The PC as a Gaming Platform
Not to rain on your parade or anything but those PC specs are not really all that up to date. That is not much better than what I am running, mostly due to the video card. The CPU is certainly a bit better than mine but my video card is definitely a step or two above. To be honest, the 8500 series w...

The PC as a Gaming Platform
the PC gaming section at Walmart is ignored by customers because: A. - it sucks B. - people shop at other stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Gamestop, or online for gaming related stuff rather than at Walmart Also the notion that you have to spend $2000 for a great gaming computer is utter...

The PC as a Gaming Platform
LordErtz, what hardware do you have in your PC that Heroes 5 doesn't run well? I mean I have an older system and it runs reasonably well for me, and also the game never crashes, so I dunno but it sounds like something might be wrong with your computer. I've worked as a PC repair technician as well a...

The PC as a Gaming Platform
PC gaming isn't going anywhere. To be fair, I'm not really into consoles much anymore but one thing that the PC platform has always done better and perhaps always will has been multiplayer. Not only is it generally implemented better but there are other "perks" of the platform, such as mul...

Spin the Skill Wheel Again
val-gaav,
try checking for the old skillwheel here:
https://www.celestialheavens.com/homm5/skillwheel/
As far as English goes I only see the .exe version for the old wheel, which I don't think helps you being on Linux??

Don't confuse the instant gating of Urgash's call with the Swift Gating perk, as it may be a bit misleading and they actually affect 2 different things. Swift Gating affects how fast the unit that performs a Gating action receives its next turn, it does not affect how soon the gated forces arrive. U...

Skill Wheel
So let me get this straight..... As far as changes to Gating are concerned, the new descriptions seem to indicate that..... - each level of Gating now yields 5% more creatures than before (30-45% rather than 25-40%) - any creature that performs Gating only expends half of its accumulated initiative ...

theGryphon, I haven't personally taken the Weakening Strike perk with a Knight myself so I haven't tested this, but my guess is that it actually applies to their Retaliation Strike ability (this is required to get the perk) and the Mark of Damned thing is just a text error?? Also, the description fo...

First a Tank, Then...
I don't see why it should be problematic for anyone that they inserted a plane into a map as a easter egg or whatever. Maybe it's just something that you don't get? If I had to guess I would have to wonder whether the tank and the plane models were simply ripped from another of Nival's games, perhap...

sweet! this is sort of one of the things I miss from previous Heroes games, the storytelling aspect.... as it made maps fun and interesting in my opinion. With the acting and dialogue in Heroes 5 being fair at best, perhaps they might have been better served by sticking with the tried and true formu...
Patch 1.4
what's the "puzzle map trick"?

There's gotta be an easier and faster way to simply update the dates on a bunch of files.

Skill Wheel
Aside from adding a wheel for the Dwarven faction, the skill wheel needs to be updated to account for the following (introduced with patch 1.4): - perk "Power of speed" was changed and grants "Mass Haste" spell now - perk "Power of Endurance" was changed and grants &quo...

If you wanna see how dialogue scenes should really be done play Half Life 2.
I swear sometimes I thought it was a movie and forgot it was a game.

There was a video released a few days ago that shows some Hammers of Fate footage. Here are a couple of links: http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/9773 http://www.3dgamers.com/games/heroesmightmagic5hf/downloads/ The opening part is sort of pointless if you ask me because why do we care about some dialo...
