Might and Magic VIII: Echo of Destruction is an ambitious project aiming to create a huge piece of previously untold Jadame history before the Collapse. In general, it is supposed to serve as a sequel to the moment of Escaton the Destroyer's defeat and describes the consequences of the destruction of Escaton's Crystal.
The world of the so-called MM8,5 includes both old locations of Jadame and entirely new ones, for example, the cold land of Vori the Snow Elves, the Island of Snakes, The Lost City and several others.
As it turned out, the Escaton's Crystal was not entirely destroyed by the forces of Elemental Lords. The foul monument, serving as a door to the Plane Between Planes was split into five pieces, which were scattered through Jadame and started spreading chaos and death around.
The shards of Escaton's Crystal opened the gates to the previously unknown dimension called The Asylum, full of strange and bizarre phenomena, creatures and laws of existence.
Apart from that, new order started to appear on the continent of Jadame. The Necromancers Guild was victorious in a bloody war with the Church of the Sun, and the Dragons of Garrote Gorge were defeated in a fight against the most dangerous predator - the human.
With the disappearance of the Elemental Gates the landscape of Jadame tends to change, and new trade routes emerge...
Might and Magic VIII: Echo of Destruction plot is inspired mainly on the fan castle concepts for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Horn of the Abyss, and contains many cross-links with it, which can be noticed easily by attentive HotA players.

Currently the project is in active development. The progress rate is not as fast as desired, for the huge amount of work sometimes overwhelms us, but we cannot afford ourselves to create an underqualified product, and we hope you understand. :)
Anyways, one of the main reasons for us to gain your attention is currently our need in new staff. The jobs we require are:
1. - Photoshop Artists (Texture making)
2. - 3D Modellers (New dungeons)
3. - 3D Modellers (New objects in low-poly)
If you feel yourself confident in your skills and desire to help your favourite game to prosper,
contact Maestro (Team Leader) at maestro_mod@yahoo.com for further details.
Keep your hand on the pulse!

Don't do MM8.5 anymore, just merge and enhance it with 678

Hello world, I tried finding anything akin to a download option on the interwerbs since this mod sounds amazing but could not find anyfink. So, I guess this project is dead? :-(
Is this mod still ongoing? Or is it released somewhere else?
Here is the official link to BDJ mod for MM7.

Please 5 seconds and press "Skip this add". Then you will be able to start downloading the MM7revMODF. It is 60 MB large.
Have Fun!
Hi there!
Is the project still alive? It would be great if we could test a beta version or else.
I really hope you will plan make a release soon.
Thanks and regards
It's fantastic, that Maestro is back! His MM7 mod was very, very good and I also remember his work on dark elves castle for Heroes 3. I hope features from this project will see the daylight at last.
It will be multilanguages? because i have the italian version of Might and magic 8
I suppose it will have only English and Russian languages at start.
