I won't list specific tracks, but personally, I found the tracks from The Lord of the Rings to be very fitting. I added a few to the game, but more often I just turn off the in-game music and play a playlist of soundtracks in a separate player – I do this because I don't like the music being interrupted by constant switching.

Winds of Winter - theme for the Academy.
Mhysa - theme for the Sylvan.
Son of the Harpy - theme for the Dark Elf battle.
High Sparrow - theme for the Dungeon/Inferno/Necropolis.
I've indicated with a hyphen which faction I think these tracks suit best.

Hello everyone! I'm an old Heroes addict... of all the Heroes games... I started with the very first ones... If I were to rate all the Heroes games, it would be: First - okay Second - masterpiece Third - masterpiece Fourth - failure Fifth - masterpiece Sixth - failure Seventh - failure Regarding the Heroes of Might and Magic: Eva mod: I've tried versions 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and the latest 2.5.2. You guys are doing a great job, but unfortunately, there's an imbalance (for example, the Northern Bears that fired lightning bolts without having mana, which meant the lightning was infinite, making this unit a very powerful mage, combined with the javelin throwers who set up fences... it was a blatant cheat). Plus, the game constantly crashes (mostly during battles). All of this made the game uninteresting (uncomfortable). :/ To my great disappointment, after installing version 2.5.2, I crashed in the very first battle. (There were no new creatures in the battle, just scouts against a hero with air elementals. The crash occurred when the hero simply attacked the scouts). Just to clarify, I have a new Windows 7 installation, the game is installed fresh, and only two mods are installed: the Eva mod + unlocking all heroes (I like Reylag, I confess). I've checked the thread about possible crashes, and it crashes whether Eternal Essence is enabled or disabled

I have a rather bold question. Is there a mod that allows you to replace a creature from a faction? I want it to become neutral. Is it possible to do that?

So, you want to make all main creatures neutral? This isn't in EWA; I don't know of such a mod, but I can recommend the closest modifications:

Could you specify which Lord of the Rings tracks exactly you like most? Since there are quite a lot of them overall

Maybe add the New Text mod to EWA?
/topic/12188/

A controversial mod. I think the question about adding this mod is better addressed to the mod author: mrHalfer http://forum.heroesworld.ru/member.php?u=38801
It's at his discretion.

I used a hyphen to indicate where I think these tracks fit.

I installed the addon, and with the improved AI enabled (the Eternal one) - my game crashes with a small probability when attacking mobs. I'm attaching a save as an example; the hero is standing right next to a mob. If I disable Eternal AI in the launcher, the game doesn't crash.
Save for example; this happened on 3 different maps.
The game at the time of installation was clean, version 3.1.
PS: Please send me version 2.5 (the previous one). I'll check there.

In versions 2.51 and 2.52, these and other bugs were fixed; please update the modification

Please add the ability to enable/disable not just a couple of mods (AI, Combined Armies), but all others included in the pack (it would be absolutely ideal if there were descriptions for them).
Sometimes, for example, I'd like to play with improved AI, but without new units among neutral creatures. In general, I want more variety.

Regarding options. It's better to voice these questions during the stream on January 11th

Exactly. We tried regular Heroes V via Hamachi six months ago and it didn't work; unlikely that anything has changed now.

NEWS FOR 10.01.2017

Precisely on this point. Many think that the EWA modification is convenient and intended only for single-player walkthroughs of maps, Campaigns, and scenarios. However, in reality, this is not the case. EWA is suitable both for single-player adventures and for playing over the internet, so we are posting video instructions that will allow you to play Heroes V (with or without mods) online using Hamachi or Gameranger!

Attention: in order to play the EWA modification online, you and your opponents must have identical game files and launcher settings. Modification and map versions must be completely identical; this rule also applies to third-party mods.

As for the EWA heroes mod, I tried 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and the latest 2.5.2... constant game crashes (mostly during battle) reduced all interest (comfort) to zero... to my great regret, after installing version 2.5.2, I got a crash in the very first battle; there were no new creatures in the battle, just scouts against a hero with air elements. The crash happened when the hero hit the scouts with a simple attack) Just to be clear, Windows is a fresh install of Seven, the game was freshly installed, and only two mods are active: EWA mod + unlocking all heroes (I love Raelag, I'm guilty).

Colleague, you answered your own question. It's all because of the mod you installed to unlock all heroes - it caused the conflicts. Try without it. Also, pay close attention to the launcher settings.

NEWS FOR 11.01.2017

Friends, you might have wondered: why does the 3rd upgrade of creatures in "Epic War Age" (the one considered the 4th - obtained in the fort) have such strong or even imba abilities? The answer is very simple: they need to be balanced. Therefore, today (January 11) at 18:00 (MSK), there will be a stream - balance for Heroes 5 EWA. Denis (the mod creator) and Remix (a professional streamer) will try to do this. Come to the stream:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjvCUBkIgm0

to submit your interesting suggestions or just look at the 3rd (4th) upgrade of all Factions. Peace and positivity to everyone! May the force be with you!

I'll try to explain:o. I liked the RTF mod with the dark dwarves. It seems to replace Inferno. Is it possible to make these creatures neutral and not replace the Inferno faction?

imbalance (for example, the Northern Bears, which dealt lightning damage but had no mana, resulting in infinite lightning attacks, making this unit a very powerful mage, combined with javelin throwers who created barriers... it was an obvious cheat.
The imbalance will be gradually fixed. We will consider alternative fortress upgrades today.

plus, constant game crashes (mainly during battles)
all of this reduced the interest (comfort) to zero..
:/

to my great regret, after installing version 2.5.2, I experienced a game crash in the very first battle.
(there were no new creatures in the battle, just scouts against a hero with air elementals. The crash occurred when the hero attacked with a simple attack from the scouts)
This is very surprising. Because all the issues that users complained about before have been fixed. Currently, neither my acquaintances nor streamers during five-hour matches have experienced any crashes. If you find a pattern in the crashes, please attach the save file before the battle with the "bugged" creature.

Colleague, you answered your own question. The issue lies in the mod you installed to unlock all heroes – it’s causing conflicts. Try playing without it. Also, pay close attention to the launcher settings.

Okay, then the question is, is there a mod (guaranteed to be working) for Eva that unlocks all heroes?

For example,
NHF - New Heroes for Heroes V 3.1
Does it work normally in Eva?

That's actually a very good question. To be honest, I dream of the same thing: that new neutral creatures appear without replacing the faction. Unfortunately, it's not that simple, but I hope Denis will come up with something over time

Also, I will be online because there is something to say about balancing the creatures. If anyone is interested, come to the stream!

Nargott, if you join too, it will be amazing! Knowing your enthusiasm and energy in fixing the balance, I can hardly imagine what the stream will end with. Note that the goal of the stream is a constructive discussion of the balance of the 4th tier, which is currently really unbalanced, so any reasonable suggestions are welcome.
And also, your new topic /topic/12208/ is quite interesting. Are you planning to bring it up for discussion today?

ok. then the question is, is there a mod (guaranteed verified) for ЕВА that unlocks all heroes, for example NHF - new heroes for Heroes V 3.1
does it work normally in ЕВА?

Not at the moment, but I remind you that the assembly is constantly being improved, and perfection has no limit. Stay tuned for news.

Could you please specify which tracks from The Lord of the Rings you like the most? [B] There are quite a few of them in total.
In my opinion, the main thing here is not to use the main musical themes with motifs that are a hallmark of the work. In The Lord of the Rings, these hallmarks are the following tracks for me:
Howard Shore - The Breaking Of The Fellowship
Howard Shore - The Bridge Of Khazad Dum
Howard Shore - Minas Morgul
Howard Shore - A Storm Is Coming
(if you listen from the very beginning, you might not recognize it, but at 00:32 everyone will understand what it is and where it's from)
Howard Shore - Into the West

And these ones are quite suitable:
Elven city: Howard Shore - Lothlorien and/or Howard Shore - Evenstar (I removed the "shamanic dance" sound effect in the elven city and replaced it with the in-game sound of waves for Evenstar)
main menu: Enya - May It Be
for battles (you choose for yourselves): Howard Shore - A Knife In The Dark and/or Howard Shore - Amon Hen

and there are many other tracks.

The same applies to the Game of Thrones mentioned above - using the main themes is not a good idea because it's like advertising the series - we shouldn't be thinking about another project - it pulls us out of the atmosphere of the game. There are many interesting things in Game of Thrones, but the main theme should definitely not be used (to be honest, I once put it in the dwarf city, but that was in the past :D)

Yes, this is excellent music! Very high quality! I remember that in one of the forum threads (unfortunately, I forgot where), there was a discussion about the possibility of creating a map-scenario: "The Lord of the Rings". I think this idea is worth pursuing.
