Got stuck. Need cheat codes. Could not find any online since it just came out.

yes, there are cheats.

There are trainers and console editing cheats that you can find if you look closely in the forum. I think that thread is still at the 1st page.

Check out this thread:

Cheat Codes!

Wrongusername found a way to enable the cheat console & many of the cheats themselves.

Simply put:

Go to your Heroes 5 Directory.

Open the Profiles Folder.

Inside you'll see file named autoexec.cfg

Make a backup copy of this file & put it in a different, safe place!

Use Notepad to open this file.

Then arrow down (or page down) to the bottom of the text in the file.

Type in: setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes

Save!

Then launch your game, and you can bring up the console by hitting the tilde (~) key (the one right next to the number 1 on your keyboard.

The cheats are as follows:

add_army town nTownID, bUpgrade

Will fill all hero army slots with 10 creatures of town id specified. Second param is 0 or 1 which controls whether creatures are from upgraded dwellings or not.

Town ids:
HEAVEN = 0
PRESERVE = 1
ACADEMY = 2
DUNGEON = 3
NECRO = 4
INFERNO = 5

E.g.
add_army 5, 0
Will fill all hero army slots with 10 basic inferno creatures
add_army 4, 1 will fill hero army slots with 10 upgraded Necro creatures

add_all_spells
Gives all spells to currently selected hero. Bypasses all skills reqs, for usage also.

set_hero_luck_morale nLuck nMorale

Sets luck and morale base values for current hero. For ex set_hero_luck_morale 5 3

show_player_money playernumber
Outputs resource quantities of specified player into console. So you can spy on ai. E.g. show_player_money 2

show_hero_mp
Shows detailed movement point stats for currently selected hero - exact quantity, stats for currently plotted path(how many points it'll take).

add_exp quantity
Adds quantity xp to currently selected hero. E.g. add_exp 5000

clear_money
Sets all your resources to 0

add_gold quantity
Sets current gold to quantity and zeroes out other resources.

add_money quantity
Sets all resources except gold to quantity and sets gold to quantity*1000. So add_money 100 gives 100 of everything and 100000 gold.

The add_all_spells, add_money & add_army codes work really great. They will really get you out of most any jam.

Thanks again Wrongusername for finding this information & sharing it with us.

Good Luck & Have Fun!

Want i Win button with that ? or even better just tell your friends you beat the game and get a pen and write completed on the box

There was a great set of codes when the games got stuck, but they seem to be overriden or diabled with the new patch.
Any ideas about how to re-enable the codes?

From what I've read, only the add_skill, add_army, & add_money cheats were disabbled because they were usable in multi-player.

All of the @Commands still work; although since I haven't installed Patch 1.2 yet, I can't confirm this information first-hand.

@GiveArtifact("HeroName", Artifact#)
@AddHeroCreatures("HeroName", Creature#, #)
@ChangeHeroStat("HeroName", Stat#, #)
@OpenCircleFog(0, 0, 0, 9999, 1) for surface or
@OpenCircleFog(0, 0, 1, 9999, 1) for underground

Check this link for a more complete listing of codes and for the correct spelling of Hero's names:

Curios Complete Guide to Heroes 5 Cheats!

everyone keeps talking about heroes 5 directory? How do i find it?

Right click on the homm5 shortcut on your desktop,go to properties and in the new window press on find target.
After that you will have to press on the up one level button in the newly opened explorer.
You should be in the homm5 dir now. .

thank you
