Posts from 09/27/2007 – the demo version of Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East was released. Auto-translated

So, there are only a few days left until the release, specifically just over two weeks, which will culminate in the release of the long-awaited expansion – on October 12th. But yesterday, on popular American and European file archives, such as http://www.gamershell.com/news/41987.html and http://www.fileplanet.com/180397/180000/fileinfo/Heroes-of-Might-&-Magic-5:-Tribes-of-The-East-Demo, the demo version of the anticipated expansion was uploaded. The links above lead directly to downloading the demo version, although you need to register on FilePlanet. This little piece of happiness weighs 901 MB. If you have already downloaded Tribes of the East and tasted a delicious piece of the new content, you could share your opinion with the public on any criteria (graphics, technical aspects, gameplay), in general, everything you wanted to criticize, add a spoonful of tar, or honey to the barrel of the release. Also, I personally have a question for those who have already seen the green faces of Stronghold. In the demo version, two missions are available; the first one starts without any problems, and it's a scenario where you play as the new faction (as expected). It's not a very cheerful map, which basically shoves the new features in your face. It's purely an advertisement before the release. But there is also a second map, Agrail Trial – and it requires activation, but I have no idea where to get this activation key, or maybe I was just too lazy to look. But I couldn't find any key on Ubisoft's website, not to mention Nival, which hasn't bothered to write anything about its own project lately, and information about it has probably been gathering dust since the release of Lords of the North. In short, the topic is: who activated the second map, please write how to do it. Amen :smile16:

Map - "activation" button - password 7964-8248-7603-2676. Taken from the Nival website. Here are links to download it: http://www.ubi.com/DE/Downloads/Info.aspx?dlId=2345 from Ubisoft, and it's also available on most gaming websites.

So, Nival hasn't completely fallen into decay yet. It's just that, judging by the overall picture, the information there isn't updated very actively. Or maybe I just don't visit the forums often enough, so I haven't been able to find that coveted key.
Now I need to check out the new map. Thanks, Alan.

Here are the download links: http://www.ubi.com/DE/Downloads/Info.aspx?dlId=2345 from Ubisoft, and in general, most gaming sites already have the demo.

Well, yesterday I was on Fileplanet, waiting for the download to become available (and eagerly rubbing my hands), and today, of course, it's already available in many places.

I really want to play the demo version, but I don't even have time to download it! Those who have played, tell me, how do the Orcs behave in the game? :)

:) Only Shamans and Goblin Shamans dance:rolleyes:

The ideas are good, it was long overdue... but I still prefer cunning mages over powerful barbarians.

Play it, you won't regret it, buddy! It's cool to play as the Orc, Gotay, the Orc army rules, and if you enter the key, you'll get access to another mission where you have to play as the long-forgotten... Agraal!!! :smile51:

It's a shame that everything is in English...

Guys, where exactly do I enter the key? I downloaded the demo version, launched it, but it didn't ask for a key... ???

And it shouldn't have... The demo has 2 maps; you can play one right away, and if you want to play the other, it will ask for a key. ;)

Finally downloaded and played it! The Orcs are awesome. It's fun to play with them! And the guys, and the shamans, are so cool, I could just watch them!:D Well, the map is not bad! The Orcs' castle is cool, there's something to see!:) There are different creatures, and it will take a while to learn the abilities of all the Orcs and their spells! So there will be something to work on. And it's true that it's a bit difficult to read everything in English, but it's okay, soon there will be a licensed version, and then I can finally play with the Elves and their upgrades!:)
