Posts from Heroes V - Remake "File restructuring, 'junk' cleanup, and game optimization"

Am I correct in understanding that Knights and Paladins were placed lower than simple monks? And how will the corresponding training work now - did you check?

A very powerful ability, working in 50% of cases (instead of 30%), under the Soldier's Luck perk in 75% of cases - that's something. I don't understand why it needed to regain a high chance.

I didn't understand the change, and wasn't it not direct before?

Out of habit, I wrote it; I meant neutral messengers.

In general, any undead should be able to join. By the way, when you start working on the Lord of the North Campaigns, keep in mind that in the final mission of Suspicion (the second mission for Freya), the final cutscene is not shown. And this, by the way, is the only cutscene in which Kha-Belekh appears. And because of this, even on the Ashan Wiki page with the Lord's biography, it is not written that he appears in Lords. In general, there are quite a few cutscenes in the first part that are not shown, but there is an option to view cutscenes in the settings, but there is no such option in Lords.

And by the way, it is possible to make it so that mummies are raised from mages; the biography of mummies says that they are resurrected mages.

I stumbled upon the video by chance while browsing the game settings in one of the early versions of Goose's mod, which added a bunch of new heroes.

If you need it, I can send it to you, just tell me where the videos are located in the game files.

And another interesting question. Do you plan to make Kha-Belekh playable, and if so, what will you do with his movement animation, or rather, with its complete absence?

In general, there are currently errors in the available campaigns; specifically, incorrect animations and other issues occur in many dialogues. I am currently collecting data on these, and they will be fixed before the stable release. Since many things are changing in the resources, and with each update, something may start to malfunction even in an already fixed version of the campaign missions.

The issue of his movement can be easily resolved – just give him a model of Agaril riding a red lizard.

In the original, the dialogues are located in the "/DialogScenes/" directory.

Don't you have the first version of the mod by Goose? If you do, install it and look for the video in the settings.

13zl, during the siege of the Inferno city, the game crashes.

So far, I haven't encountered any hidden cutscenes in the first campaigns,

I wanted to check if succubi have been added to the Inferno towers during a siege. I launched a mission for Agrael, where the elves in his army desert, and attacked a demon city. The mod version is 17.09.02-Beta, installed on 3.1, with your mod applied to all heroes.

In the finale of the fourth mission for Zehir, before the ritual over Isabel, another cutscene should have played, where Railag at the ruins of the Claw confesses to Isabel that he is Agrael.

Yes, I brought the Succubi back to the towers. In this mission, I confirm the deployment; I needed to temporarily disable the campaigns in this update because they became too unstable.

That's a good idea. What about renaming the devils and archdevils? Because there's only one devil, and that's Kha-Beleth, and calling a unit a "devil" seems a bit strange. And if "archdemon" sounds good, then it would be better to rename the devils, say... to something like "Warriors of Chaos." What do you think?

Well, yes, Kha-Belekh wasn't the most powerful demon when he seized power; he was cunning, but let's say that the princes of Shio at that time – Azkaal or Ariban, for example (if you're familiar with the plot of the sixth game, you know who they are) – were much stronger than Kha-Belekh. But all these princes and lords were at odds with each other, and the War of the Eclipse had also weakened them. In general, almost all of them died, and the future Overlord took advantage of this. And yes, I know that the devil there is essentially Urgash; I meant the Supreme Demon, but by the way, apart from Heroes 5 and Clash of Heroes, I haven't heard of any high-ranking demons being called devils in any other project related to Ashan. But yes, from the descriptions of devils, it follows that they lead the legions of Shio into battle. By the way, yes, it's a classic, but still a rather interesting name.
