1.60 and still has bugs! Thank you Ubisoft!

I can't believe I just wasted an entire day gaming!

Having erased my Heroes 6 from the computer, I decided to reinstall my Heroes V. Then I decided to update to the latest patch, 1.6, which I hadn't played on previously.

To save time, I parachuted in straight to the Sylvan campaign, my favorite, using someone else's campaign.sav file.

Played maps 1 and 2 fine. Then map 3, the defense of Syllis Thalla, got bugged out. Most of the mission objectives refused to trigger. EG I had Dirael and Thalmar walking around the map for an entire month and the system still insisted that they hadn't been rescued.

I remember this map was one of the buggiest. Back in v 1.13 or 1.06 (really can't remember the first version I played), not being able to complete this map was a source of complaints.

Looks like they STILL haven't fixed this problem after years and tons of 'patches'.

Moderation: they didn't succed for half a year. After that, HoF came out and it was pretty decent. After that, TotE came out and it was quite good.

Not that I disagree that it should have been better from the start.

You can always use the '@Win' cheat to get past that bug. I've done that before to get past the Sylvan Mission #1 bug of Biara never moving.

Hi Folks

I replayed my Map 3 The Defense again, halved my Syris Thalla garrison and finally enticed the purple necromancers to come out and lay siege to my castle.
(hey don't always respond to a 1-unit sacrificial hero)

So finally I got through map 3, got through map 4, and now am at the Vampire Lord, the final Sylvan map.

And... God Be Praised! Allahu Akhbar! Jai Shri Ram! (Or just thank you, Ubisoft, the God who so benevolently made this game.) My assistant heroes Dirael and Thalmar got downgraded and are starting with lower stats!

Thank you for making the final map more challenging! Gee, how did you the all-knowing Ubisoft know that I'm a good enough player to survive even with lower stats?
