[edit] No longer stub

I have rewritten the article, adding a lot of information about the major features of the expansion, so I think that the stub status can now be revoked. Aegicen 13:16, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No forge?

I notice there's no forge/controversies part here yet... I guess it might be relevant here. Unfortunatly my knowledge of the Forge is limited to "there is one". Reynaert-ad 21:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Basically, the original idea was to tie the first HOMM3 expansion to the M&M series' cosmic forge, which created science fiction artifacts in a fantasy world. So, this expansion was to include a "Forge town", where the creatures would be armed with science fiction hardware, like jet packs and ray guns. However, the concept art that was released showed some World War II-looking elements, as well as see-through clothing on the female characters. So, a couple of fan sites threatened a boycot as soon as they saw the artwork, NWC quickly backed down, and the entire premise of the expansion was changed. Erathian 22:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
