  • I Can See the Sky!

    Ururam Tururam was able to see the sky in the demo of the game. Isn't it pretty? A couple of diehard players should consider doing the same in real-life...

  • Centaur by Ledroit

    menelor.jpg

    I couldn't resist to show you this gorgeous sketch of a centaur by Olivier Ledroit. Unfortunately, it comes from "L'univers féerique d'Olivier Ledroit" (The fairytale world of O.L.) an artbook published in 2005 which has nothing to do with Might and Magic or Heroes. Still, wouldn't it be nice to have

    Finally, it's revealed - Girls Play Heroes V. Popular forum member Milla aka. the Slayer ruins the myth that Heroes is just for guys. Thanks Milla.

  • Snow in Heroes V

    Snow in H5

    "There's already three snow textures in the game, but it's not enough to replace all the grass ones, so I snatched a few from some other games, this is just a test to see how nice heroes would look with snow, imagine the trees, water and everything else being snow

    Here is the lovely world map that comes with the Collector's Edition of Heroes V. If you look closely, it includes a few hints about the factions of an upcoming expansion pack (more about that later). Thanks Jerrie/Labyrinth.

  • Inferno TotE Guide

    Heroes V Inferno Guide: Vibes of the Least

    Over the course of two expansions, the poor Demons of the Infernal Realm have been smacked around, not only by every major faction of Ashan, but also by the majority of Heroes V players themselves. Since so much has changed for our warm-hearted friends since initial release, and more particularly since nobody else seems to have done so, I have taken it upon myself to once again speak in defense of this most hated and maligned faction. The basic

    Academy is one of the most customizeable factions with a counter for almost every strategy and a variety of possible tactics. As of TotE it gets a major overhaul, gaining access to even more abilities which allows extreme...

  • Skill Wheel 3.0.1 Update

    Aurelain sent me the newest version of the Skill Wheel (the page includes links to the various translations) with the following details:

    "People requested the feature of saving the Skillwheel configuration, so I implemented it. From now on, the Skillwheel will start with the settings from the previous time you used it. Furthermore, there is a right-click menu that gives you several advanced options. I also fixed three bugs in the skill relationship,...

  • Tribes of the East → A Murder of Crows

    Dear Brett: We were heartbroken to learn that you had a tough time playing the Tribes of the East expansion. It must have been very difficult for you to be so honest about your skills with strategy games. Especially after having said a year earlier that "most missions aren't very challenging" in the Hammers of Fate expansion. But don't despair, as the Heroes community...

  • Version 3.0 Skill Wheel

    All five versions of the Skill Wheel (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) have been updated based on version 3.0 of Heroes V, which is the release number of the Tribes of the East expansion. Their author Aurelain describes the various changes and improvements:

    • a major overhaul of the

  • New Sylvan Strategy

    As part of the faction debate started by Corribus, winterfate wrote a detailed strategy guide for the Sylvan town. Does our way to play a specific town changes over time? Do people play each town differently, or do they share the same tricks? Compare this article to the one Vlaad wrote last year to find...

  • Tribes of the East

    Let me open the new Tribes of the East section with a little information about the spells of the upcoming Heroes of Might and Magic V expansion. Some of them look familiar because their icons were included in the Hammers of Fate expansion, back when we thought a Naga town was in the work.

    The description of Sorrow is still missing, but I should be able to find something soon. You can check out...

  • In-Game Skill Wheel Mod

    Over at Elrath is a mod that allows you to add Aurelain's famous Skill Wheel to the Heroes V game interface. The Wheel is then accessible via a button on the hero dialog. No need to alt-tab out of the game or to hunt for those clumsy prinouts anymore. Edit: While the Elrath entry claims...

  • Skill Wheel Update

    Aurelain completed an important update of his Heroes of Might and Magic V Skill Wheel, the final one until a new faction is added to the game. I will let him describe the major changes:

    "The main feature is that skills are additive. You can now actually build your hero. And, more importantly, skills that are inaccessible due to game restrictions, are hidden! So you have a clear view of which skills don't go together."

    If you look at a basic skill, you will find at...

  • Spin the Skill Wheel Again

    I am sure you will be thrilled to learn that the Skill Wheel, one of the most popular features of this site, has been updated based on version 1.4 and 2.0. All Dwarven skills have been added by Aurelain, who worked until the late hours of the night, without the help of Ubisoft or Nival. Not only are the French and the German versions of...

  • H5: Skill Wheel (Spanish)

    If there's an area where Heroes of Might and Magic V is quite different from the previous games of the series, it's the highly dynamic skill system that should allow a lot of customization with your heroes. But with certain abilities having requirements coming from another skill, it's quite easy to get confused and waste your time on unnecessary advancement. A simple table isn't enough to explain how it works. Fortunately, Aurelain is back with the newest version of his Wheel. The Flash-based Skill Wheel not only provides the
