Valiant Beast Hunting map for Horn of the Abyss
Seven realms lived in peace. Stories of Beast Master Scouts attacking settlements and forts in search of the Iron Fist Relic started to arise.
Rumor has it the scouts are led by a witch named the Enchantress. She only answers to the Beast Master King who has yet to make an apearance.

How to install Heroes 3 VCMI and mods 2026 guide
The Heroes III VCMI engine is an excellent choice if you want to try completely new towns such as Pavilion, Forge, Grove, Courtyard, and countless other modifications that can be installed with a single click through the VCMI Launcher.
The installation process is very simple and only takes a few steps. The “hardest” part is obtaining the GOG version of Heroes III Complete. A video tutorial is also available. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Obtain Heroes III Data Files
Download the offline backup installers for Heroes III Complete from GOG.com. There are two files: one with the .exe extension and another with the .bin extension.
I highly recommend keeping these offline installation files on your PC, as virtually all Heroes III mods require the GOG version of Heroes III Complete.
Save both files in the same folder.
Step 2: Download and Install VCMI
Download the latest version of VCMI from the official GitHub repository. For Windows, look for the file named VCMI-Windows-x86.exe.
Download the installer and run it.
Complete the installation process and launch the VCMI Launcher.
Step 3: Import Heroes III Data into VCMI
Open the VCMI Launcher and choose your preferred language.
In the next step, select “Install gog.com files”, locate the folder containing your GOG Heroes III Complete offline installers, and select the .exe file.
The game files will be imported into VCMI. During the next step, you can immediately choose several major modifications to download and install. Personally, I recommend Horn of the Abyss and Tides of War.
Step 4: Finish the Setup in the Launcher
That’s it! VCMI is now installed and ready to play.
The VCMI Launcher gives you one-click access to all available mods. You can also customize various settings, such as your screen resolution or graphical filters.
If two mods are incompatible, VCMI automatically disables the conflicting ones. The system also works the other way around, automatically enabling compatible configurations whenever possible. It’s a fantastic feature.
Once you’ve installed all the mods you want, click “Game” in the top-left corner of the Launcher, then click “Play” in the bottom-right corner.
Have fun playing and testing, heroes!

Greg Fulton is writing a book about the development of HoMM 3
Greg Fulton, one of the key figures behind the creation of Heroes III and the Armageddon’s Blade expansion, has revealed that he is currently working on a book dedicated to the development of the Heroes 3.
The news was shared during a recent interview with Archon Studio, where Fulton discussed the return of the Forge faction and reflected on his long history with the Heroes franchise.
During the interview, he confirmed that he is focused on completing the “HoMM 3 Recollections” that originally appeared in the Fanstratics newsletters. His goal is to finish the writing by the end of this year and self-publish the book early next year.
For those unfamiliar with Greg’s role in Heroes 3, he worked closely with David Mullich and Jon Van Caneghem and helped shape many of the mechanics, systems, and design decisions that contributed to Heroes III becoming one of the most beloved strategy games of all time.
While no official release date has been announced yet, Fulton’s current plan is to publish the book sometime in 2027. We will be closely following any new updates and will share more information as soon as it becomes available.

A battle of heroes without armies, who will win or lose?
The video was created at the suggestion of the last batch of "Did you know?". In a battle of heroes without armies, both heroes leave the battle as losers, without the possibility of being hired again in the tavern.
