The project aims to complete the story of the Heroes III game by introducing elements tied to [[the Reckoning]] event, the cut [[Forge (NWC)|Forge]] content, and fill story gaps such as, for example, what [[Adelaide]] did during her stay in [[Vori]] or what happened between [[Dragon's Blood]] and [[Clash of the Dragons]]. In the spirit of the official expansions, it adds new features that both reference other ''Might and Magic'' elements and increase the depth of the gameplay, aiming to stay true to both the canon of the universe as well as the design philosophies of the game. The Forge-related elements are designed in consultation with Heroes III lead designer Gregory Fulton to stick as close as possible to the original concept and intent of the faction; including the ability to disable it outside of campaign maps. | The project aims to complete the story of the Heroes III game by introducing elements tied to [[the Reckoning]] event, the cut [[Forge (NWC)|Forge]] content, and fill story gaps such as, for example, what [[Adelaide]] did during her stay in [[Vori]] or what happened between [[Dragon's Blood]] and [[Clash of the Dragons]].

For example, a Palace town can produce either Nisse or Viking, but not both. Pre-existing factions also get alternative units, such as a dryad for Rampart or wood and metal elemental for Conflux. | ||
A few elements have been derived from previous works of members of the team, such as the Tides of War mod or some of the Mod Design Team towns. Any such element, however, has been reworked to fit better with the concept of the expansion. | A few elements have been derived from previous works of members of the team, such as the Tides of War mod or some of the Mod Design Team towns.
