Those who helped with this site that it would be as it is now are all there. You can read their names and see their portraits and even read some biographies.
The links to the sites I have visited on Internet and found interesting are on this page. If you didn't know about them before, I recommend you to check them out.
That was the first reason why it all started. Reviews, walkthroughs, analysis, strategy guides, beginner's manuals, advices, hints, tips, images, screenshots, reference material to Heroes of Might and Magic III & IV and to Might and Magic VI, VII, VIII and IX.

~ Towns' descriptions, reviews and histories with images of creatures and towns, everything you need to know about the towns in Heroes
~ other players' opinions (did you ever wonder how other players think, then read!)
~ Beginner's Manual for HoMM III (for those who just started, the advises how to have fun, not frustration from the game)
~ other player's Strategy Guides (words of wisdom about Heroes strategy from the 3DO Community members)
~ Heroes of MM History - all the history, all the events of the Heroes world, as well as 'Who is Who' section; everything you can read in leisure with a cup of hot (or strong) drink in hand (paw, claw, teeth, hoof, whatever you have) and not in anticipation of hard battles ahead and without headache where the hell find some extra sulfur to build the Dragon Cave!

Dragons are not only rich (by human standards), they are wise too. You ought to be to live thousands of years or you'd be killed by the first bunch of Dragon Slayers, okay, by the second, at the most.
That's why I have followed the example of my elders and compiled my own library.
Here you can find different things: wise and clever phrases and quotes, funny stuff, jokes and anecdotes, riddles. Something for every mood and every day. You'll find some jokes about characters from Heroes and Might and Magic.
Special place for fan fiction stories and poems.
The Library has been updating regularly in all sections, including new fan fiction works.
If you are a writer and would like
to submit your work, you are very welcomed. Your rights are always protected and respected here.
The second biggest part of the site that requires the special premises in my home. There are more than 1200 pictures.
As you probably know the Dragons are very fond of collecting fine, beautiful, precious and expensive things. Among other treasures I like to collect pictures, Dragons' & other creatures' images.
I think I have pretty good gallery of Dragons images here (360 pictures).
A lot of animated pictures and original screenshots from Might and Magic (400+ images).
Galleries of the wonderful fantasy artists - Anry, Larry Elmore and Kevin Palivec.
Special Fantasy pictures gallery (100+).
High quality wildlife photo gallery of big wildcats, bears and other magnificent animals.
The Gallery has been updating on the regular basis.
The site Ancient Home of Dragon was launched on the 5th of March, 2001 and republished on the 11th of May, 2002.

Last Update: 31st of August, 2007 with the new additions in:
Place of my self esteem, where the site awards are put on display. :)
Perhaps the best collection of the highest quality animated fantasy creatures on the web.
See for yourself: mages and sorcerers, dragons and wyverns, dwarves and elves, crusaders and monks, vampires and skeletons, liches and queen of the dead, centaurs and unicorns, manticores and minotaurs.
The list is going on... Some of them you have never seen and maybe even never heard of.
But better one time to see than thousand times to read.
All these great animated personages are moving in their natural environment - on screenshots from their world - Might and Magic PC games series.
Big collection of fire-related animations, candles, torches and fires.
and special page with Cool Animations.
Cool Malathar Dragon animations by Kevin Palivec.

Complete history of the site with all updates information.
Manual site submission to search engines and web directories. Reliable and high quaility service that I have used myself. Forget about automatic programs - they do not work, at least they didn't for me.
I recommend MCP Submission Service to all webmasters, who want to receive traffic from engines to their sites for sure.

The complete history of the site with all updates information. Even if you have missed some update you can always check what have happened on the site while you were away.
Hmmm... I must probably apologize for not doing that what I should have done a long time ago. Well... I apologize. During the nearest future, I will try to do an upgrade of the site and hopefully something of it you will find interesting.
