Russian gaming portal "Battle People" interviewed Nival about the upcoming Heroes of Might and Magic V addon, Tribes of the East. Here are several new facts from it:

- There will be new global map buildings, including Spell Shop (to learn 4-5 level spells) and Sunken Temple (sea object: fight for gold/spells/artefacts)
- Example of combined artifacts:
Armor of Dwarven Kings (4 artifacts):
Bonus for 2 items: +40% magic proof for all creatures
Bonus for 2 items for Rune Mage: 10% Spell Power increase
Bonus for 4 items: Before battle your troops get Expert Stoneskin & Expert Deflect Arrows for 10 turns.
- New terrain (for orcs). Also it said that Ubi didn't want to create another terrain, but Nival insisted.
- Alternate upgrade and original upgrade will be available at the same time, for every creature individually. Also, player can re-train one to another.
- New campaigns featuring Necromancer Arantir, Orc chief Gorthai (rough spelling) and Mage Zehir.

There will be a prologue Orcish campaign, to get familiar with this faction.
- There are no plans for sea creatures or any other new neutrals.
- We can expect new multiplayer mode.
- There will be no "direct IP" multiplayer game support.
- There will be WAIT button. But when - is going to be surprise.
