Just a thought
I'm not sure if you thought that through... But I'll bite. Faction balancing is mostly to enable as many viable ways as possible to win a PvP game.
For PvE balance is not required and if Heroes was strictly single player, I might also ask, why so much effort to balance things out. But it's not, and balancing efforts are good for the game.

I am pleased how things go out, it was just a thought that came to my mind. The world is not equal, they are stronger and weaker, they are nations who are strong naturally due to development and nations which are weak.
I like H5.5 how it is now, I just said what if the real world (if existed) would be really screwed up, not equal The theoretical discussion with a cookies and tea next to you

magnomagus said: Well, if you want a heroes game with real world balancing you can also try heroes 3.
Heroes 3 has some real issues. The demon town is too weak and you have one town (the swamp one) that is all in on a single creature (mighty gorgons). Conflux is also too powerful. Some of the mods, like the Cove one, made additional factions (the pirate one) over the top powerful. Where Heroes 3 succeeds, though, is in the flavor category, really making you feel as if you are playing the undead, elves, etc.... which is what makes it a timeless, classic game.
Heroes 5, truth be told, also had significant game mechanics issues, mostly owing to the fact that there is no class system. A faction only offered either all might or all magic heroes, and you could really only experience the creatures of that faction from that one particular angle. So, Heroes 5 had a lot of flavor potential that was never quite realized in the game mechanics.
The genuis of Heroes 5.5 is to introduce the class system, which really opens up the flavor of each faction. Now you can play Necropolis or Dungeon as a might hero, etc...
Improved game play balance helps enhances this flavor. This is what make H5.5 a classic in myop.

@Magno,
One more for the F.A.Q.
If anyone on Windows 10 has issues starting the game - dark screen after launch and then crash. Use the following guide:
1. Go to -> Heroes of Might and Magic 5 Tribes of the Eastbin
2. Then select H5_game.exe and choose the advanced settings
3. Set the program to run in compatibility mode with Windows XP Service Pack 3. (Check)!
4. Additional settings below: Disable full screen optimisation (check)!
5. Run as administrator (Check)!

Hi Guys,
One bug I want to report : Sometimes (it's the second time it happens to me), the adventure map becomes black, and only few shades and high ground are visible. and if I try to load a previous save of the same map, the problem persists.
Any suggestion?

@Marvin,
Then I dont know.
@Magno,
One more for the F.A.Q.
"I had the same issue and none of the permissions stuff was working. I found the solution after ages of trying everything. The issue turned out to be OneDrive as pointed out earlier.
I had a OneDrive folder on my PC but the app itself was not active or linked with my account I guess. It appears that the game was trying to save in the My Games folder inside the OneDrive folder. The issue was solved when I activated OneDrive. It then started syncing with My Documents and the game started saving in My Documents where it's supposed to, and everything was fine."

It should be said that MMH55-Index.pak of the RC12b has one error in MMH55-Index.pakGameMechanicsCreatureCreaturesNecropolis.
Vampire.xbd doesn't have number variable (it sould be 0) next to spell points section:
<KnownSpells/>
<SpellPoints> </SpellPoints>
<SpellPoints1>0</SpellPoints1>
<SpellPoints2>0</SpellPoints2>
<Exp>38</Exp>
That kind of missing variables could couse some unknown errors.

TOTE Necro campaign Mission 4.
There was an option to let AI control a player or something like that. You either press Ok or Cancel.
I pressed Ok and now I can’t capture the red faction, which is the demon town.
Forget getting the secondary objective of flagging all gold mines, is it even possible to clear the mission?
EDIT: Just defeated the Blue town and closed the gate but since the Infernal Lair which is Red is still there, no mission clear.
Should have restarted on first sight but I went on thinking that it was a scenario mechanic. Celestial Heavens' walkthrough should have been a dead giveaway that this wasn't the case.
Who put in such a game-breaking option in the first place? Was this mistake in the original as well?
Are the cheats still applicable? I don't want to restart the whole mission.

magnomagus said: you can use console command @Win(); to clear the mission
How do I use it and turn it on? Will it affect my ranking score or miss any cutscenes? Like how in HOMM 3 using cheats gives you the Peasant rank with the cheater sign.
On the topic for console commands, might as well ask if there is any others like for levels and skills. My Arantir and Ornella are level 24 and 20 respectively.

Are there commands to change the team settings (making enemy team your ally and vice versa), and also giving levels and skills? If there are, mind telling me what they are?
EDIT:Found the file but I can't open as it is cfg format. Help please.

Sorry for the site being down for 20 minutes, I didn't have the latest version there, so I had to deploy the new one and make the proper changes to the DB structure.
Feel free joining and playing now:
