Wow! This is, without a doubt, the most stunning HoMM mod I’ve ever seen. Congratulations on creating such an exceptional masterpiece!

Grotto? Either that was revealed or speculated in this video or I'd missed something earlier, but it seems we might now know the names of all three towns.

Do the Dark Elf units have Displacer Beast？

Thanks for those news again!
We already have had a look at the townscreen, but in this picture with a correct color sceme it looks just beautiful. The mix between the different elements in color and style…I just want to try it out. I‘m also looking forward to the complete unit lineup.
Just a short question at the end. Of course you are planning some graphical updates. Will there be a support for a fullscreen townscreen with a high resolution? That is a small detail I‘m missing while playing the HD Mo. I don‘t know id it is even easy or possible of if I am just to stupid and it is already possible with HD mod

I suspect that there isn't so much a Dark Elf town as a town with a Dark Elf unit, but that aside a couerl-like has the disadvantage of being a blatant D&D-ism, though on the flip side that's definitely not something H3 itself was averse to (just look at the Evil Eyes), and there is something appropriate to the science-fantasy background of Might and Magic of having a fantasy creature that ultimately came from a science fiction story.

I think H3 was not only "not averse" to D&Disms, it is literally comprised mostly of those. I'm not even sure how they got away with all that legally.

There wasn't anything else quite as explicit as the Evil Eyes - other D&Disms were more details, in that in a general description they'd be things that had been floating around in other fantasy well before 1999 or had too clear mythological basis (hence not being deemed Product Identity when D&D started doing that), or in the case of the Gorgon being a metal-scaled bull with deadly breath has a very clear 17th century literary precedent.

As the times had changed, old DnDisms aren't anything like referencing it today.
Some people think perythons and cockatrices are from it...

@mitsche91
Apologies for not replying earlier. These days have been and are very busy. 
It's funny that you mention that, because just one day before your post, I talked with the programmers about it, and they were inclined to implement that. Personally, a major turn off for me when playing at higher resolutions are the minuscule town screen and combat, so this is a nice change for me.
@LordInsane
Fun fact, but the short sci-fi story "Black Destroyer" is the one to actually feature the "Coeurl", originally.
Otherwise, a little PSA: The second campaign for the HoMM3 boardgame is now on! Stronghold, Conflux and the Cove are ready to make it on the players' tables!*
*On their delivery next year.

Indeed, that - and by extension Voyage of the Space Beagle - was what I was alluding to with "ultimately came from a science fiction story". Fantasy creature, in that Displacer Beasts are a long-running D&D creature and are very likely familiar to a wider audience through that, but still based on a sci-fi creature from van Vogt's pen.

Wow, tons of new stuff to take in and analyse here. Everything I see on the adventure map looks fantastic! Also: Interesting water effect with the reflection. If done for all objects including the old ones (I saw them on the boy and the flotsam but I'm not sure if they were on all the old reefs) they could look beautiful in the game, I think.
The only thing I am not too happy about is the current state of the heroes' portraits. They seem way different from the original ones. I hope they are still WIP and not final.
Anyway, I'm curious to learn more and take my hat off to the team!

Holy snow, cannot wait to play this (and make maps with all those beautiful new objects) 
The portraits look fine to me, maybe just a little smooth compared to the more sharp originals.

I guess this more-or-less confirms the third town will have involvement from some dark elves - but it also looks like it might have gnomes (or something gnome-ish but not technically gnomes, but that already describes the tomte).

That's easily the best-looking fan version of Forge. I love the perspective, and how it pays homage to the box art for Armageddon's Blade. Great work so far!

I couldn't put my finger on it but I think you're right, it's the smoothness in comparison to the originals that makes them stand out to me. The portraits themselves are nice, I want to add.
And I totally agree on the Forge. To me it looks much better than the dark one we are ‘used to’.
EDIT:
I've just noticed two thing looking at the screenshots again.
- The neon light beer on what I guess will be Forge's tavern. Love it!
- We can see what Grotto's town hall looks like in the list of cities in the Grotto town screen. (Well we can see that on the adventure map screenshot as well, obviously)

Everyone, thank you for the kind words! Me and much of the team are currently resting after all of this work for the teaser at h3gg, but soon enough, we will also share these things (and a few others) ourselves and with a few more explanations!
@FdgK @MurlocAggroB
Now the Forge returned to its real roots, as it was imagined by Gregory Fulton many years ago. I am really happy you and others like it. Some more polishing will still come, obviously (eg. the road stands out a bit too much right now).
@LordInsane
More will be shown on today's h3gg stream. There will be an English interview, where what the Grotto actually is will be explained (finally!). You might find it quite intriguing.
