Dear visitors! Unfortunately, our main programmer has a vacation now, and you can observe a slight malifunction of the script, responsible for displaying names of visitors in «Tavern»(forum). This script also shows visitors, gathering behind our «Barstand» (chat), so its malifunction caused some communication problems via these sections of the portal, but they still work. This error will be fixed as soon as our main programmer returns from his vacation. We apologize for these temporary problems with forum and chat.

Rumours and conjectures concerning a new sequel of Heroes have been soaring in the internet for a long time, we have managed to obtain latest information on this project from a reliable but secret source. It is necessary to say that we are drawing many conclusions ourselves on the basis of known facts, but they are obvious: the project Heroes of Might and Magic V is alive! And not simply alive, its work is going on by all means. The company Ubisoft is not in a hurry to announce the developer of the game officially, but according to information from network forums this team of developers is from Russia, moreover, all shows it is a best Russian games developer - Nival! What it means? To all appearances, the basis of new Heroes will be powerful game engine from Silent Storm (recently released step-by-step tactics of second world war). It seems work on Heroes has been conducted since this winter (that is about half a year), provided game engine is ready, it means we shall see the game approximately in one year (by autumn 2005). We also knew that there would be built-in editor of maps in the game, it is not clear if it will be simple in use (as game engine is completely 3D). And to all appearances 5-th part will resemble Heroes 3 to a great extent, it means the publisher and developer decided to follow wishes of players. We shall see what we shall see. Most likely announcement of new Heroes will be timed to one of European autumn expositions. We’ll be waiting Game Convention in Leipzig, Game Star Live in London! We’ll receive the latest information directly from places of events:) therefore do not switch the channel and stay with us!:)
