Miscellaneous
The expansion will be stand alone. This means it will not require the homm v original game to be installed to play.
TotE will include 10 multiplayer and five single-player maps.
Characters from Dark Messiah of Might & Magic will appear to bring an unexpected twist to this multi-layered plot.
This will be the last expansion pack for HoMM5
There will be Necropolis campaign in the game!
There will be four campaigns: an introductory Orc campaign, and then another Orc campaign, a Necropolis campaign, and an Academy campaign. Isabel, Freyda, Duncan, Wulfstan and Zehir will return; Arantir (the primary villain in Dark Messiah) will also make an appearance. The Orcs hate the Demons and wish to battle Biara.
Does anyone know an exact release date?
Why take away ranged ability from assassins??? That is so stupid. I mean Dungeon units suck enough already(except for Black Dragons of course), why make them suck even more? Besides whats gonna happen when you play a hot seat game with a friend who happens to sit right next to you? Do you just wait for him to target the tile where the unit is standing or tell him: \"dude can you close your eyes for a sec while I hide my stalkers\". That is so stupid, did that idea come from the maker of the Leprechauns?
OMG!!! ...Skeleton Warriors? At least they were somewhat annoying when they were ranged, now they can suck along side with Zombies. This is ridiculous , its like taking away the roundhouse kick from Chuck and giving him a wooden leg for looks.
Isabel is not a demon,Biara use demonic magic to look like Isabel!
THE RALESE DATE IS
SEP 25!!!!
Orcs will be strongerand cooler than Haven

New features
Each downgraded creature will have an alternative upgrade available, giving two possible choices for upgrading each creature (the exact implementation of this is unknown)
A new faction will be add - the Orcs
There will be artifact sets, where the complete set gives certain bonuses and an incomplete set gives other bonuses.
The new orc faction will be called, "Bastion". The main Bastion hero will be riding some sort of oxen. (Maybe a bull) There will be a new alternate upgrade for every creature in every faction. (including Bastion)
*What you read previously is fact*
*Rumors* The Orc faction town will look like an indian camp-site with indian looking buildings and such. The tier 7 Bastion creature is the Cyclops, and it is said that its attack power goes up to 50! That is POWERFUL!!
the game will introduce cool stuff
Alternative upgrades
Alternative upgrades will bring 49 new creatures.
Players will be able to recruit both the new and classic upgrades in the same town. They will be choices of upgraded creatures with different powers and capabilities, not an extra tier of more powerful creatures.
The Sylvan, Dungeon and Inferno alternative upgrades have been announced.
You will be able to retrain one upgrade into the other, so you never make any final decisions on which upgrade you can use.
Alternative necro. upgrades have been shown.
Alternative Academy upgrades have been released, and the new creature abilities have been detailed.
Renegades will be the new Haven-Alternatives.
fortress alts. have been released
Orcs: miscellaneous
Orcs are affected by Morale.
They come from the Plains of Ranaar
Orcs are not green, but orange / tan / red
THe orc town isn\'t called Bastion,the town will be named Stronghold!
Orc town will be called Stronghold
Orcs: heroes and skills
The Orc-racial Ability will be called Battle Rage. Also the Orcs will be the most Might based faction.
The Orc hero will be the Barbarian, strong on attack and completely against the use of magic. He's basically a might hero, but has some "Spellbreaker" type abilities that allow him to reduce the effects of enemy magic on his units. All units in the Orcish army possess the unique ability of being subordinate to the call of the blood, they become more enraged: more martial and more aggressive. But the main thing is the more active they are, the better they battle.
Orc Heroes won't be able to cast spells
- Orcs Racial Skill: Blood Rage
Blood Rage will work passively: every time an Orc unit performs an action (other than Defend or Wait), it will gain some adrenaline points (filling a sort of "rage bar"). Conversely, when staying passive, it will lose adrenaline points. Each unit will have 3 thresholds, gaining a specific bonus each time [see alexrom66 quote below for an example].
Any rage bonus will be obtained for the rest of the battle, as long as the rage bar stays above the corresponding threshold. Orcs have thus a big incentive not to stay passive in combat, as they would become weaker. The rage level is not kept from one combat to another, but the starting rage level can be increased by the hero. There will be numerous ways to influence the blood rage through hero development [maybe artifacts as well, or war cries?].
== More details on Blood Rage, from heroes.ag.ru contributor alexrom66 (also sourced from KRI-2007):
Highest rate of filling "rage bar" gives melee attack that executed by orc's stack. Middle rate of filling bar gives melee attack performed by enemies against orc's stack. Slow rate of filling bar gives ranged attack performed by enemies against orc's stack.
And there are many other actions that fills "rage bar" (almost all actions with exclusion of Wait and Defend). For example, the shamaness fill her rage bar by cast spells, sacrificing goblins.
There will be 3 levels of "rage" bonuses to stack. Bonuses will be awarded to stack automatically after rage bar is filled to certain level. First bonus is easy to get: it needs 1-2 melee attacks by stack; but higher level bonuses will require much more "rage points".
Each type of creature gives its own bonuses. For example, Orc (level 3 unit of Stronghold) on 1st level of rage gets bonuses to HP and speed; on 2nd, bonus to attack; on 3nd, Double Attack ability.
By default, the rage bar is empty in the beginning of combat. But special building in orc's town gives small starting bonus to "rage points" in the beginning of combat. For example, if that building will be built in 4 orc's towns than orc stacks will be enter in combat already having 1st level rage bonus.
Rage points are affected by morale,wait and defend command attacking enemy units,eating and sacrificing goblins,and taking enemy hits or sustaining casualties
New Barbarian skill is named \"Voice\". You can clearly see the icon and name for this skill behind the \"memory of our blood\" level up screen. It\'s an icon of a barbarian screaming with \"basic voice\" written next to it. Considering the elimination/substitution of the magic-based skills, it would be a logical assumption that \"Voice\" would replace \"Sorcery\" in the Barbarian skill set.
You can find the image on the pcgames.de review. It\'s the ninth screenshot.
Orcs: creatures
Cyclopses and goblins are to be in orkish town.
Pao Kai will be in the Orcish Town.

Miscellaneous
The addon will be released in the period September - October.
There will be no trace of the storyline from Dark Messiah even though the orcish kin have originated from that game
Spells (see source)
heres a queation for fans to look up
do you have to build a third building to get the alternative upgrade or do both upgrades share the same building???
there will be some kind of old mm storyline easter-egg implaced.
UK box shot
the succubus temptress\' seduce will only affect lvl 1-4 creatures and it is dispelable
Isaqbel is A demon
Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East set to be released on September 28th, 2007.
TotE is scheduled for release by Ubisoft Entertainment on September 28, 2007.
I hope the skeleton warriors wont suck like normal skeleton
It would seem that the latest release date is 9 oct 2007 for europe and 12 oct for the Us
New features
Combination artifacts of some sort ("combo-based Artifact Power Link" - Alcibiades suggests this is in fact supposed to read "combo-based Artifacts, Power Link" i.e. there are two features here)
You will be able to sell artifacts.
Alternative upgrades
There is evidence both for and against the Renegades being the alternative Haven upgrades; most likely the Renegades will be used as the alternatives
The Mage's alternate upgrade is Battle Mage - which does more damage when shooting but cannot cast spells
The alternative upgrade to the Squire loses the shield and equips a two-handed sword. As with the battle mage it seems that low damaging units units may get an offensive upgrade.
The new upgraded version of the Footman has no helmet on it's head but long brown hair
nosferatu should have magic proof in order to counter align with enemy spellcasters. although there is magic proof on skeletal warrior but still it may not be consistent..
Why not make the Haven faction more \"holy\"?! And make the angel a guardian if light?!
Orcs: miscellaneous
The new orc race is called "Horde"
There will be special buildings - Heaps of Trophies, which will help orcs when they battle
There will be a slave market building where creatures can be traded for resources (like HoMM3's Freelancer's Guild)
The Orc town will be called Bastion
Orcs: heroes and skills
Orcs will be able to cast only adventure spells.
In battle, when an orc warrior stands still or does not attack, his characteristics will start to decrease
This corresponds to the Battle Rage skill, which boosts statistics so long as Orc units are attempting to do damage to another creature
Battle Rage works with an adrenaline-bar, which fills with each (un)succesfull attack. The more the bar fills the more damage the units do. The bar will deplete if the player does not attack for x turns. (source is mentioned somewhere in the Tribes announced thread, but I can't seem to find it.)
The orcs hate humans and mages
Orcs: creatures
The lineup is:
1) Goblin
1a) Goblin upgrade 1
1b) Goblin upgrade 2
2) Centaur
2a) Centaur upgrade 1
2a) Centaur upgrade 2
3) Orc warrior
3a) Orc warrior upgrade 1
3b) Orc warrior upgrade 2
4) Orc shaman
4a) Orc shaman upgrade 1
4b) Orc shaman upgrade 2
5) Orc warlord
5a) Orc warlord upgrade 1
5b) Orc warlord upgrade 2
6) Pao Kai
6a) Pao Kai upgrade 1
6b) Pao Kai upgrade 2
7) Cyclops
7a) Cyclops upgrade 1
7b) Cyclops upgrade 2
Images may be wrong!
No Behemoths will appear in TotE :( We ca just hope.
Goblins will be able to be sacrificed / eaten / thrown by higher-level creatures
Centaurs may be a mix of Orc and horse, as opposed to the usual human and horse
Goblins desert you when their numbers are reduced by three quarters
A few unit names have been suggested:
Goblin > Goblin Shaman / Goblin Hunter
Centaur > Centaur Nomad / Centaur Marauder
Wyvern > Pao-kai
Orcs
1) Goblin shamans have the ability to tear spell from an enemy hero or casting unit. If the goblins fail, they will cast the spell they were going to tear on themselves. Goblin hunters can set traps, which are invisible to the enemy.
2) Centaurs are the fastest shooters in the game, but take four tiles on the battlefield. Centaur nomads can run away from enemy, who has just hit them and then shoot the enemy from distance with half their normal strength. Centaur marauders does not have penalty when shooting into support.
3) One of the upgrades for Orc warrior can take hits, which were targeted on a nearby friendly stacks, also his retaliation attack is two times stronger than normal attack.
4) Shamans: Human and succubus hybrids can cast haste and slow. One of the upgrades, when engaged in hand-to-hand combat will curse (Slow, Weakness, Curse, Disrupting ray) the opponent.
5) Orc warlords raise initiative of all friendly creatures by one.
6) Pao-kai is one of the upgrades for wyvern. It is immune to blind, because it has no eyesight to begin with. It attacks with electric breath that harms everyone standing near the attacked creature (amount of damage is divided among those affected by the discharge). In addition, Pao-kai can eat dead bodies to restore health.
7) Cyclops is a strong hand-to-hand fighter, with an ability to attack walls, when in siege battle. One of the upgrades for Cyclops can shoot beam from his eye that affects several creatures, and decreases his victims luck.
