Welcome to the most comprehensive guide to Heroes of Might & Magic III! If you've read IGN's guide, or any of the other contributor's to this site, you'll notice they lack one vital item necessary for a FAQ. Wondering what that is? An actual _walkthrough_ for the game! And, since Heroes of Might & Magic III is one of the hardest games out there, I figured I'd write one. And please forgive the size of this guide, because it is necessary. When this guide is finally finished, it will be the biggest (or at least close to it) Walkthrough on GameFAQs!
And, as some may doubt, yes, I _did_ type and gather all of this information all by myself. I only used cheap cut-and-pasting techniques on certain parts, like making and remaking the charts for the Creature Guide and the Spell Book section. Also, another interesting thing about this FAQ, is that it's spawned six other FAQs so far out of certain sections of it (all my Spell Guides and Creatures Guides). So, enjoy.
Note: Sorry about barely finishing the first Scenario of the first Campaign of the first game, but tomorrow I'm getting a new comp and I just need t submit this as it is...there goes any FOTW chances...sorry.

My two cents: I originally intended on finishing the "Long Live the Queen" Walkthrough and
THEN submitting Version 1.00, but tomorrow I'm getting a new computer and getting rid of this one. Soooooo, once this one is gone, this file will be lost and I'll need it saved somewhere, and what better place than GameFAQs? So, again, I apologize for the abrupt ending to the
Walkthrough, but I _promise_ I will finish them all...someday.
