Heroes IV Chronicles
Would anyone be interested in playing the Heroes Chronicles campaigns converted to play in Heroes 4 format? Work on them is still in the beginning phase. Your comments, one way or another, welcome:
If you are interested in this project, you could speed up the process of getting them in your game by looking at http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=47190
For now, it's all being done by hand and could take a little while to complet all of the campaigns as they are being done by hand one map at a time.

I think best solution is waiting for this tool. To not waste time. After conversion 90% works you have in some minuts.

Yes, waiting for the new converting map editor would be the ideal thing to do, but there's no telling how long it'll take to have it fully operational for what is needed here. After all, the new map editor is still in it's infancy. But with that said, iliveinabox05, Karmakeld and a few others on the project are making rapid advances on it. Moving along quite well, actually.
The group of people doing the HIV Chronicles have the first 3 maps of Warriors of the Wastelands completed. The rest of the maps in the campaign series will have the base map (Dirt, Rough Terrain, Grass, Swamp, Water etc.) done with the converting map editor, basically making the H4util for this purpose obsolete. It has speeded up the process of making the base maps anyway.
As development continues with the converting map editor, we proceed one map at a time, one object at a time on each map of H4, to precisely match what is on the H3 maps. The project is moving right along. Some placements have to be adjusted for obvious reasons: (8 different factions in H3 as compared to 6 in H4.) But it's manageable with compensation already implemented for balance.
It's quite possible that the first campaign should be ready by the end of November. Or sooner, hopefully.

As you want and have time. H4util may be helpful only for basic ground from picture. But its small help. Handmaking needs a lot of time.

The first campaign of the Heroes Chronicles series, Warriors of the Wasteland has been completed and is being finalized for testing. This is an 8 map campaign that is as precise to the original as possible. In this version, you will experience some H4 elements, but for the most part it mirrors the H3 version more.
I found H4 to be the perfect platform to tell the story of the entire Chronicles series. After all, Heroes Chronicles is about the story. So, if you've never played any of the Heroes Chronicles campaigns, now is your chance to experience what a great story these campaigns really tell. If you've played WotW in H3 format, get ready for a new experience with the same great storyline as the original, only now it's in the world of Axeoth.
iliveinabox05 has been going over the entire scripting process, storyline and campaign arrangements, as well as handling the playtesting end of it. His most current Advanced Map Editor was used in the terrain layout for the maps included in this campaign. (And while I'm typing this, he is also improving the AME to do even more for the next campaign in the series!!)
Seeing how much he has on his plate, if you'd like to help him out with the testing, he would love to hear from you. The more eyes on this project, the better the product, obviously.
