Heroes 5 Lords of the Horde

Heroes 5 Lords of the Horde is the second official addition to the original Heroes of Might and Magic V, which gives you the opportunity to play for the horde. For a long time, the Orcs were under the yoke of the empire, but they no longer want to endure slavery and humiliation, and therefore they begin to fight for freedom.

A well-known Canadian team called Ubisoft Entertainment worked on the creation of the supplement.

Gameplay Features

The main innovation was the addition of completely new three campaigns with perfectly prescribed plot tasks. In addition to the main tasks, many secondary quests have also been done.

Among the main innovations , it is necessary to highlight:

• more than sixty new units;
• The new faction is the Great Horde of Orcs;
• eight new spells for heroes;
• ten new sets of armor;
• added so-called prefabricated artifacts that give bonuses for the entire faction;
• a new type of landscape – taiga;
• locations drawn from scratch;

Otherwise, the gameplay does not differ from the original fifth part. The user can choose one of the factions and a hero, each of which has a number of unique skills and is able to assemble an army.

All battles take place in a step-by-step mode on the battlefield, which resembles a chessboard. The units look like pieces that need to be moved around the cells (some fight from a distance). During the battle, the hero (the owner of the army) can conjure various abilities that cause damage to the enemy, heal their units and improve their performance.

The game also has a leveling system for heroes and units – for victory or defeat, they are awarded experience points, which can be spent on acquiring new skills and
