For me, in those battles I had...battlefield size wasn't the issue. Though it could be lousy when there are some crap on map, and can't move good those 2x2 creatures...

Downloaded it and have completed the "Fall of the King" scenario.
To he who asked, when you zoom in you zoom in to wherever the center of your screen is, you can move around while zoomed in by using the arrow keys to move up down and sideways, and to reposition camrea angle hold your left mouse button down and move left to right.
There seems to be a glitch at the end of the Scenario, after you have completed it you get a mini movie but then no matter whay you do you keep getting the same one every turn, then eventually for no appearant reason you get the final much longer and out of synch mini movie.
A few things of note
1) Training rocks. Turn all those conscripts into archers and you have an unstoppable force.
2) Pit fiends only get 11 spell points, which measn they get one fire ball and one Vulnerability, which is pretty lame for a level 6 creature, and for some reason they can not move and attack. They can attack units ajacent to them, but takes two turns to attack others.
3) Imps take a ridiculously huge amount of spell points from heroes.
They're a level one creature and routinely take every single spell point from your Hero before he gets to move. Definitely overpowered.
4) This seems to be the game of Cavaliers / Paladins and not Angels, possibly the same way for other factions, lvl 6 units seem to be much more in play even end game.

Have only been playing it for an hour or so. Took a while for me to get used to the 3D (especially during battle), but now that I have I like it. Although I wouldn't have the battle speed set on anything other than fast.
Some questions:
Is there a trick to getting troops out of the castle and giving them to the hero? Only sometimes can I drag them in. The pop-down for building things is a bit confusing for me too. Hopefully I will get there - definately not giving up.
Impressions so far, good . I love the inferno 
Edit: Now my hero is stuck in the castle as well, really can anyone help, I've looked through the altar and no luck there.

first imresion is good but random maps are needed at most for the release version.
Main problem for now - the adventure map is very poor from tresures and enemies.The first screen has only 2 tresures in this demo.
In my opinion in duel it will be better if we can customize the hero to some level and then fight

I can't agree more, Random map is what makes the game really worth it for me.
I know there won't be random maps in the game 
..let's hope they put it in for the next add-on, or maybe patche ? (we can always dream  )

I finished the 2 campaigns, the thing I did in first map was gettingcastle and capitol asap, then buildup the defences. Later on you can leave one hero in castle (Godric) and explore with isabel, after you capture their town (Inferno), they stop attacking...

Tried everyting.... single doest work, it is funny because both homm v and etherlords 2 were made on the same game engine. When etherlords 2 worked fine (NO LAG AT ALL!!!) on my pc, homm v doesnt.
My configurations is:
Pentium 3 866
Geforce MX 440
1 gig cash
Games such as Doom 3, HL 2 and NFSU:2 work fine.
Can anyone explain what is so special about homm v?
P.S. dont tell me that it is a great game, because i already know that

Your processor speed is much below minimum requirements.
Also, this place seems more active concerning H5 tech issues, try there: http://forums.ubi.com/groupee/forums?a=frm&s=400102&f=4611096804

Still having trouble moving troups out of the castle (esp inferno). I have had to restart a number of times after getting my hero stuck in there Is there a keyboard function or something that will allow me to do it, the drag just bounces back.

Yes, it took me a bit to figure out too. You know how when you drag a unit, there's a pointer on the upper left corner? Aim that in the middle of the desired new location

hey guys.
I successfully downloaded h5 demo.. and no problems loading or anything.. so i began to play it with excitement...
anyway! i was posted up in dunmoor and the enemy hero attacks me in the castle... about midway thru i go to attack his devils with my griffins and all of a sudden a huge chunk of the map disappears.. including the castle walls... suddenly my griffins are on the other side of the field.. and somehow my archers got BEHIND my hero (!) other then that theres nothing left beside the imps corpse and the enemy hero. but apparently i can still move and/or attack the enemy.. but i cant see mine or theirs.. interesting.
