Posts from MMH5.5 - Heroes of Might and Magic 5.5

hello programmers) I had an idea to add something new to my map, something that would make it more interesting: after a battle, the victorious hero would fully replenish his losses. But I don't know how to do this, so I'm looking for help.

@Dusha6613, this works.

@JORAJAN, find the script in MMH55-Index.pak / scripts / H55-Core.lua
Inside, there is a function that contains the logic for artifacts that revive creatures after battle.

There are only 6 skills initially. There are 8 only if you check the box when starting the map. I don't see any problems.

I don't like the system of assigning certain skills, as well as the lack of native faction skills for many heroes. For example: Dark Elves don't have their skill "Irresistible Magic," which shows the element (earth, water, fire, air) that creatures have when they level up; Elves don't have "Avenger," and so on. Without this, the game becomes more difficult, which I like, but it also eliminates the whole point of choosing a hero from a particular faction, because you can level up a human hero, give him a Dark Elf army, and he will fight with them just as well as a hero who is a Dark Elf. And, in my opinion, this is a big drawback that diminishes the interest in playing.

Not quite. The "Avenger" ability belongs to the "Ranger" class. And "Sense Elements" is an ability of the Dark Elves in the "Occultism" skill. Demons have "Gate Opening." The Academy has "Master of Artifacts." The Northern Clans have "Rune Knowledge." Necromancers have "Necromancy." The Great Horde has "Blood Fury." Only Humans lost "Retraining."

Hello, I'm having an issue with the installation. I downloaded a mod specifically for playing the campaigns, but the text and voiceovers in the campaigns are in English, except for Tribes of the East, where both the text and voiceovers are in Russian. I tried installing additional Russian language packs for the campaign from the same link in the header, but it doesn't work without additional steps. If I replace MMH55-Cam-Dialogs-EN with MMH55-Cam-Dialogs-RU and MMH55-Cam-Texts-EN with MMH55-Cam-Texts-RU, and delete the previous files, the Russian text appears, but there are no voiceovers at all, which breaks the cutscenes. The game itself is initially Russian. How can I solve this problem?

You should familiarize yourself with the Heroes of Might and Magic V Manual, and everything will become clear; a certain set of skills depends on the chosen hero class, so there is something to think about before choosing the main hero and secondary heroes.

I've already tried it. If you simply unpack these files into UserMODs, nothing will change. However, if you replace "RU" with "EN" in the file names and delete the previous files with the same name, Russian text will appear in the campaigns, but the sound will disappear, and this breaks the cutscenes (they simply don't progress past the first line).

If the same file exists in two .PAK archives, the game will choose the file with the most recent modification date. There is likely an issue with this, but I cannot help further.

Dear community,

RC14 Beta is now available and it opens up new possibilities in terms of tactical game play and in-game variety.

NOTE: This test BETA, DOES NOT INCLUDE OLD CAMPAIGNS!, stay on RC13a if you are currently playing the campaign.

>> Full change list <<

>> Installation guide <<

>> Download <<

Major changes:

1. CREATURES

All creature hp boosted by 20-25% to achieve the following goals:

-Improve unit movement tactics
-Weaken exploitative 1-unit blocker tactics, boost stronghold that lacks the ability for such tactics
-Lower importance of first turn and effect of RNG on battle outcome.
-Higher danger level of melee neutrals.
-Lower danger level of ranged and destructive neutrals.
-Weaken destructive heroes a bit (could have been done by other means but it was already a welcome side effect).

2. SKILLS

A fundamental change is that Scholar and Wisdom are heavily modified to allow heroes to learn high level spells from 'unusual' schools (not in the towns mage guild). this will greatly improve the tactical variation in the game

3. CLASSES

Generally, almost every class has underwent some changes in skillwheel to equalize early game and there is much more room for each faction to experiment with 'unusual magic'

-Haven: now has 2 knight classes, a dark and a light one, instead of paladin which was basically a weak knight offering little difference from the real knight
-Inferno: gatekeepers have rare option to learn light magic
-Sylvan: new Avenger class focused on imbuing arrows with dark or destructive magic, ranger is more conventional 'forest knight'
-Necropolis: Since Raise dead was moved to dark magic, a new heavy magic class is introduced: Nethermage, the necromancer is now the balanced class and has pretty much same development as TOE version.
-Dungeon: weak Assassin class replaced with Trickster class starting with luck, modified minotaur guards to work with soldiers luck, has rare option to go for light magic
-Fortress: Runemage is now offensive balanced class with better access to summoning and dark, Flamekeeper is heavy magic class for light+destructive combo
-Academy: Seer replaced with enchanter starting with light magic, elementalist is nerfed and renamed conjurer and is balanced class, Wizard is heavy magic class
-Stronghold: balance improvements to skillwheels (as with all factions)

4. HEROES

The changelist here is massive and I'm not writing it down since it can be observed mostly from browsing through the heroes in custom game menu.
A lot of heroes will have different specs or haved moved between classes as a consequence of class and skillwheel changes. In the process of moving heroes to appropriate places a lot of bios have been updated to H7 lore status and mistakes in lore have been corrected, most TOE heroes have their 'lore specialization' back. (such as deleb having iron maiden again). The starting skills of the hero will be mentioned in the spec description.

5. ARTIFACTS

-All +% DMG boosting artifacts reduced to 30% from 50%
-All -% DMG protection artifacts reduced to 40% from 50% OR 20% from 25%
-All scrolls also give +2 Knowledge
-All wands also give +2 Spellpower
-ring of vitality is minor
-ring of banishment is relic
-dwarven smithy hammer is minor
-sword of might improved to +3 attack
-beginners magic wand improved to +3 Spellpower

6. ADVANCED RMG

-2 new template series (Ladder & Gladiator) for multiplayer games with starting towns far apart

Good day. The option to select 8 skills seems to have disappeared. I created a map using the generator and then processed it with Mapmixer. The button to set 8 skills is there, but the actual limit is 6.
