-	The ghosts created by this spell are fast, and though they don't do much damage in combat, they have a devastating touch that ages the target.

This spell can therefore be thought of as producing a mobile ageing spell, and because of this effect, Raise Ghost can be very useful even in a huge battle. Though the ghosts may not survive their maiden voyage, they can deliver, by touch, one of the most vicious debuffs in the game - one that affects stacks of all sizes equally.

During the Reckoning, she was one of the many who crossed over into the new world of [[Axeoth]], but her entire family perished. It seems that she was saved by an [[angel]], and was the last person to cross over before that particular gate closed, if the Heroes IV trailer is to be taken literally. Once in Axeoth, she was taken in by an old echantress, and it is presumed that she was taught basic [[Order magic]] in this period.

	===Rise to Leadership===		===Rise to Leadership===
		+	The life of the Enrothian refugees on Axeoth was insecure and uncertain, and they were regularly forced to flee away from the their settlements in order to avoid raiders and marauders. On one such occasion, Emilia voiced her frustration out loud. She asked why no one stood up against the injustice. To her immediate surprise, a group of halflings and dwarves pledged their support to her, if she could lead them to a safe home. Reluctantly, she accepted the position.

Created page with 'Briefly about the Horn of the Abyss add-on project: The aim of the project is to create an add-on for Heroes of Might & Magic III [[Heroes of Might & Magic III: Shadow of Dea…'

New page

Briefly about the Horn of the Abyss add-on project:
The aim of the project is to create an add-on for [[Heroes of Might & Magic III]] [[Heroes of Might & Magic III: Shadow of Death|SoD]]\Heroes of Might & Magic III: Wake of Gods|WoG]] (it will be installable over every version) with lots of new features. The main accent of add-on is the quality of all new features. This includes the maintenance of original game balance, and of course making all new graphic materials in the original heroes style.

Many people would like to know how this add-on is connected to the WoG. HotA IS NOT a new version or sequel or new branch of the WoG add-on - it is absolutely independent and is created by different people. The HotA team has no connections with the WoG team at all. As for the technical aspect – [[ERM]] script language from WoG is used in add-on, and also the full compatibility with WoG will be saved. Players will be able to play WoG maps and campaigns and even to switch on the WoG options panel in HotA (if they want of course =))

Main direction is to create the classical add-on. What is meant by the term “classical”? This can be explained by an example – the original Heroes III add-on – The Armageddon’s Blade - included new monsters, new landscapes, new artifacts and as the “main dish” - the new town. But the original Heroes style and gameplay remained the same in the add-on. The same can be said about the HotA. The main tendency for it is the development and improvement of traditional game elements instead of making something absolutely new and sometimes out of style. Also we work on the technical progress of the game we are going to improve some graphics and the interface.

==versions of the HotA==
It is planned to create three global versions of add-on (these plans are only for the nearest future. There will be more versions):
1.0 will include new [[Cove]] Town, the first part of the add-on campaign, some new artifacts, monsters, objects etc.
2.0 New [[Kronverk]] Town, the second part of the campaign (and also new missions connected with [[alternative town creatures]] besides the main campaign), new arts, monsters, spells and objects.
3.0 New [[Cathedral]] town, the third part of the campaign and some new stuff.
4.0 and later - Undecided yet. It’s likely to be the roman style town.

==List of the main new features of three global versions==
1) New towns
• The Pirates Cove. The main part of its population is [[pirate]]s, [[brigand]]s, marine creatures und different deep-sea monsters. The general alignment is neutral. The strategy and tactics are oriented on the fast unit speed and sudden attack. As for the weak sides of the town can be mentioned 4-level magic guild, rather weak defense and that some town features become useless on maps without water landscape. The general architecture style of the Cove is medieval and a bit rough. Most buildings are wooden except the stone Fort. The Cove will be released in HotA 1.0 beta-version 0.1

• The Kronverk (germ.) – the alliance of the northern nations – [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[highlander]]s and [[nordling]]s. The town consists of these races and other northern mythical creatures. The Kronwerk tactical style will depend on maximal defense and to the magical potential of the town NEW magic spells ([[Rune magic (HotA)|Rune magic]]) will be added. As for the weak sides – rather slow unit speed and no flying units. Architecture – roman style and some Eskimo-styled (igloo, buildings made from ice and snow). The town will be released in HotA 2.0.
• The Cathedral - inquisition, religious fanatics practicing torture and magic. Neutral alignment – (for their objectives tend to be good, but their methods are certainly evil). Strategy and tactics – attack oriented, powerful attack spells. Weak sides – rather slow speed, medium defense. Classic Gothic architecture – high buildings, narrow windows, faint lightning. The town screen will have bleak and sombre autumn atmosphere. This town will be released in HotA 3.0

==Alternative creatures==
There will be three alternative creatures in every original town, as well as in every new town. Not much is known about them. For example in the Rampart you will have to choose what to build – the Pegasus dwelling or the dwelling for new alternative monster – [[Satyr]]. Satyrs will be 4th level creatures as well as Pegasus.

The reason of including alternative monsters in the game is to add loads of new tactic schemes and to improve the game balance. Do not confuse alternative monsters with alternative upgrades. Alternative units will be absolutely new without any connections with the former ones. When creating appearance for our alternative units the team is tend to preserve the original unit style of the town. For example – the alternative unit of the [[Castle]] – [[Squire]] and his upgrade – [[Royal Guard]].

==other features==
*New map objects:It’s planned to add more map objects to extend player’s abilities and make the game more interesting.
*New artifacts: In the first three versions there are going to be released up to 150 new artifacts with unique qualities and appearance. To every [[artifact class]] (Treasure, Relic, etc) will be added equal number of new ones. Some artifacts will be part of new [[combination artifacts]]. You can see most of new artifacts on HotA screenshots.
*New spells: There will be 12 new spells in the first version.
*New terrain types: three new terrain types will be added in the first versions. Do not confuse them with terrain map objects (like the Cursed Land and Clouds etc)
*Commanders: For most players the idea of commanders is familiar. HotA will include them, but their general role in battle, their characteristics and their development will be changed completely. This innovation will be included in the 1.5 version

[[image:1-70-1-.gif|right|Cove commander]]

*The unit (stack) experience: this idea (from WoG) will be remade considering the terms of balance and gamplay. It will be included in the 2.0 version.
*Town Keepers: The player will be able to hire a new unique unit to protect his town. This unit will be only one for the player and will be used only while the siege of the towns. Will be included in the 1.0
*Ammunition: Each type of monsters will have the ammunition – some analogue for creatures’ artifacts. This feature will appear only in the 3.0 version.
*New siege machines: Each and every town both original and new ones will have their own siege machines. Now this machines are – the ballista, the first aid tent and the ammo cart. This addition will be optional and will appear in the 2.0 version.

For the complete list of new features (the list above) look up to the feature document which will be included to every new version of the add-on. Some info you will be able to find on our website.
==The team and support==
the team does not have any bosses, coordinators and other useless gradations and divisions in our team. All members have equal rights and duties. The project was organized by the group of friends and accomplices and has no commercial interest. The idea of the add-on was established in the 2007 but it’s active development started in 2008.
