EXPANSION PACK COMBINER
Guide by Tore Andersen

 

Heroes of Might & Magic 5 was the first game in the series to be developed by Nival, following the unfortunate closure of 3DO. It was released by Ubisoft in 2006. The game comes with 2 expansion packs: "Hammers of Fate" and "Tribes of the East". Unfortunately, they were made as separate installments, instead of expanding content to the original game. This patch will put all 3 games into one, enhance the AI (Optionally), and improve performance on newer systems.
