I don't think Mark of the Damned should be underestimated. It's is extremely usefull in early-game and stays it, because of the Demon Lord's puny Spellpower. Getting Dark Magic and Attack early are vital for this (Weakening Strike and Excrucianting strike make Mark of the Damned worthwile drung mid-game as well). Forget it in the End-game however, as your Spellpower is high enough to cast powerfull Dark Magic (that lasts long).
I hardly ever use "Retaliation strike" and if I do it, the AI never attacks that particular stack (unless it has no other choice). Unstoppable Charge is ridiculous, as Retaliation strike is so weak. (Personally I prefer Preparation over Last stand, but the latter is a prequisite of Unstoppable Charge)
So, I suggest exploit all ventures of Mark of the Damned (get Attack and Dark magic quickly), but ignore retaliation strike completely.

One question, have you tried unstoppable charge? Does not come close to nature's luck but it deals a lot of damage plus the skills are not bad and complement it. What I'd miss is master of wrath and retribution but that does not mean it's not effective. Think about it, motd MAY deal double damage, the charge always does triple to all that attack. By the time you have it you should have MANY paladins that the opponent will be forced to attack but will die slowly due to def, last stand, mass endurance etc. That said it's not a good idea vs dungeon

Well, I tried it a couple of times, but almost everytime, the AI attacks anothe unit. It only seems to work (as you said) on Paladins, as they are the only ones that are fast enough to get near the enemy shooters (save the Griffins).
Yes, U.C. can be powerfull when it actually works, but as the AI mostly isn't stupid and won't aatck the units with ret. strike (In my case). Sorry, but I prefer things as Refined Mana, Retribution, Preparation or Power of Speed to the prequisites you need for U.C.
But it is, and stays, a matter of taste and playing style.
EDIT: It also depends on your Hero; in the case of Claus I allways work towards U.C., bcause he specialises in ret. strike, but in the case of Maeve for example, Master of Wrath is more interesting than Guardian Angel (though it's close in this case).

AI does not count, it hardly makes the right choices  Also depends how late in the game you used it, week 5-6 should be fine. Note that I have not tried it online, just judging by the army strength.

Yep it inflicts magical damage, and it can be resisted (since its magical effect). Find more about the spell here.

Nope only on opponents. As for counters try cleansing, magical immunity and lay on hands.

Only frenzy can't be cleansed but I think you still could in the original. Back then you could even break puppet by attacking the unit.

Hello folks. This indeed is my first post so I wanted to start off with a hearty "hello" to everyone.
I just got HOMM5 a few weeks ago and have tried beating A Tear for Ossir about 5-6 times and failed miserably (on Normal.)
Finally I pulled my head out and I've managed to kick the crap out of this mission as far as enemies go. Having said that, I still cannot find the mission goal even though I own the entire map, upper and lower and have browed every inch (I think.) The Tear of Asha eludes me.
Afaik, I never missed a sign post but the only clure there is the "shade your eyes" sign leading me to believe the Tear is on the lower level but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Any clue or help would be greatly appreciated, tia.
Again, hello. Very nice looking forum

i'm not sure whether this is the right place to post this, but i would like to warn people not to download maps from map4heroes.com - there is some kind of malicious modder that created new creatures such as "witch maiden" and "shadow dragons" with 3000 hit points. the worst thing, aside from making the game generally unplayable, is that it doesn't just affect whatever scenario you are playing, it affects all scenarios and all saves from previous games. i deleted all my save files, map files, and will now uninstall and then reinstall the TOE game i have. it even affects official games and causes the games to freeze up very often;
i'm sure that not all the mapmakers are doing this, but whoever did it is a real a$$hole and should be shot dead
known alterations:
archmage casts lightning bolt
shadow dragon is now immune to magic and has 3000 hp
archangel has phantom forces, unlimited resurrect ability, and arcane armor
witch maiden (kujin picture) appears
there are others too, but i don't remember them all
hope that you mods can bring this to the players attention

Hi,welcome to HC.
the tear of Ossir is an interesting map.and you must follow the clue that you can find the relic.here I found some clue and hope that could be a help.
the first sign:In memory of Thirdan--a poor fishman whose luck changed one day.
second:Wealth?you cant take it with you.
clue:where the wealth is after one dies..the Crypt of course.
third:where you become wiser.
clue:you can become wise after you visit the Sylanna's Ancients.
forth:the city of the fallen is waiting for you.
clue:the dungoen town.
fifth:where make you safe.
clue:the sanctuary, needless to say.
sixth:where part flow into a whole.
clue:where part flow into a whole?to the sea.
seventh:see father--get closer.
clue:Redwood observatory,isnt it?
eighth:Filth lucre.
clue:the gold mine.
ninth:the way up will get you there
clue:the exit of the underground.
tenth sign will offer you three possibilities:
1.go two steps back and start digging!
clue:two step backward means digging at the eigth sign.
2.the story ends where it started.
clue:return to the first sign.
3.in the darkness of the dungeons,the fallen cannot see past their nose.
clue:where there the fallen cannot see past their nose is crypt,
so return to the sign nearby and begin digging.
@Ebbafan,you dont need to uninstall the game at all.you just need to remove the mod map from your map folder or put them in somewhere else.it will be ok then.

That's awsome! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
Just one problem. I never got the seventh through tenth clue. I dunno why or how because I'm in control of the whole map. Maybe I just missed them but I'd hate to think I could be that much of a dumbass
Running 1.4 if that could have anything to do with it. I'll look around and see if the map was upgraded after that version. I'm going to feel pretty stupid if it wasn't.
Thx again~

Thx, man.
Yeah, I've played through the whole series with my son and H5 is the only one we've ever got seriously stuck on. I can usually beat a senerio in 1-2 tries but this game is harder than any of the others, imo.
It's really very refreshing to have a good challenge like this game is proving to be. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't frustrated. Glad I found you guys tho. I've read some posts and the input here seems to be great.

The game is more complicated than H3 or 4, takes some getting used to. There is a good amount of thinking and counters or artifact combinations to consider against your opponent. Good to know that you play with your son
