MMH5.5 - Heroes of Might and Magic 5.5

Hello everyone! Please excuse my absence; I was away for some time.

I also didn't like the fact that the landscape of the middle zone is generated randomly, which means that it can be native to one of the parties, which is very unfair.

Because it is randomly generated, and there are so many factions, it is impossible to avoid.

And third, too few variants of opposing races.

What do you mean? You can create a map and play with any race you want. Make sure you click on the "Random towns" box in the map generation properties. This option will allow you to choose your race in the game lobby.

Today, a strange thing happened. At first, everything was fine, but then the mouse pointer began to change constantly from the standby mode (hourglass) to the usual (horse). I was trying to save before the problem. And the problem was not there, but when I finished the game. Probably something is breaking down in the AI system. I do not know where to go with this problem; I cannot solve it.
Various saves for tests

This is a known issue with the AI. It is known by the name "the flickering issue." It is caused by the AI, and once it appears, it cannot be removed unless you quit the game and reload an older save file.
If you save after its occurrence, it will be included in the save file. Sometimes, it gets fixed by launching the game through the Utility_64.exe file for a few turns.
This is our greatest issue, and there have been many speculations about its root cause.
What we think is closest is a flaw in Quantomas AI that puts the AI thread in a loop.
The latest suggestion is that it occurs while the AI visits an ocean building.
A community member posted a possible fix. It is still not tested enough, so if you are playing games, we will be most grateful if you use it. Download it from here and put it in the data folder and start a new game because changes do not affect already started maps or saved games.

what are dragon blood crystals, and where can I find them? (needed so that the guild of mages summons creatures)

OFFOSORG is correct. There are some artifacts that also boost the number of Dragon crystals. You can see how many dragon crystals a hero has by visiting

You can find more about the feature at the bottom of this article.
