What does ERA add to Heroes 3? Is it just an easier to way make mods or does it add more towns?

From the read me.
Era is a combination of patched exe of 3.59 alpha (2005), corrected scripts (to work with this exe) and a small dll to provide extra functionality. What do you need it for?
For ordinary gamers:
You can play Heroes on laptops and CPU will not grow over 1-3 % when it's your turn.
Script errors will not spoil your save game any more.
You will enjoy new features such as possibility to transfer the last stack between heroes/garrisons or 100 % chance of summoning boat without having Water Magic.
ERM (Event Related Module, WoG script engine) is more stable now. A few bugs were corrected.
You will be able to use advanced scripts and mods.
For mod makers and script writers:
All crc checks in exe have been deactivated. You can modify it freely.
Restriction on functions' numbers (1..30000) has been removed. Use any you like which are greater than 30000
A few events (triggers) like: save/load game (pressing button "L", writing and reading data to/from save game), keyboard handling, hero screen enter/exit, decision on who moves in a battle (you can implement initiative or a custom morale system).
There is a possibility to load external dlls, call exported functions (for example, WinAPI or functions exported by Angel.dll like SaveGame).
You can save games with ERM.
With new options you'll be able to:
Disable load game confirmation
Disable feature "The Grail in Conflux gives all spells"
Disable ERM real time timer (greatly increases game speed)
Colorful dialogs with HTML-like syntax (yeah, white and yellow colors are in the past).
+ all TE new triggers (DL, TL, SP)

Right... The way I see it its new features will come in handy for expert modders only...
I don't see how these features will allow the addition of new towns and creatures... I guess If someone is willing to achieve this (to be fair HotA team already achieved it, although it seems to be buggy at the time being) then it will surely be worthwile.
I guess only time will tell...

I think it could be possible through external DLLs.

I must admit I never got why everyone is so obsessed with new towns or creatures. Adding them is only part of the problem, another difficulty would be to avoid the game balance break which they will cause. So considering that adding a town takes several years, and still does not work, and then we should count another year of testing to make the new creatures stats accorded to the game perfect balance, is it worth the time spent?
Within this time, hundred of other interesting things can be achieved, to make the game more interesting or bring simply fresh air.

@Salamandre
To be able to add things is actually a plus. I agree, a new town would be too much...And anyway having 3 towns of every alignment (Good, Evil, Neutral) is actually sufficient. But adding to the number of different creatures you might encounter in the map, that truly enrichens the game.

Not included, of course.
They are created as external DLLs.

The problem with new creatures is that they look Frankestein when mixed to regular. Except those from Alex-ander but there are too few, and not in complete form, so I see none to add. The only way is to replace all and keep your eyes safe

This. Very nice.
Respect to those people who have been working on and fiddling with HoMM3 modding for years. And years. Your patience is inhuman.

1. Does this installer includes New objects patch 1.9?
2. Is ERA exe compatible with map built-in pre-3.58f scripts or can I play old WoG maps with ERA?
