Posts from “Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East”

Hello everyone! I haven't played as the Orcs yet – I haven't bought the expansion. I don't know much about the characteristics of the Orcish troops. But it's immediately clear that you need to play as the Orcs aggressively, in an attacking style. I prefer to play defensively (defend, and only attack if absolutely necessary, avoid direct confrontation, "conserve" troops). But since I haven't tried playing them yet, I'll refrain from commenting for now. Regarding the appearance, I can say that it's not bad – they are "tough guys." But in my opinion, the most ideal Orcs (only from the point of view of appearance) were in Warcraft 3 – pumped up like "broilers" – such hyper-athletic guys, and what charming "smiles" they have – they are almost Hollywood-like. :D The other units also look normal:
Goblins – well, a goblin is a goblin, even on Mars; I heard you can throw them! It would be interesting to watch (like artillery + air defense);
Centaurs – they don't seem to stand out in any way, just warriors like any other, although they are the only level 2 creatures that occupy 4 spaces on the battlefield.
Shamans – they probably don't have much health, they are shamans, and they are beautiful girls;
Wyverns – I didn't understand them; they reminded me of one animated film, where they could easily be the deciding factor in a dispute about whether legs, wings, or the tail are more important!
Cyclops – there are no words to describe them – just emotions (positive) – huge, powerful – they are really cool; it's better not to look at them too closely, they will crush you like nothing, and they probably occupy all 9 spaces.
In short, I expect a lot from this expansion. I am interested in both the new Faction and the alternate upgrades. I will buy it as soon as I upgrade my computer.

Speaking of goblin-throwing competitions: it's quite amusing to see how a poor goblin flies apart into individual legs and arms, which then mysteriously disappear... :D Wyverns are generally not bad (their huge paws are explained by the need to maintain stable balance when walking upright :D), but their ears are too big... I would cut half of them off... Cyclops have one major drawback: they are very expensive. By the time you save up enough money for them, the game might be over... And the shamans... I was very confused by the appearance of their "daughters of the sky" upgrade... *what is that even?* There's no demonic blood mixed in there... it's like a neighbor alien from Alpha Centauri visited... ...And what is that strange, large mesh on their legs? Are those tights? 0_o

Regarding the Cyclops throwing goblins, it seems like the developers made a mistake; they always throw only one goblin, whether it's one Cyclops or 25... I think they should have made it so that the number of Cyclops equals the number of goblins thrown at the enemy + arc-shaped projectiles :D. Imagine, 20 Cyclops throwing 20 goblins in a 3x3 square – that would be amazing! :smile44: And there should have been a choice: either move or throw...

the choice is simple: if you need to move around instead of casting spells, hold down the Ctrl key...

I thought they threw the entire squad, and after the "flight," at least a few goblins remained alive and operated behind enemy lines, but it turns out they scatter into pieces. It would be cool if these little guys, while scattering, dealt damage to the surrounding enemy troops – like "exploding" goblins:smile04:, and enemies stumbling over their limbs while attacking (Wow, how cruel and cynical I was towards the goblins, I didn't expect that)! By the way, I have a question: how do goblins switch to the enemy side? Does their bloodlust level decrease? And if the opponent wins a small skirmish, will the goblins who switched to his side remain in the ranks of his army?
So, it turns out that wyverns have ears?! I naively thought it was their wings. And seriously, don't wyverns fly?:eek:
And also, can you revert upgrades? For example, I fought with skeletons wielding clubs, and then I decided to turn them into archers – is that possible?
And imagine how cool it would be if NIVAL decided to release a third expansion, where each upgrade would have a third upgrade, also in two versions, i.e., in the final upgrade, there would be four creature options (but for this, they would have to stretch their imagination a lot).
And include werewolves in someone's troops!:D
Ah, dreams...

Thanks, I didn't know that and didn't bother to look into the details!
Someone here wrote that Cyclops are expensive... I wouldn't say so, especially considering that there are plenty of gold mines on the maps, so by capturing a couple or three, you can buy an army right away!;)

I thought that when they use that ability, the entire squad is thrown, and after the "flight," at least some of the goblins remain alive and operate behind enemy lines, but it turns out they are scattered into pieces. It would be cool if these little guys, when scattering, would deal damage to the surrounding enemy troops – like "exploding" goblins:smile04:, and enemies attacking would trip over their limbs (Wow, how cruel and cynical I was towards the goblins, I didn't expect that)! And by the way, I have a question: how do goblins switch to the enemy side? Does their bloodlust level decrease? And if the opponent wins a small skirmish, do the goblins who switched to his side remain in the ranks of his army?
So, it turns out that wyverns have ears??!!! I naively thought it was their wings. And seriously, don't wyverns fly?:eek:
And also, can alt-upgrades be reverted? For example, I was fighting with skeletons wielding clubs, and then I decided to turn them into archers – is that possible?

Ah, dreams….

There will be no third expansion. It is possible to re-upgrade troops, the cost is 10% of the unit's price, and wyverns fly

It’s a pity that it won’t be possible. If it could be reworked, it would be very interesting! And I have another question: how can I divide an army slot into parts, for example, 200 goblins, into groups of, say, 50, 50, 100? In Heroes 3, it’s clear, in Heroes 4, too, but in Heroes 5, I can’t. Why?

offtopic. Hold down the Shift key when dragging a unit from one slot to another; a menu will appear.

Thank you very much, Magnus! I've been playing Heroes 5 for about a year now (though not very often), and I still didn't know how to do this. Thanks again!

Wyverns can definitely fly!... And where exactly were you looking for their ears?? I personally looked at their heads :D
By the way, wyverns are one of the few flying creatures in Heroes of Might and Magic V, whose wings have a more or less proportional size... you can't look at griffins, green and twilight dragons without shedding tears: how do they manage to fly with such stubby wings... The artist should be given a piece of soap! :D

Could you help me? The map editor isn't working. After making changes, it displays a window with a lot of errors, saves the file, but the new file size is only 1KB.

2 Vik9, reinstall the game and remove any Russian characters from the game's path (C:\Игры\Hero5 is incorrect; it should be C:\games\Hero5).

"D:\Program Files\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East" is the path to the folder.

Could you please tell me which faction is easiest to play against Orcs, and which faction should avoid confronting them?

Yes, please suggest a strategy for playing against Orcs!
