Edit= I should have backed-up and read. I've never seen a "Fan Manual" with 3.1 after it. Only 1 and it has 3.0

Perhaps you've noticed the lack of updates on Age of Heroes lately. What if we've told you that we were busy making a 200 page Heroes V game manual together with the teams of international HOMM websites and collaboration of Ubisoft and Nival? We just have Below you will find the manual's foreword, a word from Ubisoft and the link to download the brand new manual.


Foreword

This document is the result of a coordinated effort by the international HOMM community, led by the Age of Heroes team, and supported by Ubisoft and Nival Interactive. We want to thank the contributors, translators and proofreaders involved in this production for their hard work. We also want to thank Nival for revealing the internal mechanics of the game.

When Fabrice Cambounet, Ubisoft Heroes V producer, contacted us to create this manual, we accepted the task with much enthusiasm. While the producer was working on patches and the map editor, we were glad to be able to step in and help the fans by creating the much needed game reference materials. From the start, the objective was to release localized versions of the manual, so that everybody can enjoy all the game information, not only the English speaking players. We couldn't have done it without the concerted and dedicated effort of the international community.

This guide has been created for you, and we will be listening to your feedback to make it better. Actually, we already have a few planned updates. And now, let's delve into the rich and mysterious world of Heroes V!

Valera Koltsov, Stéphane Fidanza, Paolo Angelo Sossi.
The Age of Heroes Team.


Word from Ubisoft

This manual is the result of the involvement of the Heroes of Might and Magic community as a whole. I started discussing with them the expected content for such a manual and came to realize they were willing, even eager to participate in creating it. So it was decided to test such a direct collaboration with the fans.

The result is beyond our expectations for the quality and level of detail: they have invested much energy in doing "their" manual, unravelling the game mechanics and exposing the complex structure built by Nival, with the help of the game developers.

Most communities have been involved in directing its content, adding tables, helping in the translation or simply giving feedback, and the Age of Heroes team did a great work in coordinating the whole effort.

Fabrice Cambounet.
Heroes 5 Producer, Ubisoft.


SEAL OF APPROVAL

Heroes V Manual is the first creation to receive the Ubisoft's Might and Magic Seal of Approval.

About the Seal of Approval: This Seal will distinguish the most qualitative works done by fans or communities and submitted to Ubisoft. We will consider such works as maps, mods, guides or any other element created by the fans for the game or its universe. Any of such selected element will be reproduced on the official Might and Magic webpage and be allowed to bear this Seal.


DOWNLOAD

The latest versions and localizations of the manual can be downloaded here:

PRINTABLE REFERENCE GUIDES

The full manual hopefully includes all the information you'll ever need about the game, but printing the manual will both be time-consuming and costly, and alt-tabbing in and out of the game is not something everyone would want or afford. As an alternative or addendum to the manual, a set of easily printable reference guides with the most crucial information has been made:
[url=http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/printable_reference_guides.shtml]http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/printable_reference_guides.shtml[/url]

You will already find Skills and Creatures references guides, with everything from skills requirement to plan your heroes development, to the much needed creature abilities descriptions. Don't expect much graphical documents, as we tried hard to keep them lightweight and easy-to-print. And of course, we are open to your feedback and suggestions.


THIS THREAD

The purpose of this thread is to gather feedback, suggestions, bug and error reports for the Heroes V Manual. And of course you are most welcome to write what you think about it. Once you've had a good read of the manual, go ahead and vote in the poll below.
