Owing to my extreme HOMM fanaticism, I've launched we Mac gamers a dedicated HOMM•V Mac site:
http://hommv.utopos.net
Props to Rogue27 and all the great work he's done over the years at the MacHeroes sub-site at Celestial Heavens, but its starting to look a little aged. Mine uses Wordpress for ease of commenting, archiving, and easily facilitating multiple content contributors.
The site hopes to serve as a one-stop shop for all things HOMM•V Mac, and thus to help a strong community grow. We’ll keep track of the port, host patches and add-on files, collect the collective wisdom, advocate for an open-beta, digest the news from Ubisoft, and just generally enjoy the game. We also hope to have interviews with our "heroes" at Freeverse as well as feature articles on whatever interests the masses, including the crazy and exotic history of HOMM on the Mac platform.
HOMM•V for OSX is intended to be a collective effort, and will be better the more people contribute as commentators, authors, critics, map designers, reviewers, news hounds, and guide writers. Anything that isn’t pathetic or offensive will get its due. Hell, we’ll even post fan fiction if you’ll put your real name to it. We are also running a Release Date Pool competition for those who register on a first-come, first-serve basis. Hopefully we can arrange a unique prize for the winner, like a copy of the game signed by our heroes at Freeverse.
I'd appreciate a sticky on this to catch as many Mac gamers as possible, and to clear this forum of pestering Mac questions!

Off to a bang
Interview scoop!
The two people at Freeverse closest to the HOMM•V port at this point, Vice President Colin Smith and Director of Support/Game Designer Bruce Morrison, have graciously agreed to an interview by HOMM•V for OSX.
If you have any specific questions you’d like answered (and which are actually answerable at this point), drop them into the comments of the interview post at HOMM•V for OSX in the next day or two.

Interview with Freeverse
HOMM•V for OSX (http://hommv.utopos.net) is proud to present the first interview with Bruce Morrison and Colin Smith of Freeverse since they announced the Mac port. Bruce and Colin discuss how the port deal came about, who takes out the trash at Freeverse HQ, and reveal a love of all things HOMM strong enough to shame even a hardcore fan. For the full interview, visit HOMM•V for OSX (http://hommv.utopos.net).
