Community patch
For most of the games that I have played in the past year that are more than a year old, there exists at least a community patch or a successful mod(Heroes III-wog, Civ 4-fall from heaven II, diablo 2-eastern sun, age of wonders II--community patchs, Oblivion--numerous mods, etc), it seems to be the direction that games are going. While there are a huge number of started projects to add new units, try to add new factions, etc, what seems to be lacking in this community is a simple balance patch that has more than a cpl of people behind it.
Just as a small example, when reading feedback on the latest ubi patch, I saw numerous complaints about them not addressing any of the balance concerns, such as arcane archers vs master hunters. While I'm a bit rusty on the meta game, it seems to me that if we were to discuss and test minor changes(for example, a first step could be to drop arcane archers by 1 damage point, and bump up master hunters min or max damage by 1(expected damage would raise by 1 due to two attacks)).
Honestly I don't probably have the experience to make too many suggestions, but I'm sure many of you do, and a good number of you could come to an agreement on which alternate upgrades are under/overpowered enough that the other alternate gets almost no use, and which hero specialties/starting skills are just too good/weak, and with a number of minor tweaks that would take longer to agree on then to implement, could achieve what ubi doesn't seem willing to do, improving the balance of the existing units and heroes in the game.
I'll admit I'm rather new to the community, and something like this may already exist, but if it does, I couldn't find it and it doesn't seem to be well advertised.
How much interest would there be in both helping to figure out what changes need to be made and using something like this?

you're right on a lot of thing you say.
For my share, I have all the best of all existing mods for H5.
(AI, user interface graphics, heroes, creatures, gameplay, etc etc)
but not an big deal pack with all of that inside.
