In the Wake of Gods

In the Wake of Gods cover art.

In the Wake of Gods (or WoG) is a fan-made expansion for Heroes of Might and Magic III. It comes with improvements to the map editor, new creatures, and most importantly, Event Related Model (ERM) scripting. ERM scripting gives mapmakers the ability to change the function and appearance of any standard map object in the game; for example, a chest could be altered to give more gold/experience than usual, or an object could function as a creature bank. More complex scripts can also be written to create completely new objects or modify/enhance the rules of the game.

The mod requires The Shadow of Death or Heroes of Might and Magic III: Complete to run.
