psatkha, what is your personal assessment of the likelihood that anything will actually come of this, rather than remaining at the stage of mere discussion? His silence has been going on for quite some time.
... И древний лес, роскошен и печален,
Блистает там воздушностью прогалин.
Но между кедров, полных тишиной,
Расщелина по склону ниспадала.
О, никогда под бледною луной
Так пышен не был тот уют лесной...

What will it be made of? He stopped communicating with Glistagon a long time ago. psatkha also wrote that there was silence from their side. So, I personally have long believed that the idea is dead... At least, from this side of the fortress, if you approach it.
As for how their patches are progressing, I don't know, I haven't been following.

Well, yes, it's quiet so far... maybe he's ignoring us... or maybe he just changed his email!

Sadness and longing.

Well, I also wrote to a couple of friends he used to communicate with... maybe they know what's going on.

Overall, this is a huge chunk of code that can be disassembled and reassembled however you like, but before you start doing something like that, you need to figure out where everything is located. As far as I understand, all the mechanics are in the files, the executable is the key, the start button that begins to turn these gears. I want to study the files that contain the faction IDs, but I don't know where they are. Can anyone help me?

As far as I understand, the entire mechanics are contained in the files; it's a complex system of gears, and the executable is the key, the start button that sets these gears in motion. I want to study the files that contain the faction IDs, but I don't know where they are located. Who can help me?

It's best to address this question to mrHalfer - the author of EWA - he worked on this, and although he couldn't make changes to the game's source code, he succeeded in something else:
using Deflaktor and a HEX editor, he was able to increase the number of available IDs to 255, thereby making it possible to introduce new artifacts into the game.

It seems that the probability is zero. I had a crazy idea:

What if we write a letter in English to Ubisoft and Nival, on behalf of the Heroes forum, asking them to provide the fans with the source code or part of the code? I understand that this request will sound very strange... if not to say more:))) but you never know, maybe something will come of it? Maybe they will be willing to cooperate, and if not, then that's that

I think I already tried this before (with Ubisoft), and the response from their side was very generic. Nevertheless, it might be worth trying again, as a lot of time has passed. There's no point in contacting Nival, as they unfortunately don't have the source code. The rights belong to Ubisoft.

What did they say then?

Perhaps, the format of the request should be changed:
present logical arguments + emphasize that this is of interest to many
Even if they refuse, at least they will know that the game is still popular among fans. Who knows, maybe they will make a sequel.

I think it's worth revisiting this issue. There are some promising ideas. We need to test them, and there's a high probability that they will work. This time, the letter won't include a request to provide the source code – that's pointless, as it's obvious that no one will simply provide it out of the goodness of their heart. However, a polite request to release the 8th installment, backed by reasonable arguments for Ubisoft's financial department, might work, and who knows, maybe we'll soon see a continuation of the Heroes series. And if the idea doesn't work, it means that Ubisoft has definitively and irrevocably buried the Heroes theme in the archives of its gaming industry. But let's hope for the best!
