Guys, where is the download link for the map? I don't see it in the first post.

Thank you very much.

problem with mission 5: Inghir and Linna somehow start at level 1, making it impossible to complete, and I also seem to have the third bonus, which is summoning Ilm-Hijdra?

I'm currently on the 2nd mission, and so far, I'm quite enjoying it. I hope the author has more content in store and will share it with fans:smile13:
Mission 2.
Since no one is rushing things, which is quite pleasant, the first difficulty arises after capturing the Orcish city. I should note that there is absolutely no mention of Ilfina in the mission objectives, and it's impossible to complete the mission without a second hero, because after going through the portal from the Orcish castle, it's impossible to return. Also, the emerging objective states that the Golden Grove city cannot be surrendered. But then, there's simply no one to defend all this territory. Therefore, my suggestion to the author is to include Ilfina in the list of mission quests; sometimes, it turns out that there is no need to free a hero from prison, as I've encountered in other scenarios.
So, after capturing the Orcish castle, no one attacks, so you can safely relocate Ilfina with the entire army to this city, surrender the Elven troops from the two cities to Aeron, and station her in the Orcish city to accumulate 2-3-4 weeks' worth of reinforcements. Considering the various levels of dwellings nearby, this will be more than enough to easily defeat Krag, who will appear after the hero goes through the one-way portal. He emerges from the portal the day after that and appears near his former castle. I personally had to replay because I wanted to do everything quickly, but it turns out there's no way back from "the other side." And another question: if Ilfina doesn't appear anywhere else (or will she appear in later missions?), then there's not much point in leveling her up; she reached level 15 with me by the time I fought Krag.
After capturing the last orange castle, all the money disappears, so you have to quickly sell resources on the market to acquire at least a ship. By the way, the shipyard doesn't become active unless both conditions are met: capturing this 2nd castle and defeating Krag. In my first unsuccessful attempt, I captured the city but didn't defeat Krag. And at the end, on the northwestern island, the battle against Tenedre becomes an easy task if Aeron has accumulated a good number of troops and you haven't tried to complete the map in about 10 days.

In the second mission, there’s a bug. I clear the entire map, reach the Shadow Tree, attack it, and kill it, but nothing happens.

Mission 3 is generally a pleasant walk and an opportunity to level up a couple of heroes, but there are some issues with mission 4. As mentioned above, having a cartographer's hut is very helpful, as you can simultaneously manage your affairs and explore the geographical features of the Necromancer and Orc territories. It's worth the 4,000 gold. Because, although it's not explicitly stated in the mission description, it turns out that if the Orcs take even one of your cities, it's game over. Therefore, after clearing the Necromancer lands, when you prepare to march on the Orcs, you need to clearly see where your forces should block the passages to your Necropolises. If you simply rush to take the Orcs' castles, the AI will send some unit into your lands while your army is distracted. And they seem to have good logistics, plus Argath the Tracker is a relatively high-level unit that you won't be able to catch. There is a prison on the map with the hero Kifrah, level 1. I don't know why it's there at all, or whether it's necessary to free her: again, it's not mentioned in the mission description. I rescued her, but with Aeron at level 29 and the secondary hero Lucretia at level 25 (I used her specifically against the Orcs to eliminate Argath or Tilshek), a level 1 hero is clearly unnecessary. All the Necromancer castles are taken quite easily; essentially, they only have one hero, Ravenna, who will retreat to the field when in danger. After that, there will be no more problems. The Orcs will NOT enter your lands until you cross any of the empty garrisons on the border. Therefore, if you enjoy long games, you can safely recover and develop after defeating the Necromancers; the Barbarians will not attack on their own. Southeast of the starting castle, there is a Dungeon. Again, there are no mandatory requirements related to it. But when you enter, there will be a message about traps and a new task will appear, so I personally thought, "forget it," and replayed that part without entering the Dungeon, since it's not required. I thought that enemies might emerge from there and attack my rear, but no, there is no portal on that side. Between the eastern and central Necromancer cities, there is a two-way portal. In my case, there were about 7 Archangels, level 75, on one side, and various dragons on the other. I recommend going through this portal, as there is a very good set of artifacts there. You can level up a supporting Necromancer hero on the Archangels, and then transfer all the artifacts to Aeron for later use. By the way, it's a pity that the artifacts cannot be carried over to subsequent missions.

Overall, it's a very well-designed campaign, and I enjoyed it. Mission 5 is probably the most challenging.

In the second mission, the script breaks if I reach the shaman's hut before capturing a town.

In the second mission, a script error occurs if you reach the shaman's hut before capturing the town.

And there, by the way, the dialogue at the beginning specifically mentions that you should capture the town first, and then deal with the shaman. So, when I played, I immediately went for the town instead of looking for her.

Mission 3 glitch: after destroying all the cities, a demon attacks me. I kill it, but nothing happens. What should I do next?

Video walkthrough of this campaign with a hero is available; a walkthrough of the second part, also with a hero, is planned.
Aeron turned out to be very wild:smile13:

I am creating a story-driven mod. Its action takes place on a fictional island and has no relation to the plot of the fifth Heroes game. You can download the almost final version here:

Attention to everyone who downloaded it before 05/06/09: you will have to download it again, as there is a critical error.

1.OF: Heart of the World

Unfortunately, the link is not working.

The fifth installment is hectic, with many heroes and castles. It took a lot of effort, and the levels only give 10. I maxed out all the elves' super ability. Although, I don't know how to use Tactical Elf effectively.

Damn it. Update the link. It doesn't work!
