The Heroes Round Table

This isn't a cheat, but since so many people are interested in getting the skills they want for their hero, there is a harder, though more honest way to do it. You can mod the skill tree to exclude some skills and abilities, so that you are more likely to get the skills that you do want. The files t...

ive been working thru the campaign, but got stuck on this map. i'd like to know how most of you got thru it. the biggest problem i encountered: how the hell did u defeatl the elven army?? You only need to defeat their main hero, what's-his-face. I did this with Markal late in the game, when the gre...

Sourcery + Magic Insight is a must for anyone, and it gives you access to all tier 3 spells, including Phantom Forces. With that there's less need for more than one magic school. Summoning Magic is a one-trick pony: other than Conjuration, its other sub-skills are useless (when was the last time you...

My game crashes constantly when saving OR loading any resource, including savegames (well, a few times per scenario, usually). This has taught me to either use autosave, or save manually in alternating autosave slots, and in named slots a few times per scenario.

'K, thanks. Playing scenario 2 now.

Just because the other posts haven't been totally clear... if you lose the garrisons it doesn't matter. They're just a distraction. You must retake the garrison before the next one is taken, otherwise you lose. Happened to me: two garrisons were attacked within three days and I didn't have time to ...

You don't have to fight Grawl on this map - just try to avoid him. If you can't avoid him and can't win against him, then you are screwed - reload

Am I the only one who flew over the hills right into Godric territory on angels' wings? I didn't even know you were supposed to fight some Rakshasas - I never even tried entering through the door I finished this scenario in 3-4 weeks.

For a very well put together explanation of elemental chains, I like this explanation: http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/ability_elemental_chains.shtml Finally! The missing manual :) The only thing it doesn't explain are actual elemental chains - but I've read about them elsewhere. BTW, ...

data.pak is not "hardcoded" - it's simply a way to store data files in a compressed archive, so that they take up less space on your hard drive. You can actually unpack all files into a directory structure and delete data.pak - the game will use the unpacked files. The way it typically wor...

Never mind, I found what was wrong. The game uses the same cursor for inaccessible regions as for unexplored terrain, which makes it easy to miss a corner. Bottom line: try exploring all darkened regions, even if it looks as if they are inaccessible.

Man, I hate this pixel-hunting! I have scoured the entire map, killed all hostile stacks, secured all buildings, built all upgrades - the damn thing WON'T END!

Or coud this be a bug?

Are there cheats for this game? I sure could use one right now!
