The ToH MoD
[04/18/08]
A
'ToH Patch' In the Works, Even
out TOTE Imbalances
Initiated by ToH member
Strider_HL, the idea is to make
a MoD/patch that would modify
some of the more egregious
imbalances. Some of these
imbalances (eg. Stalker's
Invisibility) can be taken
advantage of in ways that the
developers did not forsee.
Since we won't be expecting
anymore patches soon, this is
the only way of ironing out the
'bugs'. Visit this
discussion thread regarding
this topic. |
Clans New Season in March
[2/5/08]
New Revised Clan System For
Current Activity Status
On
February 24th, the
current Clan season will end,
and a new Clan season begins on
March 1st.
A certain percentage of points
will be carried over to the new
clans, given to individual
members of the clans themselves
(should they choose to start a
new clan without their old
members). The clan system
will be more activity-friendly
since the original clan system
was devised for 100's of active
members. Also ToTE
factions will be incorporated
into the new system. It will still
remain as 3 members to a clan. |

Heroes
V: Tribes of the East Relased [10/20/07]
A
Final in
the Heroes V Saga -- A Complete
Game: Time to Play!
Any of you who are still stuck to
Heroes 3 or 4, there is no better
time to buy this expansion.
Its stand-alone, so you don't need
the original Homm5, and we can truly
call this version the complete
game. Its even cheaper
than the original. Now there
is 8 factions,
and 3 unit variants, and every key
feature we have been asking for.
Clans
players take note you can play clan
games as Fortress
or Stronghold
regardless of your clan affiliation. |
Guide
for Newbies to Start Playing in ToH
[07/17/07]
For
Those of You Who Have Just Registered,
Wanting to Play
First
of all, you'll need to install msn
(don't ask for icq or yahoo when the whole
ToH community is using msn to
communicate). Then in this thread
there is a whole list of players you can add
to msn to look for a game. Then go to Hamachi
download version 1.0.1.5 (895 KB) of Hamachi,
and never update to ensure no desync
problems. Being new to online games, first few games
for new players usually ends up in a
horrible thrashing, after such a loss,
newbies tend to give up which is
sad... After few games, take
experience from the older players and you
can start winning. So don't give up!!!
Try to get yourself a clan
, (3 members/clan). Will get a game
easier this way. If you have problems
getting one, you can post "looking for
clan" in the forums.

New Tournaments, Maps Page Updated
[02/09/07]
Speed
Deamon & Hero Tournaments, Maps
Page Upgrade
The long awaited Speed
Deamon tournament is now
open, where 'fast paced gaming' occurs
at 1-3 minute time limits. Then
in another style of play, The
Hero tournament forces the
player to play only with one
hero. All subtournaments including
Warlords
can now be played for Clan
points as well. The
maps
page has also had a little facelift,
and new player made tournament-style
maps added. |
Patch 1.41, 2.01 Available Now
[01/30/07]
Balance Changes & Multiplayer Improvement
With this update, we expect less
desynching problems -- perhaps eliminating
the problem once and for all. Some
balance changes are made as well, such as
limiting the volume of training on
Haven
troops, and an entirely new system for
Necromancer's raising undead armies.
Improvements in the Random
Map Generator as well. You can use your autoupdate program or
download the patches directly from
here.

Clans
Now Open... New Chatroom
[01/08/07]
Homm5's
First Lord & A New Addict
Because of UBI's user-unfriendly
chatroom for in-game chatting, a new ToH
chatroom has opened (button to
the right) for an easier meet &
greet for players. It is
recommended to enter the chatroom with
the username you have on ToH. |

Heroes
Clans is now open, 3-player
Clans (Teams) may sign up as long as
they are footman ranked or
higher. Congratulations to
Valentin,
who now is our first Lord ranked
player, and Cycleguy
who steals Karim26's addict
medal to become the new Heroes Addict
Madman. |

The Ugly: Heroes Addict
Madman Medal |
Dedicated
Homm5 Players
[12/21/06]
Heroes
Addict Madman Medal & New Maps
Congratulations to Karim26,
who has now surpassed 100
games played for homm5. A true
addict indeed. So he wins this
rather ugly medal... but it carries a
lot of history and prestige :)
Its a medal that is easily stolen,
however, as others are not too far
away from stealing that title from
him. As of this point, Cycleguy
carries 98 games on record, Mjr_Gamer
89...
Thirteen new
Maps have been added to the
maps win/loss reporting list; 9 UBI
maps from the HoF Expansion, 3
player-made maps, and a listing for
the Random Map
generator. |
The Pretty! |
1000
Games
[12/04/06]
A
Milestone in Homm5 Gaming
ToH has finally reached that 1000
games played mark; though it is impressive,
it is insignificant compared 2000-2002, in
the homm3 gaming peak seasons.
Why? Well, from the
multiplayer-unfriendly versions (until the
1.3/1.4 patches) and the Ubisoft matching
room not being as friendly as the homm3's
MSN zone. Activity can only go
up from here, and it has. Will Homm5
ever achieve the activity levels of
homm3? 2007 will tell. Speedeamon
& the Hero
tournaments are still on hold, but voice
your opinion in the forums
if you want any of them open NOW.
And in a sad note, one of our veteran
players, who played in ToH for 4 years -- Bossbodiddly
passed away recently. One of those
members who makes ToH a solid place to play
homm -- by playing with honor... and really
enjoying the game.
