I wanted to ask them for permission to use hero icons from parts 6 and 7 for a free mod for Heroes 5. And they replied that using their content in mods is generally prohibited because it violates the license. Then I started asking them detailed questions about specific points. And in the end, I clarified their attitude towards mods for Heroes 5 in general, since there are a huge number of them, to which they replied that modifications violate clause 3.1 by their very existence.

And I'm a little confused after all this. I look at my project and wonder if it's worth continuing under these circumstances?!

Can you send me the email of the Ubi employee who replied in a private message?!

This seems rather dubious. Why would an Ubisoft employee even talk to someone about a game that's 13 years old and probably doesn't bring them millions anymore?

As far as I remember, both Ubisoft and Nival usually ignore attempts to contact them.

They don't ignore them, at least they always responded to all my emails!

At the very least, the person responsible for community relations should respond. However, whether that person will actually try to convey community thoughts, suggestions, or wishes to other departments is far from certain. So, when I tried to do this a few years ago, it felt like the worst possible call center experience. Perhaps things have changed since then.

In my case, the person responsible for these relations forwarded my letter to two employees in charge of the relevant issue, and then one of them gave a POSITIVE response, stating that the use of content from their games is permitted for non-commercial projects within the series!

Sometime ago I tried to contact Nival and Ubisoft to request the use of H5 source code for non-commercial use.

Nival said that their hands are tight without permission from Ubisoft.
Ubisoft did not respond to my e-mail.

Okay. Apparently, my conversation was related to the specifics of the issue.

Yeah, this looks credible.

Apparently, psatkha was lucky in this matter. However, the author of Heroes V - Remake clearly communicated with the wrong people.

Small update!

The following add-ons are available for the Remake mod and can be downloaded from the disc:
Installation - place them in the RMod directory.
AllHero-Unlock.pak - unlocks campaign heroes;
CompatibilityMap (31.05.2018-Beta).pak - a mod for compatibility with fan-made multiplayer maps;
GrayGhost.pak - restores the gray color to ghosts;
RageButton (4.3-R).pak - adds an orc rage info button and changes the interface in battles.

P.S. - I promised to make a mod for compatibility with third-party maps back in April, but I just haven't had the time. ((
To play your own maps on the Remake mod, place the maps in the "RMod" directory in *.h5m or *.pak format.
This mod only supports standard heroes. I tried to maintain the functionality of third-party scripts that come with the maps, but I cannot guarantee their operation. If the map contains its own unique buildings, they will not be displayed, and if the author has limited the available hero options on the map, you will not be able to choose your own hero when creating a game; only His Majesty, Random, will be available.
These modifications are compatible with each other.

Enjoy the game!

when using a Uplay license (ToE 3.1), the game crashes when creating a map in the map editor.

Thank you for pointing out the error!
I've already fixed it and uploaded the "Remake-Fix (11.07.2018).pak" file to the disk.

Were you able to redirect the save files and other data to a different path?!

Unfortunately, not yet.

Can it be redirected to the game folder?!

I think so. But it's just a theory.
You just need to find the right line and change it.
