Hold Shift

I have the "Armageddon" spell in the list of available spells in the Mage Guild, but it doesn't appear in the heroes' spellbook. Please tell me what actions I need to take to learn it. Simply entering the city doesn't help.

You need skillful Chaos magic. And reading the manual so as not to ask fundamental questions again.

I didn't know where to write this. I read on one site that there's an add-on for the 5th game that includes Nagas, Medusas, and Lizardmen. Can you tell me which one it is?

There definitely isn't an add-on like that. Maybe it's a mod? It's possible that there's something similar in NCF.

In the Chinese Heroes Online, there are Naga, Medusa, and Lizardmen.
I found this nonsense and some artwork as well.

We took a break for six months and then started playing 3v3 duels again – two questions arose, and I would be grateful for clarification.

1) The Lava Dragon has fire resistance listed in its properties, but it still explodes on a fire trap and gets hit by a fireball. Is this a bug on my end, or is it intentional by the developers?

2) The Cerberus (the second possible upgrade) is supposed to bite three adjacent cells, but I encountered a situation where it bit five creatures, and some of them were even one cell away from it. Again, what's going on?

Thank you in advance.

It shouldn't. I think it's a bug. Try installing a patch or something...

The second upgrade not only has three heads but also dragon's breath, so it's working as intended.

Thank you very much.

Does the "shooting" skill (+20% damage) from the attack skill tree apply to the ballista?

If she has the "archery" skill, then it should be possible. But I haven't checked.

Please help! I have the English version of the game installed, and as a result, all downloaded maps only display punctuation marks instead of text. What can be done about this, and how?

You can:
a) download English maps (like Dark Messian Mod)
b) buy the Russian version of the game
c) try to localize the English version.

Thank you for the advice. Are there any well-known methods to complete variant B?

It involves a lot of work. You need to get the Russian text files and the Russian executable file.
