Posts from What artifacts could be added to the next expansion pack?

No matter how much I play Heroes 5, I keep looking back at Heroes 3. I miss those artifacts that provide resources (like the ore cart), parts of the Legion, and many others. I also had a crazy idea – to create a set of artifact sets (from 2 or 3 sets), and you could dedicate an entire campaign to it. What do you think?

I don't really feel a lack of artifacts. I think the quantity is sufficient; everything that could be conceived has already been conceived. Perhaps artifacts that grant some interesting abilities to the hero, rather than the usual things like increasing attributes, etc.

A set from sets? What's the point? Let's say you combine a set from "The Succession Wars" and a set from "Shades of Darkness" (it seems possible in terms of slots), and what will we get from that? IMHO, it's pointless. In general, of course, it's possible to create a campaign dedicated to the coolest set – the set of dragon artifacts. Or a set for necromancers, similar to "The Shadow of Death." But I don't think it would be super interesting...

No, I don't think new artifacts are necessary. It would be better if they made the drop rate of new artifacts more realistic. I've played for a long time, and I still haven't found some of the new artifacts. A set from a set? It's better to be able to collect one set, but here there are two. It won't work.
P.S. Dark and light era artifacts are incompatible in terms of slots. The dark faction has a runic battle axe as one of its artifacts, and the light faction has a unicorn horn bow. Both of them fit in the same slot.

In principle, you are right, but I still miss Armageddon's Blade. It's a habit. And I also calculated the artifacts; it turns out I can collect a few more sets.

By the way, the topic title isn't entirely accurate. If there are any future installments, it will be Heroes VI (Kingdoms and Online don't count), but that will be a sequel, not an expansion... Never mind.

A few more good artworks wouldn't hurt, but they need to be original, as IMO it's no longer interesting to create artworks that simply increase attributes; there are already plenty of those...

Why add them? There are already quite a few. What’s missing are only artifacts that increase the effect of runic magic.

Back then, there was art that affected the warcries and/or bloodlust of Orcs, as well as the mini-arts of mages, etc. No, it wouldn't be entirely fair for art to be useful only to one race; perhaps the only exception is the Necromancer's amulet. However, there is the Pendant of Skill, which does affect runes...

And what if we were to brainstorm and come up with a skill that would only be acquired upon obtaining a specific artifact? Or something particularly unique, such as an artifact that would allow you to simulate the following astronomical weeks, and a skill that, for a large amount of mana (200, for example), would allow you to change them?

I'm just amazed at how much people want to fantasize... whether they fantasize or not, if they don't come up with something on Nighon, then all fantasies are worthless. (sorry for the tautology)

Yes, it’s a creative process. And besides, I’m sure that someone from Nival is browsing the forums, or even organizing them, in order to find that very thing that we need in the new expansion pack. It’s like a prayer – when we pray, we don’t always believe that God will hear us...

It seems to me that at least 2 more sets are needed – one that enhances elemental magic (emerald boots + phoenix feather cloak + icicle + something that enhances lightning) and the opposite one (lightning protection ring + bear cloak + silanni cloak + something against fire)....:smile43:

Oh! I remembered! The trident of titans enhances lightning! But I can't remember what protects against fire....

From fire, a cloak made of phoenix feathers. Thanks, that's a cool idea. How much of a boost do you suggest?

So, Heroes V has been officially discontinued for a long time, but the fan community isn't planning on abandoning this game anytime soon, and as a result, they've created a huge number of artifacts, including composite ones.

Well, there's another topic on the forum dedicated to artifacts. In general, I think that new artifacts will make the game more engaging and interesting, and if we also come up with collectible sets, it will be simply amazing!!!
