Well it has extent of dynamic lightning, but it wast as good as it wasnt as good as ut1. To sum up limitation i can quote one of coders from that project You can make dynamic light, BUT! They wont cast shadows, and they will shine trough surfaces! ... This means we can use create flares, but using l...

Tried russian version(only that is availiable) and can say I am really disappointed. Nival treated Homm brand MUCH better. First game is awfully bugged( can hope they will be more or less fixed till english version comes out). Some are quite game breaking like constant crashes(although after last pa...

Thats driving bit into offtopic but anyway.. But you're mistaken about no dynamic lighting - it is even possible to use that in Unreal Engine 1, which was released in 1998. Not really, thats one of differences that U1 engine had compared to U2. Lightning model was better for1998 year engine. I was b...

Since they didn't develop Lithtech, Even if they didn't, every developer who buy license to engine brings huge corrections into it to shape it under his needs. For example thief3 uses modified UT2k3/4 engine, but its really hard to recognize it underneath, even more considering Unreal tech 2 doesnt...

Unfortunately those 2 classes are generally considered as weakest ones in game. Minotaur like troll has unique paper doll, but his gameplay aspect leaves much to be desired since knight mostly beats him on every aspect. Vampire although many says he's useless i consider them quite good class,NWC cou...

Cant really agree on paladin weakness. 1st they have unique ability to get GM mace that can paralyze light magic immune monsters. 2. They have initial value for dark/light magic that is enough to get some of strongest spells in stock(paralysis, reanimate) 3) Not bad values for healing. Only downside...

On the countrary I find that heroes in HoMM 5 can really turn tide of battle due to their abilities. Sometimes I even wish that there would be option to sweep such dangerous figure from the board as hero like it was possible in HOMM4. Also their extensive skill wheels make each hero clase truly uniq...

Its bit sad that most fan made projects go down, sadly that's how it is, far from every mod that has solid tools make it to release, not to mention game from scratch. Some questions about MMT project if someone here can answer. How many engine switches it had undergone? I know that initially it had ...

Like mm7 it use same engine, only slightly modified. Also personally I see it as bit lower quality product than its predecessor and I would say that graphic wise mm8 it is bit worse than 7. For positive moments I can mention updated GUI and better map functionality. Game itself is rather easy an if ...

Quite hard to put answer in those 2 choices. Comparing to homm4 I think HOMMV made right choices by stepping back from heroes on battlefield and numerous other wrong choices made in mm4, even more in addition to poor quality of last NWC homm altogether. While comparing to Homm 3 i believe that ubi/n...

Default party is quite optimal for starting, and even more to think its pretty much almost best team. Only thing you can consider switching is knight, he dont have much special skills and you can replace him with archer/paladin/monk or whatever suits your needs. Rest 3 each have unique skills that r...

Only reason to consider druid in mm7 is his alchemist GM skill. But even then you can buy black pots in celeste/pit anyway and they are single use anyway.Only reason is to get 75 power black pots, but somehow i think its not worth it. As for haste and other pots, they are useful but sorc can mix pot...

I vote for cleric, although druid in mm6(unfortunatelly in mm7 they are too broken to even consider, specially taking in account necessity for GM level spells like prot from magic) can be pretty useful, but i would rather pass him , specially for first time game(especially because of 1st promo - you...

2 things that people already mentioned. Dispell pain reflection since its most annoying thing in their arsenal. And abuse paralysis that is REALLY cheap(both meanings(manawise and I personally consider that particular is spell borderline of cheating and tend to not use it)) like no tomorrow. Against...

As you started quest, you are accompanied by extra npc(two portraits in sidebar) in same way as in paladin promotion. If you already have two npc(regular ones) or ones from gnome, castle repair quest you might not see him and to scroll through them you must use |> button in right or left side of npc...
