Hello everyone. I hope someone will read my message and help me.
Many years ago (I don't even remember when), I was playing Heroes of Might and Magic V ("Tribes of the East" or "Hammers of Fate" - I don't remember which was the last one, but I had all the races), and then I found a mention (or maybe I downloaded it here) of some patch on this forum that modifies the AI. After the patch, I got the following: larger maps started playing out faster, and the opponent finally became much more reasonable. There was also a visual difference: in a normal game, the progress bar during the opponent's turn is quite thick (I didn't count, but probably about 12 pixels), but after the patch, the progress bar became only a couple of pixels wide.
That old computer is long gone, but the desire to play has returned. I downloaded Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East from Buka, patched it to 3.1 using "h5_Rus_buka_Patch31," played a bit, and realized that the AI is incredibly annoying with its senselessness. I would like to return to the previous logic of the computer opponent.
I really hope for help: does anyone remember that patch? What is it called? And what version should it be installed on? I downloaded a couple of AI patches, but they don't install on Buka. Previously, I had something that wasn't Buka; it was a genuine licensed copy that I later patched with NoCD so that I wouldn't have to put the disc in the drive every time. That is, the license was turned into a pirated copy, but everything worked perfectly.
