New factions: Forge, Cathedral, Kronverk In the early stages of the project, some features were announced which are now "frozen" by the team, but still are lively discussed in the gaming communities. There are some tournaments being maintained by the team and the wide gaming community. In other words, HotA is designed to become an ultimate version of Heroes III for online gaming. The HotA Crew (a semi-official name of the team) also claims the project to be heavily multiplayer-oriented. For instance, the creature dwellings are able to accumulate creatures, necromancy skill has undergone a major reform (the percentages are halved in comparison to those of SoD) and some heroes have their specialties reconsidered. Added in version 1.5 was the Highlands terrain, native to the Conflux faction.Īmongst other developments, HotA also brings some careful adjustments to the vanilla Heroes III mechanics. Water terrain playability and water objects are treated with special attention, due to the pirate theme of the new Cove faction. HotA brings new map objects, some being reskins of existing ones (such as additional monoliths and terrain-wise hill forts), and some new, like decorative objects, Conservatories, Shrines and more. In addition, the new Cannon war machine native to the Cove faction is also considered a very helpful addition to every army due to its advantages over the classic ballista. The playing strategies often concern the Accurate Shot ability of the Sea Dogs, Revenge ability of the Haspids, and often the good defensive stats of the Nixes and Nix Warriors. The Cove faction is mainly attack-oriented, with its heroes having their primary skills growth prioritized like 45/25/20/10 for Captains and 15/10/40/35 for Navigators before 10th level with 30/30/20/20 for both classes after the 10th level. The Cannon cannot be bought anywhere except the Cove town or the Cannon Yard, a new global map object. It possesses greater combat statistics to those of the ballista, and costs 4000 gold. It cannot be put in a backpack, and replaces Ballista in the Hero inventory. HotA invents the new type of the war machine - the Cannon. The Pirate creature has two upgrades, similar to the green dragon in Heroes of Might and Magic II. The Cove lineup is represented by pirates, sea sorcerers and various sea creatures which are allied to them.
Several heroes from the other games of the series, like Astra, appear in the Cove's hero roster. The HotA project fills the empty space on the Regnan topic, and provides new related campaigns for players to know more about the Regnan Empire and the Cove faction in specific. This is in contrast to the Foolhardy Waywardness campaign in Armageddon's Blade, where the Regnan Empire was represented by the classical castles without adding any new creatures. The Cove is a town representing the Regnan Empire which is often mentioned in Might and Magic VI and Might and Magic VII, and featured in Might and Magic VIII as the Regna Island location.
#MIGHTY GOOSE GOG UPDATE#
The Cove faction was added to the game Might & Magic Heroes: Era of Chaos in an update in November 2020. Moreover, it saves the original game's functionality, unlike the VCMI platform, and is fully standalone, meaning it does not interfere with the original game, and they can both be run normally once HotA is installed. Unlike WoG-based modifications, HotA provides a complete tenth castle without replacing any of the existing ones. The Cove is the tenth castle which is a calling card of the project. 2.1 New factions: Forge, Cathedral, Kronverk.
