What did you mean? Everyone is here: in the bushes, under the stones... Browse the topics dedicated to mapmaking, mods, and tournaments – there, oh boy, life is bustling; there's plenty to discuss! But what's here? What is there? Well, nothing. There's simply nothing to discuss about Heroes 5. But if topics for discussion appear, you'll see where everyone is.

But, what am I saying? Yes, you're right. There aren't many people. Or rather, there are, but not as many as before. The "Heroes" are "dying," to put it figuratively; interest in them is waning. That's why there aren't many people... 😒
In general, the turn-based strategy genre is dying. Not everyone is ready or able to play such games; for example, I enjoy playing games like Medieval II, Rome Total War, and Stronghold, but Heroes is my favorite.
And in general, the genre has never been particularly popular. Only the third installment is considered a classic; most people haven't even heard of the fifth.

The fifth installment is more popular as a single-player game, while the third is favored as a multiplayer platform. It seems that the new generation doesn't like to think; they prefer shooters and action games. But I still enjoy hero games, Medieval, Civilization... Ah, back then, the grass was greener, and the zombies were faster...

It’s a pity that they abandoned the sixth installment; there’s no interest in playing it anymore. The only thing that might be worth it is going through the campaign; the story is great (in my opinion), and maybe even better than in the fifth game.

The sixth game isn't that bad, in my opinion. There's a much greater chance of assembling the hero you want, as you now choose the skills yourself. The saddest thing is that the creatures have become less interesting compared to the fifth or third game.

I like Heroes 5 the most, and Heroes 3 as well, but still, the 3D graphics make a difference... The visuals are definitely nicer in Heroes 5... My favorite faction is still the mages, with their all-knowing sorcerers. My favorite unit is the Titan; they look so impressive and are actually effective... The only downside is the lag/crashes on huge maps. I don't like small maps; I prefer long playthroughs, huge armies, and powerful heroes, as if you're "living" in the world of Heroes of Might and Magic...

Yes, crashes due to unrealistic settings are a problem. Don't forget to disable "Monster Week" on the map and clear your save files.

Yes, crashes on incredibly difficult maps are a problem. Don't forget to disable "Monster Week" on the map and clear your save files.

I've tried that, but the crashes still happen. And most often, it happens at the most frustrating moments... when an interesting progression has been achieved.

You could try using autosaves, so you can at least return to the process.

Okay, but aren't autosaves just the same as regular saves? It's just that a crash doesn't necessarily happen when loading a save; for example, you save at a certain point, start making a move, and then the game crashes. You load the save, make a move, and then the game crashes again, and it might even be at the same point.

so, are autosaves equivalent to regular saves? A crash doesn't necessarily happen when loading a save; for example, you save at a certain point, start making a move, and then the game crashes. You load the save, make a move, and then the game crashes again, and it might even be at the same point.
Sorry, I misunderstood you.

This is a disaster; I messed things up... Now the game crashes, for example, after the first turn when I save. I added some files, following tutorials for map creation programs, trying to extract creatures into 3D... Maybe I messed something up there.

I'm not trying to advertise anything, but I just wanted to share that I found a version of Heroes 5 called "Epic War Age." While the new creatures don't really interest me, I've noticed that the game seems to run more stably. I'm playing on the "Incredible" map, and I've only experienced one crash, even though I've played for a very long time. I can't say for sure if it's actually more stable, but this one example gives me hope.

Another thing: I have a mod installed that improves the AI. It seems to be included in the aforementioned build. I set the difficulty to "Hero." The AI divides its armies, giving the main hero the largest portion and the rest to the other heroes. But why is the AI so dumb that the creatures arriving in the castle in caravans just stand at the castle gates and accumulate? If the AI added them to its army, it would be much stronger!
Unfortunately, AI is AI, even in Africa...

Well, there’s a separate mod for enhanced AI, and crashes are fixable even without Eve.

That's quite fixable, I asked, and none of the advice helped with the crashes....

As for the enhanced AI... the main point isn't whether the mod is separate, but that even with such a mod, the AI is incredibly dumb.

Pavlinho, by the way, you would do a great service if you tested the 64-bit version of the game – it uses more memory and crashes less often.
