Expansion features in Original Campaign?

[Blave]

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about buying HoMM 5 on Steam right now, but I'm unsure about the expensions. Normally I would buy the main game and consider buying those when I'm done with it.

I understand that each adds a new race as well as additional features (spells/items/whatever). Are these additional items useable in the main game (ie. the 6 campaigns that come with the game) if I have the expansions installed? If yes, are any of those important enough to warrent an immediate purchase?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Blave and welcome on the round table.

I can really advise you to buy the Tribes of the East expansion instead of the basic heroes 5 game. It is a stand alone game so you don't need heroes 5 nor Hammers of Fate to play it. It has all features (except campains) + a LOT more units. If you want to play the h5/HoF campain you can still download them as a mod and play them with all the extra ToTe features (alternative upgrades and such).

So really, buy Tribes of the East
