Find your Hammers of Fate information on AoH
As Heroes 5 first addon is hitting the shelves all over the world, you might need some specific information, about
dwarven creatures,
Fortress heroes,
Runemage's skills and abilities or
specializations. As you could expect, you'll find all these here on Age of Heroes, with the
runic spells, the
new artifacts and the
Fortress buildings.
The update is not complete yet, so if you're looking for something that is not yet updated, join the discussion with the community in the meantime!
And for those of you who enjoy the pdf manuals, they're coming soon as well, both in 1.4 and 2.0 versions, and in 7 languages!

Hammers of Fate Released!
Stores around the world have their Heroes V Expansion packs ready to go! Yes it is release day for most of us, but no reviews have been posted as yet. However, a couple of lucky people already have their hands on the expansion. You can read their initial impressions here and here on the Ubi boards.
Interestingly, you can also download the expansion for USD 29.95 if you are in the USA, Canada or Mexico from this site. Alternatively, order Hammers of Fate from Amazon here.

Patch 1.4 is available
One week before the anticipated release of Hammers of Fate, patch 1.4 is available. It mostly contains bug fixes, but some new things made their way in there as well, like an updated map editor or the "paper doll" display of the hero's artifacts.
Discuss the patch with the Heroes Community.
As always, we did our best to give you a lightning update: the buildings, skills, creatures, ... pages on AoH are now up-to-date with 1.4 data. And you'll find details about the changes in the HC thread above.

Hammers of Fate goes Gold
It has been announced on Ubi's Official Might and Magic site that the Hammers of Fate expansion has indeed gone gold. Simultaneous turns, an option that was initially believed to be in v1.0, will be made available in the expansion. With 1.4 due out very soon, it has been a busy time for Nival.
While the official random map generator will be out with the expansion on November 16 (for most countries), Tapani has once again updated his random map generator. Download v.78b here.
Those of you who browse the site regularly may have noticed the Manuals Page that Sfidanza has put together. It offers the current version manual in every language for download, as well as a few interesting production notes.

Heroes V Unofficial Random Map Generator
Instead of waiting for the Random Map Generator, HC member Tapani decided he'd make one himself. The program, a download of only 124 KB, is very simple and easy-to-use, however, it is only tested with the European version of the game, but works reliably with patch 1.2 and 1.3. It was created with heads-up multiplayer games in mind, and is currently in its beta stage.
To download the program and discover how it works, click here. (Remember to read the readme).
