Heroes V Manual - Made by Fans, Approved by Ubisoft

We have created the manual(s) for you, with the help of the international HOMM community and support from Ubisoft and Nival. We published the first versions on august 1st 2006, and have been improving them since then.

We are committed to bringing you the latest up to date information, in as many languages as possible, and for free! We really appreciate all the kind words you have to say about our work, and value your feedback.

"The result is beyond our expectations for the quality and level of detail"

Fabrice Cambounet, Heroes 5 Producer
