HoMM III: Horn of the Abyss is an add-on made with the goal of resembling the original HoMM III expansions as closely as it is only possible when it comes to "gameplay, graphics, campaign story, music, sounds - down to the seemingly irrelevant things". Its creators didn't want to lose the spirit of the original game even in the slightest.
There is some really high-quality stuff in it -- HotA features a new pirate town, a new campaign, and tons of bug fixes and small improvements. It is even used during tournaments. HotA is available for free in English and in Russian.
DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION FROM HERE AND INSTALL IT ON UNMODIFIED HoMM III (NO WoG, ERA, ETC.)
HotA should also work through Wine on other operating systems than Windows.
