You know, suicide is always an option. So are P2P programs.

Hm... 6 hours... Ah, well.

Well, at least you dont have dialup. Imagine, 5 days of downloading

After all those years of waiting I finally got the demo on my computer today, but..... it crashes when I want to install it.

In the readme file it sais to run the HOMMV_demo.exe file, but I can't find it. When I try to run the HOMMV_Game file the error appears and it crushes.... In which folder should I look for this HOMMV_demo.exe file?
I would be glad if someone could help.. Thanks!!

I really like it, I sat up for 2 hours downloading it and sat up for 6 mroe finishing the Inferno custom scenario (on Heroic).

It feels like a good game, it feels like a heroes game. (Like all the other heroes games it has room for improvements, but find one game that doesn't).

My only problem is I can't beat the Campain map on Heroic, I've tried several different stratagis but always the second major attack on the castle is just too overwhelming. Any advice?

In Heroes V Demo I own both Castles and search all the land that I
can find, both above and below ground.

One of the Primary Objects is: Send Godric to Noiclai.

Does anyone know where Noiclai can be found??

Thanks..

You must go with Godric pass the garrison that is close to the Inferno castle. After a turn Nicolai shows himself on the map...

You'll also get that garrison revealed for you when you get that particular quest.

Alright, I've managed to make it to the third offensive on the first campain map, but no matter what I do I don't seem to be able to conserve enough army to win

Heroic is giving me a larger challange than impossible used too =/

To: Dragonn and Gaidal,

Thanks for the information on Noiclai....

Now all there's left to do.....is wait for Heroes V

The new cursor is a bit weird.While the body of the horse was the active part of the cursor earlier,now its the horses head.Its a bit hard to get used to.

How much do you earn each day? You should make the goldmine close to your castle your first priority after freeing Isabel, and as soon as the first wave has passed, you should try and get hold of the Sawmill nearby. If you think you have time, capture the second outpost as well.

Witches huts are again very annoying.Why?Can anyone,even the one that adores HIII so much he wants to marry it,say that having the witch hut asking if you want the skill it offers is a bad thing?

Also, you should try to build a Capitol as fast as you can. When you dig out Tears of Asha, money is not a problem anymore

Try to split your main forces into two evenly big armies. Or even not. 10 Cavaliers + Isabel and some Archers should be enough to conquer most of the map. Remember to supply your town forces with units from both outposts. Buy a hero to maintain those reinforcements. If you manage to hold out the first assault, the rest should not be a problem...

I've always used the not-so-important heroes from my army to check what ability the witches hut offers you. Abilities like Eagle Eye or Estates were not a threat anymore

:D:D

Yes,but it does slow the gameplay if you have to drag some lame hero in order to check what whitch hut offers.
