They might be able to get it, as some forum members have contacts with insiders at Ubi, but whether they will share this information with the community is something I highly doubt!

That's true, but what if they were paid? What do you think they might ask for?

What exactly constitutes "a lot"? 500 euros, 2000 euros?
After all, the money can be raised. I am sure that many forum members would support this initiative financially. Perhaps it would be worth creating a special fund for this purpose – to support modders. Any forum member, and not just forum members (there is also YouTube and social media), can contribute to the common cause by donating any amount they are willing to give.

I am almost 100% sure that the price was not named with the intention of making a profit, but rather as a way to gauge interest.
Based on the license under which the game is distributed, its source code cannot be distributed in any form. Therefore, since Quantomas is already an adult, or rather, a mature person, he is unlikely to violate the license agreement by giving the source code to someone, even for money.
Besides, even the amount of 5000€ is quite small in the realities of illegal intellectual property, and prices can be inflated for a long time, and I, despite my love for the game, am not ready to spend a lot of money, and considering how many people play Heroes, and how many of them will pay, the money may not be raised at all.
So, the source code can be said to be an unattainable thing.


Не уходи безропотно во тьму,
Будь яростней пред ночью всех ночей,
Не дай погаснуть свету своему!

Хоть мудрый знает – не осилишь тьму
Во мгле словами не зажжёшь лучей –
Не уходи безропотно во тьму.

What does "very much" mean? 500 euros, 2000 euros?

It's much more than that... it's a pity I don't have any acquaintances among Arab sheikhs... or, for example, Mr. Chubais, who claimed many times that he has "a lot of money," could do at least one good deed - buy the source code and make it available to everyone!

Well, since we don't have access to the source code, I think we should switch to this topic – it’s more realistic:

I don't know of any precedent where players bought the source code from the publisher (it definitely never happened with Ubisoft). The most we can do is draft a collective appeal on behalf of the "most dedicated fans" requesting the publication of the source code or the development of a reissue/remake. But it's unlikely that Ubisoft's management will go for such charity (in the case of publishing the source code). We can only hope for hacker groups, which not so long ago leaked the code from Ubisoft's Watch Dogs and Rayman. In response to a request from one of the players on Steam, the moderator replied as follows:

Yep. In case of Ubisoft isn't going to make remaster. Can company publish sourcecode of the game (ToTE 3.1 version) so that fan community would enhance some aspects? [/quote]
Hey Alfredo M,
Thanks for this!
We cannot make any guarantee any source code will be made publicly available, however we'll pass this feedback onto the relevant teams for consideration.
Thank you!

Let's write it! Why not? You don't have to pay to ask! Maybe they'll make an improved version of Heroes of Might and Magic V.

prime79, a petition to Ubisoft has already been created on Steam; you can go to Steam and add your support.

You are prohibited from posting messages in the Heroes of Might & Magic V discussions.
To learn more, visit the Steam support page.

I'm going to guess that your account has been banned for some reason. It's best to clarify with the administration.
PS I can still post on my accounts, so Steam isn't blocking us completely yet.

My account there is quite old, and I don't even know what they would ban me for... I don't think I wrote anything inappropriate there... by the way, I'll check under my son's account this evening!

As far as I understand, user Quantomas has the source code for version 3.0, not 3.1. And why hasn't he released anything else besides the improved AI? After all, minor changes like adding new hero specializations and fixing old ones seem obvious. Correct me if I'm wrong.
