Modding Reflections
Hello there, fellow Heroes of Might and Magic fans and Modding Community!
In the light of the new expansion as well as the numerous mods made for Heroes of Might and Magic 7, I am taking time to write down my modding reflections, hoping that they will somehow be useful to the ever-increasing number of modders in the Heroes VII community.
Heroes II and Heroes III can be remade - Since I am not a Heroes VII modder and I do not have installed Heroes VII nor own its expansion, I cannot tell about the modding limits it presents(for example if it allows to add completely new towns), however, I'm quite certain that most III resources can be remade as well as all H2 ones(probably except for the Halfling).
Chronicles of Might and Magic - has many interesting 3D Models that can be used to re-add the Heroes III creatures in Heroes VII. For example, Red&Black Dragon models that can be made to fit the Black Dragon skeleton (and maybe improved a little).
Also, the Expansion offers the animations for the Minotaur, Manticore and the Swordsman/Crusader (Black Guard?). Maybe the Zombie can use Black Guard animset.
On the meantime I will prepare a document with all the animset parallels between H2,H3 and H7 which I will upload in the coming days and post here. (It might be a little hard since I do not know exactly the animsets the new expansion provides but I will try).
