Other options include Orcs, Gnomes, and Sylvan Elves. I don't know about the rest.

Kreesanya, I completely agree with you – realism comes first!!! :smile20: P.S. You can address me informally:smile08: (I'm a student):D

Question: If I only have 64 MB of video memory, will the game run on my computer?

Since the original game runs on a 64 MB card, there shouldn't be any problems with the expansion pack. :)

Since the original requires 64 MB, there shouldn't be any issues with the expansion pack either.
The expansion pack has higher requirements than the base game, so it might run a bit slower, but if you're playing on the lowest settings, it rarely happens. I have 128 MB of RAM.

The expansion has higher system requirements than the base game, so it might lag, but if it runs smoothly on the lowest settings, it rarely happens. I have a 128MB card.
Why does the expansion have higher system requirements? It's not much of a graphical improvement. If the original ran on 64MB, the expansion should run too.

P.S. The key word is should. :D

Why, actually, are the system requirements higher for the expansion? Graphically, it hasn't improved much; if the original ran on 64MB, the expansion should too.

P.S. The key word is "should."
Then why does it lag on my 128MB graphics card, even on the lowest settings? Moreover, this isn't just an expansion; it's a full-fledged game with all the files, not just an expansion installation!

The Tribes of the East faction has higher system requirements in terms of all parameters, except perhaps the CPU. This is largely due to the introduction of larger maps and improvements in graphics, even though it's still using the old engine.

Well, I don't see any significant difference in the graphics, but it's likely that the issue lies in the engine. Hopefully, a patch will be released to fix this, as it causes slowdowns even on relatively small maps (216x216), which isn't the largest size. Overall, the developers have done a good job.

The graphics in ToE are indeed better, but not by much. I have a Gforce 8600 Gts, and it runs on maximum settings on XP, but it lags on Vista.

Guys, I have a question that's not related to the topic. How do I change the image of a castle and its creatures?

It seems the game consumes a lot of RAM; the recommended requirements state 2GB!!!
+ It looks like *Heroes 5* wasn't coded very well, which might be causing the lag...

On one gig, everything works stably at high quality ;)

Everything runs stably on high quality settings with 1 GB of RAM.
I believe you :) Especially if the RAM is fast and the computer isn't cluttered...

I used to play with 512 MB of RAM, and it lagged, but it was playable; now I have 1 GB, and it runs smoothly. I bought the HoMM 5 disc, and the packaging says the minimum video requirement is 64 MB, but in the Readme file on the disc, it says 128 MB. However, it seems to run on the lowest graphics settings, and I haven't tried anything higher. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to play "Stronghold."

1GB of RAM, 128MB of video memory... let's just say it runs even at maximum settings. But it's better not to talk about HOW it runs at maximum settings... so the most acceptable level is 800x600 and very low quality settings.

128MB of video memory doesn't say much; the real question is, what video card is it? And the processor also plays a role, plus the computer's overall load!:smile01:
Also, in Fortress, you can check the box for simplified graphics mode, so if the original game runs, Fortress should run too:D
