Testing the bug giving access to all dynasty weapons
I heard about this bug and I wanted to test in which conditions it appears.
As this bug appeared in Inferno campaign map 4, I proceeded as follows :
- extract the map from data.orc file : I used the orc2zip tool to extract the map from Data2.orc. The map is called inferno_4.scn.
- copy the map in the scenario folder (for Windows 7 : C:\Users\Standard\Documents\Might & Magic Heroes VI\Scenario)
- launch the game and choose to play Custom game > Scenario ; the Inferno 4 map is called The marriage of Heaven and Hell
- travel westward ; on day 2, you will find an artifact, that can be any artifact included in the game. By restarting the map many times, this artifact will be any of the dynasty weapons.
During my tests, the artifact was :
- any of the "standard" dynasty weapons :
> Sword of the griffin, Iron feather, Arachne, Silksword of the kirin, Sword of whistlebone, Souldrinker, Sword of the wolf, Malathua's cleaver, Angelic alliance, Blade of binding
> Heartrending song, Soulreaver staff, Staff of the tides, Thunder staff, Staff of Sandro
- any of the bonus weapons : Perfect silksword, Assassin's blade, Dragon flame tongue, Edge of chaos, Staff of Asha's eightfold, Batu's totem, Staff of cleansing, The oblivion, Will of Urgash
- and both dynasty weapons from DLCs (although I didn't buy the DLCs) : Sword of the pirate king, Staff of the netherworld.

I thought they had fixed this issue in patch 1.8. I played through the campaigns with that version and remembered this bug, so I tried again. Despite numerous restarts, no Dynasty weapons appeared for me then. Did they reintroduce it in 2.1?

The bug was fixed by introducing a new version of this map : Inferno_4v1.2 (contained in file Data8.orc).
But as the original map is still existing in file Data2.orc, it is possible to reproduce it by extracting the map Inferno_4 and playing it as solo map (through Custom game menu, instead of Campaign).

I have the retail stand alone H6 and just updated to SOD, it all looks like its working fine. It appears when SOD installs from the disk it deletes the old H6 install.
One question, my wife and I are trying to play hot seat but we cant select a dungeon hero so we cant play with the new dungeon team?

we finished the first part of the campaign for the Dark Elves and then found dungeon heroes available, I was pretty sure they were not on offer before that. maaaaybe I was mistaken.

It works as described with the inferno_4.scn from data2.orc. It is very tedious. I've tried it and it takes 10-20 restarts to get a dynasty weapon, more to get a new one. Not sure if any of them are better than the ones I got via normal play.
