The Heroes Round Table

King Imp... maybe she used to be a he

I disagree with your article. If you're going to argue against overt sexuality in games, you should do so from both sides, not just harp on the semi-naked females. Personally, it doesn't bother me that much and I think a lot of it fits into the fantasy-trope. There are many cultures in history who d...

I really like H5, but this is mostly because of the game mechanics and the new skill sets than for the graphics. In my opinion it lost something in the translation to 3D. I would have rather preferred a game in the style of Heroes 1-3 with luscious 2D graphics and well-developed game mechanics and s...

Does anyone know how to mod the starting skills of heroes so that it affects them globally without having to change it in each individual map. Also, does anyone know how to mod skill properties for the game?

Okay, I found a nice tutorial here, but... my dds files don't seem to work.

When the image is in the game, it just shows up as small little bitmap in the top left corner. Can anyone help?

Can anyone tell me what the specifics are for creating portraits for H5 and how to convert them to DDS?

Thanks!

Thanks!

PS: Now if I can only find a way to run the game in windowed mode...

YES!!! Thank you, you are a genius! I would kiss you, but you might not like that.

I don't have a clue who you are either but, er, welcome back. New maps are always welcome.

I agree Svea is probably the weakest of the heroes, since her special ability doesn't offer much of a boost. However, she's one of my favourites character-wise. It's a shame they didn't improve her ability. Maybe someone will mod her in the future.

Hey hey hey... nothing wrong with gay people! At least the Elves give us some representation.

Fantastic, thanks

I'm also looking for a mod like that... especially one that would make Maahir available

Thanks Pol!

Quite some time ago I downloaded a small program that could generate random maps for Heroes IV. But now for the life of me I can't seem to find it.

Does anyone know where I can get a hold of this again?

Thanks,

Thanks for the info, Nelgirith. At this stage I'm only looking to customize heroes on a specific map, but the only way I can find to edit heroes is to add them to the Reserved List. I'm not sure where to look to edit the "normal" heroes in the game that are available to hire through taverns and sele...

Does anyone have any tips for adding hero portraits to the Heroes 5 editor? For example, what's the correct image size and file format (the editor asks for a *.tga file, but I read somewhere about a *.dds file?). Also, how do you edit the heroes in the map so that the edited heroes appear in the her...

HoMM 5 Gold Edition: This isn't a major bug as such, but thought I'd mention it anyway. Everytime you enter a town, the town music starts from the beginning instead of continuing on where it left off (as it does in H3 & H4, and with other music in the game). I'm not sure if the previous version ...

Thank you Pol! You are a genius

PS: Do you know what difference gender makes in the game? For instance, in the map editor you can change a character's gender (male or female), but what difference does it actually make inside the game?
