Altrmus - mod for alternative music in the game
When you play the same game for a long time, sooner or later something will get on your nerves. I couldn't find a suitable mod on the internet, so I put together my own compilation.

Installation: 
Copy the "music2" folder to the game root folder; if the "music2" folder v.2 from 30.03.2022 was installed, replace it with the new version (you should end up with the "music" folder and my "music2" folder side by side.)
Copy the "music" archive (with .pak extension) to the "Data" folder, replacing the previous version of the archive
P.S. I recommend setting the music volume in the game settings slightly below max, and the sound effects volume at half.

Could you perhaps upload at least some of the tracks separately? Either the tracks themselves (as videos on YouTube, for example), or at least the names of the compositions. This would allow one to get a general idea of what’s what without downloading the mod. Thank you in advance.

To replace the melody, you need to put them in the music folder.

Is there a fresh download link available?

Yes, here is a fresh, working link to the replaced music:

The archive is named Altrmus.

Yes, you chose the music well.

Could you please tell me how to add music from Heroes of Might and Magic IV? Perhaps there is even a separate mod that replaces the music in Heroes of Might and Magic V with music from Heroes of Might and Magic IV? Simply put, Heroes of Might and Magic IV has the most amazing music, and I would like to hear it in Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East 3.1. Thank you in advance.

Find and download the music from Heroes of Might and Magic IV, convert all tracks to .ogg. Open the Heroes of Might and Magic V directory -> music. Look at the track name from Heroes of Might and Magic V and rename the track from Heroes of Might and Magic IV accordingly. Then, simply replace the tracks.

You find and download the music from Heroes 4, convert all the tracks to .ogg. Open the Heroes 5 -> music directory. Look at the track name from Heroes 5 and rename the track from Heroes 4 accordingly. Then, simply replace the tracks.

I didn't convert them; I just changed the extension from mp3 to ogg when renaming (is this really that bad, or was I doing something wrong that could cause the game to crash?).

Then, the music in the game simply won't play for you.

Hello everyone, I'm going to get back to my hobby and finish what I started. Specifically, I want to replace the music for each faction with music of my own choosing! And I'll start, one by one, with each faction. If anyone is interested, suggest which faction I should start with, and I'll begin.

Is there a way to prevent the music from resetting when leaving a town, and when returning to the town, have it continue playing from the same point, as it was in Heroes 3?

perhaps, but I haven't thought about how to do it; I just replace the music.

Let's play as Haven!

Let's go with Haven.

I agree.;)
