Oh so I already have resurrection then, in my spell book? I'm pretty sure I checked and didn't notice any more spells. I thought that the book just allowed me to learn light magic spells from towers and what-not -- I didn't realize it gave me all the spells right away.

From the fan manual and in-game description as well (I think), the description for the Tome of Light Magic is "Allows all light magic spells to be cast without any skill in this school." I missing something? I can't be the only guy who thought that this meant that it uh, would allow me to ...

It's lame how spell Books don't help at the Arcane Library

Ugh this killed me last game. I spent 20,000 gold for Ranger to buy a tome of light magic at an artifact merchant because I wanted to get the Resurrection spell from the Arcane Library on the map. And it didn't work :( . Tomes / spell books don't allow you to purchase spells you don't have skills fo...

Does the distract skill affect barbarian shouts?

I was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me.

If a hero has the distract skill, is it effective at all against Barbarian shouts? I'm guessing the game would consider shouts not to be spells -- does anyone know either way?

Thanks

I guess I'm maybe 'wrong' , but the way I see it:

Destructive
Dark
Summoning
Light

I don't get what is so crazy about light when you are doing 1000+ damage implosion, casting puppet master and using arcane armor! Guess I just haven't explored Light magic enough.

Good Bye Nival?

I think Nival did better than most people give them credit for. H5 could have been far worse IMHO.

When it comes to Heroes, since the first game I've had a blast playing hot-seat matches with my friends. I've never spent more than a few hours playing any S.P Heroes (any of them, 1-V plus expansions.) I never found it that challenging -- the AI is such that when I start any SP I just think to myse...

In my opinion it really depends on what summoning spells you have. If you have fire trap and arcane crystal along with those elementals you shouldn't have to much trouble. That's why I love these forums. Just when I think I know absolutely everything about this game someone introduces an idea I nev...

Babes, Sex & Video Games

As a dude in my 20's I have to say I really appreciate the sexy Heroes chicks. I'm really glad they dress like sluts! I mean , come on, its a fantasy game.Its not going for realism. Why not have sexy chicks to look at, instead of well-covered women? Personally I'll vote with my wallet and choose the...

See, on my own i would never ever have discovered that you can use defend with a hero, coz that's the last ting i would ever think to do... Some of us learn the hard way, such as accidentally hitting the 'D' key when it's your hero's turn in a critical and intense hero vs hero fight in multiplayer....

Thanks. Guess I should just be happy to get maybe one shot off with my Ballista until it is destroyed. My opponent does have cold death, I think :( But even if he doesn't, I'm pretty sure by the time we meet he'll be to cast some spell that does over 1100 damage to my ballista anyways. Ah well.

Any great ideas to improve odds of my ballista surviving?

Another night of playing heroes, another question :) In my current match, my Ranger has triple shot Ballista, with Imbue Ballista. Needless to say this is a pretty awesome combo. I'm thinking that Dungeon opponent will try to take out my Ballista as fast as he can. His spells do massive damage, so I...

With pleasure, I highly recommend this map. It is 1v1 and honestly, I think it is my favorite H5 map I've played. And I do not say that lightly. Me and my buddy have pretty much played all of the H5/Tribes maps except for the largest ones, and this is one has been tons of fun. It's the second map on...

Dude!!! Thank you . I did not know that Silver Unicorns provided 30% magic resistance! Damn I have to re-study my monsters. I'm pretty sure he will have expert irresistible magic -- but that will be better than nothing, especially if I can get the Dwarven Armor or something similar. I also has the l...

Ya, his hero ain't no joke :( He'll wipe though my guys pretty fast. My arcane archers are going to be crazy -- I have the archer specialist hero (Ossir, I think his name is) and I have the Archers Dream set of artifacts -- the bow and the quiver. My ballista shoots really fast so I'm hoping I can g...

Thanks guys. Played last night, my Hero is coming together. I managed to get Imbue Ballista, which is sweet. One problem was that Basic Destructive Magic was just refusing to come up, so that was tough -- I finally got it, at level 17 (!!!). It was Destructive Magic or Triple Ballista. There is a wi...

Hi guys. I'm giving Sylvan a go this last game I'm in, and am not that familiar with them. I have a question I was wondering if someone could answer for me.
