if you install patch 1.4, it will remove three whole sections of objects from the editor.

"Arena", "Conquest", and "Dialogue" objects will be removed.
All the interesting and unique objects in the "Arena" section that i use every map for decoration are removed and cannot be placed.
no more academy buildings, towers, dark elf statues, towers, unique walls, ect....

also, all the snow covered mountains in the "conquest" section are removed.

the objects still remain on maps made before patch 1.4 and are not taken off the map.
and they are still in the editor files, so
here is a post with more info about that and a solution....

i myself hope that if enough players show that they want those objects put back in the editor, nival will put them back, and we wont have to do any mods. But for now, its all we can do, since nival has been so stupid as to actually remove objects from its editor.
which is the opposite of what they should be doing.

im in the process of uninstalling HOMM V and patch 1.4 right now and fixing my editor to get the objects back.

They also removed the graphics for the elemental creature dweling and the elemental mage crypt-like thing. Now they are icons.

The hill fort looks okay when you place it on the map, but in the object list it looks like a line now.

I'm hoping they'll put back everything in the expansion editor.

well at least it was only the icons that were changed, not the in map object. on the map they look like they always have.

i have no idea why they took away the old icon, the hilltop fort icon doestn even look like anything now.

siggh, who knows how they could have, or why they messed that up.

Didn't you know that they are infamous for constantly messing up things that previously worked? I've honestly never seen patches that take steps backwards before.
