The Heroes Round Table

I've been waiting on Heroes V (Civ IV helps make me patient). Yesterday I almost bought it, since it's down to $30. Then I remembered how disappointed I was after buying HoMM IV, with its narcoleptic AI, and I figured I should do some research on HoMM V forums first. I guess it's a good thing I did...

The 4x4 format is a nice addition imo to the heroes series...

It makes unit placement and obstacles more strategic..... (EX: filling the hole in your castle walls with your hydras....)

Then where can I send the medic's bill to cure my incoming carphal tunnel syndrome?? Ubival's office??

Im playing "A island of one own" and Ive learned expert dark magic and the frenzy spell. In the most updated manual version it is stated that the frenzy spell cant be "cleansed"...yet an AI hero DID cleansed it... what is this? AI cheating?? Or this undispellable feature is HOF o...

Guys....you are going a bit off topic... My request isnt about having a super-smart AI that can compete with human brains...... I think that a Homm3 like AI would be already perfect (man, homm3 adventure map AI was wicked) The problem is the following: Will the ToE AI take DECENT times to make their...

I have 1024 mb of ram which is MORE THAN ENOUGH to run this game as I can run much better games (about graphics and AI) perfectly. Thi issue must be fixed in ToE. Lets make a petion like when we delayed the game's release. Angelspit...you have great influence over the community and muadib...coud you...

lol this is getting worse...the AI is taking 3-4 minutes to take decisions!!!

also, it seems that my computer gets extremely stressed, in fact after these awful loading times if I try to exit the game it takes around 1 minute to show the desktop....

Is this issue caused only by that map, or its the standard AI behavior??

I dont care even if they add 6 brand new towns if the adventure map AI will be same of the vanilla game. No complaints to the battle AI, its good enough. Example: After finishing the H5 campaign (a real pain in the arse, due to endless bugs, scripted huge armies and laughable cutscenes) I decided to...

A tear for Ossir. I defeated all enemies....and I followed the signposti n the right order unitl I came a signpost whose cutscene told: take 2 steps back... I think I visited all the signposts and got only stupid messages..... Am I missing something? I think that there are: ON THE WEST SECTION: 1 si...

Fist of Wrath works on them. IMO that is the reason why they had to do this. But Fist does no magical damage. It is long since i played last time, but isn't it even told in description that it does physical damage? In fact, ghosts can trigger their "miss" ability when its cast on them...

Nice...finally we get a straight dragon.

Stocking are bit...odd in a fantasy enviroment, but I can live with that....


also, its nice to see that they are real alternatives to the old units...

Ubi must really kick nival arse for this stuff. I was checking IN-GAME the various creatures' abilities. I found out too many ridicolous things.... Best Example: Black Dragon: IMMUNE TO ALL MAGIC followed by Immune to slow, immune to blind, immune to earth, immune to ice etc.... Cant this stuff be f...

To Angelspit and the other having issues with performances:

Use the graphic tweaker and disable some unnecessay stuff like shadows and lightmap stuff.

The game will look identical...only 4x faster.

How can I see how much dark energy does my necro have??

Im about to start the last campaign of HommV, the Academy one...should I patch to 1.5 before starting???
Or this will bring game screwing up, bugs and other assorted issues?

Thanks!

Ironically, the campaign hero themes are the best, expecially compared to the dull terrain themed songs....

I think that we need to put this under attention...

mosty when you play with that character

Therefore they are wasted since I will never play again the campaign...I will play scenarios and multiplayer maps....

Shouldnt this be "fixed"??

All this hommV bashing is unnecessary...it has its share of problems....but it NEVER crashed on my machine.

I noticed in trhe game folder that there are LOTS of music which are used only in too much specific condition...

For example, the Godric or Isabel theme...which are great....

Arent these themes heard in any other occasions? If not, then its a waste.
