The Heroes Round Table

Meh. It doesnt seem right at all for undead and mechanicial units to have rage or care for loss of allies life.

Heheh, now I know what to hold down when I play Hotseat

Poison arrows is probobly a special bow instead of a skill, it looks to me like ALL of the skills are listed. Notice the ads that say "Several Spells.." It looks like there are only 'several' spells.

I played the Demo and the game DOES look like crap, no HDR and it looks worse then HL2

I played it and I must say..... its really short, you find out there is a grand total of 6 spells in the game, 3 Melee skills, 3 Ranged skills and a few misc skills. The combat got boring before I finished the demo and the graphics look outdated, Half-Life 2 looks much better.

It wasnt that good at all, very short and the graphics are outdated and the combat gets boring in the demo.

You have to run it at a resolution smaller than your desktop resolution. It will run in windowed mode, but it won't show the windows menu bar at the top. You still have to press Alt+Tab to get to your other windows. Its not windowed mode though, its just not fullscreen. There is a huge difference. ...

Call me a noob, and I don't know if this will help, but I only recently discovered that if you press the "Windows" key on the keyboard, heroes is minimised and you have the desk top available. :S I find it ideal for msn / yahoo when the other person takes a while to answer, also for acces...

to, yep, you guessed it:

hey thanks, I hope its not too buggy!

Is it possible to run HoMM V in Windowed mode?

More unit Balance, as in Low teir Units shouldnt be useless.

Wrong completely the way I said it was "Unofficial" I didnt say brand new. This is bull-shit. Im not posting here or responding to this crap anymore. Which is not even relevant to my review which made no mention of these unofficial maps.

i would assume that he was talking about how there had always been a campaign editor in the series, not in Heroes 5. i comppletely disagree about the music. the music was absolutely great, cheers to the composers. there was one exception though - the tune after you end your turn and are waiting for...

As I recall tehre hasnt always been a HoMM V and therefor couldnt have always been a HoMM V Campaign Editor. The tools used by the developers to develop a game are not going to be included in the review, what nonsense.

Then exracted files take precedence over .paks no matter the date? hmmm...

I was surprised to learn that the AI is customized for each map. I've not been able to find out what settings there are, however. But this does imply that AI behavior is not a constant. I thought the MP maps didn't have any AI customizations ... are you indicating that even MP haps have AI scriptin...

I still miss the Might faction, which was non-magical.

There werent ANY team maps on release, which is aggrivating. Iv'e downloaded some unoffocial ones since then, but they do not count.

The map editor would have added Official moddability, which would have been a huge plus to me.
