Fabrice Cambounet, the official representative of Ubisoft, answered the questions about Heroes 5 beta-testing
18.09.2005

Here is a little bit of statistics about the first 16 days of registration of Heroes V beta-testers. About 50Number of registration requests per country:
USA = 2795 (18%)
Germany = 1788 (12%)
France = 1721 (11%)
Russia = 960 (6%)
Poland = 878 (6%)
China = 821 (5%)
Israel = 814 (5%)
Canada = 720 (5%)
Next in countries list are Finland, Spain, Romania, United Kingdom, Hungary, Sweden, Australia and Denmark. A total of 28% requests from Western Europe plus 16% from Eastern Europe against 23% from both Northern and Southern America.
The average age of beta-testers is a little bit beyond 24 years (ranged from 11 to 74). More than 9 out of 10 played Warcraft, more than 8 out of 10 - AoE and more than 6 out of 10 - Civilization. More than 90% played HMM3 or HMM4.
English and French beta-testers are a little older (25, 26) than Russians and Spanish ones (23). Polish and Israeli testers are mor ejunior (19-21 in average). Among the fans the Russians are the most active ones, coming ahead of Polish and English fans in total number of games played in all game versions.
Among 89% of the candidates, who played HMM3, 10% never played HMM4. Among 83%, played HMM4, 4% never played HMM3, so HMM3's lead is unsignificant.
Each one of five candidates played Equilibris, while about two of five played WoG. There are also three candidates, who played all the related games (all three are Americans).
The beta-testing will start next week and will last for two months. Approximate system requrements for HMM5 Beta are: Pentium IV 2 GGz, 512 MB of memory, video card of ATI 9700 - Ge5600 level or higher. Ubisoft claims that these are just the requirements for non-optimized beta version and that the final game version will be much more compact. A size of beta version is 500-600 MB. Only multiplayer mode will be tested. All the games will be played only through the server ubi.com, no hotseat will be available before the release of the final version.
Multiplayer game supports up to 8 players. Lucky candidates, selected for beta-testing, will be informed via e-mail 2 days before the beginning of the beta-testing. There are several updates of the beta version expected, and after each update additional beta-testers will be recruited. Each update will contain new multiplayer maps and new gameplay modes.
A special version of StarForce will protect the beta-version. The beta will contain all the game elements, including all 6 races. There are about 40 spells available in the game, and all of them will be in the beta (perhaps, each update will come with more spells).
The process of beta-testing will be duscussed on Ubisoft special discussion boards, and only there.
The major goal of beta-testing is to optimize the balance within the game, so we expect more official information about all the races of HMM5 00 registered during the first 24 hours and a total of 15000 registered up to now.

Sir Silver Lynx is currently on sick-leave certificate and will return as soon as he gets recovered, and we sincerelly wish him to recover as fast as possible. Meanwhile, sir Logan Warbringer, sir Vadim99, sir Banan, lady Ennaxamoun and sir Sargon, who has just returned from vacation, still watch over HeroesPortal and keep the order:)

Our offline tournaments continue. Because of these summer vacations there is a possibility of a lack of places, needed for receiving a feud in high heagues of our tournaments. In this case, use your "Royal Decrees" or gently ask queen PoisonAvi (version HMM3) in order to move players from common to high league.

In september we are going to continue developing our Library, to end our tourney with German site Drachenwald, to post the latest reports about summer meetings of our devoted players, to organize the elections of the Knights of the Round Table of 4th convocation, to refresh the maps of the feuds in  HeroesLands 3 and HeroesLands 4, and also create the maps of the feuds in HeroesLands 2 and to create new, better duel rules, which are going to be directly connected with feud maps.
