Back to the past! Playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3 with latest Horn of the Abyss on Linux or OS X!
Recently I've seen that there are championships in my favorite game from the childhood Heroes of Might and Magic 3, also I and my girlfriend are big fans of that game so why don't play it and feel like a child again, right?
The problem was that I'm not having a Windows machine... I have only the MacBook which runs on OS X and Thinkpad powered by Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and that was a time when I started reading and using a wine.
Almost precisely a year after launching the Mac conversion of Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia, 3DO has followed it up with the ‘Complete’ version of the game, which includes not only the full original game but also the two newer expansion packs from the PC: Armageddon’s Blade and The Shadow of Death.
Also... I found that there is a cool unofficial extension Horn of the Abyss built by fans. So why not try it as well?
Go to wine tutorial and install wine.
I used WineHQ packages commands and it worked without any issue.
Install wine on machine
This extension is required to run Horn of the Abyss.
Murdered by traitors, resurrected by Necromancers as an undead lich, Erathia's deceased king commands its neighboring enemies to seize his former kingdom. His progress is halted when his daughter Catherine, Queen of Enroth, returns to the shores of her homeland. In the service of Erathia, beset by enemies external and internal, you command the land's greates heroes and fiercest creatures, in Queen Catherine's war to restore her homeland, discover her father's killer and free him from the prison of his undead body.
