ELO
To improve our online multiplayer community, we implemented a new leaderboard system into the server that allows all of our members to play 'ranked games'. This works similar as the ELO system used internationally for Chess. If you play a ranked game for the first time you will be added to the leaderboard with an ELO rating of 1500 and as your rating goes up or down you can see how well you play compared to other H55 players. For more information check our discord link at the start of this article.
Hi,
Very good mod ! I play it since a long time now.
I have problem using it with the utility64.exe (to play multiplayer with AI) on this version (I am sure it worked well with version "rc17f").
The problem is that some AI start to hang during their turns (starting at ~4 weeks and more). We need to wait until their turn are automatically ended by the game.
I tested to continue the game alone and it sill hang so maybe it is the same playing sologame with Utility64.exe.
I have no problem so far with the "normal" Heroes5564.exe in sologame.
Maybe the utility.exe AI doesn't know how to handle the new Casino building ?
Do you have advices ? :)
Thank !
do you say that because you saw an AI hero stuck on visiting a casino?, because otherwise there is no special reason why that would be the case.
it might be a desync in LAN, if you say 'continue alone' it will likely not be repaired unless you start a new map

Hi Team,
After installing this patch, I lost audio to the game, is this expected or a bug that is currently present?
Never heard of such bug before.
Hey, why do my treasure chests(gold or xp) only give 100 gold?
Map scripts are not activated check the step in this guide Moddb.com
Hi, i have the same problem and i activated the scripts but chests still give me 100 gold...
Hey,
Just recently downloaded the Mod (love the concept), but it seems like Necropolis has been ruined. In 15 different rush builds of the Mage Guild the Raise Dead spell has never shown up, and only one hero starts with it. This seems like a huge flaw as the faction kind of relies on that spell for survivability in the early game. Is this intentional or is there an error here?
Raise Dead is a level 3 dark spell. It should pop in Magic Guild level 3 with a chance as any other dark spell. It can also be learnt through Dark Magic skill tree if the Necro hero gets the "Pariah" perk.
How does one use creature abilities(Wolf's clone or Griffin's Dive for example)? I don't have a button for it in the UI... Spellbooks for casters (Liches, Druids, etc) do work though.
Addendum: it appears sometimes(same slot where the spellbook is), 50/50
abilities that can be activated (Griffin's Dive) are cast from the Spellbook button. Passive abilities are cast when a condition is met (Wolf's clone - when the Wolf stack attacks) .
question when did thralsai became a trickster? and lost his hydra tamer speciality?
He is Overlord and has Hydra specialization. Where do you see him changed? If it is in campaigns that is only to preserve the original idea behind the campaigns.
unless I installed something wrong this is what I got (printscreen):
