On the official forum, there is a repost of a newsletter (thanks st14z) that was sent recently to Heroes fans who have registered their game.

"Creating patches and additional content for Heroes 5 has been a bumpy road up to now, with the multiple masters required for the game, as well as the development of the add-on :)

We are still progressing on the tracks laid out a few months ago. We still have quite a few features being developed, and to be delivered in patch 1.5.

Among them, the duel preset editor is probably one of the most appealing. You will be able to tailor your own hero and play with him on multiplayer duels. We will also expand the map editor with a campaign option: you will be able to link maps together and create mini-campaigns, as complex as you like.

Nival is also working on a tournament tool that will allow anyone to host a small tournament and will manage the rankings between the players.

At this stage we are still gathering ideas and suggestions from the communities: a summary of ideas was done by the French community and another one was sent from Russia. All these ideas are considered and will enter our patch planning if we find them interesting. Of course, during all this time, balance tweaks will still happen! :)"

The message didn't find its way to the Celestial Heavens headquarters, so we suspect there might have been some sort of distribution problem.
