Duel Preset

With the release of patch 1.5, an interesting feature appeared in the editor, namely, the ability to create a duel character. This means you can create your own hero for duels and then use them to fight against other heroes. (although it takes a very long time to figure it out :))

In this connection, the idea arose to create my own duel mode, in which the heroes will be the users (and not only them :)) of the Heroes World forum! To balance the armies, artifacts, etc.

THESE CHARACTERS CAN BE USED IN ONLINE GAMES!

For now, the idea is still just an idea :) , but I have already created several test characters. You can download and watch videos featuring them (see attachments)

Small FAQ:
1. The videos are only worth downloading if you have version 1.5
2. Download the file and place it in the folder /My Documents/My Games/Heroes of Might and Magic V/Profiles/profile name/Replays
3. Launch the game and go to the settings
4. Recordings/Record Battle
5. You can laugh :)

Guys! I really want to implement this idea and bring it to life! To do this, we need to find a balance for the heroes. This can only be done through collective effort, by playing as these characters.

So, here's the question. We need to gather a small team of testers whose task is to identify imbalances. :) For now, they often surface. :(

Tonight, I'll try to upload a few heroes for testing.

Here are the first heroes :)

FAQ on installation
1. Extract the archive
2. Place the files from the archive into the Nival Interactive\Heroes of Might and Magic V\DuelPresets folder
3. Enable duel mode in the game
4. Check the "custom settings" box
5. Select heroes from the list with a rating of 22000.

Isn't there such a feature in Hammers of Fate 2.1?
Nope. :( We're waiting for 3.0 :smile43: Or 2.2, but I have my doubts... :rolleyes:

For the videos and presets to work correctly, you need the official Heroes of Might and Magic V game from the publisher 1C, patched to version 1.5. Please refer to the first post!

Most likely, to maintain balance, it is necessary to convert all characteristics into a single system. Below, I am providing one such system for units (the hero's army); it may contain discrepancies with the indicated translations (for example, attack - 2 points) because they were corrected after testing in the game to maintain the best balance. Later, I will post a similar one for the units of all factions and for the hero as a whole, with points for his experience and leveling up. Each standard hero (tested on Marbas, Leto, and Vittorio) has approximately 21,000 points. Therefore, when creating heroes, you need to give them approximately 21,000 points to maintain balance.

Basically, I wrote about my problem in the online topic...
Now I've more or less figured it out, but the problem remains...
If I create heroes or maps, they are saved where they should be, but...
these files weigh only 1 KB, and naturally, they don't work (I tried using heroes uploaded in this topic - they work)
Help me figure out what's wrong...
The path contains Russian characters, but the GSC maps made in the editor are saved correctly...
Of course, the game is a licensed version... 3.0...

My path contains Russian characters, but the HMM editor saves maps normally...

Well, try reinstalling the game so that there are no Russian characters in the path, and everything will be fine.

I had this issue with created heroes; it turns out that if the power goes out or you exit too quickly, they sometimes don't save. They are in the package, but not in the game, and you can't open them in the editor.

Hey, how do I load my own character into the game? :smile05:

After creation, the preset (the character file you created) must be placed in the folder:

*\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\DuelPresets

Where * is the path to the root folder of the game.
