Revision as of 04:43, 22 August 2025

This page contains unused content found in the game files. The Forge town was planned, but then scrapped earlier on in development. Also, see Cut content trivia for some little known facts!

Restoration of Erathia

Adventure Map Objects

You can still easily add these Adventure Map objects into your map editor. Map with this objects will work correctly even for players without these objects enabled. For SoD simply put this Objects.txt in your "data" directory or insert it in H3Bitmap.lod using Grayface's MMArchive. For HotA (1.6.1 and prior only, this will crash your editor on 1.7.0 and above) put this EdObjts.txt in your "data" directory or insert it in HotA.lod using Grayface's MMArchive. All unused objects can be found under "Towns" category.

Unused creatures

Sounds

Alternative spell effects and sounds

Morale and Luck values

In the game files, there are lines intended to show the hero's army's luck as a descriptive value, instead of a number (such as +1, or -3). The values for Morale were intended as follows: Treason (-3), Awful (-2), Poor (-1), Normal (0), Good (+1), Great (+2), and Blood! (+3). The values for Luck were intended to be Cursed (-3), Awful (-2), Bad (-1), Normal (0), Good (+1), Great (+2), and Irish (+3).

Building names

In the game files, alternative names for some of the Conflux creature dwellings are listed. They are as follows:

The Shadow of Death

Horn of the Abyss

The original concept for the airship was to have it tied to the Factory. Ultimately the decision was made to have airship yards only as map objects instead, cf. point #14 of this interview.
