With the Dwarves, you can't capture a Shield building and hire units. Is this a bug? v25.02.2025. I downloaded it on April 9th, and it was the same before. Plus, on some scenarios, the game crashes after 30-40 minutes, even when loading other saves.

The Schloss map is for 4 players and is large in size. The Bay of Destiny map is for 5 players and is large in size. I uploaded it to two save files before starting the game. On the Bay of Destiny map, the shield dwellings are working as intended; I've taken two buildings so far.

Well, this bug with the Castle and Stronghold won't always occur.
If the map already exists, you can go into the map editor and simply rotate the object or place it again in the position it needs to be in.

Did I understand correctly that after restarting, the "large" map continued to work normally?

Good afternoon!
There's a problem with the game crashing after a few turns. I deleted the account. Is there a way to update the map for the mod?

Good afternoon, what is the map format?
Huge?
Does it only crash on it, or on any map? Does it crash on small or medium maps?
Was the map already in the mod, or did you add it on top of the mod?

Yes, it crashes on huge and gigantic maps; I added it after.

Yes, there is such a problem; it is related to the fact that the game uses only 2 GB of video memory. If this limit is reached, the game crashes (on huge maps, there are a lot of objects, and they all have textures that "weigh" a certain amount of memory and fill the limited volume). Fewer crashes are noticed on smaller maps.
That is, if you have, for example, a GTX 1070 video card with 8 GB of memory, then its effectiveness will be = 2 GB.

Here, on the forum, they suggest an option to expand from 2 GB to 4 GB, but they write that it does not always work correctly. I am afraid to start expanding the used video memory so as not to completely break everything.

Good day, I've encountered a clear problem. I have a clean version of 3.1 installed, and I took the mod link from Boosty. However, following the instructions in the archive, I can't get the game to launch through the H5_Game_Pest application at all. All files are intact, and the game is installed correctly. I've been struggling for two hours and can't figure out why it won't launch. Please help...

Update: Maybe I didn't fully understand the "duplicate" thing. Does it mean completely copying the root folder and then moving the folders from the archive into it? I thought I just needed to replace the root folders...

Is there an option in the mod to extract only the artifacts? I'm really tired of the standard set in the fifth game, compared to the previous installments.
I'll dig around myself, but maybe they're also added by editing the executable.

Is there an option in the mod to extract only the artifacts? I'm really tired of the standard set in the fifth game, compared to the previous installments.

The new artifacts in the mod are:
- Editing the EXE file so that it recognizes more artifacts; in my case, this is 198.
- Creating a registry of artifacts in TYPES.XML, and assigning an ID to each artifact's name in another location.
- Creating a registry of artifacts in GameMechanics.
- Creating the artifacts themselves in GameMechanics, along with their characteristics (available attributes: Attack, Defense, Magic, Knowledge, Morale, Luck).
- Creating their images in Textures.
- Creating their names and descriptions in Text.
- Creating their appearance on the adventure map in MapObjects.
- Creating links to them in the map object so that information about them appears when highlighted.
- Editing the list of artifacts so that they are included in the list (the "Any" list).
- Each map that you want to play with the new artifacts needs to be rewritten. At the end of the map file ("map"), there is a list of available artifacts on the map ("Available"). You either need to close this list completely so that everything is available, or manually add all the new artifacts to the list of available artifacts on the map. I usually make all artifacts available so that I don't have to enter everything new, because there are many of them, more than 50.
