P.S. - a small off-topic - I talked with Ubisoft, and today their position is that all modifications for the fifth Heroes are illegal because they violate the terms of their new license, which is common to all products (license from 2016). For Heroes 5, you are only allowed to create your own maps and campaigns. Everything else is piracy.
In essence, this entire subforum is illegal.
I communicated with the support service for a month, and according to the support, "Ubisoft services" include all products that belong to the company.
"Please note that modifying content is a violation of the terms of use of Ubisoft services, namely:
"You agree not to take any action aimed at selling, renting, or distributing Content. You also agree not to attempt to modify, change, decompile, disassemble, reproduce by reverse engineering, translate, adapt, reproduce, distribute, distribute, and transmit any information, software, product, and, in general, any element of the Content."
You can find more detailed information about the terms of use of Ubisoft services by following the link:

And here is the answer to their position on all existing mods for the game:
"You are asking if modifying the game Heroes of Might & Magic 5 is a violation of the Terms of Use of Ubisoft services.
As my colleague already informed you, such actions violate paragraph 3.1 of the above document."
