Hammers of Fate Compatibility

[Angelspit]

Fabrice gave us some additional information about the compatility of the first expansion and the map editor:

o The European and North American versions of the Hammers of Fate will be compatible with all versions of Heroes V;

o As before, multiplayer requires players to be at the same version number: 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, etc.;

o The HoF map editor will be able to open standard maps, but not the other way around;

o Version 1.4 of the editor will include all features and fixes of the expansion, but not the new data.

It's a summary I wrote, not some actual quotes. I hope I didn't misunderstood anything.

I was right.

The HoF map editor will be able to open standard maps, but not the other way around

Just like H4/GS/WoW, isn't it? Sounds reasonable enough to me...

I wonder if HoF will be "integrated" in hommV....

I mean, like the other expansion of the franchise, where to access the old content (old campaigns & scenarios) you didnt have to exit the expansion and run a different .exe

I'd really not want to see such kind of cumbersome implementation of an expansion from a game of 2006... but you never know for sure, we're talking about a Nival game after all !
