Today we release the update you all have been waiting for, the new complete version of Heroes 5.5 with all 12 campaigns. The new revised campaigns will have much better gameplay than the old RC13 release, it will not only include all gameplay updates of RC14 and RC15, but also include many unique improvements to the campaigns themselves.
Warning: Use the mod's uninstaller before installing this version!
5000+ new mixed neutral stacks in the campaign instead of boring single stack fights.
A million bugs in the campaign have been fixed (ok not that much but far too much to go to the trouble of mentioning them all),
All campaign scripts are updated for use with the new AI, never play the campaign with _Utility.exe file, this will cause AI movement bugs.
level caps are less strict and go up to around 40 in the last mission mostly.
all your equipped artifacts will carryover between missions except movement artifacts, skillbooks, gold bags, wands, scrolls and the tear of asha. Unequipped artifacts will be lost.
Trading posts can sell you mana potions and movement potions.
campaign will have beautiful new graphics from RC15 (for those updating from RC13)
campaign is adjusted for new standard battlefield size of 14x12 squares, but features like town conversion, governance, dimension doors and mine control are off, since they conflict with the original storytelling and objectives.
The AI doesn't cheat on any difficulty in campaign mode, but may have predefined larger start armies as in original game. Since the new AI concentrates power better it is recommended to be careful with the difficulty setting as this combined with mixed neutrals will make the game harder than vanilla, but still very doable on normal difficulty.

Today we release RC16b, a bugfix update for both multiplayer and the campaigns. Unfortunately RC16 was not as bugfree as we had hoped, so we uploaded a complete re-release, apologies for the inconvenience.

If you are updating from an older version then use the mod's uninstaller first!

Why Kaspar are not Necromancer?!

Where? In custom game he is Death Knight. Does he appear in campaign and if so what hero class he is ? In campaign heroes should be a class similar to what they are in campaign, if they are not this is an oversight from our side.

Please also mention a mission name if relevant.
I do not remember him in campaingns but in the original game Kaspar are a Necromancer with specialisation is Embalmer "The First Aid Tent will heal 5 more hit points per hero level. The damage in case of PlagueTent ability is also increased." and his bio "Kaspar was a great doctor and healer who was able to cure even the most terrible wounds. Delving deeper and deeper into the secrets of life and death, Kaspar made a particularly risky experiment that went wrong... and brought him to the realm of the dead. Though he now leads an undead army, his knowledge of anatomy and the treating of wounds remains unparalleled."!
Therefore in my humble opinion this is clearly not a Death Knight but like a Necromancer!

How to cancel the generation of mixed creatures in a multiplayer game, so as not to wait 10-30 seconds. And I noticed a bug that it is impossible to see the hero in a network game with two mouse clicks. Как отменить генерацию смешанных существ в сетевой игре, чтобы не ждать 10-30 сек. И заметил баг что нельзя двумя щелчками мыши, посмотреть героя в сетевой игре.
