H3SW General Discussion

Let's enter spring with some fresh look at new spell graphics for H3SW! Both Cold Ray, Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning have received sprites matching their H2 appearance, making battles more visually pleasant

omg
That is something very pleasant to see!
I love that cold ray design.

Hello all! All the siege screens are ready and I think that they look pretty enough. This is my last work here, as I am quitting modding for good. I've married last year, started full-time job and awaiting child right now. Still I will be wandering around from time to time Thank you for all these years of support! VEEEEERY big sorry for all those who played "An unexpected visit", by mistake I have added hardcore, impossible version that was meant for my brother ;P I hope that new, bug-free version of the map will see the sunlight together with a next release (whenever it will be ;P ).

That's beautiful! The water must be hot, cause the snow "stops" in straight line.

Congratz on reaching Such achievements in real life
Maybe your children will continue your modding stuff on H3SW, in 20 years.

Great work dear friend!! The siege screens look amazing

I cannot describe all the amazing work you have done for H3SW. Everything from an entirely new and sharp interface, to battle backgrounds and siege screens to fixing the entire map editor and adding sprites for various new creatures. H3SW wouldn't have been at its glorious place today had you not been put in all your hard work. You started on H3SW way back in 2012 I believe, that is longer ago than all other current team member, myself included. Again, thank you for all you put into H3SW, and I would like to say how much I have enjoyed working with you all these years. Luckily, that doesn't mean we won't talk anymore, rather the opposite

Thank you very much for all your involvement in this project. I've got a feeling that, in some way, it developed us as people, and I hope that you feel it too.

I will try to direct my time towards further development despite all current odds in my life so that your work won't be in vain. It's been hell of a ride together.

I wish you happy time with your family and please come visit us from time to time!

Since it's my first post - hello everybody!

I admit that I've quite recently discovered the Succession Wars mod and I'm charmed. My favourite games in the series are (and probably will always be) 2nd and 4th entry. However, as much as I like the general aesthethics of Heroes 2 and many other things, I must admit (eh) that Heroes III has plenty of small improvements and changes, making the game more comfortable to play.

Your mod perfectly fills that gap. I highly appreciate the fact, that SW mod respects in high degree Heroes 2 "source", and not only in terms of aesthethics, but also in terms of concept for sides of conflict. And at the same time - I really, really appreciate adding one new unit per "old" side of conflict (that second shooting unit for Knight is a perfect idea). And those two new sides are also well made. The quality of new units/sides of conflict is so high, that (at least for me) it's 100% comparable with the original content's quality.

Ok, here is one small question - unfortunately, I have no idea how to learn making such great graphic assets ("pixel-art", as it was well named in the "recruiting" post), in fact I'm completely green in making graphics at all. Since I don't have possibility to contribute with my work - do you accept some kind of donations from your fans? If yes - how can those be sent to you? I know, it's not the most sophisticated way of support, but without necessary skills/knowledge, I want at least support you in this way. If you're not accepting donations, of course I will respect it.

Thanks in advance for answer. And good luck with further development!
