Today we propose you a new poll. This time, your opinion will be of value to an online game developers company, With your help, they hope to create a quality product. So, we ask you to vote: "Should heroes' weapons and armor in the game look like real ones from Middle Ages or be stylized?" Also, if you are a game developer yourself and wish to post such polls at HeroesPortal, please contact us at [email protected]
So, there was a quiet and humble party in Moscow, dedicated to the release of Heroes of Might and Magic V. The guys from Nival have invented a magnificent formula for a presentation:
1. Official part - three minutes.
2. Strip-tease - three hours and a half.
Today, a new summer season has begun for our online tourneys. We also remind you that, besides the traditional tourneys in HoMM2, HoMM3 and HoMM4, there is also an open tourney in HoMM5.

You may ask your questions about this game here. And here you'll find a full list of all offline tourneys currently open. Also, we are now finishing the spring season of online tourneys and opening the new summer season. Additional details will be provided later.

No, it's not what you are thinking of. :) There is no maps section for Heroes of Might and Magic V yet, as we don't have any new maps for it except the ones being provided with the game itself. But we will add maps for this version as soon as you provide some... Which would be a hard task, as the game doesn't have a map editor for now.
Today we've just cleaned our map library a bit. Low quality maps have been deleted, as well as those added with mistakes. Please leave your comments for the maps, they are a big help for us to maintain the map base.
The team needs a php programmer. His main task will be making and filling the sections of HeroesPortal). A candidate should be keen on the Heroes of Might and Magic universe and well prepared for the team-work.

We also need a tourney manager for Heroes of Might and Magic V game version. The main requirements are interest and good knowledge of the Heroes V.

You may send links to other websites as well, don't forget to write the post numbers. Send everything to [email protected]
Today, by a recommendation by the Knights of the Round Table, we've revised and updated the Rules of the Round Table. Also, from now, all games in the "Citadel of Heroes" and "Wild Lands" tourneys will be taken into account when summing up the annual game ratings.
Following another Knights' of the Round Table recommendation, we also introduce reverse exchange rate: arroba for US dollars. See the rate at the bottom of the page.
If you are having trouble with understanding any sections of our rules, please leave your comments here. They will be collected and analysed by the Knights of the Round Table of our Portal.
So, there are only a few days left until the release of Heroes of Might and Magic V. There is an information about a data leakage resulting in a disk image with the full version of the game already available for download on the Internet. So be sure to check the authenticity of the game when purchasing it.
We also invite you to participate in a contest: "Race question from Nival".
Last week, we've updated the section once again. But the update included just about 20 works, as nearly half of the maps we've received were turned down for not meeting our minimal requirements. Dear mapmakers! If you wish to have your works added to our collection, please try to make them worthy of it!
During the following two weeks, we will be "cleaning" the section. Problematic or outdated versions of some maps will be deleted, as well as the maps with serious bugs. All mapmakers who wish to delete their less successful maps may send a notice to [email protected].
