Setup Instructions

(for version 0.8.1 beta)

To install, you will need clean Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Shadow of Death or Heroes Complete.

This means that no third-party modifications, including HotA, HD-mod, WoG, LoRD, MoP, ERA or any other, should not be in the game folder. The easiest way to create a separate directory for H3SW.

Attention: Heroes 3 HD-Edition from Ubisoft will NOT suit you!

  1. So, unpack the mod in the game directory of the appropriate version.
  2. Run h3sw.exe for the game and h3swmaped.exe for the map editor.

2. Next, in the tools folder created by ERA open Mod Manager folder and run 'modsmann.exe' to enable the mod.

3. You must disable all other mods apart from WoG which should be placed below 1 H2 Succession Wars Mod. Complete screenshot.
