Didn't really grab me; I don't have a strong desire to play it again.

For me, it's the opposite.
I got into it.
Initially, I completed all the campaigns on easy mode, and now I've started replaying them on hard mode, while also changing the heroes (instead of a warrior, I'm playing a mage; instead of tears, I'm leveling up blood, and vice versa).
Plus, there's new dynasty weapons.
So, I'm happy with the expansion; I'm playing through it now.

but "Heroes Online" is on the way, and they plan to integrate new gameplay elements. Maybe all nine factions will finally meet there?

I apologize for the off-topic comment. But in Heroes Online, there will only be 2 factions: humans and necromancers (at least initially).

That's exactly it – only initially. I read in a blog about further plans to introduce new Factions.

I don't like this game: the mechanics for resurrecting units are too simple and accessible; the ability to hire creatures from all cities in one location; the ease of converting buildings; the simplified city building system; the reduced number of resources, which has weakened the game's management aspect due to its flawed implementation; the relative weakness of skilled warriors compared to the main ones. The skill system is a debatable point. On the one hand, you are your own master. On the other hand, it's somehow a bit boring. None of the above has been changed by the expansion, so I'm out.

I bought the digital version on Book. When I launch the game, this is what I see.

First question, how do I switch to the Russian interface, because I'm not very good at English? But I understand that I need to click on "Play", and this picture appears.

And that's it, I waited for 2 hours, but nothing happens.
I'll say right away that I installed patch 2.1, and this message appeared.


What should I do next?

Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner. Then, in the drop-down menu, select 'Settings'. In the window that appears, click on 'English' and choose 'Russian' from the drop-down list. Before closing the window, uncheck 'Enable Cloud Save Synchronization for supported games'. That's it, restart the launcher. After this, the language will change to Russian, and the game should launch without save synchronization, which was causing issues for you.

and it's better to buy it on Steam. and it's better to get the compilation (although I haven't bought it myself). believe me, it's worth it.:smile01:

Can you tell me, if I buy the complete collection on Steam now, will my dynasty, which I developed in the game purchased from Bookworm, still be accessible on Steam?

Could you please tell me, if I buy the complete collection during the stream, will my dynasty, which I developed in the game purchased from Book Depository, still be available for the stream?
These systems are incompatible, so it won't be possible to transfer progress from one dynasty to another.

Hey, can you please advise on this situation: I have two licenses on two computers in different cities. There are three people who want to play. Is it possible for two of them to play on one computer, and the third to join online? Or is there any other way to do this? (Besides buying a third license).

Yes, of course, but then you will only be able to play with owners of the Steam version.

And also with those who bought the game outside the CIS.

So, is the Ubi version compatible with Steam?

Does this mean the Ubi version is compatible with Steam?

As far as I know, there are only 2 servers. A Russian-speaking one and a global one. The first one is played by people who bought the game at a reduced price (i.e., the boxed version or from a Russian-language digital store). The second one is for everyone else.

Steam versions of the games also differ in price depending on the region. For example, in Ukraine, the cost in dollars, when converted to hryvnias, is approximately 1.5 times less than the cost in euros in Europe. In Russia, as far as I know, the cost is twice as low as in Europe. And Ubi's price is higher than the European price.

Could someone summarize the plot of Shades of Darkness? I just finished playing Dance of Darkness, but due to lag, I can't play Shades of Darkness (I can't place heroes; only from the main campaign – Anastasia, Kirill, Anton...). And even if that weren't the case, I can't enter the portal, which makes the campaigns unplayable. I'm curious about what Sandro will do this time.
