It's not 100% polished, the maps aren't here for example. It's probably still a few weeks until final release (assuming everything goes fine with my intervention), but people can playtest it here and give me feedback. I'd say this release is about 95% complete (minus the maps).
1.1 Notes: Fixed a 1.0 accidental omission of 200 kb dll file that would prevent people without HD mod from launching the game
Install instructions: Just extract/copy the contents of the .rar into your Heroes IV Gold install folder. Reccommended GoG version. Launch with provided .exe
You will still be able to play vanilla H4 after install with their corresponding EXEs, this doesn't overwrite them.
Credits to: Verrokster for HD wrapper, Karmakeld for compiling object pack, Iliveinabox for H4 file packager, RoseKavalier for creature ability plugin, and of course the whole community for being there.
Note: There was a small fix of omitted file in 1.0. The bug would not allow people without HD wrapper to launch the game.
Now 1.1 has this fixed, and should work for all downloads.

Great work, looking forward to trying this! Perhaps a rather stupid and basic question, but the readme says that you should start the game with "H4_Ultimate"exe. However, I can not find that file or is that the same as "[patched]H4_Ultimate_cheats_IV.exe". Became a bit confused since I want to play without any cheats.
Keep up the good work!
Don't mind it, since it's a prerelease that is the exe available. But there aren't any passive cheats added, the cheats are just for playtesting. I actually ran a whole campaign without cheats. No creats are active by default even if you use that exe.
I try this! Really good work, honestly I was very surprised (especially with the new spells). 2 problem just
1. Really? The Leprechaun got the minotaur block ability? :D
2. The map editor often crash.
But besides these, I really like it!
Thanks to the author for giving me a brand new gaming experience.I have a question.Did you specially set the Dark champion as a morale creature?
It's not undead on purpose, since it doesn't look much undead (specially the horse). By the way, check new version here: Moddb.com
