Editing Talk:Expansions

Should we move the info on fan-mods to a "Mods" page instead?  Those projects (at least, the ones listed currently) aren't really "expanding" the game so much as fixing bugs and stuff.  Alternately, perhaps each could merit its own page, and the "Mods" page could have an overview and point to the detail pages.  [[User:Memetics|Memetics]] 07:16, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

AB indeed cannot be installed without RoE. ("Setup could not find a previous version of Heroes of Might and Magic(TM) III on this system. Please reinstall Heroes III and try again."). the fact is mentioned on the [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1aic0f7241f29ur/AACWNDCdRF25vEkZP2AHgBZJa/HoMM%20III/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%BA%D0%B8%2C%20%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D1%8B%20%D0%B8%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE-%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8B/Armageddon's%20Blade?dl=0&preview=34650-heroes-of-might-and-magic-iii-armageddon-s-blade-windows-front-cover.jpg&subfolder_nav_tracking=1 game cover] (''"Requires original best-selling Heroes of Might and Magic III"'') and that's the reason why [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1aic0f7241f29ur/AACbQ6Stv-O2gYJ371gtPij1a/HoMM%20III/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%BA%D0%B8%2C%20%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D1%8B%20%D0%B8%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE-%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8B/HoMM%20III%20Double%20Pack%20(RoE%2BAB)?dl=0&subfolder_nav_tracking=1 RoE/AB double packs] exist.

but SoD doesnt need any previous version to be installed.
