Spell information

[Zortyum]

Hey, ive been a fan of M&M since Heroes 1 ( at least i think it was heroes 1 or at least a prototype - actually there was "heroes 0" also :P) so it was with great happiness i found heroes 5 was being developed.

My question is, in battle how do i know what a spell does, how do i see it description when it is already in creatures :P I know what weakness does because ive played other heroes, but if i hadent and the computer heroe casted it on one of my creatures, how could i see its description? because with 2xright-click i can see it is active on the creature, but when i try to move the cursor above it waiting for a description the window fades.. :P

I saw the same thing in demo but i though they would fix it... i guess i was worng, or am i missing something?

Thx

I may be wronge, havn't gotten the game yet, but I think that is one of the things they didn't put into the game right away, but probably some patch will fix it like the probably will fix the hall of fame and probably...

Ping!

Anyone could answer please? am i missing something or you just cant see its dscription?

[Zortyum]

Like how am i supposed to know what bash from footmans does?? Oo

Are we back to the less than sufficient manual here? They should really put these thing in writing so people have a chance to take advantage of special skills and spells.

Go to The Genies Lamp (http://www.the-genies-lamp.com) , there are the description of most spells and all creature abilities. For example, the shield bash is an ability that has a chance to happen on attack that negates retaliation and pushes the target back in the initiative bar.

Spells description (http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/spells.shtml)

Here are some detailed description of the spells, with the exact % and calc.

It's great that you're telling me what the spells do- but how do you gain them? According to the manuel, spells are given automatically when you enter a town, yet in the few hours I've been playing Ive not been able to get any. The town info screen says that there is no available upgrade to the mage's tower, so that means there is at least a lvl 1 tower already there, correct? If it is, how do I have my hero learn the spells there? Thanks.

I should mention that I'm only on the 3rd mission of the first campaign, so I only have the one city. So until I get multiple cities, I wont get any spells?

Well, the first missions in the first campaign are some kind of tutorial http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif If I remember correctly, magic is introduced in the fourth scenario. Therefore, you do not see much of the 'magic' part of the game yet http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
