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.

Just installed it now!

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.

	Heroes III & IV Integration & Some New Clans Awards  [02/18/07]
Heroes III AND IV Players Can Now Participate in Main Rankings After multiple requests on the ToH Message Board for ToH to support Homm3 & Homm4  players, an arrangement has been made to support them on the Main Rankings.  Veteran players who are already registered contact Vesuvius at admin@toheroes.com to have a HIII or HIV icon placed next to your name.  Newly registered heroes III & IV players can ask for the same.  Win/loss reports are done in the same manner as for homm5 players, but select Heroes III Map or Heroes III Random Map for map selection, and Heroes III Game for Subtournament option... or Heroes IV Map & Heroes IV Game.

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.
