Redshrike: Everyday we ask our students to re-write same algorithms that have been solved by proven methods. All they do is to write the same algorithm again. Its plagiarism if they copy the code from somewhere, not when they model their program after another.
@Botanic: In the source image, the only copyrightable part is the drawing itself. Not the layout nor the building models. The new image only uses similar layout and similar buildings, however, nothing is copied, ie. no copyrights are infringed. However, the name Heroes of Might and Magic is the trade mark of Ubisoft. Therefore, endorsing your own work as a replacement for the art in question is a trademark infringement.
@redshrike: notice that everything is not copyrightable. A simple and generic town layout (which he modified slightly) will not be a problem. Also, to make sure, author can scramble the locations of the buildings. After all they are in separate layers.
Apart from the layout nothing seems quite similar to homm. I think it won't be problem. However as qubodup stated, homm is a trademark and Ubisoft will not like what happens here. For fan art, you cannot do more than hanging it on your wall. Rest is not fair use, thus fan art is not usable in games.

+1 from me, I have started downloading it too.
Awesome. Some powerups that will be great.
These are amazing, still I would like to have larger ones as well (to serve as titles).
Where were you during the LPC? Great job.
wow, now all we need is female armor, then Trouble in Libreland can have female wariors.
