Splitting Armies
Sorry, I am new and apparently do not have enough posts to start a new topic but I have a real problem. I used to play HOMM and I understand how to split armies but it just will not work. I am in the 1st campaign on easy so I get the hang of it. I have my hero and met up with my other hero to give him some creatures so I could go to the castle for more while he stayed out. I hold the shift key, click archers. It raises and has a little triangle in the upper left corner. I bring it to the other hero's slot and let go and I do not get the split army dialog box. I have tried with different units. I had trouble with a garrison swap too. I have updated to version 1.6.

A few more dumb (?) questions.
#1 Both TotE and HoF have "Special" mods (? I'm not sure if there called mods correctly) the "Dark Messiah" mod and the "Heroes - Directors Edition" mod. How do I launch those mods from the in game menu? I can only launch them from an exe file in the game folder. If you’re wondering why I'm asking, well because I can’t launch it from the "Modifications" menu, neither can I launch any mods or campaigns that I downloaded from the internet. Tried putting it in "Data" and in "UserMODs" still won't let me launch any of them.
#2 Does vanilla homm5 have any official mods like the ones I mentioned?
#3 (Really dumb question ahead) Is it possible to beat the Karli duel hero with any other hero in a 1x1 duel without any custom presets and stuff? Seems to be seriously imbalanced with those runes.
~Thanks for your answers!

@logicman - You must keep the Shift key held down when you drop the stack into the other hero's army.
@zwok-
Question #1 - I have seen no such mods. That may be part of the problem.
Question #2 - There have been patches, but to my knowledge, no big mods produced by Ubinval.
Question #3 - Sorry, can't help you on that.

I got those mods with my homm5 gold edition, it even says that those mods are included on the box.

What do you mean? The alternate upgrades are what they are supposed to be, upgrades alternate to the usual ones. Double click any unit and you can read what abilities it has and compare its damage/defense. Not sure what confused you.

well. I can start with my fauvorite faction. Necropolis. (used to be dungeon but necro is good to.)
skeleton archers/warriors.
for me here I choose the archers. it is allways good with some extra range attackers for necropolis. but use 1 skeleton warrior to but next to the archers in early game while creeping. the shield allies special is really good against archers.
plaue/rot zombies.
Here I usually don't care. both are good tank units to protect your other troops. but the rot zombies is a little better if you want to use them as an attack unit.
spectres/poltergeist.
I would go for spectres here. doesn't really make a big difference I just pick them for I think that their stats are a bit better (pluus that they look cool.
vampire lord/prince
I would go for the lords here. sure torpor is a great special but only if you got soldiers luck and I don't think that many people go for luck when playing necro. and the no enemy retaliation special with the lords is really good.
arclich/lich master
depends on wha you what your situation is. if you are attacking a hero with many troops then you might want to go for the archlich wih his death cloud ability. but on the other hand you can take the lich master for minimal troop casulaties.
wraith/banshee
no big difference here. the banshee's are good for distant attacks with their special. but the wraiths are good with their touch of death. same as liches i say here. depends on what you want them to do.
spectral/ghost dragon.
I don't know here. the ghost's are good for cursings but so are the spectrals. I say it is no big difference here.
i will post other factions soon. hope you like this for now bone_master.

In the main game menu on the bottom left it shows your game version.
#Edit: Since you mentioned about alternative upgrades I assume your playing TotE wich means the only game version you could have is 3.0 Theres no patches for TotE that I'm aware of.

I wonder if "counter spelling" is still working as it did in H3 and H4. I mean do opposite-effect spells dispell each other? eg. If I cast hast on a slowed unit, will it be only hasted or will it have both spells on it? (I haven't played enough to have a chance to find it out, and I'm so curious  )

If you cast Haste on a Slowed unit, it will be only Hasted (Slow will be dispelled)

Same for divine strength-weakness and suffering-righteous might but not vulnerability-endurance.
