Well, add me to your green list of participants.
P.S. I'm off to find Might and Magic V: 1.0 -> 1.4 -> 1.5.
New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?
Dear friends, please clarify for me, a person who knows absolutely nothing about Heroes 5 – what exactly should I ask the sellers? I’m already getting confused by the versions, especially 5.1.2 – what kind of beast is that? Is it version 1.2 or something else? And what should be in the original files that are patched to the desired version? What is the name? Thank you in advance.
Don't buy version 5.1.2! Yes, it's version 1.2, but it's just a pirated version! (Thanks to Alan for the information)
The order is as follows:
You buy the disc: "Heroes of Might and Magic V"
version: 5.1.0! And definitely don't buy versions 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 or 5.1.3, because these are pirated versions, and patches may not install on them..
Install patch 5.1.4, download it here. (97.6 MB)
then patch 5.1.41. here (6.7 MB)
then patch 5.1.5 here (28.7 MB)
That's it! After that, you can start enjoying it.. :D
Well, add me to your green :) list of participants.
P.S. I'm going to look for HoMM 5: 1.0 -> 1.4 -> 1.5 :).
Due to temporary problems, the save has been uploaded via a link; it will be posted as an attachment later.
Let's slow down. The licensed version of Heroes is sold ONLY in version 1.0!!!! All 1.2 and later are pirated versions.
You need to ask for the original Heroes 5. There is also the Heroes 5: Hammers of Fate expansion, version 2.0. And Heroes 5: Silver Edition, which contains the original game and the expansion. There are no other OFFICIAL, LICENSED versions.
Patches are installed as has been written many times, 1.0-1.4-1.5. And then we play the tournament.)
2 Kamikaze, send me your email in a private message, and I'll send you the save file.
2 Snowball, you've been accepted.
2 Alexander G.K. You can't play on version 1.1. Only on 1.5. The save has been sent. Replays are only available in version 1.5 and are created after the battle (see my answer to Kyle).
