Allows
you to select one of your creatures to act as a Henchman and fight with your
army. Left-click on player-color flag in upper right corner of hero screen to
select a new henchman or check status.
Henchmen gain experience for each battle fought and gain levels (indicated by
increased stack quantity). They have an experience bonus based on hero level
and current day. Lower level/un-upgraded creatures level up faster than higher
level/upgraded creatures. Dead henchmen can be resurrected in a town for a fee
based on creature cost and level. AI heroes have a (good) chance of having a
henchman of random level (based on hero level)
- henchmen gain +1 attack, +1 defense, +1 speed
- henchmen gain an additional +1 speed for every 10 levels
- henchmen gain an additional +1 attack and +1 defense for every 3 levels
- henchmen gain +2-5 to base damage
- henchmen gain +10 to base health

50 - Enhanced Monsters
Many
monsters have statistics changed and rebalanced and new abilities added. Most
modified stats have been boosted, although a few are lowered (Phoenix growth
for example). New abilities and stat changes are noted in each creature's
Special Abilities text box and are denoted in "yellow".
Key to abbreviations:
HP = health
AT = attack
DE = defense
DL = damage low
DH = damage high
SP = speed
SH = shots
L = level
"+" indicates that the stat is raised, "-" that it is
lowered
Many creatures are given latent spell defenses.
Many creatures are given special attacks. (usually with no retaliation)
Most neutral creatures are given strong boosts.
*note:
skill and ability descriptions in commander screen will be inaccurate, please

the following: Schools of War
Script
53 - Dungeon of the Dragon Master
All Dragon Utopias on a map are now guarded by Darkness Dragons. If the
"Hero's upgraded level 7 creatures become level 8" map rule is

Script
56 - Metamorphs
When enabled, Earth Messengers become Metamorphs. Metamorphs randomly transform
themselves in combat into other monster types just prior to their first action.
The new type is random but the Metamorph stack's total health will not exceed
the total health of the creature they turn into.
A Metamorph stack will also transform when it kills an enemy stack on its turn
(but not if it kills the enemy stack with a retaliation attack). After combat,
the remaining Metamorphs will change back into their normal Metamorph state.
Script
57 - Neutral Units
Several
enhancements for neutral units. they all can be individually
activated/deactivated in the WoGify menu.
*** Neutral Unit Bonuses
Adds +1 Attack, +1 Defense, plus an additional +1 Attack, +1 Defense, and
+6-6.99% Health for every 4 game days. This results in approximately +2 Attack,
+2 Defense and +10.5-12.25% Health every week, but note that the Health bonus
only applies to creatures with a starting Health of 15 or higher (also, all
units that will reach 15 health will receive approximately +2 Attack, +2
Defense and +10.5-12.25% Health every week; e.g.: centaurs, pikemen).
Also gives Bless to all neutral units each week. In addition, neutral shooting
units will be enchanted with Precision.
The following neutral units will also be enchanted with Magic Mirror: Genies,
Master Genies, Efreeti, Efreet Sultans, Ogre Magi and Santa Gremlins.
The following neutral units will also be enchanted with Air Shield: Skeletons,
Skeleton Warriors, Air Elementals, Storm Elementals, Wights, Wraiths, Ghosts,
Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons.
The following neutral units will also be enchanted with Fire Shield: Fire
Elementals, Energy Elementals, Firebirds and Phoenixes.
The following neutral units will gain immunity to Mind spells: Angels,
Archangels, Supreme Archangels, Devils, Arch Devils, Antichrists, Behemoths,
Ancient Behemoths, Ghost Behemoths, Hydras, Chaos Hydras, Hell Hydras.
The following neutral units will gain immunity to Fire school spells: Devils,
Arch Devils, Antichrists.
A "neutral unit" is defined as a monster stack on the map or any
other unowned monster that you do battle with when visiting an adventure map
site or neutral town.
*** Neutral Stack Size
All neutral monster stacks on the adventure map will be adjusted so that they
contain more creatures.
Starting with more creatures will also effectively result in them growing
faster, although the actual weekly rate of growth remains unchanged.
Formula is:
Level 1 Units: 30-50 +10% per week
Level 2 Units: 30-40 +10% per week
Level 3 Units: 30-50 +10% per week
Level 4 Units: 50 + 10% per week
Level 5 Units: +50 + 10% per week
Level 6 Units: 50 + 10% per week
Level 7 Units: 20-30 + 10% per week
Level 8 Units: +20 + 10% per week
*** Neutral Stack Experience
Neutral units will be experienced when you do combat with them. Their rank will
depend on their level, the game date and the player difficulty level chosen.
Level 1 and 2 neutral units will have one rank of experience for every week of
game play at Normal game difficulty. Level 3-4 units will have one rank for
every two weeks, level 5-6 will have one rank for every three weeks, and level
7+ will have one rank for every four weeks.
Higher game difficulties will increase the rate. For example, at Impossible
difficulty, a level 7 unit will have one rank for every 12 game days.
Easy difficulty doubles the interval of Normal difficulty, so neutral units
will gain ranks considerably slower.
However, regardless of the game date or level, neutral units will never be more
than 1 rank higher than the attacking hero's level. So a level 1 hero will
never face anything higher than a rank 2 neutral unit in combat.
A "neutral unit" is defined as a monster stack on the map or any
other unowned monster that you do battle with when visiting an adventure map
site.
*** Neutral Town and Creature Bank Growth
Neutral Town Guards grow by 10% each week per stack (minimum +1), and gain
higher level creatures if an empty guard slot is available. There's also a 10%
chance per stack each week that a guard stack will be upgraded.
Neutral Creature banks also grow by 10% each week per stack (minimum +1), and
empty slots will be soon be filled with additional creatures. Creature Banks
also acquire a Commander of the associated town type, and their resources grow
at a rate of 10% every 3 weeks (minimum +1).
After 28 days, a defeated Creature Bank will respawn, but beware--sometimes the
creatures are more powerful than before (especially Dragon Utopias!).
Script
58 - Scouting III - Espionage
This option
gives heroes who know the scouting skill the ability to train spies. Spies can
then infiltrate enemy towns where they can fulfill different operations
(thefts, sabotage, assassinations, status report), or they can be sent to the
owner's towns to protect them from enemy spies (higher chance of enemy spies
being exposed). Assignments depend on the level of scouting. Each hero can have
only one spy at a time. Computer players cannot use spies.
To give commands to your operatives, right-click on the Scouting *icon* in the
hero screen.
Script
59 - Piercing Shot
This
option changes the special ability of the Marksmen from "shooting
twice" to "piercing shot". This shot does half damage to an
enemy stack behind the targeted stack. In addition, Marksmen gain +1 attack, +1
defense, reduce their target's defense by 3+20%, and do 2-5 damage, however
their shots is reduced to 12. An Air Shield spell on the primary target
neutralizes the piercing bolt.
Also, the name of Archers is changed to Crossbowmen and their ranged attack
reduces the target's Defense by 10% (minimum reduction of 1).
Script
60 - Forgotten Shrine
When praying at
the altar in the Forgotten Shrine, the hero's troops receive a random
beneficial spell applied to all friendly stacks at expert level for 50 turns in
the next battle (even non-group spells are applied to all). The hero's movement
points are reduced to 0 after a visit. Every hero can have only one blessing at
a time.
If object replacement is selected, Forgotten Shrines may replace some of the
following: Shrines of Magic Gesture, Shrines of Magic Thought and Idols of
Fortune
Script
61 - Enhanced Protection From the Elements
The
Protection from Fire, Protection from Air, Protection from Water and Protection
from Earth spells give protection against non-damage spells (like Slow, Curse,
etc.). The chance of resisting such a spell depends on your proficiency at the
element your troops are protected from (i.e., your Air, Earth, Fire or Water
Magic skill level)
* None - 20%
* Basic - 33%
* Advanced or Expert - 50%
Note: The protection works for non-group spells only.
Script
62 - Split Decision
During
combat, an army commanded by a hero may split a stack into two stacks by
ctrl-clicking on the active stack. Each stack may only be split once per
combat. War Machines, Metamorphs and creatures that join a battle after it has
started (e.g., summoned Elementals) cannot be split. After the battle, split
stacks will recombine.
You may also combine two adjacent stacks of the same type during combat by
ctrl-clicking on the adjacent stack on the acting stack's turn.
Script
63 - Passable Terrain
With
this option enabled, mountains, trees, flowers and most other terrain can be
moved through, but at a slower rate than normal movement. Pathfinding reduces
the cost of moving through these terrain obstacles.
There are dangers, however. When moving through trees, you may be ambushed.
When moving through mountains, you may lose troops to a deadly landslide.
Skills such as Pathfinding, Scouting and Luck can help avoid landslides, and
Scouting will sometimes let you spot an ambush in advance.
In addition, to prevent heroes from sneaking up and grabbing treasures from
monsters *too* easily, the monsters on the map will now attack if any treasure
they're adjacent to is picked up, even if that wouldn't normally have triggered
a combat. Treasures include treasure chests, resource piles, artifacts, and
camp fires.
WARNING: this option significantly changes the way Heroes plays so be prepared
for a very different game. Take care where you move; the pathfinder will
indicate the shortest route, even through trees and mountains, but doesn't know
you'll be moving slower.
Script
64 - Scriptlets
Several
small scripts that can be turned on/off individually in the WoGify menu. They
mostly enhance certain elements.
*** Transfer Owner
Enables ownership transference of own heroes, towns, mines, dwellings,
lighthouses, shipyards and garrisons to any active color, incl. none.
Right-click on chat bar to activate/deactivate, then right-click on a flagged
object you own.
*** Rampart Faerie Dragon
All Ramparts exchange their lvl 7 dragons for:
1 Faerie Dragon per week (instead of 2 Green Dragons)
1 Diamond Dragon per week (instead of 2 Gold Dragons)
*** Reduced Conflux Firebird/Phoenix Growth
If Castle and Pyre built, Conflux only produces 3 Firebirds/Phoenix per week
(instead of 4).
Note 1: The bottom-left picture in the town screen will still indicate standard
growth, as will the castle screen.
Note 2: If Enhanced Monsters is also active, this option will reduce
Firebird/Phoenix Growth to only one per week.
*** Advanced Witch Huts
Heroes can refuse the skill offer or get it advanced for 3000 gold or even
forget that skill altogether.
*** Estates Enhanced II
Gives further
25/50/100 Gold per 10,000 experience each day (max +2000 gold/day, lvl 25) and
gives out additional resources depending on skill expertise and hero level.
Lvl 10+ hero with Expert Estates might even choose resource type. Click on
skill description *and* on skill icon in hero screen to get further details.
*** First Aid Enhanced II
The First Aid
skill summons and gives control over additional First Aid Tents (# of tents =
hero level). It also casts an automatic Cure spell each healing, based on First
Aid Expertise and number of Tents.
First Aid Specialty temporarily gives hero knowledge of Cure, Animate Dead and
Resurrection spells each battle.
*** Warfare (Artillery/Ballistics/First Aid)
Combines the three war machines skills Artillery, Ballistics and First Aid into
a single "Warfare" skill.
Gives hero control over all three war machines and standard SoD abilities from
all three skills. Advancing one skill will advance the others.
Careful: will become insanely powerful if you simultaneously use other WoGify
enhancements for those skills.
Script
65 - Monolith Toll
Normally
with two-way liths there is no cost for quite high reward: to be able to visit
many areas of the map and gain access to non-guarded items and map locations.
It seems to make sense to have some sort of cost for using two-way liths, even
if not extravagant. One-way liths will continue to be free, as they are not
susceptible to being used over and over again like two-way liths are.
The cost to use a two-way lith is 100 gold per week for human players and 50
gold per week for AI players, but if the AI has no gold, it will still be able
to use the lith.
Script
66 - Commander Witch Huts
Witch Huts will give bonus skills and abilities to Commanders as well as to the
Hero.
Script
67 - Neutral Town
Conflux
Town troops are replaced with a selection of neutral creatures. Also, Conflux
Heroes will have low-level neutral troops instead of regular Conflux troops and
the might Conflux Heroes have new specialties.
Note: creature growth and costs of some of the Neutral Town creatures have been
adjusted to better fit their new levels. Fire and Air Messengers have adjusted
stats and gain the double-strike ability. Air Messengers can also fly.
Script
68 - New Battlefields
New
Battleground pictures will often be used in combat. This has no affect on the
battles but adds some visual variety.
Note: new PCX files are required for this script. If you have the script but
not the graphics, you won't see new battlefields.
Script
69 - Custom Alliances
You
may set custom alliances before the first turn.
Script
70 - Death Chamber
Death Chambers are a new type of creature bank where you must fight the Undead
King and his minions.
If object replacement is selected, Death Chambers may replace some of the
following: Level 1 Magic Shrines, Learning Stones, Witch Huts, Windmills
Script
71 - Enhanced Artifacts
Caution:
If you also enable Artifact Boost, some artifacts will gain two bonuses and may
become too powerful.
Any spells cast are at Basic level and some of the artifacts have been
re-classed.
Pendant Of Life gives living troops HP based on level {Major}
Pendant Of Death gives undead +5 Att/Def +1 Spd {Major}

The Vestments of Authority: aggression is reduced by 1
Ring of Life {Treasure}

*** Enhanced Commander Artifacts
Commander artifacts can be worn by heroes granting two random abilities (as
well as functioning normally).
+1 to +5 Primary Stat bonus (1, 2, or all 4 stats depending on artifact type).
Add one rank to a random secondary skill (if this puts you at expert, the bonus
is permanent).
Script
72 - Random Hero
There is a 25% chance that a random
hero will appear on the monsters' side and help them fight. If the Enhanced War
Machines III script is enabled, the number of war machines of the random hero
depends on the strength of the monsters.
Script 73 - Enhanced War Machines
III
Every hero can carry more than one
war machine. War machines can be obtained from towns and war machine factories.
With the first aid tent the player can resurrect creatures if their stack on
the battlefield is not completely killed. The ammo cart gives spell points each
round equal to the number of ammo carts the hero owns.
Script 74 - Summon Elementals
Heroes can summon elementals
permanently for their army (when not in combat) if the hero knows the
corresponding spell and has enough spell points to cast the spell. The spell
points required for spell casting is ten times more than it would be on the
battlefield, but the number of elementals remains the same. Summoning is
allowed only once per day.
To summon elementals permanently in the adventure screen, select the hero and
right-click on the Spell Book icon.
Script 75 - Abbreviated Skill
Descriptions
Abbreviated skill descriptions will
be displayed when right-clicking on secondary skills.
This option is for players who prefer to view abbreviated descriptions instead
of the standard Heroes 3 paragraph-format descriptions. It's especially useful
if you have multiple skill enhancements enabled; the standard paragraph text
can be quite long and cumbersome.
Script 76 - Commander Sanctuary
The Sanctuary will revive a dead Commander for a small resource donation.
If object replacement is selected, Sanctuaries may replace some of the
following: Imp Caches, Griffin Conservatories, Rally Flags, Prisons, Marletto
Towers
