Addition from 10.03.2006: Nival posted some translated information about artifacts on the official Russian website:

Artifacts

Artifacts can be found on the strategic map; they help heroes during battles or travels. Each hero has a limited number of slots (9 in total), but possesses a bottomless backpack. For example, you may find a sword, an axe, and a staff on the adventure map, but you cannot equip the hero with all these items simultaneously, so you will have to decide which one the hero will hold in their right hand and which will remain in the bag. However, you can change your hero's equipment at any time.

Artifacts are of great importance, helping to successfully navigate critical situations; furthermore, they can grant heroes abilities that they have not yet managed to master.

Here are a few artifacts that you may find during your travels.

Turban of Enlightenment

Turban of Enlightenment allows you to increase your experience by 20%. This is a very valuable artifact for inexperienced heroes, as it helps them quickly reach a new level.

Necklace of Victory

Necklace of Victory adds +2 to Spellpower and the ability to attack the enemy. This artifact is ideal for Sylvan heroes who want to balance their natural skills and abilities (Defense and Knowledge), or for Dungeon heroes who can refine their traditionally strong skills.

Trident of the Titans

Trident of the Titans increases the damage dealt by a hero's lightning-based spells by 50%. This artifact will be useful for any hero with magical abilities who wants to increase their power on the battlefield.

Wand of the Titans

The Wand is imbued with the energy of special spells, and they can be used once or several times, even if the hero has not yet learned these spells. If you find such an artifact during your search, it may prove very useful, especially for a hero who has not developed their magical abilities. The ability to use just one spell can fundamentally change the course of a battle.

Additions and corrections are welcome.

P.S. In the release of Heroes 5, the system and number of artifacts may be changed. Everything published here is based only on the beta version.

You can't do without a grail in a castle. I placed it, and I'm happy – it looks great! :)\nAnd the residents are happy too (and I'm happy – everything is built in the castle).\nI've been wanting to ask the gnome for a long time, what happened to the artifacts they were collecting???:confused:\nAlthough, I must say, it's quite a solid collection:cool:

That's right, there are a lot of artifacts from the gnomes, but there are no gnomes themselves... How is that possible????\nMaybe it's time to think about a surprise in the release??? Maybe this is the seventh faction????

It seems that in the fourth game, scrolls also resided in the left hand.

Oh! There are all sorts of creatures living there! A Shield should live there, that's for sure! Otherwise, you can't protect yourself from an axe with just a piece of paper :)

This piece of paper might contain a spell that will incinerate the axe's owner before he even raises it:):):):)

Whoa... In that case, you need to take the paper with the spell that will incinerate whoever wants to incinerate my shield with the spell on the paper in your left hand! :D :D :D But how will you swing the axe then!? :o :D

Uuuuuuuuuu..... Well, then you need to take a piece of paper with a spell in your right hand, a spell that will incinerate whoever wants to incinerate my shield, and hold the spell on the paper in your left hand! :D :D :D But how will I swing the axe then!? :o :D

And this is the most difficult part; you have to do everything at once, so that you can defend and attack at the same time... or even better, just charge straight in:D

In my opinion, most of the artifacts are taken from previous Heroes games... there's not much originality here.

Excuse me, but what kind of artifacts should be in the sequel of the series?

Dear user, is there a continuation of the series planned?????
Hmm....
Especially, there are many old and well-known heroes in the continuation of the series....

Well, still, the name and the number 5:eek:. Whether this is a continuation of the series is decided here.
Oh man, but what artifacts are needed? There seem to be enough already :)

thank you, I read it.
well, if only it was a 5...
I think that's wrong.
almost everything was copied from the third installment, and the heroes themselves were removed....
there's a classic that you just can't do without!
and the artifacts... well, yes... they're just standard...

Yeah, I completely agree...
They're stealing ideas from previous games, and it seems they lack the imagination to come up with their own, but on the other hand, we're familiar with them, which means it's easier to get used to them. :D
