4 Dwarven Heroes and Creatures info

As announced, we updated our page(s) on Hammers of Fate: you can now discover the 4 brand new Fortress heroes. We also added the creatures' descriptions and artworks on the Fortress creatures page.

Hydra added the background story and political context as well, and we grouped the skills and runes info on the fortress abilities page. We hope that will make it easier to browse these new information as they come. Have a good read.

Heroes V Hammers of Fate Update

October 3rd was a big day for Hammers of Fate fans. In one day, Ubisoft managed to release a Q & A with Fabrice Cambounet, 10 new screenshots (page 1), and, probably most importantly, Fortress Faction Information.
Given this influx of information, a revamp of our condensed Hammers of Fate page is planned for the near future.

500 Games Mark, New Multiplayer Maps Page

With 1.3 comes the Map Editor, so We Can Make Multiplayer Maps

With the 1.3 patch out last week, we now have a fully working map editor. Players are starting to experiment with the mapmaking tools, and Jb239 is already busy putting out H5 versions of popular H3 maps. Therefore there is a new Maps Page link, where new maps for ToH multiplayer can be downloaded. Instructions on how to submit maps or install them, visit the Maps Page.
ToH has passed the 500 games mark for Homm5, but we hope that the rate of games played will only increase once new multiplayer maps become the norm.

Heroes V Hammers of Fate Q&A

A new Question and Answer regarding the Heroes V Expansion, Hammers of Fate, has been posted by Acheval, Ubi's community Heroes 5 community manager. While revealing nothing new, it is a good summary of the expansion and its development. Unsurprisingly, the new target is now "the Christmas season" rather than November 2006.

As always, our Expansion page is always updated with the latest information to keep up to date with.
