    • patch 1.3 now out.

      Includes map editor but no random map generator - looks like thats for the expansion pack. Couple of maps and some play balance changes amongst other tweaks.

      • I just didn't have the time to explore maps and things for H2 and H3, but what I did play was very enjoyable. I wasn't impressed with the pre-release stuff for H4 and had even less time, so I skipped it.

        • Sorry for the outrageous bump but there's a lot of good discussion here and I thought it better than making a new thread.

          I saw there were a few more patches and wondered whether or not they addressed the problems vmxa and other were discussing above.

          • The boss lady has bought Homm5 and Hammers Of Fate, so I will know some time after xmas. I did down load the 52mb manual.

            They are saying that Hammers has the latest patch, but I am not sure if that includes the new 1.4. I will wait and see as the patch is another 50mb.

            They did a great job on the manual, it was done by the community.

            • Is Hammers the x-pack? That seems to be getting slated.

                • You might want to check out some reviews first.

                  • Nah, she already bought them. I was there. I told her to not give them to me, till xmas. If they suck, oh well. Must have all Homm games.

                    I still play all version, except homm1.

                    • Has anyone played the expansion set?

                      I saw it on Amazon for £9.99 but not sure I'll bother as I haven;t played HOMM5 for a month or two and just can't seem to work up the enthusiasm. Looking at the forum ( a while ago) it seemed pretty bug ridden and didn't really change the basic concept much.

                      • The expansion is OK, but nothing extraordinary.

                        • Yeah, it got pretty poor reviews.

                          • Hey guys, just out of complete curiosity, what happened to Dan Magaha? I just noticed he's no longer on the Staff list of Firaxis, and his last post on Apolyton was on this thread.

                            • Funny to see this thread at page one. I bought this game last Friday as gold edition (with both expansions). It's my first HoMM experience, I didn't play the first four. So far I like it.

                              • Haven't played HoMM for years - might come back for a nostalgia trip at some point but hard to see me playing it extensively now.
