HoMM V

Hi

I got the latest version of Heroes of Might and Magic recently and have been playing the scenarios. Last week, I decided to try the campaigns and was doing quite well until I hit the 5th mission of the 1st campaign.

I know I'm supposed to capture Dunmoor, the castle at the top of the screen. Then the hero supposed to rescue Isabel. My problem is that I don't know where the heck to find her. Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Aphy

If I remember correctly, to the right (slighty up) of that Castle is a prison tower, you will find Isabel in there. Just defeat the guards.

Awesome game isn't it ? Make sure you are running the 1.2 patch, it fixes many bugs.

 

[Aphrael]

Thanks a stack.

I've not found any bugs yet ... not that I can tell. My game is just slow 'cos I'm running 256mb RAM instead of 512. Got more, but the card was faulty. Hopefully soon again.

 

[lord_spaceman]

Read the 1.1 and then the 1.2 changelog and you will see just how much was fixed. A hell of a lot.

I don't have internet at home yet ... so guess I'll have to vasbyt ... It's ok, I don't have that much time to play. Do you know if there are additional maps to download?

*LOL* ... last night when I tried Mission 5 for the last time, I didn't go for Dunmoor, but went straight for the demons ... got my ass seriously whupped - 5 archdevils was a bit much!

 

[lord_spaceman]

I'm not sure where you can download additional maps from, but I do know that the patch comes with a few maps.

 

[Aphrael]

LOL ... all the more reason to hope internet is set up at home again soon. But why am I asking? I've not even done the 1st campaign ... and only completed 2 scenarios...

As soon as Hellkom decide to get some more ports!!!!!!!!!

I am also loving this game. It is so laid back but involved at the same time. Really like it a lot. How big is the patch approximately?

 

[useless]

1.1 and 1.2 are 60MB each approx.

 

[Roy Munson]

Thanks, just downloaded the patch, but my game is not installed in the default C:blah/blah but in G:blah/blah, there is no option to change it so now what
It gives me the message: HoMMV not installed on this computer. Guess I'll just do it later when I get a new C: drive and have to reinstall anyway.
Doesn't look like a critical patch and I'm not playing online so no biggie right?
Just btw how do you guys know what a "throng, group, sev., pack, troop or lots" is, and how tough the mothers are? Is there a guide available? I haven't found one. Some of them look like real roughnecks and then turn out to be kittens and vice versa .

 

[useless]

why dont you copy the game to your C: drive, patch it and then copy it back to the G: drive?

 

[ZA_medic]

Just a quick question Roy, I dont want to judge you but do you have a legal copy of the game? As far as i know the path to HOMMV should be in the registry, thats where it gets the path from.

 

[Roy Munson]

Yes I do. I had to install to G: because there's no space on CSmall partition only for OS and work related stuff). The game is legal, but funny enough, every now and then I get a "no cd found" message that dissappears when I retry. I get the same with Farcry every now and then, but apparently so does everybody else.
It could be that patch is faulty? I lost my connection a few times while downloading, how reliable is "resume" usually?

 

[useless]

if its with GetRight it should be ok. what kind of connection do you have, coz it sounds flaky...

 

[Roy Munson]

Trying Virgin Mobile because its cheap, just got it connected and it is flaky. The MTN EDGE on my N70 is way way better(even without the 3G). Actually, I wanted to test the connection using a large file like the patch. Win some you lose some. I can probably still check mail and very laid back surfing with it.
