CH Heroes 5 Manual Complete!

Kalah · Unread postby **Kalah** » 18 Jun 2006, 22:36

Short of the game release and possibly when the expansions come, this will be the biggest news story on CH this year: The hard-working staff of Celestial Heavens have created a beautiful, comprehensive manual for Heroes of Might & Magic 5. Featuring lists of artifacts and their effects and costs; creatures and their stats; heroes, skills, spells, buildings... Without thinking too long about it, I can honestly say that this is the best single piece of work ever put together by Celestial Heavens.

The manual is available for download here, in three different versions: a coloured screen version, a coloured printable version and a black/white version for printer economy.

Robenhagen, Pitsu and Gaidal Cain are the three people behind this 134 pages long .PDF. Gentlemen, I assure you that if I didn't have a cramp in my left hamstring, I'd be on the floor worshipping in your general direction. I whole-heartedly agree with Angelspit's statement in the foreword: you just made the game easier to understand and more rewarding. Thank you very much for all your hard work.

Wow, simply amazing. Not even Nival could have done this in a better way

Absolutely amazing.

So, is this 100% completed as far as version 1.1 is concerned? because i'd like to print it out but dont want to have to do it again a week later -.

also...if possible, when a new version is out, state which pages have been changed? be easier to print out the changed pages than the whole thing again.

but that wouldnt work if a page was added somewhere inbetween, cause the page numbers would be out of whack then.

then again, you could scrap the page numbers or make a version without the page numbers, then i wouldnt have to print 150 pages each time

just some suggestions, had a look at it anyway great work.

Excellent hardly describes the work, but excellent will have to do. Now let's see 134 pages/2=67 pieces of paper. Anyone got a spare rain forest to loan me?

Send to UBI and demand pay.

Careful UBI may claim some copyright infringement for doing their job better than they have so far.

Having watched the development of this from afar over the past few weeks, I gotta say that this is an amazing job and a lot of effort has gone into it. Well done guys!

So, is this 100% completed as far as version 1.1 is concerned? because i'd like to print it out but dont want to have to do it again a week later -.

There has been extensive editing, re-editing, fact checking and data.pak devouring done on this. Obviously it's hard to guarantee 100% accuracy, but it certainly isn't a first draft. It should definitely be safe to print!

Stunning! Magnificent! Incredible! The sheet amount of detail about game mechanics is amazing! CH must have done a lot of research to uncover the details.

good work, but i thought i'd point out a minor mistake

under the skills section of haven heroes (Dougal, Ellaine & Irina), the unique skills are typed as basic gating instead of counter-strike.

The icon is right but the wording is wrong
