I found a new strategy wargame "Pennon and Battle" on Steam. It's surprising to see that there are still teams willing to make games similar to Heroes of Might and Magic III. It can't help but remind me of the good old days when I used to play H3.

They’re literally remaking HoMM 3 now.

Also the GoG version of classic HoMM3 is perfecty playable and has the complete edition with extensions.

Prefer this to the HD edition on Steam though, that one only contains base game and can't be modded.

Got a source for that? I'm not aware of anything like that

Not OP but you should check out VCMI project. It's finally got a 1.x release after some decade+ of work. Fixed castle limit issues of the originally to free up modding potential and they're making improvements to enemy AI.

Also works on Android.

a) That's not a remake, it's a separate game b) Please don't buy it, made by russian devs that have been funded by oligarchs with ties to the russian government
