The version of the game Heroes of Might and Magic V has been on sale for a long time. Sellers present it as an "alpha version" or even a "demo version" of the game, although in reality, it is one of the first working versions of the game that is more than a year old. At one time, during the development process, this version became accessible to people who leaked it. About a year later, the version was uploaded to the internet, and now it has been copied onto CDs for sale. It is understandable that fans of the series are eager to try out the fifth installment of the game. However, we must warn all potential buyers of these discs that, due to its age, this version does not even provide a rough idea of the game – it contains outdated graphics, a schematic Gameplay, and is practically unplayable due to its instability. Therefore, Nival Interactive urges fans of the Heroes of Might and Magic series not to waste their money and time on this version, which cannot provide either information about the fifth installment of the series or simple enjoyment.

How to distinguish a pirated version from a licensed one:
  • Buy the disc at stores affiliated with 1C:Multimedia. Their lists can be found here http://games.1c.ru/?type=sales [in these stores, 1C guarantees the purchase of a licensed disc]
  • The only online stores affiliated with 1C:Multimedia are ozone and balero
  • The original Heroes of Might and Magic V disc has a blue semi-circular edge on the right + the presence of logos of Nival Interactive and Ubisoft. Inside the box there is a coupon for participation in the "Postcard Promotion".
!!! Nival Interactive guarantees installation of patches and technical support (support) only for buyers of the licensed version of the game. !!!

So, it's a good pirated version!!!!!!! With a Russian translation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, right now the regular English version is available for download... As mudvaLing already said, the translation was done using a program...
Not by a person, which is why it's so poor... This is just to get the best of it first. But we are smart people, and we won't encourage the work of pirates, right??? So, we'll wait for the official version!:D :D

Hello everyone! Does anyone know what this is: 2 CDs, Russian and English versions, I don't know the quality of the translation, they say it's in English. Any thoughts?:confused:

To each their own. I encourage you to buy a license. I would personally buy the gift edition, but I don't think I can wait... :)

I agree with Voron, although I'm not without fault myself :). I recently bought it in an underpass for 150 rubles, and the phrase "Okay, I'll be somewhere between here and there" is worth quoting! Otherwise, it's a decent version.

Oh, well, many people won't buy it at all, and will download it from local networks instead.

Who are these many? A thousand people, two? Is this out of a multi-million fan base? No, even if another 5,000 buy a pirated copy, the project will still be profitable! I'm also sure there will be a new audience.

I'm not arguing! In the West, everyone will buy licensed copies, but here, many will prefer not to spend the money...
And regarding whether it will pay off (considering all the expansions...) - definitely!

Direct2Drive is a joke; patches and add-ons can't be installed on games downloaded this way, so it's only good for trying them out:)

I completely agree with you, gentlemen! Pirated copies are awful! I respect licensed versions! I only bought Heroes 5 because I waited for almost half a year. Otherwise, I always buy licensed versions, and as far as I know, Russian licensed versions are protected by StarForce, so downloading everything through the network shouldn't be a problem!

I bought it just to try it out! And the result?! Today I played all day while also being on the forum! And yesterday, I stayed up until 3 am, starting at 8 pm!!! Nival should be killed for making such great games!!!
Oh, I agree =))

I can't stop playing; I get out of the game, go to the forum, and then go back in again and again...

And I'm also aiming for the gold medal :D :D :D So I shouldn't forget about my studies either =)

Congratulations! But the accursed Russian and English languages stood in my way of getting that medal! I never understood them, starting in the first grade, but algebra, geometry, and all that other stuff came easily to me!

It is expected to be available in online stores with a "Ukrainian license" on May 20th, and it will cost 65 UAH. There are two options: either on DVD or on 4 CDs, the price is the same... :)

What does "with a Ukrainian license" mean? Is it 1C+Multitrade?

1C, yes, but Multitrade – maybe...
