Welcome to the forums Serpent2! I'm sorry my initial answer was a bit cold but I was in a hurry so I just posted some answers and left. I hope you will anjoy your time here and feel free to ask when you have any questions. Usually the search button shows which threads have what you seek but it can be easier to just ask, there are quite a few helpful people around!
Also i was a bit brief with my replies as there are many things to tell and it would take pages! The fan manual will clear some things: http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=19045

About the forums
1. What do those yellow stars mean


Post count so you'll gain them anyway.

2. What do Those red stars mean

Quality posts. If you show good humour or a good knowledge on H5 you will be awarded with a red star.

4. What is the highest number of yellow stars that you can gain

That would be 6 I think.

5. What is the highest number of red stars that you can gain

Not sure but they do not directly show how many quality bonuses you have. You may have 6 stars but have 20 qps.

About HoMM5
1. What do the hero stats ATK.; DEF.; Spellpower; Knolage; Morale; Luck and mana mean What difference do they make in the game


Attack adds a percentage to the units' damage. Defence reduces damage partially if it is higher that the attacker's attack stat. Spellpower makes magic more effective while knowledge affects your mana and its regeneration per day. 10 knowledge means you have 100 mana and you gain 10 per day if you have less that the maximum amount. Different classes favour different attributes.

2. Same questions about the creature stats ATK.; DEF.; Damagge and initiative.

Attack is the same though you add the hero modifier to the units, same goes for defense. Damage you should know and initiative measures how fast a unit acts. It's not as in previous heroes where all units played once per turn-now there are no rounds and you get to play more times with a high initiative and thus cause more damage that those with low initiative. If a unit has twice another's initiative it will play two times faster etc.


About HoMM and MM games other than HoMM5
1. Are there Paches or expansions for any MM game. How many and what are they?


We have only one addon Hammers of Fate that introduces the dwarven faction. Currently we have 1.4 patch for the original H5 and 2.1 for Hammers of Fate.

2. Are there paches and/or expansion packs for HoMM1 How many and what are they

Nope! H2 followed.

3. Are there paches for heroes 2,3 and/or 4 how many and what are they

Well there were a few patches for H3 and the equilibris for H4. I cannot help much here I'm afraid! Do you plan on playing them all?!

4.What is heroes chronicles

A standalone title with H3 graphics and gameplay featuring the life of the immortal hero Tarnum through a series of mini campaigns. It shows things about the H3 universe as the time passes from the past to just before H4 starts.

With MM I meant "Might and Magic" not "heroes of might and magic"

You may have a bit of difficulty playing most of the older MM games in Vista. None of the MM games had expansions as far as I know. The closest thing is Swords of Xeen, a standalone expansion to World of Xeen (by someone other than 3DO if I remember correctly).

Wasn't Heroes II kind of a big expansion for Heroes I?

I mean, it basically addded a lot, and changed almost nothing.

(I like them both, not meaning any disrespect.  also, good job at answering, Elvin)

Little correction :
Maximum number of yellow stars is seven.
See Aculias and Lord Woock that had got seven red stars.

Yellow Stars
0 = Tavern Dweller
1 = Hired hero
2 = Adventuring Hero
3 = Known Hero
4 = Famous Hero
5 = Supreme Hero
6 = Legendary Hero
7 = Undefeatable Hero

Red Stars
0 = Disgraceful
1 = Bad-mannered
2 = (No Status)
3 = Promising
4 = Responsible
5 = Honorable
6 = Admirable

Let's see, added two factions, some new spells and a brand new spell system, plenty of maps and artifacts, bigger battle field.  But they are very similar.  So much that I was able to play it easily, after playing two for much longer.

Yeah the basic factions remained but many things were improved or added. Most notably the introduction of skills and the triple upgrade from green->red->black dragons in dungeon!

Did you remember to check the "Show Signature: add your profile signature to this message." option under your post (while writing the post). Or better still check the always show my signature option at the bottom of your profile?

Less than 20 posts: No yellow stars. Rank: Tavern Dweller
21 posts: 1 yellow star. Rank: Hired Hero
51 posts: 2 yellow stars. Rank: Adventuring Hero
121 posts: 3 yellow stars. Rank: Known Hero
301 posts: 4 yellow stars. Rank: Famous Hero
801 posts: 5 yellow stars. Rank: Supreme Hero.
2001 posts: 6 yellow stars. Rank: Legendary Hero.



Although this is a bit outdated, now there is also the Undefeatable Hero Rank. I guess you need 5001 post for that one.

Quote:
3 red stars, you need a quality count of +3. Prefix: Promising.
4 red stars, you need a quality count of +8. Prefix: Responsible
5 red stars, you need a quality count of +15. Prefix: Honorable.
6 red stars: Prefix: Admirable.

If you look at the chart you'll see that the Admirable rank is still undefined, so the Honorable is the highest rank. We have many Honorable heroes, but only 2 Undefeatables: Aculias and Lord_Woock, and out of those 2 only Woock has the Honorable rank. (Aculias is Responsible).
