New Creatures Framework (or NCF) is an unofficial expansion module for HOMM5 Tribes of the East. After the release of the last patch for Heroes V the idea of adding new creatures arose and thus NCF was born. Originally created by SimonaK and now maintained by the community the NCF enables players to make new creatures by editing the in-game textures and making unique set of stats and abilities for them. The purpose of this page is to concentrate all NCF knowledge on how to make creatures and already created files that include such in one convenient place.
