Again we inform you about the upcoming Heroes of Might & Magic V game. Although there is nothing to report just yet. Everything goes according to Ubisoft plans.

Today, 8 new artifacts have been added to our market of special artifacts. These can be used in Heroes Portal's online tourneys.
The feud maps in «Heroes Lands 4» have been updated for the following continents:
Might
Life
Death
Nature
Also, we welcome three new Kings and a Queen in these lands (see the details in the Ranks section of the Rules). Long live Sir Vicont, Sir Vadim99, Sir Aiden and Lady Airmage! Thus, their former clan "Aces" have fulfilled its mission and exists no more. We'd like to use this opportunity to wish an equally succesful fate to all of the remaining 18 clans registered at our Portal.
Lady Ara is responsible for the feud maps, so speak with her if you can't find some of your estates on the map. Remember that every feud must be present on the feud maps!
"Here, while standing in this circle, let us thank Creator for the deliverance he brought us.
And let this circle be the symbol of our deeds.
Each one standing here will be equal to another.
And each one will indefatigably struggle for truth and honor."
(King Arthur).
