This turn-based, strategy ³ ³ war game is set in the fantasy world of the Might and Magic® computer ³ ³ role-playing games. Like these games, Heroes III features a rich magic ³ ³ system, character development, a bestiary of fantastic foes and allies, ³ ³ quests, a world to explore, and gripping story lines. It is, however, ³ ³ focused on elements of strategic conquest—the building of mighty armies, ³ ³ territorial expansion, siege warfare, and the clash of battle. ³ ³ ³ ³ In Heroes III, you control the actions of heroes to complete mission ³ ³ objectives in a variety of conflicts taking place in the mythical land of ³ ³ Erathia. As heroes travel across the land with their armies, they can ³ ³ explore, seek artifacts, and find treasure, as well as lead their armies ³ ³ into battle. Towns can also have armies garrisoned for their defense and ³ ³ act as centers for recruitment, the learning of magic spells, and trading.³ ³ Towns you conquer become part of your territory. You may develop your ³ ³ towns to provide yourself with offensive, defensive, and logistical ³ ³ advantages. ³ ³ ³ ³ Missions can be self-contained single scenarios, linked together into ³ ³ multi-scenario campaigns, or played as multi-player scenarios against ³ ³ other human players across a network. While a vast array of pre-designed ³ ³ scenarios come with the game, you can also create your own using the ³ ³ provided Map Editor tool. However you choose to play, we’re sure that ³ ³ you will be pleased with Heroes III. ³ ³ ³ ³ Enjoy. ³ ³ ³ ³ What's new: ³ ³ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ³ ³ ³ ³ Players of Heroes of Might and Magic, and Heroes II, will find the game ³ ³ has been vastly expanded.

Heroes may enter passageways to explore caverns ³ ³ and tunnels. ³ ³ Grail Buildings. You may now seek the Grail instead of ultimate ³ ³ artifacts. ³ ³ Finding the Grail allows you to construct special Grail buildings which ³ ³ greatly increase and enhance a town’s economic output and other town ³ ³ variables. ³ ³ Graphic Resolution Increased.

The combat battlefield is now 15 x 11 hexes, ³ ³ a 67% increase! ³ ³ Heroes Command More Creature Stacks. Heroes can now have seven stacks in ³ ³ their army. ³ ³ New War Machines.

Additionally, you can ³ ³ access a Quest Log for information about quest items your hero has ³ ³ gathered. ³ ³ Taverns. Heroes are now recruited at taverns instead of castles. ³ ³ Paper Doll Inventory System.
