or, say resolve to piracy? 
Frankly speaking, if given the choice Bulgarian or English version, I'd pick the English one because I am too used to everything being in English. I can't imagine myself saying "arbaletchik" instead of "crossbowman" or "strelets s lak" instead of "archer". Actually, the Bulgarian alphabet is Cyrillic, but this is how these are pronounced.

Ofc, I downloaded it, but I want to play TOH!!! And I would like to support the creators by buying the product.

The same thing here.
@emilsn: I thought about that, but the shipping prices seem to much for me .

I got the tribes, hmmm... lets see... last week. I'm really happy with it and think it's a great game. Since i got the non-original i lost all the single-player and had only the ones introduced in TotE. I have downloaded the skip-campaign mod which can be found here. I did that because i don't really like necro and i heard all the great stuff about the last campaign so i wanted to play it! I think the game is pretty good, runs smoother than the other and has better graphics(even on the worst) than the other ones. the new orc faction is pretty good but it requires some strategy planning. The blood rage ability is nice, easy-to-get points, and not overpowered. I was a little sad since i thought the alternative upgrades aren't that much different than normal ones. It's a really nice game though. well, that's about it!
Have fun!

Youve obviously never seen the difference between a vindicator and a squite or a archlich and a master lich or one of those arcane archers vs master hunters.
I have to admit though, Some like the rhakashas and battle mages are very minor differences although they drastically change the tactical options.

The Harpooner's special range attack that drags an enemy closer... does it use up 1 of his shots? Can he use it anymore if he runs out of shots?
Because if it doesn't use up his shots, then that's a huge advantage.

I've been reading through the playing stronghold faction, and there's one thing I want to say about fighting vs dark magic users:
Yesterday I played Battle for Honor with inferno (which is also relies on its units' strength, and not on magic like stronghold, and they have a tough time against dark users), against a necro AI opponent. After I broke the guards (end of week 4) I faced a pretty decent AI deirdre, with of course, exp. dark magic. My familiars drained 52 from the enemy's mana, but that 38 remaining was still enough for it to cast frenzy twice (AI had a bit better army, and played pretty good). Even though I had shrug darkness, I realised that if I had chosen luck or leadership instead of choosing dark to counter, the battle would have been much easier, since my two first-strikers (firehounds and Arch devils killed 90%of the enemy army, while my imps and succubi attacked ferociously each other due to frenzy . I think if my hounds or devils had luck/or a bonus action from high morale, this battle would have been much easier. Then I watched samiekl's replay (a warlock using dark and summoning vs stronghold) and I realised that against heavy casters both inferno and stronghold should aim for lucky first strikes (with the help of tactics and aura of swiftness) and bonus morale attacks instead of taking other skills like flaming arrows, divine guidance or battle elation. If you give casters time to develop it's sure that you'll lose.

Dark is not exactly an optimal choice vs academy and necropolis, at best you can hope for a few mass spells and they are not that dependent on their units anyway. About frenzy you should place units accordingly to prevent it, say put a small demon stack between succubi and familiars.
Yes against good casters you'd rather take the first hit but flaming arrows is not something I'd like to part with - except maybe against academy that has the saboteurs. Remember that while your units are cursed the ballista can do some solid damage and none of these factions can destroy it fast(unless an implosion with slippers and maybe luck is involved  ).

i am now at the third map in stronghold campaign. Great game, but two things is: Why is Deaths Embrace called Deaths Embrace? In original version, Markal needed that artifacts to make "The vampires garment". and in second map stronghold campaign, is it scripted that the purple player can't pass the dead creatures where the untamed cyclops where or is it a bug?
EDIT: Finished TotE today pretty good, but the next patch will probably make the other heroes unplayable. For those who haven't seen this(pretty few i think)http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=24621&pagenumber=1is the DM map for TotE

The story by its nature does not allow for that as the Ashan factions HAVE to work together. I suppose the more special is the necro campaign because this is not a typical power-hungry necro campaign. Far from it.

The orc campaign has 2 missions were you cant use a town to build up an army and 1 where its impossible to avoid the AI having coming to you with overwhelming numbers at some point (a challenge!)
Necro mission 1 is timed by months, but in the rest you can pretty much just build up as you like

Not exactly TotE material but the face of Sareth has been revealed  Thanks to Angelspit for finding the boxshot of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements for the Xbox 360.
Certainly shows his dark personality.
