Adding 9th town to H5

Hi,

I havent been following Heroes 5 mods for few years but recently I have played this game again and I have started to wonder about it.
As far as I remember there were some atttempts to replace existing town with new one like conflux for academy.

Where there any successfull attempts to add new town to Heroes 5? If not what seemed to be problematic? Are people still trying to figure it out? Were modders trying to contact someone from Nival to figure it out?

Hey shev441,

Welcome back! Here are some answers.

Adding 9th town has not been accomplished yet.
The reason is that all dependencies for towns are embedded in the exe and there are probably hundreds of them.

Does anyone works towards 9th town? I don't know.
I certainly do but it is still far down the road if ever possible.

Like you, I'm also new to this game.

Are we talking about adding a 9th race, as their are 8 races after ToE.
Or are we talking about adding a ninth castle to map for in game playability, not related to how many specific races or players in game, as I've played few games where you often get two towns of the same race per player, less than 8 players however.
Or are you referring to 8 players? Though a stretch. But their are only 8 players max in a game.

Just asking for clarity.
I'm actually making a 6 player FFA with an extra 3 towns, neutral, stronghold, with the barbaric race banned from random selection, so the players kind of race to capture an off island Barbaric town to reinforce their race. SO. I'm hoping I can make this map with 9 towns total.

Can anyone verify?

We're most certainly talking about adding 9th faction. Unfortunately, i highly doubt it'll be ever done. At least not without access to the game source code.
Tho, adding new faction is kinda possible by the use of new creatures and some complex scripting. But it will never be a "complete faction". There still will be no 9th town, no 9th racial skill etc...
