+Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia Demo
+
+In Heroes III, you control the actions of heroes to complete mission
+objectives in a variety of conflicts taking place in the mythical land
+of Erathia. As heroes travel across the land with their armies, they can
+explore, seek artifacts, and find treasure, as well as lead their armies
+into battle. Towns can also have armies garrisoned for their defense and
+act as centers for recruitment, learning of magic spells and trading.
+Towns you conquer become part of your territory. You may develop your
+towns to provide yourself with offensive, defensive, and logistical
+advantages.
+
+This repackages the demo game data and makes it ready to use with the
+VCMI Heroes III engine that runs natively on Linux. The demo for Mac is
+used, since it is supposedly more complete than the one for Windows
+(which does not seem to work with VCMI). For more info, check this
+discussion:
+https://forum.vcmi.eu/t/support-for-demo-versions/1079/17
+
+The package installs the data system-wide and the game is playable and
+will give you an idea about how VCMI works, however there are graphics
+glitches and probably other problems. Consider buying the full game.
