own game. We try to keep classical h3 spirit in every tiny detail from code nuances to overall gameplay. It includes new fully playable town, Cove with new war machine, cannon, available at Cove’s Blacksmith; new artifacts and artifact sets, new banks and conservatories, new types of map objects, new heroes and more.
HD Mod:
HoMM 3 HD Mod changes game resolution to anything from 800x600 to 4000x4000, adds new functionality, extra buttons and interface, fixes some HoMM3 original bugs. It also lets you choose your random map template. HD Mod doesn't change original gameplay. Compability: SoD, Complete, WoG, TE, WT, Era 2 and some other SoD/WoG/TE-based mods.

Hi artu, I know I owe you a response. I apologize, this week has just been brutal. I will get to this soon.

Hello, i'd like to ask some questions and i don't see how i can do so since i can't make a new thread.
I'd really like to try out the new mods for Heroes 3 but i simply don't know where to start and what the mods do.
All the WoG links i found were closed, i don't really understand what VCMI does nor what HOTA is.
I understand it's complicated to make long descriptions of the mods to include every modification but i literally don't see what VCMI adds to the game for example, nor what HOTA does other than the new faction + cannon.
Plus, most links are dead and it's very confusing to find what is up do date and what is abandonware.
Thanks for the organization, i hope you can help me out.

Well this is why I wanted a new master post that summarizes the current status of all major H3 mod projects, but I got exactly one response to my call for information, so currently that plan is kind of dead in the water.

i think Wall deserves a qp for uploading these graphics. there is a great number of graphics, that can be used(after working on, mind you) for the "upgraded graphics" version of HoMM3, that people seem to want. which, in my understanding, is something of great value...
i also think that every single member here, from both the HotA and VCMI team, deserve a qp each, at the very least. it's been far too long, that they have produced so much, and have not been properly rewarded(according to the system here) for their tireless and great contributions to this forum.

Sorry for the delay on this. I'm willing to award the +QP if the hosting and downloading issue can be fixed.
