Wow.. looks like they actually patched the game and gave the fans what they wanted.. the online dynasty features (items & heroes etc), DLC and online saves now available offline via a huge patch that adds heaps of the server stuff to your install making it around 14.5GB apparently.

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/might-and-magic-heroes-6/gameplay/article/availability-of-online-features-in-heroes-of-might-and-magic-6/000106804

However this is ubisoft we're talking about here so of course celebrations were shortlived when people realised a whole bunch of new problems had arrived.. judging by the threads on Steam some people can't start the game anymore, people lost all their dynasty progression (that one was predictable), you can't transfer your hero progression through campaign anymore (always start at lvl1 making later missions much harder), and people have lost the ability to scroll around the map with the mouse. I wonder if they'll patch it some more! Oh and sadly I can't test the patch myself as I'm using an old version of Ubisoft Connect (as newer ones don't work on Win7) and that is refusing to update the game, I guess I could try reinstalling but I half suspect I'll lose the game altogether doing that! EDIT: Tried the reinstall, worked, now I've got the latest copy, sure enough everything is unlocked, it's as if I've completed the game.

At least now it's content is definitely all in the offline version making it possible for heavier modding now! Maybe fans can fix some of its issues in the years to come..

Some good news.. modder RedTreant has already found a way to fix the issue with Heroes not transferring/carrying over/progressing between campaign missions and he's also fixed the issue with special heroes like Anastasia, Crag Hack and Sandro not being playable in their campaigns anymore. What a legend.. I was worried no one would be able to or want to fix this stuff anymore.
