      Hi! One of the creators here ;)
      Thank you so much for giving the attention to our mod, it means so much to us ❤
      About the port, well, the "port" is not the word I would use :D As it would be undoubtedly incredible, because TW3 is much more gamer-friendly installment, it would unfortunately mean doing nearly everything from scratch, including rewriting scenario to match TW3's capabilities. The exploration is different, so levels would had to be reworked. Scenes would have to be made and directed from scratch, also by using some new stuff TW3 offers. Some things are made using TW2 stuff that no longer is present in TW3, so this too would have to be taken care of. A couple years of additional work :D Not possible.
      But! I can promise you the Enhanced Edition we are making will have not only Polish voiceover and new content, but it will look much, much better than the previous version. I hope you will like what we are cooking for you ;)
