Might/Magic Mods
Hi everybody; great site you guys have collectively put together. Now, I really like the heroes 5 game, but my primary complaint is in the hero system. I prefer the old system where you could choose whether you wanted a might hero or a magic hero for each faction.
Rather than mess around with skills, which are good IMO, I think this could manifest itself by altering the starting stats of a few heroes and how their stats increase as they level up. Making half the demon lords progress with spellpower as their primary stat, for example, would be a welcome change.
Now I'm wondering if there's anyone that's done anything like this insofar as a mod goes, or if anyone has any information on how I might go about making such a change. Thanks.

First off, a practical note - we have a Modding Forum here called The Modder's Workshop, which would be the correct place to discuss this. I'll move the thread to that forum soon.
As a reply to your post, I have such a project on the table. I've even gone as far as looking into the Attribute distribution for the alternative classes as well as dividing the Heroes between each Might and Magic faction.
The reason this has not been carried out into real life yet is that it's impossible to have two different kinds of Demon Lords in the game - we need to establish a new (secondary) Class for each faction - i.e. Haven gets Cleric, Inferno gets Heretic, etc. This requires a change in the core game file, which can currently only host 8 different Hero classes - and though I've mentioned this to a couple of people, no-body have as yet been able to do this.
Also see the discussion in this thread.

Eh no, that doesn't change anything but the visuals of the Hero icons, pasting in the old Heroes 4 icons ...
