Posts from Epic War Age (EWA) - Adapted Mod Collection

Could you show a screenshot of this art? I haven't encountered this bug before. Perhaps you mistook a rare art piece for a bug.

I don't know how to add a screenshot, but the sword is definitely from Enroth (Name in blue+9 attack+12 defense+7 knowledge+3 spirit). Map: The ruler of Erathia received it together with Frida (when he rescued her from prison).

This sword was added by the Legends of the Ancients campaign, seemingly as a replacement for the "Frida" artifact.

Yes, this does happen. Indeed, some campaigns and scenarios included in the collection feature new, epic artifacts, such as Frida's artifact.

Do creature alt-upgrades work in multiplayer? Or do you need to create a map using RTMG templates? No matter how many times we've tried to play online, even in Fortress, only standard upgrades are available. What could be the problem?

Are you sure you know how Fortress works? First, you upgrade to one tier, and then you get the option to upgrade either to a standard alternative or to a new one.

If you don't get the option to upgrade to a new alternative, it's possible that your map isn't patched to EWA.

Do you really know how the Fortress works? First, you upgrade it to the first tier, and then you get the option to upgrade it either to a standard alternative or to a new one.

If you don't get the option to upgrade to a new alternative, it might be because your map isn't patched to EWA.

I don't remember maps for EWA needing to be patched. It changes the game itself, and upgrades are just one of the characteristics, along with other things like speed/attack rate, etc., of the creatures.

It’s a pity that it’s not possible to make a 4-column hiring screen.

It is possible that after the failure of the 7th installment, the developers will gradually return to creating a new game, but based on the 5th installment.

Are you not aware of what Nival is currently working on? In my opinion, they are the only ones who can release something worthwhile...

In general, Nival moved its headquarters to Limassol to focus on global markets. The fact is that back in 2015, the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a bill on the introduction of VAT for foreign IT companies operating in Russia. The bill required foreign companies that sell software, games, music, movies, and other content and services (including advertising) in Russia to pay VAT. Nival sells games through Russian and foreign companies using Steam, as well as Google and Apple stores. Now, sales of foreign companies are subject to VAT, and for Russian companies, the tax "effectively doubles." The purchasing power of Europeans is higher than that of Russian players. The additional tax further reduced the attractiveness of the Russian market for the developer. However, according to the latest news, Nival has announced the world's first artificial intelligence based on neural networks. Nival announced that it has managed to solve one of the most ambitious tasks in artificial intelligence in recent times – to create a fair neural network AI for RTS (real-time strategy) games that does not use hidden information about the opponent and plays at the level of top players. A large number of leading global companies, including DeepMind and IBM, are working on this task. The AI created has been given a purely Russian name, Boris. Every few seconds, Boris analyzes the game session and, based on the data obtained, predicts the opponent's behavior, which allows it to apply complex counter-strategies. https://tproger.ru/news/first-fair-ai-for-games/

They've gotten into it. Oh well, they won't be playing Heroes anymore)))

Yes, let's just say there's unofficial information that Nival Interactive has a desire to return to the Heroes theme, but right now, everything depends on funding...

You have excellent knowledge, Atlant108. I wasn't aware of such progress at Nival.

The GreenHaven creature column has completely disappeared. Any ideas?

JusticeLawer, what mods are installed besides EWA? Are there any custom maps?
What options are selected in the launcher settings?

Do creature upgrades work in multiplayer games?

News for July 4, 2017:

1) Regarding downloading the build - there are 3 options (RuTracker, Mail.Ru, Mega.Nz) http://el-mods.ru/load/4-1-0-12

2) Since access to Yandex, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Mail.ru, and other Russian websites has been blocked in Ukraine by presidential decree, Ukrainian residents are advised to install the free application "Вільній країні — Вільний.нет" to unblock them. https://vilny.net/

3) Please note that not all maps allow you to choose heroes from Campaigns. For example, on the map "Harsh Times," you cannot select Freya, Bertrand, or Nicholas. This is done intentionally – it was designed this way by the authors of these maps. However, there are maps where the authors have added many new Heroes with new parameters, for example:

1) scenario "Uninvited Guests" /topic/12098/
2) scenario "Pack Leader" /topic/10210/
3) campaign "Dark Mission" /topic/5015/
4) scenario: "Two Sisters" /topic/10794/
5) scenario "Unity of Elements" /topic/10586/

4) Work on updates has been temporarily suspended... but updates will be released when the author and creator of the mod - Denis Rakhmatullin - returns to developing the mod.

4) The UNIT_BALANCE mod is currently not compatible with EWA; try other mods, such as:
a) LBE mod - minimal changes towards balance for Heroes V
/topic/11956/
b) Balanced Units - Minimal unit balance mod /topic/12208/
c) other balance mods.
/topic/10183/

5) If you see this error when installing EWA - "Error launching application 0xc(000007b)," we recommend downloading a different version of the game (Steam or Buka), for example: a licensed Russian-language edition from Buka:
