Cool! But I just like duels.

And overall, the duel mode still has a long way to go before it reaches perfection.

In general, the duel mode still has a long way to go before it's perfect.

Well, not exactly, but I'd like to be able to recruit troops myself, up to a certain number, and heroes too!!:)

by the way, can I ask about combat? Sometimes the computer seems to restore its units' health using some kind of "ghost" effect. How does that work?

When a ghost attacks a creature with mana, it drains mana from the target and adds it to its own life. P.S. There is a separate thread for discussing Necropolis; please ask similar questions in the relevant threads next time. Sincerely, Alan.

Guys, sorry for my lack of skill, but how do you split up troops? I figured it out in Heroes 3 and 4, but I'm still playing Heroes 5 like a newbie... :eek:

Dear new forum users, please use the search function. I've answered this question about 10 times already.

Hello everyone!
I haven't played Heroes since the fourth version came out, because I think it's an awful game, not Heroes 3.5 or 3.7 (in my opinion, those are the best strategy games). I haven't had time to play the fifth one, although I knew it was released a long time ago. Now I bought the disc, and I was just shocked by what they did :)))
I registered only because I wanted to support Katrine! I completely agree with him/her! All the drawbacks that I would like to express have been clearly noted by this person.
Now, regarding the topic, I see that the discussion has already gone quite far from the original topic. So, I would like to ask the expert comrades, what has already been done in the updates to address these shortcomings, because I would like to know what good things I will see after these updates? I'm not asking you to list all the fixes that they address, just the most important ones from what was mentioned here as drawbacks (in this topic).
And another question, maybe I'm missing something, but is there really no random map generator in this part??? And how can you even play for several years now if there are only a dozen maps, and what is the point of multiplayer now??? Even if they draw a thousand maps, you can still look at them and study all the nuances...

Now, regarding the topic, I see that the discussion has already strayed quite far from the original intent. So, I would like to ask our expert colleagues what has already been done in the updates to address these shortcomings, because I would like to know what good things I will ultimately see after these updates. I am not asking you to list all the fixes that have been implemented; just the most important ones from what was mentioned here (in this topic) as drawbacks.
And another question: maybe I'm missing something, but is there really no random map generator in this version??? And how can you even play for several years now if there are only about ten maps, and what is the point of multiplayer now??? Even if they draw a thousand maps, you can still examine them all and study all the nuances...

Firstly, it's unclear which drawbacks you are referring to???
Secondly, most of them have already been fixed in three patches!
Thirdly, the map generator is already available!
Fourthly, all the answers to your questions can be found on our forum!

I wish you good luck in exploring our best website on the internet!

I deliberately didn't rewrite what Katrine described clearly enough.
The most important ones I noticed after playing for a couple of hours:
- The dynamics are lost - now, to move around the map, you need to move the screen with the mouse (and for some reason, it moves much slower than with the arrow keys, and the arrow keys are simply not very convenient!)
- I don't know why, but the battlefield itself doesn't seem as successful to me; these squares could have been replaced with hexagons!
- I don't even want to talk about the Castle... :(( To do something, you need to click a bunch of completely unnecessary buttons!!! They could have thought a little and replaced the buttons with associative objects, such as, for example, buildings directly in the Castle entry mode.
- The hero's view settings... one can only guess what prevented them from making a human model and placing artifacts on it...
As for magic, one can only guess... it's unclear what it is and how it works now (although I'm not a newbie in the Heroes series), there are few spells.
In short, guys, you tried, but you released a raw, untested version!! There are a lot of nuances that any self-respecting company would have fixed for the convenience of players before the final version was released!
Thank you for the answer, I would also like to check out this random map generator.... I have a feeling that it won't be perfect either :))

By the way, could you tell me where this random map generator is?
I installed all the updates, now the version is 1.3, I can't find the generator anywhere... :((

You probably won't find it; the generator will be released in November along with the expansion pack:rolleyes:. In version 1.3, there's only a Map Editor.

There is only a pseudo-random map generator for now... :rolleyes:

Our mapmakers will do it for us:cool:!!

Maps will practically lose their meaning with the release of the map generator.

Maps will practically lose their meaning with the release of the map generator.

that is, if it's a good one and not just some random thing.
