Hello patient followers of H3SW!
Two weeks ago we announced the reveal trailer for the next version of H3SW to be released this year. If you haven't seen it yet, feel free to check it out:
The next update will include a lot of new features such as H2-styled siege battlefields, additional H2 spell animations, improved town screens, more than 10 new maps from HoMM I, II and III, bug and balance fixes as well as new music packs which allow you to easily customize the in-game soundtrack to your liking whether you prefer the original H2SW themes, the expansion Price of Loyalty music, the retro MIDI soundtrack or maybe even orchestral version as provided by the wonderful Heroes Orchestra! You can mix and max however you like.
Here is the first of a new line of promo screenshots. This one shows the improvements made to the Sorceress town screen. We hope you enjoy and thanks for supporting H3SW!!

How beautiful!
Is there a mod like this that keeps the Heroes 3 gameplay intact, and only replaces the visuals with the superior Heroes 2 sprites?
I guess that H3SW is the mod that fits your description the best, but it does change up the classic HoMM III gameplay with several elements from HoMM II
HI @sir_albe and Orzie, since your already working on a HOMM 3 engine, can you please add some ITEM set and new monsters on the next version.
Hello
We are thinking about the contents of the next version, but I cannot promise anything specific about artifacts or creatures yet
Hello!
While new artifacts definitely won't hurt, there is little hope that many new creatures will appear in further updates. It's not that the game really needs them for now.
Hello there is anyway to play online multiplayer with this mod ? Thanks :)
Hello.
Yes, you should be able to get it working by using the same version of H3SW on both PCs and then connecting through GameRanger for instance.
Hi. My son and I are loving this mod, introducing him to my most beloved game when I was young. Are there any maps made specially for this mod for multiple players to enjoy together? Tried using the original heroes 3 map pool but there are some incomplete assets i.e empty level creatures which makes the experience less than ideal. Thanks again and I just want to say this is an amazing mod!
Hello and thanks a lot for the nice words!!
Yes, actually maps for H3SW are included with the mod and are the only maps which are fully compatible with H3SW. Otherwise you will see a result similar to what you saw with the standard H3 maps. You should have no problem accessing the H3SW maps as they are the default maps available in the scenario selection menu. Please write back if you are still having trouble. Cheers from Sir Albe
Is it possible to translate this awesome Mod? I'd love to translate it to german, but i don't know how (MMArchive? Files?).

Hello and thanks for the kind words! Yes, I believe it should be possible to translate most of the text to German, but it is a quite large task. Still, if you are up for it a good place to start is by extracting the .txt files from the h3sw.pac. This can easily be done with the MMarchive program :)
