The latest expansion pack has been released. Now, certain things are clear.

With the release of the "Tribes of the East" expansion, I started looking at Heroes 5 in a different light. Before, I thought that Heroes 5 wasn't an interesting game. I played it without much enjoyment and preferred the old, good Heroes 3. The release of the expansion somehow radically changed my opinion about this game. The Orc faction is very interesting, the spellbook is interestingly designed, as are the heroes and their story, and the castle is beautifully drawn. I also liked that the expansion gave a choice of development paths for upgraded units for each faction. And FINALLY, composite artifacts! That's what was missing. Now I can confidently say: - Heroes 5 is a worthy continuation of Heroes 3!!!!
