I want to play online, but I need a key! Where can I get it?

I really want to create my own translation of Heroes 5. How can I do that?

If you are going to translate the English version of the game, you need to open the archive (data folder), which contains the texts, extract the necessary files, and translate them. All archives can be opened with WinRAR. To pack it back into an archive that the game understands, simply update the old archive instead of creating a new one with the same extension. (SandroXXL)
