how do I install the pak files?

Are you going to rebalance the algorithm which gives the AI the more units out of thin air the longer it takes for you to get there? AI does not play Heroes 5. It just gets units automatically which is the worst scam in Heroes history. By week three all AI players and monsters will accumulate hundreds of units of each type. The difficulty over monsters breaks down and says "low" which is based on the AI and general rising difficulty even though all of my four dragons and 20 unicorns are losing

The map Battle for Androna has enough space to develop so made lvl 26 druid with spell power 30. Now the mines have monsters worth of 30000 xp, which provides only one more level to the hero. The stacks kill all the low level units. The game in general is impossible with units so I managed with just high lvl magic and no units. Also the spell Celestial Shield required lvl 60 spell power in order to grant immortality. The strongers heros are all AI and my hero would lose to them. I have no units to spare. And this on the normal difficulty

I am reporting an unexpected and positive behavior. My LG 49UJ651V TV changes its backlight and contrast setting to 95 automatically when I launch MM7-Rel.exe (Maestro), MM7.exe (probably modified by mmt_3d3_screen.bat and mmt_d3d_textures.bat), but not with mm7_new.exe (came in the classes patch). The TV uses game mode for HDMI, which is supposed to be at the levels I chose and not change for each game specifically. They return back to the set game mode levels after closing MM7.

I suspect that mm7-Rel.exe doesn´t use the new_classes.exe fix, which package includes a different mm7_new.exe. The new textures and resolution also work on the former but not the latter. Also new_classes.exe is 16 bit, which can´t be run in Win10.

The instructions on the Maestro mod file page say "

4) If you want to use better textures use - mmt_d3d_textures.bat. This patch works only with original MM7! In the MOD the patch will occur you to meet invisible monsters! So that you should firstly convert the textures, and ONLY then install the Maestro Mod."

This is confusing, because I did install the textures.bat last, used a GOG 1.1V hotfix installer and still have orcs in the place of fireflies, not invisible.
