Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1. Auto-translated

Or maybe, in addition to the warrior-mage, we could create another hero, a "salt merchant"? I mean, give him a special ability so that different creatures from different factions would accompany him, and we could even take inspiration for such a hero from the game itself.

What if, in addition to the warrior-mage, we created another hero, a "salt merchant"? We could give him a special ability that allows him to be accompanied by different creatures from different factions. We could even draw inspiration for such a hero from the game itself.

Could you be more specific about this idea?

So, when can we expect the new version?

Be serene, like a lotus flower at the foot of the Temple. It will be released next week.

Could you please provide more details about this concept?

Well, there's a storyline on one map about a character named Sar-something, who is the son of a human and an elf, studied magic, was friends with Dark Elves and necromancers, studied demonology, and then died, and everyone declared themselves his heir. You could create a character based on this story, and use this backstory to explain why he travels with a diverse army.

What and to whom, for example?
Of course, there's a mess with these icons right now. Maybe we should work on them in version 0.82.

I haven't figured out yet who I can give them to.

I think some of these icons were used by Nival in the release! :smile08:

Perhaps, but I don’t remember any like that.

Some icons are definitely missing. Thank you.

Some icons are definitely missing. Thanks.

So, the ones that are definitely missing need to be added! :smile25:

By the way, which ones are missing? I think they all exist, or at least they're somewhere in the release resources! :smile24:

Didn't expect that? :p

Why not add a feature that allows you to temporarily boost the abilities of weekly summoned creatures, like the Mirabelle pirates? Then their skills would actually be useful.

Or, for example, a mage who can summon gargoyles once a week using mana... :rolleyes:

What exactly did MegaAI add to the game? Will it now be even harder to defeat the AI opponents?

The AI will make more optimal choices for its own development.

This mod enhances the artificial intelligence in Heroes 5. The main difference is that the AI now more often chooses skills that are useful for its race and skills that it knows how to use well (and most often, these are simply passive skills). So, you can now encounter Retribution with Elves and Knights, and Necromancers like to take Fire Warriors... Also, the AI now likes to visit the library, hires only its own heroes (if there is a choice in the tavern), and so on... At the same time, the mod does not affect the game's difficulty settings (similar to the Classic AI mod); it only improves the enemy heroes.

Could you tell me, in percentage terms, what Konstantin's chance of joining is compared to a regular hero?
