Being a packer fan, I am feeling not so bad about the loss at lambeau 2 weeks ago.... That was one of the most memorable Super Bowls that I have witnessed. The Giants DLine was the real MVP (taking nothing away from Manning who had an excellent game as well)... Was the superbowl party I was at the o...

The Ranger - The Defense

Here is another way (granted on Normal). I didn't develop light magic so, but I did develop summoning magic. I took the first two towns and swung to the East. I then summoned everything that I had in the original town to defeat the first Garrison. I fed back mana to indan during the battle with the ...

the topdown mod http://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2226 here works real well for the underground. My problem with this map was I made a mouse error at the end - I went where I did not intend to and had to replay the whole dang map (autosave is way too slow). Save the game when yo...

I captured all of the above ground except for the final Castle first. The main hero never left that castle. I then proceeded to capture the underground and fulfill secondary obejctives. I used mixed army of Elven/Inferno for the final battle. I absolutely hated this map because of the grahics/camera...

anyone else have problems with radeon 9700pro GPU? I swapped out the 9700pro for the old radeon 9200 that came with the system in 03. Sure enough it works now. What I don't know is if there is an issue with the radeon 9700pro or MY 9700pro. I do have a boosted power supply and the card does have an...

I got a reply, but it was a canned totally useless reply. The reply never recognized the fact the HOMM V runs fine with an ati radeon 9200, but not a radeon 9700pro in the same system with all other components and software exactly the same (a simple video card swap). I knew it was a useless reply wh...

what's really silly is that even if there is not a US complete version, why we can't get the UK version through normal channels. I was running the UK version of HOMM IV. In fact anybody who bought the MAD version of HOMM IV was probably running the UK version.....

will let you know if I get a response. I can live with support for that card coming at a later date, since I play fine with the 9200. I would crank up the graphic quality with the 9700pro though.... It would be nice to be able to warn others if that is indeed a problem card....
