Like Heroes 3; Players Loved Fan-made Maps for Songs of Conquest

Fan-made maps for Songs of Conquest are very popular. In three months they have already been downloaded a quarter of a million times.

When the level editor was first presented for Songs of Conquest we predicted that the mods developed with it would enjoy great popularity. The latest reports show that we were right.

  1. Lavapotion boasted, that fan-made maps for Songs of Conquest have already been downloaded more than 250,000 times.
  2. This result was achieved in three months since the release of the editor.
  3. Mods for Songs of Conquest can be downloaded from the official website with fanworks, organized as part of mod.io.
  4. At the time of writing this news, 226 modifications are available on the aforementioned website. Most of them are maps for multiplayer, but 71 levels are designed for solo play against the artificial intelligence.

The popularity of the map editor is not surprising. Songs of Conquest is modeled on Heroes of Might and Magic II and Heroes of Might and Magic III, and both of these games, despite their age, continue to receive new mods.
