{{about|'''Horn of the Abyss''' is an unofficial expansion on the same level as {{ab}} and {{sod}}.}} [[File:Horn of the Abyss.png|frame|right]] '''Horn of the Abyss''' (or '''HotA''') is a comprehensive fan-made mod for ''Heroes of Might and Magic III'', designed to continue classical ''Heroes III'' add-on series of [[Restoration of Erathia|RoE]]/[[Armageddon's Blade|AB]]/[[Shadow of Death|SoD]]. The aim of the project is to create an add-on for Heroes III with lots of new features, but stay true to the formula and vision of the original game. The main focus is the quality of every single aspect of the modded game. This includes the careful fixes of the original game balance, removal of the graphical imperfections left by the developers, and a considerable amount of new content, like new campaigns, new map objects and new playable factions. The project is lore-oriented and attempts to keep connected with the original ''Might and Magic'' universe. Unlike [[In the Wake of Gods]]-based mods, Horn of the Abyss' new towns are added to the game without replacing any existing towns. The mod requires ''[[Shadow of Death]]'' or ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete]]'' to run. == Features == ;New towns * [[Cove]] * [[Factory]] ;New terrain types * [[Highlands]] * [[Wasteland]] ;New creatures * Cove ** {{Cn|Nymph|noname=}}{{Cn|Oceanid|name=Nymph and Oceanid}} ** {{Cn|Crew Mate|noname=}}{{Cn|Seaman|name=Crew Mate and Seaman}} ** {{Cn|Pirate|noname=}}{{Cn|Corsair|noname=}}{{Cn|Sea Dog|name=Pirate, Corsair, and Sea Dog}} ** {{Cn|Stormbird|noname=}}{{Cn|Ayssid|name=Stormbird and Ayssid}} ** {{Cn|Sea Witch|noname=}}{{Cn|Sorceress|name=Sea Witch and Sorceress}} ** {{Cn|Nix|noname=}}{{Cn|Nix Warrior|name=Nix and Nix Warrior}} ** {{Cn|Sea Serpent|noname=}}{{Cn|Haspid|name=Sea Serpent and Haspid}} Pirates can be upgraded twice, similar to Green Dragons in ''Heroes II''. * Factory ** {{Cn|Halfling (Factory)|noname=}}{{Cn|Halfling Grenadier|name=Halfling and Halfling Grenadier}} ** {{Cn|Mechanic|noname=}}{{Cn|Engineer|name=Mechanic and Engineer}} ** {{Cn|Armadillo|noname=}}{{Cn|Bellwether Armadillo|name=Armadillo and Bellwether Armadillo}} ** {{Cn|Automaton|noname=}}{{Cn|Sentinel Automaton|name=Automaton and Sentinel Automaton}} ** {{Cn|Sandworm|noname=}}{{Cn|Olgoi-Khorkhoi|name=Sandworm and Olgoi-Khorkhoi}} ** {{Cn|Gunslinger|noname=}}{{Cn|Bounty Hunter|name=Gunslinger and Bounty Hunter}} ** {{Cn|Dreadnought|noname=}}{{Cn|Juggernaut|name=Dreadnought and Juggernaut}} ** {{Cn|Couatl|noname=}}{{Cn|Crimson Couatl|name=Couatl and Crimson Couatl}} Factory has access to two tier 7 creatures, both of which can be built in the same town. * Neutral ** {{Cn|Leprechaun|name=Leprechaun}} ** {{Cn|Satyr|name=Satyr}} ** {{Cn|Steel Golem|name=Steel Golem}} ** {{Cn|Fangarm|name=Fangarm}} ;Secondary skills * Balance changes to [[Estates]], [[Intelligence]], [[Logistics]], [[Mysticism]], [[Necromancy]], [[Scouting]], and [[First Aid]]. * [[Resistance]] is disabled by default. * New skill: [[Interference]]. {{campaign navigational box|hota=expandex|underthejollyroger=expanded|terroroftheseas=expanded|hornoftheabyss=expanded}} ; New [[campaigns]] * [[Under the Jolly Roger]] * [[Terror of the Seas]] * [[Horn of the Abyss (campaign)|Horn of the Abyss]] * [[Forged in Fire]] ;New heroes * Cove heroes - the [[Captain]] (might) and [[Navigator]] (magic) * Factory heroes - the [[Mercenary]] (might) and [[Artificer]] (magic) * {{h|Beatrice|0=the Knight}} * {{h|Giselle|0=the Ranger}} * {{h|Ranloo|0=the Death Knight}} * {{h|Kinkeria|0=the Witch}} * Heroes with [[Navigation]] specialty are disabled on maps without water and replaced with new heroes. * [[Galthran]], [[Sir Mullich]], and [[Thorgrim]] are disabled by default. * [[Lord Haart]] has been re-enabled by default.
